According to TMZ, Dr. Conrad Murray filed legal documents stating that his manslaughter conviction should be overturned, on the grounds that the judge should of allowed him to proved that the late Michael Jackson was so stressed from his finanical woes that he led him to his death. Stating that MJ recklessly rolled the dice by self-administering a fatal dose of Propofol because of the stress he had.
Murray is responding to the D.A.'s claims that he should stay in jail pending appeal because the grounds for challenging the conviction are bogus.
Murray takes a number of arguments, one being the most interesting, "Financial Condition of Michael Jackson." Murray's Lawyers put it this way, "Mr. Jackson was in debt approximately $440 million and desperately needed to fulfill a contractual commitment at the O2 arena in London."
The lawyers continue with, "He was on the verge of losing his entire estate to foreclosure. The pressure to fight through his insomnia, to rehearse and be the entertainer he was in his earlier years was overwhelming."
And then end it off with, "His motivation and resulting desperation were relevant to show a likelihood or reason to act in a manner inconsistent with good judgment."
The lawyers believe that there was an error with the judge to exclude evidence of MJ's financial struggles.
