Lawyer Says Conrad Murray Lied

Attorney For Vegas Doctor Adams Says Murray Has Story Wrong

The Michael Jackson death investigation heated up when a local attorney fired back at Dr. Conrad Murray.

He said Murray did not witness his client, Las Vegas Valley Dr. David Adams, giving Jackson Propofol in the weeks before he died.

There are conflicting reports over Murray's statements to police. Attorney Libo Agwara said Murray has the story all wrong.

“If Dr. Murray actually said that, he was lying," Agwara said. “Dr. Murray has never observed my client administer Propofol to Michael Jackson."

In a search warrant affidavit, Murray claims between March and April, he arranged for Adams to treat Jackson with Propofol, and was there to witness the procedure.

"My client wasn't in California in June, May, April, or even March," Agwara said. “Murray called him and asked for a meeting."

The attorney would not go into detail about what happened at that meeting in March or even where it was at, but he said that was the one and only time the two doctors have met.

"Why Dr. Murray has chosen to drag my client's name into this, we don't know," Agwara said.

Agwara admitted Adams had given Jackson Propofol before -- on three or four occasions in 2008 -- all for dental procedures.

"Mr. Jackson was in town and needed dental work done," Agwara said. “My client, because he is one of the best, goes and administers Propofol to Michael Jackson. Jackson woke up every one of those times."

Agwara said he could not elaborate on the connection between Murray and Adams.

“He's angry. You can imagine he's angry. He can't even imagine why Murray would even bring his name up," Agwara said. “He's wondering, ‘I wasn't there on June 25 in Los Angeles, I have not seen him in awhile. I treated him last year. Why is my name being dragged into this?’"

Agwara said his client has a good record and should have no role in this investigation.

“My client has put 6,000 people to sleep, and they all woke up," Agwara said. “And each one of those times, he used Propofol."

Agwara said his client has never treated Jackson for insomnia, and said he did the normal checkups and procedures when administering Propofol to Jackson last year.

The attorney said he has been in contact with authorities and said Adams is not the target of an investigation right now.
