While the news of the search of the Houston office of Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's doctor, came as a surprise to some, it wasn't entirely unexpected, says Houston criminal defense attorney Dan Cogdell. "Often, ‘people of interest' feel that cooperating with investigators will prevent a raid, but that is simply not the case," says Cogdell, who has represented numerous high-profile clients subjected to similar searches. "Law enforcement agencies don't have to tell you in advance what they are going to do, and can basically lie to you about their intentions in many cases. People often find out that while they are operating in good faith, that isn't always reciprocal."
