Dr. Murray’s Attorney: Search Warrant Was For ‘Manslaughter’ Evidence

Ed Chernoff, an attorney for Dr. Conrad Murray, has released a statement to ET about Wednesday's search of Dr. Murray's offices.

Chernoff tells ET:

"We can confirm that a search warrant was executed today on Dr. Murray’s offices in Houston, Texas. We reviewed the warrant and remained on the premises while the search was being executed. The search was conducted by members of the DEA, two Robbery -- Homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department and Houston Police officers. The search warrant authorized law enforcement to search for and seize items, including documents they believed constituted evidence of the offense of manslaughter. Law enforcement concluded their search around 12:30 p.m., and left with a forensic image of a business computer hard drive and 21 documents. None of the documents taken had previously been requested by law enforcement or the L.A. Coroner's office."
