[size=10pt]CONRAD MURRAY[/size]<br />[size=12pt]MJ's Death??[/size]<br />[size=14pt]DON'T BLAME ME![/size]<br /><br />Dr. Conrad Murray is once again speaking out from jail (but not singing this time) -- still proclaiming his innocence in the death of Michael Jackson ... and says he has hopes of practicing medicine again some day. <br /><br />Murray called in to the "Today" show this morning live from jail and said he is sorry that Jackson died, but he still maintains he is in no way responsible for his death. Murray is sticking to his story ... that Jackson administered the fatal dose of propofol himself.<br /><br />The good doctor also said he DIDN'T file his appeal to shorten his prison sentence, but rather so that he can one day restore his medical license and see patients again.<br /><br />Good luck with all that.<br /><br /><br />Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2013/04/26/conrad-murray-michael-jackson-appeal/#ixzz2RZrwThGZ

law professor lori levinson.<br /><br />>> the jackson family will argue aig is responsible for everything conrad murray did. they reminded him they're in charge.<br /><br />>> reporter: murray has not been subpoenaed to testify in the suit against aig though he's on the witness list for both sides. aeg says the company didn't hire murray and had nothing to do with jackson's medical care . murray says he'll likely take the fifth if he's called to testify.<br /><br />>> mike taibbi thank you so much. dr. conrad murray is with us exclusively on the phone from the men's central jail in los angeles . his attorney valerie wasser is here, handling his appeal.<br /><br />>> good morning, savannah.<br /><br />>> dr. murray , this is not about shortening your sentence. you're expected to be out in a few months. as i understand it, this appeal is for you, a chance to clear your name. do you think it will be sufficient to do that and do you expect you should be able to practice medicine again?<br /><br />>> well, i hope that i think my attorney has done an excellent job in her brief and i hope that the court would see that an injustice has occurred at this occasion and if that be the case, i will have my license back and i'll be able to continue practicing medicine to give services to all those who seek it and especially to the underserved.<br /><br />>> in your appeal which i have seen, you blame michael jackson . you blame the jury. you blame the judge, and you blame your lawyers and i wonder if, having reflected on these facts now, you take any personal responsibility for what happened to michael jackson .<br /><br />>> not any responsibility as it relates to his death. i am sorry that i have lost michael as a friend and as a patient. being a doctor almost, such a huge impact on our lives, to have to tell a family member someone has passed away , you could not save them. it's a tremendous loss, so much pain and i have lost a very dear friend and a dear person to me, and it's going to remain with me for the rest of my life but i'm not going to accept responsibility for anything i did not do.<br /><br />>> but doctor, let me push back on that just a little bit. he died from this powerful anesthetic called propofol as you well know. you prescribed it and you administered it. i know your theory is he injected it, however, are you not responsible for bringing the drug into the room and leaving him unattended?<br /><br />>> that, i am not. i met michael jackson with his own stash of medication. i tried to get rid of the propofol from michael jackson . you may not have liked the approach i took but nonetheless, the circumstances were to actually get him away from that agent.<br /><br />>> speaking of the night he died, doctor, in just those actions, you left the room, you left him unattended, and pro to follow on the package labeling says it requires constant monitoring.<br /><br />>> i left the room but i left no propofol in his way he should have used, i did not leave it to michael to have taken his own action and cause his own demise. i did not do that.<br /><br />>> let me let valerie on this.<br /><br />>> jackson was not on a pro to follow drip. he was on a saline drip. he's given him 25 milligrams of propofol .<br /><br />>> that's doctor murray 's contenti contention. there was a larger amount of propofol found in his autopsy.<br /><br />>> correct.<br /><br />>> you don't dispute the fact that propofol was prescribed and michael jackson gained access to it when dr. murray left the room.<br /><br />>> gained access whether it came from dr. murray or his own source has not been established.<br /><br />>> dr. murray , let me ask you what life in jail has been like for you?<br /><br />>> it has been one of my most horrendous experience. i have only survived because of the loving hope and the support that i get from various individuals and especially would like to say my girlfriend, any koes nicole alvarez, never missed a visitation and never not called me on a daily basis and my children and just a bunch of other people who have written to me from all over the world who encourage me.<br /><br />>> do you regret not taking the stand in your own defense?<br /><br />>> i don't know. i do not think that the prosecution had solved or they had proved their case, and i did not see if i took the stand if i would have added anything more. i believe the problem is my attorneys. i believe there was a lot of ineffectiveness. actually there was an obstruction of justice when the prosecutor himself destroyed the evidence in the open courtroom. that was obstruction of justice, and that was unbelievable. that is almost i think impossible to live with.<br /><br />>> dr. conrad murray , we appreciate you getting up early, calling us from your jail cell . we appreciate it, and valerie wass, thank you to you.<br /><br />Video: http://www.today.com/video/today/51673562#51673562<br /><br />

    <br /><br /><br />All abt the 'justice'<br /><br />Yeah ur right Adi it is gettiing obvious. But instead of being obejective and listening / seeing what's happening, millions are seething focused on CM and the 'injustice' of his sentence coming to an end.<br /><br />They have really missed the best!<br /><br /><br /><br />Videos load for me today. Weird!

    murray says he'll likely take the fifth if he's called to testify
    <br /><br /><br />I do not understand this, Murray now speaks of his innocence each time that  what he wants with the media, but you are not interested in saying anything before a court

    Once again, Murray is happy to talk to the media but not in court!  Is it even allowed for prisoners to phone and talk live to TV etc from jail?!

    <br /><br />In my comment I had put forth a perspective.<br /><br />Am I being too focused on Conrad Murray? No.<br />Am I here for Conrad Murray? No.<br />But what is 'justice' for Conrad Murray according to him...when he is proven innocent.<br />When can that happen..when MJ is alive. [ CM did not kill MJ]<br />And when that happens there might be a lot happening related to MJ's justice.<br />Conrad Murray's justice is dependent on MJ's justice.<br /><br />I am not concentrating on the atrocities against CM coming to an end. But I really hope to see that in MJ's case, which is why I'm here.<br />I'm not missing out on the best. I'm really happy I can be a really tiny part of it. We all are.<br /><br /> 8)<br />
    <br /><br />You have completely misunderstood my post.<br /><br />Where I quoted you, the line I wrote underneath was in agreeance. "Yep! It's all about the justice" <br />Unfortunately over Internet you can't detect the tone in my voice the way I want it read.<br /><br />You are responding to my post as though I were being negative to you and it wasn't the case. You also DELETED (when you quoted me) the line where I moved on from you and was speaking to ADI.<br /><br />ADI said its getting so obvious now.<br /><br />My comments to her were agreeing with her statement and pointing out how deader fans are missing the obvious and the "real stuff" because they are still thinking about the 'unjust measley' 4 yr sentence Connie got and is soon going to be released after murdering their idol.<br /><br />Please re-read my post again.<br /><br /><br />Moving on, re: deaders, it's amazing how the obvious just isn't obvious to some. Nor common sense <br /><br /><br />
  • I AM SO SORRY AUSSIE!<br />I hope you are not offended by my tone...i clearly misunderstood you. I thought you were telling that i was missing out on the best and also not really observing the happenings.<br /><br />It's so sad it sometimes gets hard for me to recognise in which tone they are posting.<br /><br />extremely sorry again hon! <br /><br /> :bearhug:
  • Lol, all good dear!<br /><br />ain't it great when things get resolved peacefully ;)<br /><br />Peace x
