STAGE TUBE: Conrad Murray Discusses Death of Michael Jackson on This Morning's TODAY

This morning's TODAY show on NBC aired exclusive interview with TODAY's Savannah Guthrie and Dr. Conrad Murray, who  discussed the singer's dependency on propofol, and recounts the day the King of Pop died.  

Tonight, there will be a more detailed interview on MSNBC with Conrad Murray that has created controversy amon the  executors of Michael Jackson's estate.  The special, Michael Jackson AND THE DOCTOR: A Fatal Friendship, is scheduled to air tonight. The show documents Murray, Jackson's physician, who was just convicted in the case of the singer's death. Conrad chose not to take the stand during the trial. In the documentary, he breaks his silence to reveal personal details of his relationship with Michael Jackson, Murray's role within the star's family life, the intense pressures that Jackson felt leading up to his tour and the events of the fateful day that led to Jackson's death on June 25, 2009.

October Films spent two years gaining exclusive access to Dr. Conrad Murray and his defense team, led by Ed Chernoff, a Houston-based defense lawyer, and J. Michael Flanagan, a Los Angeles-based defense lawyer. In a series of very personal interviews, Murray discusses in detail Jackson's fragile health and mental state, yet unstoppable dedication to creating a successful world tour. The documentary gained access into the closed-door meetings with Dr. Murray's defense team both before and during the trial, giving a look into their strategy and how they pieced the case together.

In a letter to executives at NBC, lawyers for the Jackson estate expressed anger over the upcoming show which gives Murray the opportunity to blame Jackson for his own death. They have demanded that the network refrain from airing the program which is scheduled to premiere on MSNBC tonight at 10 PM ET and again on Sunday, November 13 at 9 PM ET.
