Catherine Jackson talks about her feelings toward Conrad Murray
Catherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, says she has mixed feelings about Conrad Murray, the doctor accused of murdering her son.
The famous mother of the most well-known music family in the world says that even after nearly two years since Michael’s death, she still feels grief inside her, and it does not seem that there will be an end to her sorrow and worries.
“Sometimes I think to myself, why do they hold a trial when the maximum sentence waiting for him is four years in prison?”
She is full of motivation to attend every day of the trial, whose start date is May 9. She has not spoken with the accused murderer of her son, who claims he is innocent, although she has seen him a few times in the preliminary hearings.
“I will be in court. But it’s very difficult for me because my son is gone forever, and this man is trying to get out of responsibility and save himself. He has to be punished.”
Catherine says that after Michael’s death, she went to his house to help her children gather their belongings. Then they all left the house forever, heading to Encino. Catherine says that in Michael’s house she found handwritten notes from him.
“His notes were everywhere. On one of them it said... ‘Raise them with love’...”
The support and love of Michael’s fans after his death has been very valuable to Catherine. She especially appreciates the flowers that were sent to her. She says that the feeling she had after receiving the flowers made her agree to have her name used on the flower baskets sold by sendherflowers.com.
“They felt my grief. That meant a lot to me. At that time, I truly needed something like that. I needed to know that the world is with me too—that it shares my grief and is with me in it.”
