Judge weighs warrants
A district judge probably will decide soon whether to unseal search warrants issued in Clark County after pop superstar Michael Jackson's death.
Judge Valerie Adair had a closed-door hearing Tuesday to listen to why Los Angeles authorities, including a prosecutor and detective, believe releasing the warrants to the public would prejudice their homicide investigation into Jackson's death.
In late July, investigators searched Dr. Conrad Murray's home at Red Rock Country Club, his Flamingo Road medical office and a storage unit. Two weeks later, a Las Vegas pharmacy was raided.
Murray has told investigators he administered propofol and multiple sedatives to help Jackson sleep hours before he died in Beverly Hills, Calif., on June 25.
Adair said she would review all of the warrants and associated documents before making a decision, which is expected within the next few days.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Los Angeles Times and The Associated Press filed a motion earlier this month to unseal the search warrants.
