Los Angeles Criminal Attorney Paul Takakjian Representing Michael Jackson’s Business Manager

Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Paul Takakjian of Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff is representing Tohme Tohme, Michael Jackson’s former business manager, following a judge’s ruling that Tohme must testify in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who is facing manslaughter charges for Jackson’s death.

Providing aggressive and experienced legal counsel is the primary purpose of the legal team at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff, LLP. With more than 30 years of legal experience, partner Paul Takakjian upholds this purpose to the fullest extent every single day. Most recently, Takakjian is offering his experienced counsel to Tohme Tohme, Michael Jackson’s former business manager. Tohme has been called to testify as a witness in the trial against Dr. Conrad Murray (case number SA073164, People v. Conrad Murray), who is being charged with manslaughter in the death of the pop star.

According to an article on CNN.com, Dr. Murray’s lawyers have argued that Tohme is a critical witness for their strategy to prove Jackson gave himself the fatal dose of anesthesia that led to his death on June 25, 2009. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor has agreed to let the subpoena of Tohme stand because he was Jackson’s business manager at the time of his death, though Pastor indicated that he may later consider limiting the subjects on which Tohme would be questioned in the trial.

Dr. Murray’s attorneys indicated that Tohme may shed light on the pressure that was placed on Jackson in the months leading to his death. He was preparing for the 50 shows he was to perform for AED Live in London, starting that July. The defense indicated that Tohme had been responsible for negotiating the deal with AEG.

One of Dr. Murray’s lawyers, Nareg Gourjian, stated that Tohme had, “intimate knowledge of his (Jackson’s) finances, drug use, his habits,” and would therefore be relevant to the case.

  • Interesting and baffling as to why a witness would need legal rep.

    As this interview is one of the few things that must be of Tohme, i'll put a part of that interview:

    Claims Jackson was in good health
    Like others before him, Tohme was caught up in the excitement of Jackson’s world. He traveled with him to London, where they saw the play “Oliver” and were mobbed by fans. “I had never seen fans who loved anyone so much and he loved them just as much,” Tohme said.

    Tohme uses the title “Dr.” and apparently has a medical degree, though there is no record that he has practiced in the United States. He said he was convinced that Jackson was in perfect health the last time he saw him, two days before he died. He said the star kept himself and his children on a healthy diet, never ate red meat, didn’t drink and, as far as he knew, never took drugs.
