A stripper claims at Sam’s Hofbrau in downtown L.A. says the the night before Michael Jackson died, Dr. Conrad Murray was in the strip club, drinking.
What that means as far as his physical state that night or the following day is completely unclear, but it’s something that Dr. Murray has flatly denied.
The stripper, who’s shopping her story, says Dr. Murray was drinking at the club before midnight on June 24, 2009, a charge Joe Jackson has made.
She says that after Michael Jackson died … management told employees not to speak to anyone about it because “they didn’t want to be involved.”
The stripper says Dr. Murray was at the club several times in May and June.
UNDER THE GUN: Dr. Conrad Murray faces serious allegations.
Sam’s Hofbrau is a couple of miles from L.A.’s Staples Center, where Michael Jackson had been rehearsing for his London concert that same evening.
The embattled doc’s rep said that Michael’s personal physical was not at the club the night before he died, and that Conrad Murray does not drink.
As in, at all.
Joe Jackson’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, has sent Dr. Murray a notice of intent to sue for wrongful death earlier this week. In those documents, Oxman has asserted that Dr. Murray was at the club, drinking, hours before MJ’s death.
Even if that’s true, could he mean 12 or 16 hours? Would he be impaired?
