Despite its role in earning him a four-year prison sentence, Dr. Conrad Murray doesn’t regret for a second filming the now-infamous documentary about his trial.
In said documentary, he said he didn’t regret his actions because he didn’t do anything wrong … a jury disagreed and convicted him of involuntary manslaughter.
The making of the film, which was released after Murray’s conviction but before his sentencing, in the Michael Jackson death trial, infuriated Judge Michael Pastor.
Murray’s lawyers freely admit he needed the money, but the Conrad Murray documentary was made primarily so that the public could hear his side of the story.
Maybe he should’ve tried testifying trial OR sentencing then. Eh, whatever.
The 56-year-old physician told friends and family that he knew he was going to get the maximum sentence, and that the documentary didn’t play a role.
Thus, it didn’t bother him that Pastor lambasted him over the things he said in the film, in particular, trashing MJ and not taking blame for his actions.
Moreover, Murray is “surprisingly upbeat” about the sentence, telling a friend, “I’m just relieved it’s over,” adding, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ll be out soon.”
Too soon, according to Michael’s family.
