MEDIA WANTS SEARCH WARRANTS FROM MIJAC CASE: Nevada judge to make decision after meeting with LA prosecutor and detective.(October 22, 2009)
*Lawyers representing The Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, TMZ and the Las Vegas Review-Journal, are seeking the release of all search warrant documents relating to the Michael Jackson investigation in Nevada.
A Nevada judge said Tuesday she'll meet with a Los Angeles prosecutor and police detective before making a decision whether to release the documents, the AP reported. Clark County District Court Judge Valerie Adair wanted to review the reasons for sealing the search warrants executed July 28 at Dr. Conrad Murray's home, office and a storage unit in Las Vegas, and on Aug. 11 at a Las Vegas pharmacy where authorities say Murray legally bought the powerful sedative propofol. Las Vegas attorney Donald Campbell said the state never showed why the warrants should be sealed and never gave a reason to keep them sealed. "The sealed court records — search warrants and affidavits — involve a matter of great public concern: the investigation into the death of one of the world's most popular entertainers," Campbell and partner J. Colby Williams said in an application filed Oct. 7. The 50-year-old Jackson died June 25 at a rented Los Angeles mansion. Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist hired to be the pop star's personal physician during a world tour, told police he gave Jackson propofol that morning to help him sleep. The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Jackson's death a homicide, caused primarily by propofol and another sedative. Speak Out
