Murray said he would reapply for his medical license in California and Nevada, claiming they were suspended ‘voluntarily’ in those two states after his conviction.
“I see no reason why I shouldn’t be able to practise in the U.S,” he said. “I surrendered my licence voluntarily and am confident it will be re-instated in both states.”
Born in the Caribbean island of Grenada, before later moving to Trinidad and Tobago, Murray said he was still able to practise in the Caribbean if he so wished.
“I am a doctor by profession and no one can ever take that title away from me,” said Murray, who it’s claimed was earning $150,000 a month as Jackson’s personal physician at the time of his death.
Jailed for four years, in 2011, after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s death, Murray, 63, says he now has no income of his own and survives with handouts from friends and family.
But he claims he has continued to help many patients on a voluntary basis.
“Since being freed, I have continued to help my patients and many new patients who have come to me because of my reputation,” he said
“They come from across the world; from Spain, Israel, America and the South Pacific. Do I charge them? No. I do not charge for my services. I volunteer to help them and see them through their problems.
“Most are major heart surgery patients. I help them and I help give them peace of mind. How do I benefit? The one thing that has always driven me is the fulfillment of making a difference.
“I am highly skilled and have an unblemished medical record. My career has been impeccable.”
Despite supposedly having no income, Murray splits his time between homes in Southern California and Florida, and lives with partner Nicole Alvarez, who he plans to marry, and their seven-year-old son Chee.
