Charges Won’t Be Pressed Against Seven Doctors Who Treated Michael Jackson

California officials have notified the Associated Press that seven doctors who treated the late Michael Jackson will not be charged in relation to his tragic death. Spokeswoman Christine Gasparac of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement stated on Wednesday that the seven doctors were part of an investigation by the state.

While representatives from the California Medical Board declined to comment, it was confirmed that the “King of Pop’s” personal doctor, Conrad Murray, was not one of the seven doctors who were exonerated. Murray, who allegedly provided Jackson with a cocktail of sedatives, including a lethal dose of Propofol, pleaded not guilty to felony involuntary manslaughter back in February.

An attorney for the late pop singer’s father, Joe, responded to the decision that was made by California officials. “I am very disappointed,” said Brian Oxman, who is representing Joe Jackson in a wrongful death lawsuit that was filed against Murray. “The misuse of medications by Michael Jackson in the last years of his life was excessive and to fail to bring that to the public eye is ignoring reality.”

While seven doctors were exonerated as a result of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement’s investigation, one unidentified medical practitioner who prescribed drugs to a Jackson alias has been referred to the California Medical Board.

As for Conrad Murray, he faces a sentence of up to four years in jail if he is convicted and a preliminary hearing is scheduled to occur next month.
