『新闻』Jackson’s doctor prepared to surrender if charges filed

编者小语：摇滚天王迈克尔·杰克逊猝死案件正在调查中，2月2日，杰克逊私人医生穆雷的律师爱德华·切尔诺夫表示，穆雷医生打算投案自首。此前外界怀疑杰克逊的突然死亡和穆雷的滥用药物脱不了干系。由于检方尚未宣布是否对穆雷提起诉讼，以及提起什么诉讼，所以穆雷选择在这个当口选择自首，很有点想“坦白从宽”的意思。

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Michael Jackson's personal physician is prepared to surrender if authorities file charges against him over the death of the pop star, a newspaper report said on Wednesday.

Dr. Conrad Murray has arrived in Los Angeles and his arrival set off a new round of speculation that authorities were about to file charges against him, the Los Angeles Times said.

Authorities have been mulling a manslaughter case against the doctor since last summer.

"I don't have any specific information that leads me to believe he is going to be charged this week," Murray's lawyer Ed Chernoff said in remarks published by the paper. "but if he is, we've made it clear he's available to turn himself in."

But a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney' s office declined to say whether prosecutors planned to file a case against Murray, the paper said.

Chernoff told the newspaper that Murray was visiting Los Angeles on personal matters and that he planned to discuss strategy with his attorneys, two of whom are based in Southern California.

Murray acknowledged administering the anesthetic propofol to Jackson shortly before his death June 25, according to police affidavits, but he has denied doing anything wrong.

The Los Angeles County's coroner's office has blamed Jackson's death on "acute propofol intoxication."

涉案者律师：穆雷随时可以投降

据美联社报道，穆雷的律师爱德华·切尔诺夫当地时间周二透露，穆雷医生预备向当局投案自首，并愿意回应任何指控，但是穆雷自首的具体方式和内容尚不便透露。由于检察官至今没有公布针对穆雷的任何指控，因此穆雷如果自首也能争取到一定的主动。穆雷的律师爱德华·切尔诺夫还表示，穆雷本人已经从休斯敦赶到洛杉矶，“穆雷根本不会藏起来，如果有人跟他说十分钟内‘投降’，他就会‘投降’。”

穆雷从一开始就宣称，他从未给杰克逊什么致命的药物，毕竟他给杰克逊异丙酚并不违法。如果过失杀人指控成立，检察官必须证明穆雷有过失性的举动。洛杉矶地区副检察官大卫·瓦尔格伦拒绝对此发表评论。

匿名法官：检方考虑公开审案

洛杉矶警察局的调查人员花了几个月时间搜集有关穆雷动机的证据。上个月，一位法官告诉美联社记者，检察官倾向于让陪审团以过失杀人罪起诉穆雷。而在1月17日下午，另一名法官透露，检察官打算提出刑事指控，因此本案会公开审理。

美国著名辩护律师哈兰德·布劳恩认为，此举表明检察官很有信心，他们掌握的证据和证人足以接受公众诘问和监督。“现在放出这样的消息，其实是对受控方的试探。”
