Anderson asking about Murray debt and would make him malpractice meds -

Murray says he is not greedy has social conscious. Murray blowing smoke about another dr using propofol at home for daughter.

Wass claims MJ wasn't on a propofol drip ONLY Saline drip. Anderson say What do you want to do?

Murray wants to contribute to dreams and motivate people and continue with his philantrhopic work.. he prays there will be

Murray wants justice and get his med license back. He practiced for 20 yr never had any litigation agaisnt him.

Anderson says Why not testify to help Jackson family? Murray says Michael said i no longer want to be a bank for my family.

OH MY GOD- Murray is singing a song ... holy macanolies.. "I'm so sorry for the laddy, who doesn't have a Daddy..." wtf??

Murray is completely bonkers .. Wass is trying to shut him up - I want to tell the ones who love him what really happend to MJ>

I did the best I could to help Michael.

Discussion with tubin and geragos .. Tubin says Jackson's family been using Michael for money. bums and leeches in his family are liable

in his death too. Anderson says AEG suits may have known MJ was not up to it.

Geragos says last 30 sec should be on Ridiculous list. AEG might try to get THIS interview in. Him talking didnt help the family

Tubin discusses AEG says someone should tell Murray who pays his bills. Jackson family said he was in great shape when he first died but now

when its convenient they are changing their tune. They are asking 40 billion. Geragos says children are great well balanced kids.

Tubin- Vast cases are not overturned on appeal. Dr klien didnt testify .. dont think appeal will be overtured. Geragos agrees.
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

Guys, Murray is contradicting his self like always in my humble opinion.
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

murray Sang yes he just sang
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

This interview was done for his up coming appeal.....nothing more.

There is no other story for him to tell other than a bunch of lies!!!

I told you WASS was going to be there!!!
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

He sang? Did it seem Anderson was tough on him?

I liked what Jeffrey Toobin had to say about Michael and how his family is acting. It's all about the money. It's sick. I want Michael to be left alone.
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

Once again thanks so much Ivy
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

Did it seem Anderson was tough on him?

I liked Anderson Cooper's style. He did challenge Murray multiple times. Twice asked if he felt guilty, a lot of times mentioned Propofol is not a sleep aid, even challenged him when Murray said he left nothing at Michael's reach and Anderson said "so how long you left him alone for him to move around the room, get stuff and self inject"

Thanks. I want people to challenge him and not just believe everything he says like some people could do.
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

Dear Lord, did he really sang?

Oh my God. Just put the tv & Anderson is replaying the song. Something got really worst in Conrad while in prison.

Part 1 of the interview

 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

There's a new article on CNN website re interview with CM--it seems different from what Ivy posted. It's written by A Duke. CM is truly insane and delusional saying he did nothing wrong. However, the article IMO makes it clear what he has to say re a book is regarding PPB--he has stories to tell about the kids. Just guessing but it seems that would be the new info that he could offer in a book. Also what MJ told him in confidence about everything.

I think CM needs to be locked up in a mental ward--he is totally mad as sh...t.
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

I wonder why Wass didn't want Conrad to tell if he was employed by AEG. That has nothing to do with his appeal, right?
 
Re: Conrad Murray will be interviewed by CNN on Tue April 2nd

I just heard it too at the end there. The man is a psycho.
 
Conrad Murray from jail: 'I was in the wrong place at the wrong time'
By Alan Duke, CNN
updated 8:30 PM EDT, Tue April 2, 2013

Conrad Murray from jail: I'm innocent
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Dr. Conrad Murray talks to CNN twice as Jackson v. AEG Live trial starts
Murray: "I did nothing wrong and all I tried to do was to help a friend"
"Prince Jr., Paris and Blanket are like my own kids," Murray says
These are Murray's first interviews since his involuntary manslaughter conviction
For more from Don Lemon's interview with Conrad Murray, watch "Michael Jackson: The Final Days," a CNN documentary that will premiere at 10 p.m. Friday.
Los Angeles (CNN) -- The doctor convicted in Michael Jackson's death says he is a scapegoat who had the bad luck of being "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Dr. Conrad Murray, speaking to CNN by phone from his jail cell, said he "did nothing wrong and all I tried to do was to help a friend who I encountered in a devastated state."
Murray gave CNN two interviews -- one recorded Friday with Don Lemon and a second broadcast live with Anderson Cooper on Tuesday evening. They come as the trial begins in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jackson's children and mother accusing concert promoter AEG Live of the negligent hiring of Murray.
These are his first interviews with a journalist since he was sentenced to four years in prison in November 2011 for an involuntary manslaughter conviction in Michael Jackson's death.
Jackson died on the morning of June 25, 2009, after a long, sleepless night in which Murray used sedatives and propofol to treat his amnesia, according to court testimony in the doctor's criminal trial. It was a practice that Murray had followed most nights in the previous month and other doctors had done for Jackson in past years.
Michael Jackson remembered

