By Neil Shous, Esq.

In the continuing case against Dr. Conrad Murray?the man accused of killing superstar Michael Jackson when he allegedly acted ?without due caution or circumspection??the defense is zeroing in on a broken syringe that was discovered under Jackson?s deathbed.

Murray?s defense team is asking the FBI to deliver a first-generation fingerprint from the syringe in order to determine who used and broke it.
