Jackson Police Probe is 'Criminal,' D.A. Says

Posted Jul 16th 2009 5:34PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonThe LAPD's probe into Michael Jackson's death is a criminal investigation -- according to the L.A. County District Attorney's office.

As we have already reported, multiple law enforcement sources say the LAPD is treating Jackson's death as a homicide.

Although a spokesperson for the LAPD characterizes its probe as a "death investigation," L.A. County D.A. spokesperson Sandi Gibbons says, "There have been conversations by District Attorney personnel with police and Coroner officials in connection with the ongoing investigation. It is common for Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies to be in contact with the District Attorney's office during criminal investigations." (emphasis added).

As we reported, LAPD detectives are treating Jackson's death as a homicide and focusing on Dr. Conrad Murray. Law enforcement sources tell us there is powerful evidence showing that Dr. Murray administered Propofol to Jackson and that drug was the primary cause of his death.

167. Dumda$$ lawyers in the DA's Office blathering about when and why LAPD might contact them does not mean anyone has asked for their help. And who would need the DA's help? Sandi Gibbons should stick to drinking and otherwise STFU.

168. If MJ's doctors had not given in to his demands and gave him those drugs then MJ would have found another doctor. MJ doctored shopped. He went around looking for doctors to give into his demands of drugs. So if Dr. Murray or any other had not given him those drugs he would have found a doctor to do it. That is what MJ wanted, he wanted drugs. MJ was an addict plan an simple. There is no way around it. NO one made him take those drugs. He allowed those doctors to inject him and he wanted to be injected with those drugs. That is what addicts do. It was not murder, it was a form of suicide. MJ is to blame for his own death.

172. this photo of mj is so disgusting. he looks like a barbie doll; i would imagine if he lived, he would have turned into a woman, no offense, but that is the way he looks in this photo; he should have never agreed to this last 50 concert, no way, could he have pulled it off.

What the hell was that? I'm not really sure that was English. Perhaps a prime example of all MJ fans? Pedophiles never think they are hurting a child; they only think they are showing love. What truly makes me sad, is the amount of people who blame the children he hurt for the actions of others. His drug use was merely a perk for him. Get a little high, touch a little boy; now that's talent. Anyone who believes the man...I mean animal, to be an innocent victim is a complete and unmistakable DUMB@$$!

179. How come in the pics of the Neverland Ranch raid the place is so messy? Is that how MJ lived, or was that how the police chose to execute the warrant?
