Dr. Conrad Murray Documentary Airs in UK; Pretty Much Everyone Bashes Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson is not exactly portrayed glowingly in the new documentary centered on Dr. Conrad Murray. No wonder there is outrage among his family and fans.
The controversial film debuted in the UK last night, just three days after Murray was found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Jackson. One major revelation:
Emphatically, the doctor states that AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips told him before the This Is It tour Michael Jackson "does not have a f**king cent" to his name.
Murray claims Phillips pulled him aside after a meeting about the London concerts and angrily said: "What's this bullshit all about? Listen this guy is next to skid row."
"He's going to be homeless. Nine security guards? Why does he need that? I'm paying for that s**t. I'm paying for the toilet paper he wipes his f**king ass with."
Or so Murray says in the documentary. Phillips took the stand during the manslaughter trial and, under oath, denied that conversation with Murray ever happened.
"Michael Jackson and the Doctor: A Fatal Friendship" also reveals the strategy meetings between Dr. Murray and his two attorneys, Ed Chernoff and J. Michael Flanagan.
During one session, Flanagan's wife, Susan, offers this insight:
"Explain to me a 50-year-old man who sleeps with a baby doll and has pictures of basically infants to 2-year-old children looking at him every night."
Chernoff says, "I think that the media made him appear weirder than he is."
Flanagan: "You gotta be kidding me, he can't be any weirder than he is."
In the documetary, Murray claims Michael Jackson "always had a chamber that was exclusively his. The bedroom that he slept in ... I had to persuade him, eventually to have it cleaned. Because ... one, he peed the bed."
"It did not smell good. It was mildew, and I had to get it clean."
"Who would ever believe that a man his age would still be wetting his bed?" Murray added, noting that it wasn't due to medication, but purely psychological.
The documentary airs in the states, Friday night on MSNBC. Despite the objections of La Toya Jackson and MJ's estate, the network will air it as planned.

I have seen this documentary and far from showing Mj in a bad light it confirms dr. murray as a fake and a phony intent on shifting the blame on verybody but himself. He comes over as shifty and refuses to continue interrogation by the British journalist, who has him well and truly cornered. In one disturbing scene the fake doctor even claims to be in touch with the spirit of Michael Jackson. This man does not come across as a professional but a charlatan who missed his chance for drama school and decided to become a very unprofessional doctor instead.

Please don't hurt Michael & his families no more. Michael has given his love and support as much as possible. Let's leave him alone. God bless his beautiful soul rest in peace and his families living in joy. I don't blame Michael's death all on Dr Murray. Be fair, Dr Murray didn't act as a doctor in a ethic and professionally.

And that's it is it, is it?
You just write someone off because they can't sleep. Michael wasn't taking drugs to hit nightclubs, and impress others -- he was trying to sleep.
Ever thought of asking 'why' he couldn't sleep. No, far easier to sit back and judge a life you've have absolutely no concept of how difficult it was.
Pathetic.

Q: What do you get when you put a liar, a bunch of corporate, promoting jackals, and a frail pop star with a billion dollor catalogue that's been hiked as collaterel in a lock-tight contract together?
A: An "accident" waiting to happen.
Best thing about this scenario of course is that no-one cares because it's Michael Jackson and no-one gives a damn about him anyway right?
The perfect crime; and now with its very own reality show star. You gotta love America. When they fuck a man over, they do it with bells on.

Since Murray had MJ infused with Propafol virtually every night for over 2 months, how would he know if the incontinence weren't because of the anaesthetic? He seems to know little of Prop's side effects, specifically, as well. All those infusions damaged MJ's lungs, it was shown at autopsy.
Dr Murray's bringing up such an issue was uncalled for; to me it reinforces the feeling I've had since the beginning of the trial- that Murray, contrary to liking MJ, actually resented him and had little, if any, respect for him.
Michael loved his children, while Dr Murray ignored his; it seems obvious that because Murray's own father had shown no interest in his own kids, that Murray had a very poor self-image as a child which followed him into adulthood. Same thing goes for relationships with women; look at his choices (and those women who were obviously had the same self-esteem issues). Murray probably was uncomfortable with MJ's obvious devotion to his children- Murray had escaped going
