Medium attorney Darren Kavinoky working at his office \u003cbr/\u003e8. SOUNDBITE (English) Darren Kavinoky/Attorney, on involuntary manslaughter: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Involuntary manslaughter is a negligent killing. It's not an intentional killing. That would elevate it to the crime of murder. Rather, it's a death that arises out of an extremely negligent act.\"\u003cbr/\u003e9. Medium attorney Darren Kavinoky working at his office \u003cbr/\u003e10. SOUNDBITE (English) Darren Kavinoky/Attorney, on delays in criminal investigation: \u003cbr/\u003e\"One of the challenges that law enforcement does face is the delay in investigating the case.

Remember, the crux of an involuntary manslaughter case is this really high degree of negligence. So in order to counter that, his defence team is going to need to show that the actions that Dr. Murray took were medically reasonable, based on the opinions of medical professionals in the community. And of course the other thing, if I'm representing Dr. Murray, is I want to make sure that there's a muzzle on him. He can certainly only hurt his interests by speaking publicly about the Jackson case.\"\u003cbr/\u003e18. Medium attorney Darren Kavinoky working at his office \u003cbr/\u003e19. SOUNDBITE (English) Darren Kavinoky/Attorney, on Murray likely facing trial: \u003cbr/\u003e\"There's a time and place for the full airing of these facts. And my prediction is that time and place will be a courthouse. This will likely be the next trial of the century.\" \u003cbr/\u003e20. Wide attorney Darren Kavinoky working at his office\u003cbr/\u003eThe array of evidence police collected from Michael Jackson's personal physician's clinic, home and storage unit shows that authorities are trying to follow a trail of drugs and looking into the doctor's record-keeping as they try to unravel what led to the pop star's death.\u003cbr/\u003eSearch warrants targeting Dr. Conrad Murray's Houston clinic, Las Vegas home and his storage unit mean that authorities have moved into a full-fledged criminal investigation, looking toward the kind of court case they could build against the physician, legal experts say.\u003cbr/\u003e\"No official has gone on record saying this, and we still don't have the toxicology reports back, but it's clear from all these search warrants that this case has evolved from a cause of death investigation into a criminal investigation, and Dr. (Conrad) Murray is the central target of it,\" said L.A.-area criminal defence attorney Darren Kavinoky, who has worked on drug and murder cases. \"I would be shocked if we don't see that Dr. Murray is soon arrested or a grand jury returns an indictment naming him as the criminal defendant for this manslaughter case.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLos Angeles police and Drug Enforcement Administration agents began executing the warrants last week and searched Murray's home on Tuesday. \u003cbr/\u003eThe language in the documents said the evidence is being gathered as part of a manslaughter investigation targeting Murray.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are three types of manslaughter charges: voluntary, vehicular and involuntary. \u003cbr/\u003eKavinoky said Murray would likely face involuntary manslaughter charges, which carry a maximum sentence of up to four years in state prison. \u003cbr/\u003eAuthorities have not publicly termed their investigation criminal and still say Murray is not a suspect. \u003cbr/\u003eMurray, 51, was hired as Jackson's physician not long before the singer died. \u003cbr/\u003eHe told investigators he administered the anaesthetic propofol to Jackson the night he died to help him sleep, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. \u003cbr/\u003eIn considering a manslaughter charge against a doctor, a patient's complicity in taking the risk could reduce the doctor's culpability, experts said.\u003cbr/\u003eIf a doctor is aware of the risk, there might also be an issue of whether the patient knows that risk and decided to take it.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The prosecution typically faces significant challenges when they're prosecuting doctors,\" Kavinoky said. \"Especially in a case like this, where the jury is being asked essentially to second-guess this doctor's best medical judgment. And as a society, we're just not conditioned to second-guess doctors. We take what they say as gospel.\"\u003cbr/\u003eKavinoky said the facts aligning around Murray - including several monetary judgments against him - present prosecutors with a ready-made opening argument: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Here we have Dr. Murray, a doctor who has been sanctioned by his licensing board, a doctor who is in financial trouble, and now he has this dream opportunity to be Michael Jackson's personal physician at a pay rate of $150,000 per month. The prosecution is going to argue that Dr. Murray had stars in his eyes, and as a result his best professional judgment went out the window.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMurray has remained out of public view and has not granted any interviews since Jackson's death - a smart move from a defence attorney's perspective, Kavinoky said. \u003cbr/\u003e\"There's a time and place for the full airing of these facts,\" he said. \"And my prediction is that time and place will be a courthouse.
