murray. and i'll remind you of an e-mail from the aeg live co-ceo paul gongaware. we want to remind murray that it's aeg, not mj, michael jackson, who is paying his salary. we want to remind him what is expected of hip him. now what did that e-mail mean? what was expected of conrad murray, and is it true that it was aeg paying conrad murray directly, not michael jackson? >> first of all, i would like to point out that conrad murray never received a dime for caring for michael jackson. he took care of him for two months and was not paid a dime. the contract was supposed to be retroactive to may 1st and he still has not been paid a dime for his care of jackson. >> but he was supposed to be paid. he signed an agreement prepared by aeg which said aeg would pay him. he signed it. >> so he was going to be paid. the reason they haven't paid since -- obviously he was paid to take care of michael jackson. and michael jackson died in his care. so -- >> isn't a doctor paid if you render services for two

murray and dr. murray signed it. in law, the -- whether or not there's an agreement is very much affected by who drafts the document. they sent that document to him. that's the document they wanted him to sign. the document said that they were going to employ him, they were going to pay him and other terms and conditions. they also sent e-mails to each other confirming that they had employed dr. murray. i think to try to wiggle out now and say that michael jackson employed him is going to backfire. >> but they didn't sign it. they may have drafted it, pushed it, but didn't end up signing it. is there not a lot of value to that ultimate signature? >> no, there isn't. because in law you can have an oral agreement or a written agreement and that oral agreement can be confirmed by various writings and documents that concern whether or not there was an understanding. the fact that they had agreed to pay him, the fact that they sent him an agreement to sign with all of the conditions they wanted, the fact that he signed it

blame lies, conrad murray, the doctor who administers propofol. but in the wrongful death lawsuit the jacksons argue that the blame lies with the concert promoter who signed the checks to pay conrad murray. >> who was conrad murray, who is in jail for killing michael jackson, who was he working for? the king of pop or the promoter, aeg live? that's the central issue. >> aeg contends that murray was hired by michael jackson and not them. and the company had no way of knowing that the doctor would prescribe a fatal overdose. but the jackson family lawyer said that the promoter knew that jackson was physically and mentally weak. this footage from a rehearsal for his tour was taken the day before he dies and included in "this is it" in it the 50-year-old jackson appears to be performing well. but behind the seas his lawyers said his reliance on prescription drugs and pain medication were widely known and the lawyers told the jury that dr. murray had a conflict of interest, so deeply in debt he may have been more concerned about his paycheck than his p

murray. and dr. murray doesn't have any assets. who, then, to go to? aeg, you have to go under the assumption that he was working for aeg. and i agree with paul. i don't think it makes a lot of difference if dr. murray testifies because dr. murray may say aeg was my boss but aeg, as you said in that special, didn't pay him a dime, didn't have an executed contract and didn't act in accordance with an employer at that time. it wouldn't have kicked in until the tour. bottom line, i do think it's about the money. >> you bring up a very good point when you talk about the billions of dollars, $40 billion. that's a lot of money. here's what they contend, though, jim. they're saying he would have made money from these concerts, probably would have had hit records and gone on to vegas to have a very lucrative career in vegas and possibly get -- i don't think he would have gotten close to $40 billion. but he certainly could have made into the billions. but michael jackson was a big spender. his estate, as you know, jim, is in the black now. certainly was not in

murray himself. i think that -- >> right. >> when you look at it altogether they have a strong case defending itself. >> mark, sunny makes the case how to explain the e-mail away. that's why she's a good lawyer. can they explain it away this they'll point to the interview dr. murray gave police telling detectives, i'm michael jackson's employee, not aeg live. that's my understanding. >> to which brian pannish the lawyer for the family is going to say, yeah, of course that's what he said because he was talking to the cops. he ended up getting convicted. the fascinating thing about this case is that the prosecution of conrad murray and the conviction i think does nothing but help the family in terms of recovering against aeg. everything he says is now going to be filtered through the fact that he was convicted of involuntarily manslaughter and that they were the ones aeg paying his salary. they were the ones who was saying you have to -- you have to make sure this guy gets up there. we have a lot of mo

conrad murray himself. he had a history of drug addiction and abuse, and it was his own fault that he died. >> jean, just the fact that we have a guilty verdict in a criminal trial already, you know, that's pretty powerful stuff going into a civil trial you would think. tell play in heavily? >> sure it is. sure. aeg is going to rely upon that. of course you're talking about the involuntary manslaughter conviction of conrad murray. they are going to see that breaks the link there. they have no civil responsibility at all for the death of michael jackson. they will blame conrad murray and the personal responsibility of michael jackson who they say will hire -- did hire conrad murray. >> all right. jean cassar as and miguel marquez -- jean casarez and miguel marquez, thanks for the insight as we wait for hearings to begin. by the way, dr. conrad murray will tell his side of the story in his first television interview live from jail. it's an "a.c. 360" exclusive beginning tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. fa

