The last interview of Dr. Conrad Murray. Michael Jackson bodyguard: Conrad Murray told me to get rid of the drugs. Did Conrad Murray win?

Many people spend their entire lives in the shadows. In the shadow of great musicians, scientists, inventors. But sometimes they get the opportunity to become famous, but this glory has a negative connotation. So, for example, Conrad Murray became famous. This man was the personal attending physician of the "king" of pop, Michael Jackson. It was Murray who was accused of the unintentional murder of the musician and convicted for it. Today, however, Murray is free. And he plans to publish a book about his work for the benefit of the musician. Is it good?

background

Millions of fans around the world still cannot believe that Michael Jackson is gone. His songs have gained immortality. They inspire, they captivate. Michael's style will stay with us forever. It is not surprising that the fans did not believe for a moment that the idol passed away without outside help. After all, he was not old, and he made grandiose plans for the future. His personal attending physician Conrad Murray, who was found guilty of killing the famous patient, stood in his way. Perhaps this is one of the few cases when the audience greeted the guilty verdict with tears of joy. After the trial, there were no doubts that Jackson was addicted to drugs. The negligent doctor was to blame. The jury deliberated for more than nine hours, as Murray's lawyer was very persuasive and persistently accused Jackson of self-administering a lethal injection. However, justice prevailed, and the court ruled that the doctor was guilty of an overdose of Propofol, which led to the death of the patient. The injected sleeping pills made him fall into an eternal sleep. One of the main evidence at the trial was photographs from the pathologist's laboratory, which show numerous traces of injections. Immediately after the verdict was announced, Conrad Murray was arrested and sentenced to 4 years in prison. It is also expected that he will be deprived of his license to practice medicine.

Why is he free?

When the verdict was announced, Judge Michael Pastor was outraged by the fact that Conrad Murray never showed remorse and did not speak at the trial.

But two years later, the doctor was released. Furious fans of the singer were waiting for him under the gates of the prison, wanting to return the physician back to jail, but this outcome was prevented by the district sheriff, who took the ex-cardiologist through the back door.

Why was Murray released early? This question was answered by the sheriff's press secretary, who explained that early release became possible due to the convict's solid work experience and the presence of a positive reference from the prison authorities. In it, the doctor was called a positive and calm prisoner. The singer's relatives were horrified by the news of the doctor's release. In their opinion, the "killer doctor" cannot be trusted with the treatment of other people, and this is exactly what the ex-medical doctor intends to achieve.

Without a license

In 2011, Dr. Murray's license was revoked in Texas, Nevada, and California. Today, however, attorney Chris Peckham filed an appeal with the Texas Supreme Court to restore his client's license. Peckham explains his actions by the fact that without the desire to help people, Murray would not have tried to return to work. At the same time, the lawyer calls the client a leading specialist, a good doctor and a caring person that patients need. However, it is quite obvious that without the leniency of a judge of the Supreme Court of California, it will be extremely difficult to restore a license in this state.

Some of Murray's clients came out in support of their doctor. In particular, 89-year-old Eliza Robertson, who underwent heart bypass surgery at the Murray Clinic, gave an extensive interview. She calls her doctor a savior and prays for his health. And the released physician himself believes that he can continue his practice, because after the conclusion he learns to live anew with God's help and achieve success.

His words

Conrad Murray talks about Michael Jackson often and with pleasure, but not one of his interviews is distinguished by respect for the musician. His words seem rude to the singer's family, because Murray is not shy about revealing intimate details from Michael's life. Why not, because now his former patient will not be able to refute the slander! Murray continues to maintain his own innocence and maintains that Jackson could well have committed suicide. According to this man, the "king" of pop music really had no reason to live on. What can await in the future of a person who does not see joy in intimacy, is afraid of people and has a secret passion for small children?! And today Murray confidently calls himself the closest and most devoted friend of Jackson. According to him, they did not have forbidden topics, all secrets were shared. However, today Conrad Murray is happy to reveal all the "secrets" of Jackson, which, in theory, as a friend should have kept. And in one of the interviews, he uttered a phrase that reminded many of Bulgakov's novel "The Master and Margarita" and the dialogue between Yeshua and Pilate - "They will mention him, they will remember me." Conrad himself repeatedly said to Michael that he was a clairvoyant and knew that for the rest of his life their names would be inseparable. According to Murray, Jackson is a suicidal man who used his own stash of sleeping pills to inject.

Were they family?

