Two Former Employees in the Police Investigation

Two Michael Jackson employees—one of whom was at his home on the morning he died—enter the police investigation. According to their lawyer, “they have important information and the police need to conduct a thorough interview with them.”

Carle Douglas, who was part of O.J. Simpson’s defense team, said police had only interviewed his clients informally, but the two want to provide more information to the police. One of the interviews lasted only two minutes, and the other produced only a one-page statement.

According to this lawyer, some of the information from these two people could shed light on the dark aspects of Dr. Murray’s conduct and Michael’s final hours.

The lawyer said he had arranged two interview appointments for his clients. They went to the police office in suits and ties, but one appointment was canceled, and in the other, the investigating officer was not present.

Michael Amir, Michael’s staff manager at his rented home in Bel Air, and Alberto Alvarez, the security guard on June 25—the day Michael died—were briefly questioned. Douglas says Alvarez was in Michael’s room with Conrad Murray until the paramedics arrived. His lawyer says he has information that can refute or confirm Conrad Murray’s statements about Michael Jackson’s final hours.

Murray said he administered propofol at 10:40 a.m. on June 25, and after monitoring Michael for 10 minutes, he left the room to go to the bathroom. He said that two minutes later, at 11:00 a.m., he returned and found that Michael had stopped breathing. Police, by checking Murray’s cell phone, learned that from 11:18 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. he was busy talking on the phone. The call to emergency services was made at 12:21.

Douglas, who was Jackson’s lawyer in 1993, said that at 12:13 p.m. Amir received a four-second phone call from a nervous Murray. What was the message about? We’ll have to wait and see.
