(Newser) – Michael Jackson doctor Conrad Murray will be charged with manslaughter in the next two weeks, a law enforcement source tells Fox News. Authorities want to carry out a final search warrant next week, probably at a Los Angeles pharmacy, to build evidence against Murray before they make an arrest. Jackson’s dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, will face malpractice-related charges in the coming weeks, an insider said.

Well, he's still dead and someone helped achieve that feat... Writing scrips / dispensing meds you're not authorized to dispense... Don't know how you spin your way out of that one - Criminal AND Civil litigation.