Dr. Conrad Murray recalls his time with Jackson as his happiest time. After all, he found a friend who was so lonely, who told the doctor about his pain and suffering. According to Murray, Jackson finally felt he could trust anyone other than his own children. The doctor says he's become the Jackson family. In his interviews, he does not repent a bit, but continues to call himself innocent. In prison, Conrad Murray spent two years in solitary confinement and all this time he was thinking about the original idea of writing a book. Of course, the focus of the story will be his main patient. One statement about such a book caused a resonance among fans of the singer and haters of the ex-cardiologist. At the same time, Conrad Murray has enough supporters, because, despite the disgrace in society, he has charm and self-confidence. Some call it bombast, but consider it even a plus for a physician who lost more than two million dollars a year along with his license.

greed

Conrad Murray wrote a book about Michael Jackson, and many call it a book of revelations. But fans believe that this is a direct mockery of the idol. After all, Murray wrote about the personal secrets of the singer, his passions and weaknesses. All the data given in the book are very unpleasant and even insulting, but, alas, no one can protest them. Murray described the reaction of Michael's children to his death in the book. According to the doctor, it was he who broke the news to the family. Michael's daughter Paris screamed that she didn't want to be an orphan. Murray assures that Paris came to him and said that she believed in his innocence.

Basic moments

Conrad Murray in the book describes the horror that Jackson experienced while preparing for the show This Is It, his struggle with pressure and the moment when Michael seemed broken to him. It will seem surprising to many, but at the mention of Jackson, the doctor's eyes fill with tears. Maybe he's a little remorseful? At the same time, repentance does not prevent the doctor from talking about Jackson's children and claiming that he is not their biological father. Allegedly, Michael himself said that he never slept with Debbie Rose, his legal wife, but asked her to bear children from close friends and colleagues, in order to then adopt newborns. Despite such a loud statement, Murray did not name names, saying that he would take this secret with him to the grave.

Did Conrad Murray win?

The book about Michael Jackson definitely made a buzz, because it contains a huge number of shocking statements. Moreover, the ex-doctor named his creation the same way as the last tour of Jackson was called. And at the same time, he claims that he wrote the book not for the sake of money, but at the personal request of his hero. In it, Murray talks about the fact that Jackson fell in love with little Emma Watson, who then just played in Harry Potter. Allegedly, the singer even wanted to marry an aspiring actress, and Emma was his second choice after his own goddaughter, Harriet Lester. Obviously, Murray's book with such juicy stories will not disappear from store shelves!

Murray was born in 1953, in Grenada (Grenada); for a long time he lived in Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad and Tobago), but in the 60s of the XX century he nevertheless moved to the States. In 1989, Conrad entered the Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee (Nashville, Tennessee); however, he never received a license from the American Council. For a time, Murray ran his own firm; in 1992 it went bankrupt.

Cardiologist Conrad Murray began working with Jackson back in May 2009 - he was found by agents of AEG Live, the company that handled Michael's London concerts. It is not known exactly when Murray and Jackson first met. Some sources claim that Conrad treated Michael's cold back in 2008, in Las Vegas; others say Conrad has been working with the Jackson kids as far back as 2006. In any case, it was Jackson who demanded that Conrad accompany him on his trip to London - it was assumed that Murray would receive $ 150,000 a month for this; however, the contract was never completed.

Murray became the center of attention of the general public - albeit against his will - after the death of Jackson. Michael died of a heart attack at his home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California on June 25, 2009. Conrad said he found Jackson in one of the rooms; the singer was not breathing, but he had a pulse, although weak. Michael tried to save the doctors of the local medical center, but they failed.

Painkillers were initially thought to be the cause of the singer's death; Later, however, the police became interested in the drugs that Jackson took for insomnia - in particular, propofol. This anesthetic has previously led to heart attacks - due to its extremely strong effect, it should be taken only under the supervision of experienced physicians.

The doctor spoke to the police immediately after Jackson's death; two days later, Murray was again summoned to the station for a longer interrogation. On June 26, Conrad's car was confiscated - it was assumed that they would search for illegal drugs in it; however, five days later the car was returned to the doctor.

On June 30, nurse Cherilyn Lee, Michael's personal nutritionist, revealed that the singer had asked her for a dose of propofol back in May. Sherilyn refused, although Jackson assured her of the complete safety of this medicine. Previously, Michael complained to Lee about being extremely unwell - Sherilyn even advised him to go to the hospital.

Well-known African-American public figure Jesse Jackson (Jesse Jackson) - a close friend of the family of Michael - said that Murray has long caused certain concerns among Michael's relatives. In the course of the police investigation, it became clear that there were certain grounds for these fears. On June 22nd, police ransacked Conrad's office, seizing a computer, two hard drives, and a number of official documents. Already on the 27th, anonymous sources told the press that a day before Jackson's death, Murray wrote out a prescription for propofol. The doctor's lawyers flatly refused to comment on these "nonsensical rumors"; a day later, however, Murray's house was searched. Gradually, Conrad became the prime suspect in the case of Jackson's death.

On August 28, 2009, the county coroner announced that Jackson had been killed by a certain combination of drugs - shortly before his death, he took propofol, lorazepam and midazolam. The detectives' attention was again attracted by Michael's personal doctor. On February 8, 2010, Murray pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and was released on $75,000 bail. Shortly thereafter, the California Medical Board removed Conrad's ability to prescribe strong sedatives.

