Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's Doctor, Resumes Medical Practice in Trinidad and Tobago After Conviction and Prison Term Dr. Conrad Murray, the cardiologist convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, has reopened a medical institute in Trinidad and Tobago nearly a decade after his conviction. The case, which drew global attention, has shaped Murray’s life and career, leading him to rebuild his professional identity abroad despite ongoing legal and licensing challenges. Murray’s relationship with Jackson began in 2006 when the singer, seeking treatment for his daughter Paris Jackson, was introduced to the doctor by a member of his entourage. The two formed a friendship, and by 2009, Jackson had hired Murray as his personal physician for his This Is It world tour. According to NBC News, Murray was paid $150,000 monthly for the role, though he faced financial difficulties, including foreclosure on his Las Vegas home. Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009, occurred after he suffered acute Propofol intoxication, which led to cardiac arrest. Murray, who claimed he administered the anesthetic at Jackson’s request, was charged with involuntary manslaughter. The prosecution argued that Murray acted with gross negligence by failing to monitor Jackson properly and delaying emergency care. Despite his defense team’s assertion that Jackson self-administered the drug, Murray was found guilty in November 2011. The conviction led to a four-year prison sentence, but Murray was released in 2013 after serving nearly two years, with his attorney attributing the shortened term to credit for time served rather than good behavior. His legal battle continued, as he sought to reinstate his medical licenses in California, Texas, and Nevada.#michael_jackson #conrad_murray #trinidad_and_tobago #this_is_it_world_tour #dc_m_medical_institute
