But now the estate of Michael Jackson has slapped Conrad Murray with a threatening legal letter, ordering the doctor to stop talking about the late pop star.
The angry ‘cease and desist’ letter demands that the Thriller singer’s former doctor stop giving interviews to media, or face legal action, reports RadarOnline.com.
Shut up: Doctor Conrad Murray has been warned by
the estate of Michael Jackson to 'stop talking' about the Thriller
star, or face legal action, following a recent media tour
said Jackson attorney Howard Weitzman in the letter dated November 26.
The letter also calls Murray ‘cowardly’ for not taking the stand in the involuntary manslaughter trial.
During the trial in 2011, Murray was sentenced to four years in imprisonment for involuntary manslaughter after he gave Michael Jackson the powerful surgical anesthetic drug propofol, believed to be the cause of his death.

on June 25, 2009.
In the letter, Weitzman writes, ‘Your interviews about Mr. Jackson’s personal life, health, and recent stories about the medical treatment you supposedly provided him as a ‘friend,’ disclose precisely the type of information that the physician-patient privilege is designed to protect.’
The Estate says it will sue Conrad Murray if he continues to talk, and will advise any medical board where he may try to get his medical license reinstated that he’s breached physician-patient privilege.
Murray’s medical licenses in California and Nevada had already been suspended following his arrest, and the State of Texas officially revoked Murray's license in August. The doctor has stated that he does wish to return to practicing medicine.
Conrad Murray was released from the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail in October 2013, two years after he was convicted. He has since embarked on a media tour, speaking openly about treating Jackson.
He told the Mail on Sunday, 'No, I didn't kill Michael. He did it himself... with a massive overdose using his own stash'. In the compelling exclusive interview, Murray revealed for the first time about his intimate friendship with Jackson, saying, ‘you want to know how close we were? I held his penis every night to fit a catheter because he was incontinent at night.’
The estate has spoken: Michael Jackson's
