[size=18pt]Michael Jackson Doctor Can’t Afford Lawyer For Appeal[/size]<br />By celebguy44 on May 20, 2012 | From celebmonster.info <br />Conrad Murray asks judge for a court-appointed attorney to appeal his involuntary manslaughter conviction.  <br />By Gil Kaufman <br /><br />Just weeks after being sent to jail for following a conviction on a felony involuntary manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson, cardiologist Conrad Murray is throwing himself on the mercy of the court.The doctor had been slated to earn up to $150,000 a month to act as Jackson's personal physician before the pop icon's death in June 2009 from an overdose of the Murray-administered surgical anesthetic propofol. But on Tuesday  News reported that Murray filed a notice of appeal in Los Angeles Superior Court in which he claimed that he is "indigent and respectfully requests the appointment of counsel on appeal."Murray, 58, is planning to appeal both his conviction and his sentence, but has not yet filed papers with the California Appeals Court. He had hired two lawyers to handle his manslaughter case, but is now seeking attorneys with appeal experience. One of those former lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan, told E! that [size=14pt]he was shocked at how his client is being treated in jail[/size]."It is crazy and unbelievable how [the sheriffs] are treating" Murray in jail, said Flanagan, who claimed he waited over an hour to see Murray, who was brought out in handcuffs and leg chains. Flanagan was further shocked to see [size=14pt]Murray handcuffed to the table [/size] for their meeting, something the lawyer said he'd never seen before in the case of a low-level, non-violent offender. Charles Peckham, who is handling civil cases against Murray, told the Associated Press that his client is under tight security and isolation that is more intense than other inmates at the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail."[size=14pt]Treating him like Hannibal Lecter is offensive[/size]," said Peckham. "This man who saved lives made a mistake, and they're going to [make] him pay like a mass-murderer." Sheriff's officials defended the tight security, saying it was for Murray's safety<br />

    <br />How exactly does chaining him to the table protect him from the other prisoners?<br /><br />

    <br />that does not make sense! very weird, indeed. notice how press is releasing articles about how C.Murray has bad times at jail..first we heard about his bad health, now we have this article about bad handling with him. It looks like thez want general public to see how he feels bad in prison.

    This is interesting. MJ fans will probably say that Murray deserved that treatment, because he killed Michael. But they don't realize that would be as bad as the behaviour of the MJ haters when he was treated wrongly and accused of something he didn't do. I'm still curious as to how this plays out in the end.

    "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."

    <br />Exactly, angry fans are satisfied now, after knowing how bad times Murray has in jail..there must be some reason for that, we will see hopefully.

    <br /><br />huh this new :icon_e_confused: sure seems like at least some aspects of what is said have already been discussed before. i am always curious when  the same thing shows up over and over again.
