25 Apr
Summary
- Dr. Conrad Murray, convicted in Michael Jackson's death, opened a medical institute in 2023.
- He now practices in his native country, Trinidad and Tobago, after serving prison time.
- Murray faced license suspensions and revocations in the U.S. before relocating.
Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted in 2011 for his role in Michael Jackson's death, is now practicing medicine in his native country. Following his release from prison after serving nearly two years of a four-year sentence, Murray faced significant challenges in resuming his medical career in the United States, with licenses suspended or revoked in California, Nevada, and Texas.
Despite these setbacks, Murray pursued opportunities to practice medicine. In May 2016, he stated he was providing pro bono consultations in Florida. By May 2023, he established the DCM Medical Institute in El Socorro, San Juan, Trinidad and Tobago. This move followed legal actions against the Medical Board of Trinidad and Tobago in 2018 for refusing his registration fees, which would allow him to practice there. He had previously worked in private medicine at a nursing home in Chaguanas.
Murray has maintained his innocence, asserting he was in the "wrong place at the wrong time" and that he lost "everything" due to an unjust verdict. His efforts to return to the medical field continue in Trinidad and Tobago, though his U.S. licenses remain suspended.
