Jacko's doctor 'to be charged with manslaughter'

Michael Jackson's personal doctor will be charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks, according to reports in America. Dr Conrad Murray was by the King of Pop's side when he collapsed and died from a heart attack on June 25, and his role in the singer's death is the subject of a major federal investigation. Over the last month, two offices connected to Dr Murray have been searched by police, as has his home. The doctor - who has been interviewed by detectives several times - has posted a short video message on YouTube, thanking supporters and assuring them he has told the truth throughout. The Fox News channel is quoting law enforcement officers as saying Michael Jackson's dermatologist, Dr Arnold Klein, will also be hit with charges related to medical malpractice. However, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, said police had not yet decided on any charges.
