Paging Dr. Conrad Murray. Who's calling? Why, it's the entire world. We'd like to know if you killed Michael Jackson. Ah, I see, you're not taking phone calls. Well, when you decided to stop pissing yourself in a corner somewhere, why don't you come talk to us.
Dr. Conrad Murray called it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: He signed on as Michael Jackson's personal physician in May for a six-figure monthly salary and agreed to accompany him for the entertainer's much-hyped London comeback concerts.For those wondering, Dr. Murray is currently sitting on the bathroom floor in a Motel 6 out in the Nevada desert. He is curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth, repeating, "I'm not going to jail. I'm not going to jail." Every once and a while he'll stop, flush a bag of pills down the toilet and change to the next track on his copy of Thriller. He turns it up loud so he can't hear himself sobbing.Now, with Jackson dead, the Las Vegas cardiologist has vanished from public view and his future is unclear as police investigators unravel the details of Jackson's complicated medical history and extensive drug use... Authorities are awaiting toxicology results and other tests being conducted by the coroner to determine a cause of death.
Murray declined an interview request through his lawyer's office. His lawyers say that although his car was impounded by investigators, he is not a suspect, and police credit the doctor with providing helpful information during a three-hour interview.
"Dr. Murray didn't prescribe or administer anything that should have killed Michael Jackson," one of his attorneys, Edward Chernoff, said in a statement. (AP)
