Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson’s longtime dermatologist and friend, is reportedly responsible for his addictions to Demerol, giving him as many as 51 injections in the months before he died.
According to TMZ, lawyers for Dr. Conrad Murray just filed legal documents claming Klein was fueling Jackson’s drug dependency with scores of Demerol and another powerful narcotic.
According to the documents, in the 3 months before Jackson died, Dr. Klein had given Jackson no less than 51 Demerol injections.
“Due to Mr. Klein's actions, Mr. Jackson became physiologically and psychologically dependent on Demerol,” the documents claim.
Klein had previously denied prescribing any of the dangerous painkillerss which led to Jackson’s death, including Demerol and OxyContin. He went so far as saying that the doctors who did prescribe the drugs are “criminals.”
"I say that anyone who makes someone an addict or gives a person potentially dangerous substances directly to them to use, like propofol is a criminal," Klein told Good Morning America back in 2009. "It becomes nothing more than a manslaughter, or something worse than that."
Now the legal team for Dr. Conrad Murray wants Klein to produce all of his medical records. "Dr. Klein is a relevant and highly material witness to the defense,” the document states.
