Carrie Fisher Condemns Dr. Conrad Murray In Michael Jackson Case

Carrie Fisher was introduced to Michael Jackson by her stepmother Elizabeth Taylor before becoming his next-door neighbor. And although Carrie says she was never super close with the pop icon, she did share several nights with him.

"Well, Michael and I got along very well because we had had very weird lives," Carrie told me on the set of "New York Live." "And so when two celebrities hang out, the issue of celebrity is then neutralized."

In her new book Shockaholic, Carrie titled an entire chapter "The Princess and The King" and wrote, "No one but a ridiculously wealthy celebrity could have persuaded a doctor to go against his principles to risk losing his license. So Dr. Murray swapped his reputation in exchange for shackles and the ability to say 'I'm Michael Jackson's doctor.'"

Just a few days before Dr. Murray's guilty verdict was announced, Carrie had already convicted the doctor in her mind. She explained, "I think that you don't give that medication in a home. Michael said give that to me?" Adding with disbelief, "Shoot me."

It would appear as if Carrie neglected to mention that, "doctor shopping," in California is a felony, something MJ was known to do. LE's on this case interviewed 35 doctors to inquire on MJ's drug use during the initial investigation.

I predicted his in-voluntary manslauter. When Mother came to visit me in CA. she liked to sit by the pool at night as in Oregon it's cold. One night she went out to enjoy the warm air while she smoked.
Knowing she can't swim and it's a 8ft deep pool- after 15 minutes I went out to check on her.
So M.J. can't sleep. The injection was dangerous but he could have atleast had someone watch him when he went to the restroom. I've read some feel he was convicted and used as an example for what the surgeons did to his face.
Yes it's wrong what they did to his face- however he didn't die. I'm sure he was left feeling lost. Lots of folks these days have no conscious. People are afraid today to speak truth. I'm not sure if a Plastic Surgeon would have agreed to this in Oregon. From my own experience with Pacific Specialist in W.La- (Dr Howard Krauss) I know based on fact many Docs are deceptive here. He wouldn't even let me have my photos of my eye that I paid for. Sending me e-mail that he'd not stored them. It was only after I threatened Court he found them. I'm an Apt. manager and you must keep records.
Lots of people live here for the love of money, but there are good Docs like Dr Bose who fixed my eye and was a man who kept his word.

Can two celebrities be awkward to each other?

I guess so.

Interesting that Carrie doesn't mention one of her best friends, Dr. Arnold Klein, who was also one of Michael's doctors, and the one who over-prescribed most of his illegal opiates such as Demerol, usually with a fake name. He's culpable as well in Michael's downfall.

Carrie is certainly mad about what happened. Imagine having MJ living next door