Best of the day

The scheduled hearing began; The first, of course, was the spokesman for the prosecution. Their new version said that the singer was dead before the arrival of the doctors - and Dr. Conrad purposefully misled them. It is assumed that Jackson's bodyguard helped him in this. From the testimony of the singer's producer, Kenneth Ortega, Murray has long demonstrated an excessive desire to manage all aspects of the singer's life - as his attending physician.

Jackson's personal assistant, Michael Amir Williams, spoke next at the trial. According to Williams, already in the hospital, Murray tried to convince him to return to Michael's house and remove the remains of propofol from there. After him, the already mentioned bodyguard of Jackson, Faheem Muhammad, spoke in court; he recounted the actions Conrad had taken - and hadn't taken - before the medics arrived. Apparently, Murray demonstrated blatant lack of professionalism - he could not even give Michael artificial respiration. Another bodyguard - Alberto Alvarez (Alberto Alvarez) - Konrad asked to hide all the vials that were in Jackson's room.

The main sensation of the process - at least to the current moment - was the testimony of an ambulance doctor. According to him, Jackson was dead long before he arrived - and probably long before Murray even called an ambulance. Later, representatives of the local telephone company spoke in court - and from their report it became clear that Conrad first contacted a number of acquaintances - his own and Jackson - and only then deigned to call an ambulance. Cross-examination helped establish that Murray contacted the doctors at least 25 minutes after he realized that his ward had died.

Conrad himself managed to speak before the court. His version has also undergone significant changes - now Murray insists that Jackson himself took a lethal dose of propofol and thus committed suicide.

On June 25, 2009, the legendary King of Pop Michael Jackson died. At the center of the singer's death scandal was his personal doctor, Conrad Murray, who pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter.

1. Michael Jackson was physically exhausted, so it was especially difficult for him to carry out exhausting rehearsals during his 50-day tour, timed to coincide with his return.

In 2011, for the manslaughter of legendary singer Michael Jackson, he was recently released from a California state prison ahead of schedule. The killer doctor gave his first interview to the British newspaper The Mail On Sunday, where he revealed the incredible secrets of the Jackson family.

Recall that two years ago the whole world was shocked by the trial of ex-doctor and best friend of Michael Jackson Conrad Murray. The doctor was accused of deliberately injecting the sick singer with doses of the drug propofol, which acts as an anesthetic and sleeping pill, in the summer of 2009. Jackson, 50, died on June 25, 2009 of a propofol overdose and a subsequent heart attack. A thorough investigation began, and two years later it was Murray who was found guilty of the death of the King of Pop.

Conrad Murray was convicted of manslaughter for four years, but due to overcrowding in California prisons, he was released after only a couple of years. The other day, Murray gave his first interview after leaving behind bars to the British newspaper The Mail On Sunday. The ex-doctor continues to insist on his complete innocence.

“Michael Jackson was a drug addict and accidentally committed suicide. I'm sure he woke up on June 25, 2009, reached into his personal locker, pulled out a stash of propofol because he was in pain from a hip injury, and injected the drug too quickly into his vein,” Murray told The Mail On. Sunday. “That's why Michael had a heart attack, which led, to everyone's grief, to death. My assistants and I discovered it too late. Not a day went by that I didn't regret it. But I'm not responsible for Michael Jackson's death."

Murray intends to seek the annulment of his criminal record and the recognition of his complete innocence in order to get back his license to practice medicine. Meanwhile, The Mail On Sunday journalists did not fail to ask the killer doctor, as the singer's most trusted person, whether Jackson's children (Prince Michael and Paris, Blanket born from a surrogate mother) are adopted, and whether Jackson's second wife Debbie Rowe is really their mother. This question, we recall, has been worrying the foreign press for more than a year.

"Michael is not the biological father of Debbie Rowe's children, but they are her children," Conrad Murray confirmed the rumors. - He never slept with her, although she was his legal wife. Michael asked her to bear children from his close friends and colleagues and initially intended to adopt all the babies born - to "appropriate" her children for himself. However, Paris, Blanket and Prince Michael are unaware of who their real fathers are - they are three different people. I know their names, but I will take this secret with me to the grave.”

the website is shocked by the unexpected confession of Jackson's killer. Are Michael Jackson's children only half-brothers and sisters to each other? We've already heard Murray's pleas for clemency due to his alleged "complete innocence," but the new sensational details of Michael Jackson's personal life have stunned everyone. By the way, the singer's ex-doctor, who was too frank, also hinted at Jackson's homosexuality - from his interview with The Mail On Sunday it follows that "Michael could not directly talk to me about this, but I realized that he had the appropriate experience, and rather big" .

Do you believe all the confessions of the criminal - the killer of Michael Jackson?
