Prosecutor: Conrad Murray’s extramarital relationships with women must be revealed

During a previous court hearing, the lawyers for the accused in Michael Jackson’s involuntary manslaughter case asked that their client Conrad Murray’s extramarital relationships with women—and his membership in strip-clubs for women—should not be brought up before the jury. But two prosecutors, David Walgren and Deborah Brazil, wrote in their brief yesterday that the details of Murray’s relationships with three women he was chatting with at the moment of Michael’s death should be brought up in court. “This shows the level of disregard and distraction Dr. Murray had when he was responsible for Mr. Jackson’s life.” They want to present to the court a $500 check that Murray had written to Sid Ending, a bar waitress and his girlfriend, after returning from a night out. They also want to present a $1,100 check that Murray left behind with a phone number on it for the nude dancer Michelle Bla at the Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas. “The details of his relationships contradict what he told the police. He didn’t tell us anything about his phone conversations on the day of Jackson’s death.” The prosecutor believes that the description of Murray’s relationships with the three women he was involved with—Sid Ending, Michelle Bla, and Bridget Morgan—shows his lack of attention to his patient’s condition and a violation of medical standards. The prosecutor also says that Murray, by telling them that he was Michael’s doctor, revealed his patient’s secret to all three women and violated medical confidentiality. “Dr. Murray’s intention was to impress them through his connection to Michael Jackson.” Telecommunications records show that Murray made 11 phone calls from his phone at exactly the time he should have been taking care of Michael Jackson.
