In addition to listing two Baggies of marijuana, the detective's report of what was found in Jackson's home listed three vials of Latanoprost Plus Solution liquid. An online search found medical journal references to this glaucoma medication also used to stimulate hair growth.
Another drug being used off label. I wonder how many drugs were used off label by Mr Jackson over the years. He was trying to stimulate hair growth.
Diprivan was being used off label and now this drug. Hmmmmmm

How do we know the glaucoma medication was being used off label? Glaucoma can certainly happen to anyone, unfortunately.
I dont know why MJ would want to stimulate hair growth since he had worn wigs for years and years and they looked great on him, imo

I think the medication was used to stimulate hair growth. Who knows how long he was using this drug. I have never heard anything about him having glaucoma, have you? Of course he would want his own hair. I can't imagine anyone wanting to wear wigs if they don't have to do so. I'm not in agreement the long wig looked so good on him. It always looked like a woman's wig to me.
I still wonder how many drugs he took off label over the years.

I think the marijuana was really hash based on its description, and there really is no such thing as "off label use". And probably one of the few drugs that never would have killed him.

Its been legal for a number of years. It can be used legally for basically any condition with a doctors recommendation. The statute lists certain specific conditions, and then ends the section with ...or any condition. One of the conditions it specifically lists is writers cramp, which always cracked me up. The only condition you really need to have is $200.00 and a ride to the doctors office.

I think Arizona is one of the states. In California, they have dispensaries or collectives. Its like any other store basically, but it always smells good inside. You must have your written recommendation and your id with you to go inside. Once inside, they have several kinds on display to choose from, as well as "edibals", drinks, butter.. you name it. Private insurance does not cover it, but believe it or not state aid will pay for half of the cost to obtain a recommendation. They don't help pay for the "medicine." But you are allowed to grow it and as long as you don't have more than 8 ounces you are good to go.

Actually, back in the days when MJ and Debbie first met I dont think she was all that bad. It does appear to some that she hasnt aged well but I saw some early pics of her that looked nice. I wonder what he saw in her --- if anything at all. From some accounts, she merely offered her services at a time when MJ and Lisa Marie were married but Lisa didnt want to have children with him.

It is still illegal under federal law. Obama put a halt to federal raids on dispensaries, but it still happens. Even the local police will often give a ticket and take it away. But it will be dismissed in court, and then you have to file a motion to get your pot back. The city of Garden Grove, CA spent millions going to court instead of giving a few grams back to the guy. That case set the precedent for being able to ask for it back, after dismissal from court.

If you have medical records for any condition, and tell the pot doc that it helps the condition, you get the recommendation. If you don't have medical records of any kind, you pay more to establish a condition. I would bet that not a single person with $200.00 to pay has ever been turned down. Even if it goes to court, you don't have to justify your condition, as that is between your doctor and yourself.

Michael Jackson Estate Hearing
Posted Aug 28th 2009 11:30AM by TMZ Staff
Attorneys for everyone involved in Michael Jackson's estate -- Katherine Jackson, Michael's kids, and the co-administrators -- are in court today to discuss Katherine's safe harbor petition.
The safe harbor petition allows Katherine to ask the judge if she can object the special administrators without it being considered contesting Jackson's will. Jackson's will contains a no-contest clause -- meaning anyone who challenges it loses their inheritance rights.
** KEEP REFRESHING FOR THE LATEST UPDATES **
11:59 AM ET -- The judge has shot Buie down, claiming she doesn't have the standing to file an objection. Apparently imaginary relationships don't count.
11:57 AM ET -- A woman named Charlene Buie (crazy on Line 1) says she has a hand-written will from Jackson and doesn't think the will recognized by the court is legit because the initials on the will are not MJ's handwriting.

Well that horrible injustice against the true inventor of moonwalk, has ended, so what difference would it make, even if true.
Strange that once MJ did the moonwalk it would forever be known as his. There is the moonwalk and then there is the moonwalk performed by one of the most dynamic dancers of our time.....Michael Jackson.
His ability to put his own touches on it completely wiped out everyone else that had done it before him.
And Fred Astair thought Michael Jackson was a fabulous dancer.

It is the same thing. He knew people thought he invented that when he didn't. It is a lie by omission. He omitted who invented it.

