STEVEN LONG on MJ Doctor & JOHNNY FRATTO on NJ Corruption

LISTEN LIVE SATURDAY 2pm Pacific/4pm Central/5pm Eastern by clicking this link!!

Steven Long, our TRUE CRIMES man in Houston, Texas gives us the inside scoop on Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's doctor, and the recent raid on the MD's Houston office.  You won't get this anywhere else!  Steven Long has been covering this story, and the background of Jackson's doctor, since "The King of Pop" suddenly died under the most bizarre circumstances.   

Steven Long recently wrote: 

We’ve seen Conrad Murray’s name splashed across the tabloids as being the prime suspect in Michael Jackson’s death. His lawyers, through their newly hired flack vigorously deny the allegations.

 It doesn’t take a cop with the ability to figure out a Rubik’s cube to bring the Houston doc to the top a suspect list for criminal prosecution.  Murray allegedly “found” the star in his room unconscious. You can bet investigators no doubt connected the presence of a doctor in the death room and a patient who we learn was allegedly highly dependent on drugs to the point of begging a nurse practitioner to get somebody to give him Propofol, an operating room anesthetic to help him sleep. LA cops are a lot of things, but they sure aren’t naïve when it comes to the use of narcotics in the high stakes world of rock and roll. The king of pop, with his erratic behavior, was almost certainly near the top of the cop’s conjecture list as a drug user long before his death.

HEAR STEVEN LONG LIVE ON TRUE CRIMES THIS SATURDAY 2pm Pacific!

Also joining us in the Lounge will be Johnny Fratto, The "Paris Hilton of the Mafia."

In the 1982 Texas election for governor, Steven Long asked the incumbent, Bill Clements, a question that changed the state’s history. “Would you appoint a consumer, for example, a housewife, to the Texas Public Utilities Commission?” The governor blundered and answered, “There isn’t a housewife in Texas qualified to serve on the PUC.” He lost the election. 
After closing In Between, Steven Long carved out a career as a feature writer with the Houston Chronicle. One article resulted in the indictment, conviction and disbarment of the late Houston adoption lawyer Leslie Thacker for buying and selling crack babies in several Texas county jails. Another series of investigative stories ultimately resulted in the indictment and conviction of the head librarian of the oldest medical school west of the Mississippi for stealing rare and historic medical texts, some dating to the sixteenth century. He exposed the Texas prison system’s wholesale practice of allowing the use of inmates as subjects for medical residents to hone their skills in cosmetic surgery at a state teaching hospital.
