Jackson Attorney Says He Warned Family About 'Overmedication'

"I talked to his family about it. I warned them. I said 'Michael is overmedicating' (and that) ... it's all going to break our hearts."

So said Brian Oxman, one of Michael Jackson's attorneys, on CNN just moments ago.

Adding to the ominous charges he first raised last night, Oxman claimed that the King of Pop, who died yesterday, "had overmedication (sic) and it was a serious problem."

Oxman said Jackson was taking painkillers to deal with chronic problems related to old injuries, including a broken leg and fractured vertebrae.

But, asked to say who might have been enabling the overmedication he claims was happening, Oxman would not name names.

"I don't want to make finger-pointed of any kind" until a cause of death is determined, Oxman said.
