Conrad Murray speaks out in TV interview

In a TV interview recorded before the verdict, Murray, who did not testify at trial, said he gave Jackson an "inconsequential" amount of the drug.
A coroner found that he died in June 2009 of "acute propofol intoxication".
The Jackson family say the interview, airing on NBC's Today, gives Murray "a platform to shift the blame".
The interview, being shown in two parts on Thursday and Friday morning, forms part of the documentary Michael Jackson and the Doctor: A Fatal Friendship.
The makers of the programme, due to be shown in the US on NBC's sister station MSNBC on Friday and on Channel 4 in the UK - some time next week - began working with Murray in November 2009.
He continued to be filmed while the trial was taking place.
"I think propofol is not recommended to be given in the home setting," Murray said, during the interview.
"But it is not contraindicated."
Murray, who claimed Jackson had been using the anaesthetic long before he met him, said he did not tell paramedics he had given Jackson the drug because it was such a small dose.
"Twenty-five milligrams and the effect's gone - means nothing," he added.
Asked why he mentioned other drugs given to Jackson but not propofol he replied: "Because it had no effect. It was not an issue."
In court, the defence argued that Jackson was a drug addict who caused his own death by giving himself an extra dose of propofol while the cardiologist was out of the room at the star's rented Los Angeles mansion.
Murray told Today's Savannah Guthrie he had not been distracted by phone calls, emails and text messages.
"When I looked at a man who was all night deprived of sleep, who was desperate for sleep and finally is getting some sleep, am I gonna sit over him, sit around him, tug on his feet, do anything unusual to wake him up? No," Murray said