Conrad Murray claims innocence on phone
Murray: Just happened to be there at the end
"I have taken the front of the storm for the entire life of a man 50 years old, who has had a monumentally destructive, painful life that has been so damaged it is of huge proportions," Murray told Lemon.
He called himself a scapegoat in Jackson's death, which the coroner ruled was caused by a lethal combination of sedatives and the surgical anesthetic propofol.
"It is in terms so humongous that for 50 years of pain that he (Jackson) has lived and I did not do him for all of that," Murray said. "All of the mishaps that he has encountered in life seem to trickle down on me and I think that is the definition of a scapegoat. Nobody has taken any responsibilities for anything that they may have done to this man but, because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, then here I am."
"You just happened to be there at the end," Lemon said.
"Yes," replied Murray.
Was AEG responsible for hiring Murray? Jackson wrongful death suit begins
"Conrad Murray, as you sit here now in jail, do you believe you are innocent?" Lemon asked.
"Absolutely," Murray said. "No doubt."
"He's never wavered," his lawyer Valerie Wass added.
"Why am I innocent?" Murray continued. "Because I did nothing wrong and all I tried to do was to help a friend who I encountered in a devastated state and I tried to do everything possible to help my friend. I have been called names and who knows what. Nobody else was there at that time and I can say with the effort that I made I could've suffered a cardiac arrest myself. It was not an easy task but I never gave up on my friend -- never did."
Wass then stopped Murray from saying more that might relate to his criminal case, which she is appealing.
Paris Jackson questioned about dad's death in lawsuit
Murray: Michael was my great friend
Murray talked about his relationship with Michael Jackson in the last months.
"I've lost a friend, a great friend, a man who was imperfect like all of us are," he told Lemon. "He has had his dark sides and he has had his good sides and I've known them both."
His role in the friendship was to bring Jackson peace, Murray said.
"But as he left in a state of total absorption of all of the pains he has encountered and all of the stories that haven't been told that was important to him to either regurgitate, ruminate, whatever he wanted -- to think about an opportunity to release himself and I gave him that opportunity," Murray said. "There was an opportunity where Michael finally found an opportunity to tell someone almost anything and knew he was protected. I gave him that. I gave him that peace."
Alleged 'smoking gun' e-mail revealed
Murray: I love Michael's children
Murray asked to speak about Jackson's children, with whom he said he had "a beautiful, blessed relationship—an extremely good one."
"Prince Jr., Paris and Blanket are like my own kids," he said. "They are my children. I love those children. I worry about them."
"There are things I can share about the children, but I don't think I will go into that, not in this forum," he said. "But at the same time I hope the children are doing well, that they are looked after very well."
He then took aim at other members of the Jackson family, without calling names.
"I am pretty sure there are a number of bottom dwellers right now who are sucking up for anything they can, but I do hope the children will not fall victim of that," Murray said.
Michael Jackson's assistant accuses promoter
Murray: No anger
Murray said he holds no anger toward anyone, however.
"I can certainly be upset and say, 'How did this happen to me?' but I am not doing that," he said. "I think I take the high road in this. My friendship was good and genuine and for everything it is worth I want to remember it that way."
"What do you want people to know about Conrad Murray?" Lemon asked.
"I want to be known as just a simple human being who came from the most humblest of backgrounds, who has worked his way through life through difficult times and good times," he said. "I have been an ambitious man, but the ambitions have not been in any way directed to self. Self is only one part. I spent my life to make man better, to improve the lives of everyone I encounter."
He said he would always be a free man "because of my spirituality, my beliefs. I have carried the weight of this world on my shoulder and I know that I cannot carry that by myself so I was also carried by my heavenly father."
Murray: Jail's no day at the beach
He spoke from a cell he described "a small space where there is no penetration of sunlight, but I can say there is room for improvement in everything. Certainly not like being in the sand or being in Bora Bora, but I am hoping for enduring the task as best that I can."
His expected release date is in late October, after he serves half his sentence, unless the sheriff decides to free him earlier under jail overcrowding guidelines.

PLEASE CM ask yourself--HOW did this happen to you??? Maybe b/c you wanted 5 MILLION dollars???? Maybe b/c you did NOT know what you were doing?? Maybe b/c you were irresponsible, careless, negligent?? Maybe? Maybe b/c you are to blame for the death of your "great friend"??

NO..................NO....................NO!!

Using someone else's kids for monitary gain???????

That's just WRONG!!!
 
T-Mez says GOOD case against AEG and will win in his opinion!
 
Why would this sick quack or anybody else think he should get his medical license back. Listen to him lie and BS, he knows this interview is a fail, A. Cooper only nudged him a few times and put him on the ropes, that's why he started singing as a distraction.
 
The look on Anderson Cooper's face when Murray was SINGING was priceless, like, "WTF is he DOING?" Murray surely must be completely NUTS!

T-Mez said he thinks Katherine has a strong case, and used the example of the emails from AEG. He also said that her lawyer is excellent.
 
I wish T-Mez wasn't pro Randy Jackson's point of view--seems like this is the line he is taking here. Did he say WHY the case was strong? How can the emails mean so much--they are just emails about the press conference and getting MJ to rehearsals--how does that spell AEG negligence in supervising CM?
 
I haven't seen the singing part yet the youtube vid posted is only part of the interview not the full one! But, how crazy he is for doin that omg smh.

He's trying not to make waves with the family. That's all.
 
So if CM did not give MJ more than the 25 mg shot propofol, as he says in this interview, how come there was enough propofol in him for major surgery??? He was watching the whole time and only went away for a couple of minutes--tell me, CM, how did it happen?

This guy is so delusional and really it disturbs me that he is getting interviewed by Anderson Cooper AND Don Lemmon.
