Michael Jackson's live-in doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, isn't exactly a doctor. At least in California.
Federal authorities told FOXNews.com that Dr. Conrad Murray is not licensed to administer certain levels of controlled medications in the state, and that if he gave Demerol or Oxycontin to Jackson, as has been reported, it would have been illegal.
To possess the drugs in California, Murray would have had to bring them with him from Nevada or Texas, which is illegal, or administer drugs that other doctors had provided locally or that Jackson had ordered online from abroad, which is also illegal.
"Dr. Murray has DEA registration numbers in Nevada and Texas, but he does not have one in California," a federal law enforcement official
told FOXNews.com. "You absolutely have to have a registration number to prescribe controlled substances, and there was nothing in California."
This dude is screwed. No more playing doctor for him. Honestly, I'm not that surprised. I just feel bad for MJ. Hope his memorial is tasteful tomorrow...I guess 4 hours ago there were already crowds forming.
