Mesereau Disputes Jackson Suicide Claims
The defence attorney who represented MICHAEL JACKSON in the King of Pop's child molestation trial in 2005 has urged the jury members in DR. CONRAD MURRAY's upcoming manslaughter trial not to be swayed by allegations the dead pop star may have killed himself.
Murray stands accused of administering the dose of anaesthetic Propofol which killed the Thriller hitmaker and his lawyers will hit the courtroom on Tuesday (04Jan10), claiming Jackson was responsible for his own death - and may have committed suicide.
But the superstar's former attorney Thomas Mesereau insists that's just a ploy to keep their client from a conviction.
He says, "The defence lawyers have to do something and what they're gonna try and do is reflect attention away from their client and onto Michael Jackson. The reality is Michael Jackson was not suicidal, he was not self-destructive in the way they're trying to say, and hopefully their defence will not succeed.
"I'm sorry that the defence is going to have to bash Michael Jackson to try and divert attention from their guilty client. The reality is he was a nice, kind, decent individual; he wanted to change the world in a positive away... and unfortunately I think the defence is gonna try and attack his character, and hopefully it will not work."

So he was self-destructive in another way? As in planning to hoax his death? It's also sort of suicide, yet not in the way they said...
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."1/3/2011 3:30 PM PST by TMZ Staff
The mega-lawyer who successfully defended Michael Jackson in his molestation case is coming out swinging at Dr. Murray's defense team -- blaming MJ's death squarely on Murray because the singer was "not suicidal."
Thomas Mesereau went on MSNBC today -- and stated, "The defense lawyers have to do something and what they're gonna try and do is reflect attention away from their client and onto Michael Jackson."
He adds, "The reality is Michael Jackson was not suicidal, he was not self-destructive in the way they're trying to say, and hopefully their defense will not succeed."
For the record, Mesereau's "suicidal" statement is not accurate -- because according to our sources, the defense will argue that Michael MAY have accidentally killed himself after trying to self-administer Propofol ... but he was not suicidal.
Perhaps Mesereau's strongest comment -- "I'm sorry that the defense is going to have to bash Michael Jackson to try and divert attention from their guilty client."

For dramatic effect video is always better than the printed word. This way you get the total experience. You hear the emotions and see the body languages.
