LAPD/D.A. Feud Derails Dr. Murray Arraignment

The scheduled arraignment Friday for Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson will not take place as scheduled because of the feud between the L.A. County D.A. and the LAPD over Dr. Murray's surrender.

Dr. Conrad Murray and Michael Jackson

As we first reported, the LAPD was bent out of shape -- and that is an understatement -- because the D.A. had kept cops in the dark and had been working with Dr. Murray's lawyers to arrange a voluntary surrender in court at the time of the arraignment.

The plan as of this afternoon -- Dr. Murray's lawyers would drive him to the L.A. County Sheriff's Office at the Airport Courthouse in L.A. at 5:30 AM Friday, along with a bail bondsman. Dr. Murray would be booked, post bail and then walk into court without handcuffs or chains.

We're told the LAPD so vehemently objected to the plan ... the D.A. finally backed off. The LAPD wants to arrest Dr. Murray, book him and bring him into court in handcuffs and/or chains -- something that is fairly standard in homicide cases.

The plan has fallen apart and we're told ... as of now ... there will be no arraignment tomorrow.

It's starting out shaky, folks.

Hey DA of that other city. You were so quick to go after Michael, why not do the same for Murray! Michael never hurt anybody. but this dirtbag did.
Why dont the family call in and put a citizens arrest on him.

?????:  738 days ago

The DA is taking its time because their case against Murray is weak. The LAPD doesn't care about that though, they just want to get the last hoorah. And to the person who said "poor trusting Michael", you are so poor and trusting. This was malpractice on Murray's part but Michael shopped and shopped around for this drug and for somone who would administer it; and was willing to pay anything for it. He knew the risks- as the one nurse told him. So don't act like Michael was totally innocent. Michael ran his life just like he ran his career (did you see This Is It?).
