Conrad Murray was released from jail after serving half of a 4-year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter in the death of 2009 Michael Jackson a few weeks ago and he has since broken his silence in interviews. Katherine Jackson and her lawyers are particularly peeved about this, and they’ve let the former doctor know.
The mother of the late King of Pop and her lawyers believe that Murray is further trashing the Jackson name for money. He told Daily Mail that Jackson was a “drug addict” who basically killed himself.
“Murray has refused to go under the OATH KNIFE and his attempt to exploit Michael are despicable and disgusting,” Jackson’s lawyer told TMZ.
Valerie Wass, Murray’s lawyer, has responded by saying "You and members of your client's family have been bad-mouthing my client for a long time. I don't blame him for talking, especially after ... you tried to portray him as an awful person."
In an interview, Murray said he and Jackson “loved each other like brothers.”