Here's some history about the dance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalk_%28dance%29
Maybe I missed it, but I dont see the reference to Soul Train like in J. Randy Taborrelli's updated book about Michael. J. Randy gave the kid's name who MJ allegedly got it from on the show. I do believe MJ made it his own though.

Michael made it look so magical.......like an illusion that is why the moonwalk will always be the dance that MJ did.

I am sure that in the 20's Bill Robinson wasn't thinking of trademarking the Moonwalk. I those days black performers were paid little and as successful as he was Bill Robinson died penniless.
When did he die?

Long before his time. Many black performers. Most of MJ's moves came from these dancers from the 1920's and 30's.

In this case, I think its more of a general word used to describe a distinct characteristic of MJ more so than a legal term to describe specific possession.

Those black dancers back in the 20s and 30s you see on the "you tube" video didn't have a chance to showcase their moves to the world. Remember segregation and Jim Crow?

The word is that everyone is very happy with what they’re seeing.
Most importantly, they do say that we’ll see Michael giving cogent instructions to dancers and singers, and interacting with his crew and cast. This should end once and for all the accusations that Jackson was out of it to perform, or to do the shows in London.
Meanwhile, no one knows why the police investigation into Jackson’s death is taking so long. Many people close to Jackson right before his death still have not been interviewed by the police. Nevertheless, one Jackson intimate has been very much in touch with the police, and is warning friends that something “big” and “dangerous” is about to happen.

The manner of death is ruled: "HOMICIDE."

"The drugs PROPOFOL and LORAZEPAM were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson's death. Other drugs detected were: Midazolam, Diazepam, Lidocaine and Ephedrine.
The final Coroner's report, including the toxicology report, will remain on security, per the LAPD.

The Los Angeles County coroner's office officially ruled the death of Michael Jackson a homicide and said he died of "acute propofol intoxication."
According to a statement from the coroner: The "manner of death has been ruled homicide. Cause of death was established as acute propofol intoxication. Other conditions contributing to death: benzodiazepine. The drugs propofol and Lorazepam were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson’s death. Other drugs detected were midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine, and ephedrine. The final coroner’s report includes a complete toxicology report will that remain on security hold at the request of the Los Angeles police department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office"
Homicide refers to a death at the hand of another person, but does not necessarily translate to criminal charges.

This sure has all the signs of the doc dump on a busy Friday afternoon I talked about yesterday.
This is all CNN has:
The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled that Michael Jackson's death was a homicide. Michael Jackson was found dead on June 25. He had been preparing for a comeback concert series in London.
The coroner concluded that Jackson died from "acute propofol intoxication," a statement from the coroner's office said.
"Other conditions contributing to death: benzodiazepine effect," the statement said.
The coroner announced two weeks ago that he had completed the autopsy report but would withhold the conclusions at the request of the Los Angeles Police Department, which has been conducting a criminal investigation of the pop singer's June 25 death.
And the AP has less than that.

There was nothing accidental about the acute propofol intoxication - if the security guard had given it to Michael, maybe due to a lack of knowledge, but never in Dr. Murray's case. His responsibility lies in knowing the potential danger of using this substance outside the limits it was intended for.

Accidental overdose would be where the dosage was inadvertently incorrect ... ie desiring to administer 25 mgs and inadvertently gave 50 mgs.
Acute intoxication doesn't necessarily mean that more than 25 mgs was given, which is an appropriate dosage. The synergistic effects of the combination of the drugs contributed to his death ... the benz. drugs increased the effects of the diprivan.
So, since all of the medication was actually intended to be given, it couldn't be labeled as an accidental overdose. But, the end result wasn't intended ... and that's where the DA has to make a decision about whether to file charges. If the tox. report reveals that 25 mgs was the dosage administered, since MJ had a history of tolerating 50 mgs, it's not as easy of a case as you may think.

If I'm on this jury, if it comes to it, I would have to know how much OVER that .25 he gave MJ if they can tell and at trial they would know. And even then, I dunno, they were doing this nightly for weeks. Murray had a duty to MJ and to himself to at the very least research the drugs he was giving MJ if he was going to be the one to do it. Some will say well, MJ was gonna do it anyway. Maybe. Obviously he couldn't do it to himself. It has now been ruled a homicide by propofol basically and Murray admits to giving it to him. He only admits to .25 mg THAT night/morning, however. How much do you have to have been given for it to be considered "intoxication"?

