try to contact john paterakis. meanwhile, helen holton's attorney did put out a statement, saying he believes his client is innocent and thinks that these charges will also be dropped. live at city hall, adam may, wjz eyewitness news. >> thank you very much, adam. and wjz 13 is always on. check with eyewitness news for complete coverage on the city hall probe. for more, log opto wjz.com. -- onto wjz.com. just a short time ago, police wrapped up the search of the las vegas home of michael jackson's personal physician. they are seeking manslaughter charges in the investigation into the singer's death. >> reporter: they had los angeles police officers search the las vegas home and office of dr. conrad murray. it's the latest development in the manslaughter investigation of murray. the private physician who was hired by jackson's concert promoters. and who was with jackson when he died. >> i looked through the items
