Dr. Murray to Appear in Court Today

Posted Nov 16th 2009 12:00PM by TMZ Staff

Dr. MurrayUPDATE 10:43 AM PT: Dr. Murray has arrived at court.

Dr. Conrad Murray will appear in court today ... asking a judge to let him off the hook in his child support mess. His excuse -- he's broke ... so TMZ has learned.

Dr. Murray is on the hot seat in Las Vegas for not paying child support in California ... he's more than $13,000 behind in support. Authorities in California went to Nevada -- where Murray lives -- asking to enforce the judgment.

The Nevada judge ordered Dr. Murray to pay and scheduled a court hearing for today.

We're told Dr. Murray, along with his lawyer, Chris Aaron, will show at 11:30 AM PT. Dr. Murray will ask the judge to allow him to pay a minimal amount -- $100. Aaron tells TMZ Murray has not been able to get a job since Michael Jackson died and has no money. Aaron says Dr. Murray is not running from his obligation -- he has full intention of paying.

Stay tuned ...

6. I don't think the Nevada judge is going to buy Murray's argument-- as the DA's office (I think) said last month. Nevada's justice is swift. Hopefully they can get Murray behind bars until California gets its case together.

As for the comment above from Ms. Lesiner-- until the article TMZ posted over the weekend, I didn't even know who that man was. There is no need, ms. lesiner, to be so disparaging to others to gain support or sympathy for another. There is enough love to go around. My prayers are with Mr. Lesiner and his family.

9. Oh Really? Let him off the hook? Now he is broke, right now? what about what he's been living off of for 5 months now? Then he must have been broke about 4 weeks ago as well when he didn't show up and then his attorney waited until the last day to file something saying he wanted to pay the least amount. I swear! This idiot thinks he walks on water or something! Let him off the hook? He has to be kidding! Ever since we have known about this loser who thinks with his Johnson more often than not; he has skated off with every excuse and lied, lied, lied! He probably lied well enough when he was arrested for abuse as well. What are the odds? He has an excuse for everything! Lower than Low. And to think he's going to say he's not guilty of what he did to Michael because as his own attorney said in print Michael injected the Propofol himself, Uh Hu. Just who does he think he is? I'd like to knock the ugly right off him.

12. It's so obvious. Nothing will happen with the Murray... in this case and in the case of Michael.

13. Seems odd a Dr who was making 100k a month from MK is broke, I find it very hard to believe he has not made any investments or has any property that he could re-fi to provide for his [7 kids...] the last being born to a porn / stripper....this man sounds like a class act.....I say throw him in jail and wait to be tried for murder.
