Dr. Conrad Murray's office gets raided by DEA

TMZ, just learned that the DEA has raided the Houston office of Dr. Conrad Murray.

"We're told 8 Drug Enforcement Agency vehicles arrived at his offices about 30 minutes ago. Two LAPD detectives also arrived on scene along with uniformed members of the Houston Police Department and 10 members of the DEA's Tactical Diversion Team. There are another dozen or so DEA agents on hand.

The law enforcement agents, armed with a search warrant, entered the property and began going through the property."

According to a Fox News article a day before the D.E.A raid.

"investigators are using the results of preliminary toxicology reports, which have not yet been released to the public, to track down the sources of the drugs found in high concentrations in Jackson’s system."

I think the L.A.P.D and the D.E.A already know what caused Michael Jackson's death and have delayed the toxicology report being released to the public to gain time in the investigation against Dr. Conrad Murray. I think TMZ and other sources have been correct so far and that the authorities already know it was the drug Propofol that caused Jackson's death. Even the story in the LA Times titled Murder charges in Michael Jackson case are unlikely, source says had this to say if the drug Propofol is found to be the cause of death.

"If the toxicology report indicates that Jackson's death was caused by propofol, the powerful anesthetic found in his home, prosecutors could bring charges against doctors or others involved in giving him the drug. Prosecutors have discussed a range of possible charges in that scenario "all the way up to involuntary manslaughter," the senior law enforcement official said."

All that needs to happen for the Intrade murder contract to expire at 100, is for Dr. Conrad Murray to be charged for some type of unlawful killing, he does not need to be convicted which is much more difficult. The prosecutors just need to have enough evidence to maybe convince a jury.

Considering the speed and intensity of the investigation, along with the high profile news attention that it will be getting, I am expecting the District Attorney's office to throw the book at Dr. Murray. Right now I give a 50% chance that the Intrade contracts JACKSON.MURDER.DEC09 and JACKSON.MURDER.DEC10 expire at 100.
