Las Vegas NowJackson MD Appears in Vegas Court on Child Support Case
LAS VEGAS, Nv -- Dr. Conrad Murray appeared in Clark County Family Court today because of delinquent child support payments. Murray is the physician being investigated in Michael Jackson's death.
In a surprise move, the child's mother agreed to not force him to pay the $14,000 in back payments. Going forth, Murray will pay $1,003 a month.
Murray appeared Monday for a Clark County Family Court hearing to explain why he's fallen more than $14,000 behind in support payments to a California woman and her son. Murray's attorney, Christopher Aaron, said his client is unable to get work.
When the hearing was over, city marshals blocked the media from leaving the courtroom. They let Murray get to his car and leave before they allowed media out of the courtroom.
“They were making a decision that they needed to protect the safety of others in the building. They wanted to maintain a level of decorum throughout the building,” said court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer.
Aaron says Murray had to close his medical practice and move due to threats following Jackson's death June 25.
