Speaking to the press for the first time since serving two years for involuntary manslaughter, Murray claimed he still speaks with Jackson beyond the grave and insists the singer’s death was an accident. But in an interview with the Aussie edition of “60 Minutes,” the doc wouldn’t address the accusations made by Robson and others.
In an extraordinary TV moment, journo Liz Hayes asked: “Do you think he was a pedophile?”
Looking stressed, Murray paused for 15 seconds before dodging the topic: “I’m not prepared to answer that question, not now. And I tell you the reason why – because my interview with you is candid and honest, and I will not make up or fabricate anything.”
But Murray — who netted an estimated $40,000 for the interview — did share some details about Jackson.
“Michael has a huge dark shadow. Michael slept with dolls,” he said. “Is that normal? No, it’s not normal, but if you understood the history of Michael as a child and the things that he has encountered in life and you’re willing to listen, you probably wouldn’t judge him.”
