Michael Jackson estate sends cease and desist letter ordering Conrad Murray to stop discussing King of Pop

Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman wrote that Murray 'shamefully' violated doctor-patient confidentially law when he recently blabbed about the pop star's health in his first interviews since leaving prison.
Michael Jackson's estate has sent a scathing cease and desist letter to Conrad Murray, ordering the doctor to stop discussing his treatment of the King of Pop.
Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman wrote that Murray "shamefully" violated doctor-patient confidentially law when he recently blabbed about Jackson's health in his first interviews since leaving prison.
Murray told the UK's Mail on Sunday that Jackson was incontinent, saying: "I held his penis every night to fit a catheter."
Weitzman claimed in his stern letter that Murray was Jackson's doctor, not his friend, so all of his communications with the "Thriller" singer were presumed confidential.
The lawyer said the expectation of privacy didn't die with Jackson in 2009.
He said California law states the estate is now the "authorized holder" of the privilege and will never authorize interviews.
"It is beyond ironic and cowardly that after electing not to testify before the jury that convicted you, you are not trying to publicly defend your conduct by sharing supposed conversations you had with Michael Jackson and alleged details about Mr. Jackson's medical condition and treatment," Weitzman said in the letter obtained by the Daily News.
Murray, 60, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 and walked out of jail last month after finishing a four year prison sentence in two years due to jail overcrowding.
"If you continue to violate the oath you took when you were a physician and persist in revealing privileged information (much of which appears fabricated) about Michael Jackson, the Estate will take all necessary and permissible legal action," Weitzman wrote.
Weitzman threatened a lawsuit seeking to stop a future memoir and aggressive efforts to block Murray's attempts to regain his medical licenses in Texas and California.
"It's fairly obvious that this letter was written with the intent to release it to the public and intimidate Dr. Murray," said Murray's criminal appellate attorney Valerie Wass, who was not involved in Murray's recent press interviews.
"I find it absurd that the estate is making such strenuous objections, adamantly protesting comments by Dr. Murray when in fact the door to Michael Jackson's medical history was opened widely by the Jackson family during their wrongful death lawsuit against AEG Live," she said Thursday.

That Wass is really an *** with this response. There is clearly a massive difference between a trial proceedings and admitted evidence and what CM is saying! Who says these things? Accusing the MJE of intimidating CM is ludicrous. This letter means STHU or get sued. I hope the MJE sues the crap out of this nut!!

Wass needs to just inform her client - that joke of a human - to shut it down and go away!
He'll need another attorney here in a minute as she is #1 inept and #2 not capable of representing him in a MJE lawsuit (she's an appellate lawyer if you can believe that!)
