A police file shrouded in secrecy that shows Michael Jackson had cocaine in his underpants might allow Conrad Murray, the superstar’s doctor, to be exonerated.
Believing that this shocking evidence will persuade the jury, Murray faces involuntary manslaughter charges and claims that Jackson was an addict, thus accountable for his own demise.
Reports from the police, stemming from the 2003 child abuse inquiry, indicate that 500 prescription medication bottles were discovered at Jackson’s Neverland estate.
These documents will be vital for Murray’s defense, as he is accused of administering a fatal dose of the sedative Propofol to Jackson.
A toxicology examination indicated the presence of cocaine in addition to various other drugs in two pairs of Jacko’s Calvin Klein underwear when authorities searched Neverland eight years prior.
The manner in which the cocaine got there remains a mystery. It is possible he may have inadvertently dropped it on his underwear while attempting to get high…though it is known that some heavy users opt for a suppository method for consuming the drug.
Furthermore, traces of the painkiller Demerol, the sleeping drug Promethazine, the potent headache medication Normeperidine, and the morphine alternative Meperidine were located within Jacko’s pants. Also found were minute quantities of blood, believed to have been from a Demerol injection in his groin area.
Murray’s legal team has submitted documentation suggesting that the King of Pop increased his substance use leading up to his last days while preparing for the This Is It concerts in London. He even ingested the powerful intravenous sedative Propofol mixed with orange juice…the very drug that ultimately led to his death.
In addition, Jacko reportedly consumed up to 40 Xanax pills each night. Heavy drinking and marijuana use were also part of his routine. Murray aims to demonstrate that controlling Jackson’s drug habit was virtually impossible.
Prosecutors are requesting that the judge disallow evidence pertaining to Jackson’s drug dependence.
