"One publisher said that even if Murray were to take full responsibility for the death of Michael Jackson there was no interest. Dr. Murray just isn't an empathetic person and the public doesn't want to hear from him, period," the source says."
That is true, thus far he does come off as unanimously unsympathetic. Even among people who are not MJ fans. The greater part of those in the medical profession are thoroughly appalled by his gross negligence and criminal actions, and almost everyone thinks he belongs in jail, even people who think Michael was partly responsible for what happened. The reason for this is because, obviously, no one wants this to happen to them/their loved ones, and everyone trusts in a doctor at some point in his life, so when evidence arises that a doctor purposely and deliberately betrayed a patient's trust by failing to act in his best interest as per the Hippocratic oath, people are disturbed.
People with at least two brain cells to rub together [that automatically excludes hater trolls, as they clearly have none] can see he's not at all worthy of sympathy, and is most likely a sociopath, since the majority of his woes/complains revolve around him and the way he's feeling. Not a peep regarding how Michael's children may be coping, or even how his own girlfriend and child may be doing. All we've heard from him is that the has the runs.
He's completely failed to present himself in any way that could be construed as favourable, and his lawyers have failed to market him thus as well--the documentary Chernoff and Flanny decided to partake in [Baldy makes up for his lack of luscious hair by not being a complete idiot, it seems, so he steered clear] made complete asses out of everyone involved, but unarguably, Murray took the biggest PR hit of them all (and deservedly so).
I think public stance is we've heard enough from him and nobody really cares anymore. He also loses a huge percentage of the market by not appealing to MJ fans, whom we have seen hold great value when it comes to making or breaking a potential sales success. Seeing the fiasco MSNBC endured when they allied themselves with him is also most likely the reason most publishing companies have turned him down, if what this article claims is true. MSNBC was greatly hit by backlash, some fans boycott them to this day, and nobody wants to risk that just for some maybe/quick/cheap profit from giving Murray a platform upon which to speak. The repercussions far outweigh the potential gain, and any smart company would abstain from taking such a risk..
The fact they're still trying to appeal this case is not surprising. He has a right to do that, although it will most likely not be a successful attempt. His negligence is as clear as morning, and no one outside of lawyers looking to suck out the last bit of publicity they can get from a high-profile case like this would ever even support him--especially not in the medical community, after witnessing Dr. White's career suicide and subsequent humiliation in court.
The tickling bit is the fact that ugly cow Valerie Wass wants to have the same bloody propofol bottle that has been rejected a million times prior to this tested with the Supreme Court's permission--a request that will likely prove to be a giant waste of time for all involved, and will most likely be rejected (again). Honestly, by the time they're done with all these appeal attempts, Murray will come out of prison nice and stretched from the terrible chronic diarrhea, among other things.
I honestly think none of his lawyers care about him at all. All their decisions seem to backfire on him, in the end, and they give him the sh-ttiest advice ever. I think they're just hanging onto him like vultures to a carcass, simply to keep their names in the headlines. Well, the only one I think really cared at one point was Chernoff. But Flanny doesn't seem capable of things like feelings. :3 That seems to be supported by the fact Chernoff saved Murray's unworthy arse from taking the stance, which Flanny really wanted him to do. Sure, it would have been huge news, but it would have gone terribly for Murray, especially if he was up against Walgren.
P.S. I also think we're forgetting the majority of people [especially Americans, the likeliest target audience for these kind of things] don't read books. If they couldn't be bothered to watch an hour-length documentary on a local TV station back when the trial was relevant to the public at large [and not just MJ fans/haters, and/or luscious-haired lawyer aficionados], they surely won't be bothered to pick up a book and, god forbid, read it.
So on that front I think we've got nothing to worry about. If Murray thinks he can jump back from being flat broke by selling books, he must not be keeping up with the current statistics regarding the amount of people who regularly read books... Although, fiction is the second largest selling genre, right behind delirious religious crap, so he may have a chance just yet.
