MJ's Kids on Conrad Murray: Best Doctor Ever?

MJ's Kids on Conrad Murray: Best Doctor Ever?

Last fall, we reported that Michael Jackson's children may be asked to testify on behalf of Dr. Conrad Murray, as the embattled physician's lawyers seek to establish that the late, great King of Pop had longstanding drug addictions.

While that says little about Murray's actual care, Jackson's kids apparently thought highly of him in that regard too, because their famous father did.

The children refused to believe that their dad died of a heart attack in June 2009, since MJ raved that Dr. Conrad Murray was the best doctor on Earth.

For what it's worth, Michael and the kids loved Murray.

Jackson's former nanny, Grace Rwaramba, has described his addictions in detail, and spoke with LAPD investigators about how Dr. Murray became a "regular" around the house when the singer lived in Vegas, visiting at least twice a week.

Grace Rwaramba said Michael would constantly praise Murray in front of the kids, and that's why after he died, the kids would say, "There's no way daddy could have died of a heart attack because Dr. Conrad Murray is the best doctor in the whole world."


Grace Rwaramba also said Michael first met Conrad Murray  through a member of MJ's security team.

As she explains it, Jackson felt he could trust Conrad Murray in large part because the security guy claimed he had some sort of mysterious leverage over the doctor.

Grace Rwaramba offered no further explanation about the mysterious leverage, but like everything else related to Michael Jackson, truth is often stranger than fiction.

On an unrelated, but equally peculiar note, Grace Rwaramba says on a family trip to Florida, the kids called 911 when they discovered MJ "passed out" in their hotel.

It's unclear when the incident took place or what caused it.

Hole in Michael Jackson Death Timeline May Be Smoking Gun Against Dr. Conrad Murray

The prosecution commenced outlining its case against Dr. Conrad Murray during his preliminary hearing this week and suffice it to say, they're doing a good job.

From phone records to witnesses, nothing seems to line up well for the doc to beat the rap on involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.

Today's bombshell could be a smoking gun as far as disproving Murray's version of events that fateful day in June 25. All courtesy of his girlfriend too.

PHONING IT IN: Did Dr. Murray dial 911 when he said he did?

 Hole in Michael Jackson Death Timeline May Be Smoking Gun Against Dr. Conrad Murray

A girlfriend of Dr. Conrad Murray at the time of Jackson's death established that he waited around 25 minutes to call for help after noticing a lifeless MJ.

Sade Anding, who was in Houston the day MJ died, says she got a call from Murray at around 12:30 p.m. Phone records show it was actually 11:51 a.m.

That difference is big, because the 911 call wasn't made until 12:21 p.m.

If Conrad Murray did indeed realize MJ was in distress at 11:55 a.m., there was a long delay in sounding the alarm. It looks like he did realize it that early, too.

Sade says Conrad Murray was asking her how she was doing and she talked about her day. She spoke for a little bit, then realized Conrad Murray wasn't on the phone.

Sade then said she heard commotion, as if the phone was in his pocket, and heard "coughing and voices." Sade estimates the call lasted five minutes.

The other fun fact resulting from this? That Murray was likely two-timing Nicole Alvarez, who investigators have said was also his girlfriend at the time!

Conrad Murray's defense team is more or less sitting the preliminary hearing out. There's no way a judge will throw the case out, so a jury trial awaits next.

They've elected not to play their hand until then in a bit of a strategic move, letting the prosecution lay out its evidence now virtually unabated. (THG)

So far, the evidence has been compelling. Stay tuned.
