Dr. Murray to Cops: Where's the Surveillance Video?

7 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Dr. Conrad Murray's legal team has only received 4 minutes of video from the surveillance cameras capturing the last 24 hours of Michael Jackson's life ... TMZ has learned.

Lawyers for Dr. Murray will go to court Wednesday and ask a judge to order authorities to turn over all of the surveillance videos.

Sources connected to Murray tell TMZ ... the only video the LAPD turned over was from around 12:30 AM the day MJ died ... showing Michael returning to the house after his rehearsal.

Sources connected with Murray claim the cops only downloaded 11 minutes of the video.  Murray's lawyers want to see all 24 hours ... particularly who comes in and out of the house in the hours before MJ died.

Now this is interesting. I wonder if/when they show the 24 hour tape it will show how MJ pulled off the biggest magic trick the world has seen?  Thanks for sharing.

That makes me think of the Madonna/Justin Timberlake song that goes..."we only got 4 minutes to save the world".

I'm very interested to see that too...  ;)

These tapes have been talked about since 2009; so, I am pretty inclined to believe that there is something rather significant to these surveillance videos. Will we see Michael on them or not? That's what I want to know.

The 24 hours may not exist.

It depends what the CCTV recorded onto and how it recorded.

A lot of CCTV these days is recorded onto a hard-drive, and if it isnt downloaded in a certain amount of time (say 7 days, or one month)  - it gets wiped over.  Its like a continous loop of recording.

So if the cops only downloaded 11 minutes and didnt download any more from the hard-drive... then it could be lost forever.

By the way:
Murray gets four minutes.
Cops have eleven minutes.

Eleven Minus Four = SEVEN!

There is special discipline forensic data recovery.
Anything that is written to a harddisk is going to stay there for longer than expeted, even if it is erased.
There are nummerous experts and custom software that are able to recover the data even after a hard drive has been formated.
I am sure that if the police has the hard disk, then they have the full 24 hours. No doubt about that!

Very good, you are on the ball.  I have a feeling that  there is not tape. If the taped disappeared, Michael has them for sure. He only left what he wanted them to see. Blessings.

Not if its over-written, they wont.

I undestand your optimism, but if the hard-drive has recorded over itself because the cops didnt download the full 24 hours in time, then it is lost forever.  There is no doubt about that.

And the Murray's lawyers just now realized that they have only 4 min. surveillance video although cops dowloaded 11 min of the video, but legal team wants to see all 24 hours of video.
Is it me or TMZ really lost its coherent presentatiion skills?
If I am not mistaken, Michael is not used to monitor his bedroom. I have read that on documents of child molestation case.