Doesn't your hinky meter go off with that? I bolded the area of my concern. Who said that MJ had a history of tolerating 50 mg? Murray? What happens if the other doctors reports come out that they have actually given MJ less that that?
Even a history of tolerating 25 mgs could be problematic. For any charges above manslaughter, the will have to prove a wanton disregard for human life. Hard, hard burden where a medical regime had been established by prior doctors, including anesthesiologists, and being continued by Murray.

He shouldn't have administered it in the first place -- I think you all are missing that. It is OUTSIDE of standard medical practices -
there is NO medical justification for giving it to MJ.
And it is Murray stating that MJ was use to getting 50mg. I want to see what other doctors administered to MJ. IMO, it has already been proved that Murray lied.

Wouldnt it be in W. LA? Santa Monica?
Depending on which way the wind is blowing. I'm in Laguna, and although it feels like Santa Ana's, the minimal breeze is coming offshore.

Ok. What is the punishment and by whom for acting outside the standard of medical practice? The state medical board? Does that add to any potential charges? What if he was found out to be administering Propofol in a home setting and MJ didn't die I guess is what I mean.

It took almost two years to charge Stern and the other doctors in ANS death - so what is your point? The investigation has not been concluded yet.
No it hasn't by a long shot. This thing may be linked from one state to another causing more jurisdictions to be involved. We already have Texas, NV and California in the mix.
I think it is a case where one piece of evidence links to something else.
Out of 2 SWs released do you know which ones that remained sealed? The media said they got the Judge to release two of four.

Board of Medical Quality Assurance. But, they need to know about the activities in order for them to do an investigation ... either a settlement in excess of $30,000 or a complaint filed with their department.

Normally, but when the case is expected to be one that requires larger facilities ... ie OJ case, the DA can file it in Central.

And no doubt that will make for a good malpractice suit, but it wasn't against the law.

I bet you make a good defense attorney. Since when is homicide not against the law. I didn't see anywhere it being a justifiable homicide.

Not to me, especially when he is whipping his head back and forth while he's rocking out, and causing untold numbers of females to faint at his "style". His hair looked gorgeous, wig or not. By the way Michael Jackson is a victim of homicide in case you didn't hear.

Did you see the home video of him when MC pushed him off of the high diving board and he was fully clothed and even had his sharp black hat on? LOL! He was wet from head to toe and when he came up out of the water he even shook his head to get the water out of his eyes and his hair was just like anyone else's. Even wet he looked cute.:smile:

Of course homicide is against the law, but so far no one has been charged with that crime.
I'm not sure you understand how difficult it is to convict a doctor of homicide in a case in which it is so obviously unintentional by the doctor.
I don't think Cooley will bring charges unless he is very very confident of a conviction, he doesn't want to be another Garcetti. IMO

I know how difficult it is, that doesn't mean we don't charge people with crimes. Murray admitted it. Unintentional or not (and I'm not convinced it was) it was a reckless disregard of human life, in the most extreme sense.

I would like to hear Murray's complete explanation of who he was talking to for 47 minutes since it wasn't 911 and why he was running all over the house and not tending to a what we were initially lead to believe was a dying MJ?
I wonder if they were able to determine an approximate time of death? Did I hear correctly that the room where MJ was found was 90 degrees? In California? In summertime? Wasupwit dat?

Unperson``had to edit your quote..dont wish to screw up thread
But it is surely against the law to give medications to someone and allow them to die..especially since a DR. (Conrad) gives it to the victim..lacking proper medical equipment..and surroundings to resuscitate..Dr's are held to much higher standards than laypersons...so in a nutshell..Negligence leading to death by a professional who should know or realize what they are doing could cause death...hummming..could actually reach 2nd degree murder..not that I think that is what will be charged..but for myself as a HC professional..I not only hold him to the standard..but feel disgusted with his wilful disregard for humanlife!!
BTW..I havent changed my tune since I first heard the word "Diprivan"!
LMS
Let me spin a scenario... Prior to hiring Murray, MJ had a trained and Board Certified Anesthesiologist train Murray in the proper out of hospital administration of Diprivan. Add to this scenario the fact that the Anesthesiologist tells Murray that he has given MJ Diprivan many many times without incident, as have other doctors.
Of course this is pure conjecture, but I have a feeling it's not far from the true story.
I haven't heard anyone in LAPD mention anything but manslaughter, and the above scenario could be the reason.
