Title: Murray's Appeal
Post by: Andrea on April 22, 2013, 09:10:47 PM
We had a discussion about Murray's appeal on HoaxBook but since HB is still down, we should probably have a thread on here too.

This site displays the updates of Murray's Appellate Court Case.  It has also been the TIAI re-direct for the past 3 months.

http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/dockets.cfm?dist=2&doc_id=1999218&doc_no=B237677

It was updated today:

04/22/2013    Appellant's opening brief.    Defendant and Appellant: Conrad Robert Murray
Attorney: Valerie G. Wass     No further extensions of time will be granted.


This is an article from today, about Murray's ongoing appeal.

Good idea to open this thread, thanks Andrea.

When I saw the update yesterday I wasn't sure what it meant because it doesn't actually say if the brief has been filed, received or whatever does it?

The Washington Post article implies that it has, and that they have seen it. I love this bit:

"The attorney general’s office, representing the prosecution, has 30 days to respond to the appeal. Wass then has another 20 days for her
response."


Plenty of scope for 'extensions of time' in that wouldn't you say?!!

@Shy, Murray's appeal is totally separate from the Katherine v AEG trial, which is due to start by the end of the month, once they've sorted out the jury and other loose ends like the sealing, or not, of certain documents.

Conrad Murray has appealed his conviction of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, more than a year after he filed an official notice saying he would do so.

Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter on Monday, Nov. 7, 2011.
Conrad Murray verdict: Guilty in MJ death
Oct. 3, 2011: Dr. Conrad Murray, charged in Michael Jackson's death, appears in court at his involuntary manslaughter trial.

 

Murray was sentenced to four years in prison -- the maximum punishment -- on Nov. 29, 2011. He is eligible for release in October after serving half his sentence. Murray had on Dec. 2011 filed a legal notice saying he intends to appeal the conviction of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Jackson. He submitted a formal appeal on Monday, April 22.

Jackson died on June 25, 2009 of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and other medications. At the time, he was under Murray's care. Lawyers for Murray, who has since lost his medical license, claim that there is insufficient proof that this is the reason Jackson died and also repeat their claim that the singer may have taken medications while Murray was away from his bedside.



Also on Monday, a jury was selected for a civil trial over Jackson's death. His mother, Katherine Jackson, is suing AEG Live, the promoter of a tour Michael was preparing to begin before he died, for $40 billion. She claims the company pressured her son into rehearsing despite his poor health and also hired Murray. AEG Live denies wrongdoing and says Jackson chose him to be his personal doctor.

Murray has said he will plead the fifth and not answer questions if he is called to testify in the civil trial.

Check out details about the jury, made up of six men and six women.

Juror 1: Woman - She is married, lives in downtown Los Angeles, works as a personal banker for Torrey Pines Bank. She and her spouse, who works at Trader Joe's, have no children. Race is unknown.

Juror 2: Woman - She is of Asian descent and a widow who works as a nurse at a health center.

Juror 3: Man - He is Hispanic, unmarried and lives in west Los Angeles, where he works in a store.

Juror 4: Woman She is an Hispanic, married mother of one adult son. She works for AT&T.

Juror 5: Woman - She lives in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles and works as a software engineer. Race is unknown.

Juror 6: Man - He is a married high school gym teacher who lives in downtown Los Angeles. Race is unknown.

Juror 7: Woman - She is a black mother of three adult children. A fourth is deceased. She works as a clinical research coordinator at UCLA.

Juror 8: Man - He works at a bank. Race is unknown.

Juror 9: Man - He did not specify his profession. Race is unknown.

Juror 10: Man - He is a 61-year-old black man who lives in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles and works as a car mechanic.

Juror 11: Woman - She has conducted cancer research at UCLA. Her husband is attending medical school in Nevada. Race is unknown.

Juror 12: Man - He is an Hispanic married father of three who lives in East Los Angeles and works for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

I am a little bit lost with this CM's appeal, if the court urged to reject CM' s appeal that means he won't be out of jail this October as stated and will meet the four years in prison?? I think everything concerning the hoax is getting worst I don't see it so clear anymore after Wade's claim and this CM' appeal rejection, a setback?? What do you guys think??

I never thought he'd get a chance anyway. It's getting so confusing... but from a hoaxy point of view I'm anticipating CM to speak or sing another tune soon. Maybe this is a step before the next step of causing an "impact of an immediate seismic shock" resulting in "a total and complete debacle" for both sides"  :icon_lol: 

I still think Wade is being paid to set up another type of seismic shock. He either knows or a really desperate stupid guy. Maybe it's been in the works for a while, I find it odd that he so easily skipped town and seems protected - he has enough money behind him.

Conrad Murray - Conrad Murray to leave jail in October
by Bang Showbiz | 27 July 2013

Dr. Conrad Murray will leave prison in October, less than halfway through her four-year sentence for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.


(http://images.contactmusic.com/newsimages/dr_conrad_murray_649732.jpg)


Dr. Conrad Murray will be released from prison on October 28.
The disgraced doctor has been granted early release and will leave Los Angeles County Jail in three months time, having served less than half of his four-year sentence for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.

Murray - who administered the fatal dose of anaesthetic Propofol which killed the King of Pop in June 2009 - was convicted in November 2011 and has spent his sentence in solitary confinement, but with access to a TV and mobile phone.

He has been granted early release for his good conduct behind bars and to ease the burden on the prison system.

A source said: ''He has been a model inmate and the authorities have granted him an early release due to that good behaviour and the overcrowded California jail system.''

However, the decision to release Murray has infuriated the 'Thriller' star's family, including his children Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and 11-year-old Blanket.

Michael's mother Katherine said: ''It is not right I will never be able to see my son again, while his mother can see him.''

