Conrad Murray’s Voicemail From Prison: “I’m Suffering”
Conrad Murray won’t just sit quietly. Despite the judge’s and prosecutor’s objections, he hasn’t stopped his pleas. Murray, who caused Michael’s death three years ago by injecting propofol and was sentenced to prison a little over a year ago for the crime of involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson, released a voicemail from inside his cell yesterday.
In this message, sent to a friend, he informs him that his hands hurt due to the prison restraints. He cries as he says:
“Good morning, I need help. All night I was busy calling on the phone, I called everyone I knew, but nobody picked up. My right shoulder hurts so much that until 2:30 in the morning I was crying. I can’t use my hands anymore... I can’t use my arms to wash my back. I can’t sleep... It’s very hard... I’m constantly in pain. Could someone please help me? I know I have specific and unbreakable rights. I know I can request help from inside prison according to these rights. I’ve been asking for help for eight months, but what has been done hasn’t been to the desired standard.”
He then begs his friend to go to the Los Angeles sheriff, Baca, and intervene: “I’ve also called my lawyer, but he doesn’t answer. Could someone else call the sheriff (Leroy) Baca and ask him to please take a look at me? Maybe he isn’t aware of what’s happening here (in prison).”
Today, TMZ reporter, Michael Jackson’s defense attorney in the 2005 court case; Thomas Mesereau, was caught off guard on the way to play Murray’s message and ask for his opinion. Mesereau said only one minute after hearing Murray’s voice:
“I can’t even listen to another word. This man is disgusting. This man never took responsibility for the crime he committed against Michael Jackson. He always just criticizes others. He blames Michael Jackson for everything that happened. He wants everyone to feel sorry for him because of the situation he’s in. He caused the death of one of the greatest artists in the history of the world — and, coincidentally, one of the greatest humanitarians in the history of the world too — a good, kind, noble, and remarkable person. He caused his death and never took responsibility for it. He is disgusting. I can’t listen to what he says. I don’t believe any of his words. I saw his statement before the court announced the verdict (murder, November 2011). In my opinion, he blamed Michael Jackson for everything. He doesn’t take responsibility for any of his actions. So I don’t believe a single thing he says.”

Murray had previously requested release from court again. His latest request has recently been rejected once more by the judge. The judge, who described him during the court sessions as a disgrace to the medical community and a threat to the public, opposed his request for release. There is also concern that if Murray is released, he will leave California and evade his sentence. Murray tried to persuade the judge to sign the release order by claiming that he has a young son and that after his release he would live with Nicole Alvarez, his girlfriend and the mother of his child. But Murray has become the father of seven children with five women, and this is seen by prosecutors as evidence that Murray is not a stable person. Murray has lost his job, his medical license has been revoked, and therefore he is not required to remain in California. Also, his history of partying in Las Vegas strip clubs has been revealed to the media. Murray, however, says that he is now notorious and recognized wherever he goes, so there is no way for him to escape. But the opposing theory has a different story: it says Conrad Murray is not a celebrity — he killed one of them — and it is absolutely not acceptable to give him such a title for killing a real star.
On the other hand, Conrad Murray reports that his lawyers are in conflict. During a visit in prison, Michael Flanagan, who defended Murray in court, got into an argument with his other lawyer, Ms. Valerie Wass. These two lawyers had gone to the prison after Murray’s statement was released, in which he said he was weak and in physical pain to meet him. Michael Flanagan was accompanied by his son Ryan, who is also a lawyer. During Flanagan’s conversation with Murray, Valerie Wass arrived, and Flanagan confronted her. Ryan prevented Wass from getting close to Murray, and Flanagan shouted at the lawyer. Now Wass has filed a lawsuit against Ryan and says: “The doctor saw everything. This matter (the fight) must be investigated. He is a witness.”
Flanagan had also been involved in a dispute a year ago after losing the Michael Jackson murder trial and being sentenced, with his other lawyer, Ed Chernoff.
In another report, TMZ has claimed that Conrad Murray did not accept Katherine Jackson’s request to testify against AEG. The news agency wrote:
“Michael Jackson’s mother wants Conrad Murray to testify against the company so it can be proven that the company’s negligence in dealing with Michael’s health situation caused his death.”
Katherine Jackson believes that Conrad Murray was hired by the company, and therefore the company is responsible for her son’s death. Conrad Murray rejected Katherine’s request, and his lawyers are trying to discredit this request. AEG was responsible for organizing Michael’s last tour.
eMJey: We hope this is only a rumor. It’s not an interesting story to hear about the mother of Michael Jackson asking for help from his killer. If Murray valued Michael’s family, children, and fans, he would show his sympathy by accepting his guilt. Katherine Jackson should not seek justice for Michael by turning to such a person.
According to some sources, Conrad Murray spends his days in prison writing his memoirs about Michael Jackson and trying to recount all the events from the final days of Michael Jackson’s life. “He believes people are eager to hear his story.” The question is: if Murray had something important that could clarify the course of the case, why did he avoid speaking in court? He was sentenced to four years in prison a year and two months ago, but perhaps under California’s new law, he could be released after serving two years. One day, Murray will finally come out of his cell, and maybe he will publish his book and blame Michael for his own death, and even arrange a few interviews. Maybe on that day people will have an open ear for his words — or maybe they won’t. But we, like Thomas Mesereau, will not believe a word he says.
