Michael Jackson doctor Conrad Murray desires he had testified
As fans and family marked the third anniversary of Michael Jackson's death on Monday, one among Conrad Murray's lawyers said the convicted doctor desires now that he had taken the stand in his own behalf.
Murray began serving a four-year jail term in November when a jury found him guilty of involuntary manslaughter within the singer's death. two of his lawyers visited Murray on Monday at the los angeles County jail where he's incarcerated, reports Reuters.
J. Michael Flanagan said the doctor was "adapting fairly well for a person who is serving time and who is really innocent."
During the trial, Murray's attorneys denied he was guilty of criminal negligence, yet the physician never took the witness stand in his own defense.
"Murray now realizes that he ought to have testified," Flanagan said, adding that there were numerous nuances within the case that Murray alone, as the only person who was with Jackson within the last hours of his life, might enlighten the jury. Lawyers are acting on an attractiveness, and Flanagan expects Murray to serve no over two years of his term.
"Now he says that the most important mistake he created within the trial of the case wasn't testifying," Flanagan said. "We had such a big amount of gaps within the case that needed to be stuffed, that would only be provided by Dr. Murray."
