Joe Jackson Sues Michael Jackson's Doctor for Wrongful Death


Jackson patriarch, Joe, has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's former personal physician. According to Joe, hours before his son was given a lethal shot of Propofol, Murray was whooping it up by drinking at an L.A. strip club.

The grieving dad alleges that the good doctor was spotted kicking back a few at Sam Hofbrau, a popular topless strip club in downtown L.A. Joe's attorney, Brian Oxman, states in court documents, "It was reckless for him to 'drink' prior to administering anesthesia to Michael Jackson. He concealed his conduct from Michael Jackson."

The legal papers also claim that Murray administered a "polypharmacy of drugs," which brought on a slew of health problems that eventually led to Michael's demise.

According to the documents, the King of Pop had "neurological, pulmonary, and anemia signs over several weeks prior to his death. In May and June 2009, Michael Jackson was confused, easily frightened, unable to remember, obsessive and disoriented. He had impaired memory, loss of appetite and absence of energy. He was cold and shivering during the summer rehearsals for his show."

There is also some disturbing information in the legal papers about how Murray allegedly did not come clean about the drugs he gave to Michael to EMT workers and the doctors, who feverishly tried to save the entertainer's life.

Murray's legal team is certainly not going down without a fight and plan on refuting every claim that Joe flings at them. His lawyers have denied that Murray even drinks liquor and contend that his busy schedule did not allow him to patronize strip clubs.

Either way, the once-famed cardiologist stands accused of administering the prescription sedatives Propofol, Lorazepam and Midazolam to Michael. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter in February. He pleaded not guilty.
