attorney says miura was murdered!

It was reported last week that Kazuyoshi Miura had apparently committed suicide. The Japanese businessman had been extradited back to United States for conspiring to have his wife murdered 27 years ago. Just hours after returning in Los Angeles, he was found dead in his cell. But now, Miura's attorney says his wounds were consistent with a choking and beating: Attorney says Kazuyoshi Miura was killed in L.A. jail.

Celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos hired an independent pathologist to examine the body of his client after the L.A. County coroner's office released it. Geragos said the pathologist found injuries to the middle and lower parts of the back as well as to the larynx. These apparently are not the kind of injuries you get from hanging yourself.

Just when you thought this crazy case had finally come to an end. Of course, you couldn't expect a guy like Geragos to go down that quietly, even after his client dies. After all, this is the defense attorney who represented Michael Jackson, and Scott Peterson. He's in it for the headlines. And he just got another one.
