Murray Confirms He Gave Propofol to Michael Jackson!
(Tmz) In their investigation of the death of Michael Jackson, Law enforcement authorities knew they had their man in Dr. Conrad Robert Murray who administered the lethal injection that may have led to Jackson's death. How did they know? Murray had told LAPD two days after Jackson's death.
Law enforecement sources were told that Murray gave the drug Propofol to Jackson hours before his death. He gave Jackson an IV drip of the powerful anesthesia and Police believe Dr. Murray took a nap after administering the drug. At the time, it is believed that Jackson's heart stopped beating and Murray awakened to find Jackson already dead from heart failure.
An IV drip of Propofol allows a constant, steady infusion of the drug for a period of time determined by the person administering it.
Two mistakes may have occurred when Murray administered the drug. To administer an IV drip of Propofol, a patient should be monitored by an EKG, which sounds an alarm when the patient's pulse drops too low. No EKG was found in the house.
The second mistake was the lack of a device called a pulse oximeter which is used to determine the oxygen saturation in the patient's blood. If the patient's breathing slows to a dangerous level, an alarm alerts the treating physician. No oximeter was found in the house.
Even with these devices, Dr. Murray should have been awake or at least given his fullest attention to Jackson when he administered the lethal drug.
Investigators are still gathering evidence at this moment and will determine if Dr. Murray will be formally charged in the death of Michael Jackson.

Kelsey Grammer's Plea to Keep His Sister's Killer in Prison!
Popular TV actor Kelsey Grammer
(Perez Hilton) Actor Kelsey Grammar (Frasier, Cheers) wasn't able to make it yesterday to the parole hearing of the man convicted of killing his sister--due to flight delays at JFK airport. Instead, a statement from Kelsey Grammer was read at the parole hearing for Freddie Glen, the man who was convicted of murdering Grammer's sister when she was 18 years old.
"This is a butcher. This is a monster," read the statement. "I can never accept the notion that he can pay for the nightmare with anything less than his life."
Karen Grammer was abducted outside a Colorado Springs restaurant, raped and murdered in cold blood on July 1, 1975.
Glenn is serving a life sentence for her murder along with being responsible for the demise of two others all within a one month period.
"She was so smart and good and decent. She wrote poetry … We could laugh for hours together," Grammer said of his beloved sister. "I was supposed to protect her — I could not. It very nearly destroyed me… When we heard this man might be paroled, the suffering began anew."
Glenn will be eligible for parole in 2014.
