Conrad Murray's Lawyers To Argue Michael Jackson Injected Drug Himself

Embattled celebrity physician DR. Conrad Murray's lawyers are out to prove Michael Jackson was responsible for his own death after requesting fingerprint evidence to support allegations the King of Pop injected himself with the drug that killed him.

The medic stands accused of administering the fatal dose of Propofol which led to Jackson's death in June 2009 and is due to face trial in May (11).

He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and his lawyers are now set to argue Murray wasn't even holding the needle when he was said to have injected his most famous client with the drug, according to Tmz.com.

During a Los Angeles court hearing on Wednesday (16Mar11), Murray's legal team requested experts at the FBI deliver a first generation fingerprint of a broken syringe detectives found at the scene of the alleged crime.

Tmz.com reports Murray has denied breaking the needle and his lawyers are convinced the evidence is key to the investigation, claiming Jackson injected himself while the doctor was out of the room.

Meanwhile, it emerged this week (begs14Mar11) that surveillance video footage from Jackson's California home on the day he died has reportedly been accidentally erased after police officers allegedly failed to make a full copy. Detectives initially probing Jackson's death are said to have copied just four minutes of footage, which shows nothing but the singer arriving home.

I so tired of this doctor trying save his arse. I know he does not want to be the reason Michael is gone, but he is. As a Doctor what he should have done is not givin him the profol. He was not trained and he was not present when he got into trouble. I recently went to the dentist to have surgery and I seen the exact same bottle use with Michael hanging over me. I asked I won't die like Michael jackson will I.The Doctors response was No, and Michael would not be dead either all the doctor would have had to do is tip his chin up slightly to open the air passage. Unfortunaly the doctor was not there he was not monitoring him at all. By the time he walked back into the room it was to late Michael was Gone and he knows it. Even if Michael had woke up and injected himself the doctor should have remained on cloase watch and either A- Michael would not have been able to inject himself or B- He would have been readly avail to ressitate. What he should have done was refuse this type of treatment because if it had been any one of us he certainly would have refused.But money motivated him and we cannot have this type of Doctor treating anyone his ethics have been compromised point blank period!

All of this is stupid and proposterous!!! He gave Michael a deadly cocktailmix, it was not just the propofol. Why doesn't anyone remember that! Ultimately that is what took Michael's life!! All the meds he gave him prior then mix the propofol and it took him over the edge!!! HELLLOOOOO! Anyone listening out there???? MURRAY IS GUILTY!!!
