THE legal team of Conrad Murray, the doctor charged with involuntary homicide over the death of Michael Jackson, said LA prosecutors are being "suspiciously slow" in turning over documents to them, reports said today.
Reports on celebrity gossip website TMZ said Conrad's defence team are skeptical about the delay from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
"The prosecution had eight months to accumulate their evidence and we still haven't received it. Something here isn't right," one source told TMZ.
A spokesperson for the District Attorney's Office dismissed any suggestion of impropriety as "ridiculous," telling TMZ, "There are hundreds of documents that are being stamped and when the process is completed, they will be turned over."
It comes after reports claimed Jackson had boasted that his doctor was the "best in the world", telling aides, "I trust this guy with my life" just two days before he was killed by drugs administered by Murray.
A report in the News of the World on Sunday revealed how Jackson, who died of a Propofol overdose on June 25, 2009, praised cardiologist Murray as he prepared for a dress rehearsal at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles on June 23, 2009.
Jackson had also insisted the doctor was paid almost $3 million for his round-the-clock services during the This Is It concerts - threatening to pull out if his demands were not met.
