Dr. Conrad Murray Sues Texas Medical Board For Revoking His Medical License

Conrad Murray, the doctor convicted of killing Michael Jackson, has filed a lawsuit to prevent the revocation of his medical license in Texas.

Murray is serving four years for the involuntary manslaughter of the 50-year-old pop icon. On Monday, he sued the Texas Medical Board in Travis County Court, arguing that he had agreed to an indefinite suspension of his license pending the outcome of the California criminal case and that the conviction is not final because his appeal is pending.

“The board is only going forward on the sole ground that as Murray has been preliminarily convicted of a felony in California, the board may revoke his license,” the nine-page complaint states. “California law states that a conviction is not final until appeals are complete and remittitur is issued form the appellate courts (like a mandate in Texas).” (Parentheses in original.)

Under Texas rules of evidence, a pending appeal renders evidence of a conviction as inadmissible, Murray says.

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals precedent also holds that convictions are not final until appeals are complete, according to the complaint.

“Therefore, there is no purpose for the board moving ahead on October 2, 2012, other than to revoke license which is disallowed by its own rules and outside the mandate of the [Texas] legislature and to obtain a result without the testimony of Murray, who being incarcerated, is unable to attend and participate in the [informal settlement conference] in person to testify,” the complaint states. “The board seeks to move ahead in abrogation of Murray’s Texas and States rights against self-incrimination which keep him from participating.”

The BALLS on this guy! What in the name of Joe Jackson makes you think that ANY state medical board on EARTH would let you keep your license after you done kilt (yes, “kilt”) the Kang?!?!

Sitcho ho a$$ down!
