Murray's Appeal

[applehead250609]

Latest updates:

10/15/13  Letter brief filed.    Plaintiff and Respondent: The People
                                             Attorney: Office of the Attorney General

10/15/13  Letter brief filed.    Defendant and Appellant: Conrad Robert Murray
                                             Attorney: Valerie G. Wass

I take it they've answered the question: "Assuming appellant is released from custody while this appeal is pending,  what effect,  if any,  does his release have upon his challenge to the term of the sentence imposed by the trial court on his conviction.?"

Anyone else think this sounds like paving the way for a huge claim for compensation for 2 years wrongly imprisoned?

Curls, good question! I think that if released the 10-28-13 or after, CM appealed to defend his alleged innocence. Now I wonder. testify this time? I would like to know your version of 06-25-09, maybe the "bomb" that have said, the expose on the appeal ...
Lack little to the 10-28-13, we see that CM takes direction after that day.

@marumjj, my understanding of Appeal Courts is that they don't hear witnesses and/or new testimony (so Murray won't get to drop his bombshell) - a panel of judges/lawyers simply deals with points of law and procedure that may have adversely influenced the outcome of the original trial.

Here's part of an article from back in July (originally posted by iLoveyoumore on page 1 of this thread) about the areas Wass claims were dodgy:

In her latest filing on Wednesday (10Jul13), she claimed jurors should have been allowed to view Jackson's contract with concert promoters AEG Live during the trial in order to understand the pressures the singer faced to perform the 50 shows and consider Murray's argument that the Thriller hitmaker had self-administered the drugs which killed him, even though witnesses had testified during the case that it was the doctor who had administered painkillers and anaesthetics.

Wass writes, "Admission of the contract or evidence of its terms was necessary to show what was at stake for Jackson if he could not meet his contractual obligations, which was pertinent to establish his state of mind which may have explained his conduct on the day he died, and supported the defense theory of the case."

In the documents, Wass also repeated her previous concerns about Judge Michael Pastor's refusal to sequester the jury and ban TV cameras from the courtroom, suggesting the "unprecedented fame of Jackson" and the heavy media coverage ruined any chances of Murray receiving a fair trial.

Maybe Michael really is directing this? Before he "died" he said he wanted to spend more time with film and directing.

Never underestimate the genius of Michael Jackson, my sweet angelic warrior!

The page now makes no mention of a director at all, not even a "former" director. But maybe that's normal when a work is "abandoned" (?). 

(Off-topic, FYI. Don't know if this has ever been mentioned on the forum. I remember looking at the IMDb page for This is It during the last week of October 2009, when the movie was released. It, too, listed Michael Jackson as director. The page also listed Conrad Murray as an actor and listed the film status as ongoing. And again, this was in October 2009. Unfortunately, I took no screen shot, just remember finding it puzzling  :icon_e_confused: ; that, along with what looked to be an elaborate production for a supposedly impromptu documentary.)

Just checked up on Murray's appeal page, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  as I do every so often, and I noticed near the top after 'The People v Murray' it says 'E-BRIEF PROJECT'  I haven't noticed this before. It may of course have been there all along, but I wonder what, if anything, it means.

I checked on Wass and other attorney's cases in 2nd Appellate District on this page: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login .  Of 606 entries,  I found 2 (with another attorney) listed as 'E-Brief Case', but no others, apart from Murray, have this 'E-brief project' description.
 
Looks like Murray's case has been picked to be part of some sort of special 'online project' - not that that comes as any great surprise! Probably means nothing, especially with those other 2 cases, but just thought I'd mention it.

Arguments for Conrad Murray to appeal scheduled in court next month
December 12, 2013



A California court has scheduled arguments next month for Conrad Murray to appeal his involuntary manslaughter conviction. The 2nd District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles set arguments in the case for January 9, 2014.

Former cardiologist Conrad Murray is appealing his 2011 conviction on various grounds. He says a judge excluded jurors from hearing key evidence and should have sequestered jurors on the high-profile case.

The attorney general’s office has said the issues cited by Murray’s lawyers were not errors and are not a basis to give him a new trial.

Murray was convicted of causing Michael Jackson’s death by giving him an overdose of the anesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009.

Murray was released in October after serving nearly two years in jail.