A source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''Murray is the killer of Michael in their eyes. He cost them their son and father.

''For him to get out in two years is an insult. They still feel he should have been tried for murder.''

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.
Title: Re: Murray's Appeal
Post by: curls on October 17, 2013, 01:58:07 AM
@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.

 :WTF: :WTF: :WTF:  :LolLolLolLol: !!!!

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, http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/dockets.cfm?dist=2&doc_id=1999218&doc_no=B237677  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: http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/searchResults.cfm?dist=2&search=attorney&start=1&query_attyLastName=wass&query_attyLawFirm= .  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.

@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.

Interestingly, the next stage on from Appeal Court is The Supreme Court, also known as The Court Of Last Resort!!  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0549697/  Episode 7 of course!!

Thanks curls, I'm clear now. In other words fits AEG case, MJ is guilty of his own death.

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

(http://www.legendarymichaeljackson.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/20131212-223116.jpg)

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.

Conrad Murray resurfaces in exclusive photo as Michael Jackson’s former doctor works hard to keep his criminal appeal alive
The petition was the first step for Murray to show he’s not giving up after an appellate court unanimously rejected his criminal appeal in a 68-page ruling last month.


                                                                                (http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1603095.1391623610!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/jacko5n-4-web.jpg)

Michael Jackson’s doctor is taking a hands-on approach to his ongoing criminal appeal and was heartened by a court ruling last Friday, his lawyer told the Daily News.

Dr. Conrad Murray spent multiple nights last week working side-by-side with lawyer Valerie Wass on a petition for re-hearing filed Thursday, Wass said.

The petition was the first step for Murray to show he’s not giving up after an appellate court unanimously rejected his criminal appeal in a 68-page ruling last month.

The court could have summarily denied the rehearing petition outright but instead responded within 24 hours asking the Attorney General’s office to file its response argument by Monday, Wass said.

“Dr. Murray is nowhere near done fighting this conviction. He worked closely with me on this, meticulously going through the opinion page by page,” Wass told The News Tuesday. “He’s determined to continue this appeal as long as he needs to.”
And if the petition ultimately fails, the cardiologist convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 plans to file a follow-up petition for review in the California Supreme Court later this month, she said.

Murray, 60, was the last person to see the King of Pop alive before his overdose death on June 25, 2009.

A coroner report found the “Thriller” singer died from an overdose of the surgery-strength anesthetic propofol.

Prosecutors claimed Murray gave Jackson the drug in an IV drip without proper monitoring.

A jury found him guilty of negligence, and he walked out of jail last October after serving two years of a four-year jail sentence thanks to an early release program for non-violent offenders.
“He has never wavered from what happened that night, and the evidence and phone records fit in perfectly with his account,” Wass said Tuesday.

Murray has maintained that he gave the singer a 25-milligram injection of propofol in the hours before his death and waited at his bedside until the fast-acting effects wore off.

He has claimed Jackson must have woken up while he was out of the room and self-administered the fatal dose with a syringe.

“The court's analysis of many of the issues was flawed, and the court had misstated certain critical facts,” Wass said Tuesday. “They really misunderstood the infusion theory.”

Murray still hopes to practice medicine again and filed a civil lawsuit to regain his medical license in Texas.

He also has a mandatory settlement conference related to his California medical license scheduled for June 9.

If no settlement is reached, a hearing on the proposed revocation of his California license is set to begin July 1.

California high court won't review conviction
Of Michael Jacksons doctor

published April 23, 2014

LOS ANGELES –  The California Supreme Court refused Wednesday to review the involuntary manslaughter conviction of Michael Jackson's doctor, rejecting his lawyer's petition without comment.

The decision by the state's highest court was the latest stop on Dr. Conrad Murray's legal odyssey. A state appeals court upheld his conviction earlier this year and then refused to reconsider its decision.

Attorney Valerie Wass said Murray will take his fight to federal court. "We're greatly disappointed, but we intend to pursue this in federal court," Wass said.

She said she telephoned Murray with the news and, "He said, 'The fight is not over.' "

Authorities said Murray gave Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in 2009 while the singer prepared for a series of comeback concerts.

Murray was convicted in 2011 and served two years in jail. He was released in October because of a change in California law requiring nonviolent offenders to serve their sentences in county jails and as a result of credits for good behavior.

The six-week trial focused on Murray's care of Jackson, including nightly doses of propofol to help the entertainer sleep.

The earlier appellate court decision said, "The evidence demonstrated that Mr. Jackson was a vulnerable victim and that (Murray) was in a position of trust, and that (Murray) violated the trust relationship by breaching standards of professional conduct in numerous respects."

Since his release, Murray has been traveling and spending time with family, "trying to get his life back together." Wass said.

The federal appeal she plans to file will focus on media coverage of the trial and exposure of the unsequestered jury to the Internet, Wass said. Murray has maintained throughout his appeals that the jury should have been sequestered because of the flood of publicity surrounding the case

I've been keeping an eye on Murray's appeals. Having been refused by California Supreme Court he took it to the US Supreme Court. I'm wondering if these docket entries mean he's reached the end of the road. It would seem the US SC has also refused to hear his case.

When an application (or appeal of some case in a lower court) to the Supreme Court is denied, it is called certiorari denied. In fact, it means that the Supreme Court refuses to accept the application or appeal and will not judge on it


It sounds like it is done and over.

All I can say is that this was drawn out since Murray isn't guilty. All of this has to be for someone else, but who?

I hope you receive an answer!

I was thinking the other day that maybe we should start contacting some agencies and see if we could get some answers. After all Murray is out of jail, he has served his time so there are no further investigations going on, right?

If we don't get answers that could indicate there is still some type of investigation going on.
