Dr. Conrad Murray’s Lawyer Questions Coroner’s Announcement

Ed Chernoff, the attorney for Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, is speaking out to ET about today's announcement from the Los Angeles County Coroner's office that revealed Jackson's cause of death and ruled it a homicide.

Chernoff tells ET: "This press release contains nothing new. For two months we have been hearing the same information, usually from leaks out of the coroner’s office. One has to wonder why the coroner felt compelled to release anything at all if the police investigation is not yet complete.

"In any case, this has all the earmarks of police gamesmanship, and we will not be responding until we get a full autopsy report, including the entire list of drugs found in Mr. Jackson, their quantities, and all other data that would allow independent medical experts to analyze and interpret."
