<br /><br />Dr. Conrad Murray has just filed legal docs asking a judge to release him from jail pending appeal.<br /><br />Murray claims in his legal docs he has a legitimate basis to appeal his manslaughter conviction. Among the grounds for appeal -- "improper exclusion of defense evidence and witnesses that resulted in violating the defendant's State and constitutional rights to due process, to present a defense and to the effective assistance of counsel."<br /><br />Murray's lawyer also says, "He has exhausted virtually all of his available resources."<br /><br />Murray is asking to be released on no bail pending the appeal.<br /><br />If released, Murray says he plans to live with his baby mama Nicole Alvarez -- and would be willing to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet.<br /><br />Murray says he would also seek employment to support his children -- though it's unclear what work that would entail ... considering his medical license has been unceremoniously revoked.<br /><br />To illustrate his dire circumstances behind bars, Murray's lawyer says the ex-doctor is housed under "maximum security" conditions -- isolated in a solitary cell, and escorted around the jail facility with his hands chained to his waist. <br />