conrad murray. how complicated will this be to seat a jury that doesn't have a -- individual jurors that already don't have preconceived notions about this case? >> well, you're not going to find jurors that don't have preconceived notions about this case, quite frankly. i mean, you certainly don't want a juror who never heard of michael jackson. you don't want a juror who never heard of conrad murray, that would be a juror that lived under a rock. >> what are the questions they're going to ask to narrow the field? >> sure, you know, i think miguel pointed out that a lot of these questions are about prescription drugs because that is going to be front and center. the question that is going to be most important for this jury is knowing everything that you know, can you put that aside and decide fairly on the evidence and just the evidence? and i firmly believe in the jury system. i'm certain they'll be able to find 12 jurors that feel they can decide this fairly, honorably and honestly. >> is it fair

but michael insisted it be conrad murray. the question here is who actually hired him and then who actually was paying him. well, the answer to the second question, fred, is nobody ever paid him and there was never -- >> he never got paid a dime. >> not a dime. he was supposed to make $150,000 a month. can you imagine. and he never made a dime. >> well what happened there? >> well, michael kept insisting apparently that it was aeg who was supposed to pay him and aeg said well we haven't signed a contract and michael this is the one you wanted, you pay him. there was some internal squabbling going on. in california though, a verbal agreement is pretty solid and aeg had written up a contract for conrad murray but it just wasn't quite signed yet. >> so that there is no proof of payment then, might that mean that there's some real difficulty for the jack some estate to be able to say that aeg was in any way complicit? >> this was a case that was about this big when it first started. then the judge whittled down all the charges. n

aeg will content that murray was called by michael jackson. murray could be called to testify. he reportedly will take the fifth, and you mentioned the strip club debate. over whether or not murray's strip club visit can be entered into the trial as evidence. >> shepard: this is no small matter. the jack sewn family wants bills of dollars. >> they want to recover everything they believe michael jackson would have made had he lived, and they point out things like, the rolling stones are in their 70s and they are still touring. aeg will go after michael jackson's, which. he was accusedded of molesting young boys. he showed up for court in blue pajamas. he had a monkey who lived in a bubble and their theme is that michael jackson did exactly what michael jackson wanted to do. michael jackson's oldest kid, paris, may be called to testify. his mother, brother and sister were set neglect front row during opening statements. the opening statement from the jackson family attorneys will begin right after lunch, and then the aeg lawyers will have their chance about two and a half hours.

that murray actually tried to wean him off of it. murray says his intentions were good. take a listen, john. >> but do you feel any guilt over the death of michael jackson? >> i'm an innocent man. i am extremely sorry that my [ inaudible ] it's a tremendous loss for me. it's a burden i've been carrying for the longest while. and it's a burden i will carry for an indefinite period of time. i became a sounding board for michael. he regurgitated everything that was bad in his past and everything that was dark. and i have been the absorbent capacity for that. >> in that same refrain, john, dr. murray actually called himself a scapegoat for all of the things that michael jackson had endured over his life. john? >> there was a lot about this interview that was interesting, shannon, but there's one thing that a lot of people are talking about this morning and that's that really just bizarre moment when murray broke out into song. >> it was bizarre that the doctor treating the king of pop actually broke out into song himself. he was using this knock by nat king cole to actually

murray and you used your control over dr. murray to pressure him into taking unnecessary and excessive risk with his patient michael jackson leading to michael jackson's death. >> aeg live dismisses the claim and says jackson chose murray as his personal doctor and jackson, not aeg live paid and supervised him. >> there was never a contract. if you look at the draft explicitly, that he was chosen by michael jackson, to be there at michael jackson's behest. that he would care for michael jackson alone, it was only being done because michael jackson asked for it. michael jackson was the only person that could get rid of him at will. >> we me hear for the first time from michael jackson's oldest children. 16-year-old prince michael and 15-year-old paris who are expected to testify about jackson's last days along with his mother. the prosecutors want to call murray as a witness, but he says he would plead the fifth in order. >> his silence may be deafening in the sense that the jury may conclude from his silence that maybe there'

the family claims aeg was negligent in hiring murray. well murray told anderson, he will testify, and then he broke out in into this nat king cole song, the little boy that santa claus forgot. ♪ he's the little boy that santa claus forgot ♪ ♪ and goodness knows he did not want a lot ♪ ♪ he wrote a note to santa for some crayons and a toy ♪ ♪ it broke his little heart when he found santa hadn't come ♪ >> murray said he sang the song because both he and jackson both experienced pain in their lives. john? >> shannon you can see the look on anderson's face there. the same look that's been on our face all morning. pretty bizarre. >> what's going on there? shannon travis our thanks to you. >> hmm. >> -- like he is the victim of all of this. or he is the one who's been left behind in all of this and i mean it's really remarkable. >> i think it's amazing he talked. he talked. >> interesting to hear someone from behind bars what their thoughts are about the crime they've been convicted of. >> yep. >> especially when there's a civi

where is the murray plan? >> murray budge quote increase that spending by just 1.5%. again, much closer do the ryan end of the spectrum. ryan budge quote add no new revenues while the progressive would increase by 14%. murray plan. increase in revenue by just 2.3% which falls closer to the ryan end of the scale. speci thank you for making that graph work. i want to set that up because it seems to me that the -- what's been most plus traiting with the budget conversation since 2010 is the way the conversation has been anchored and i thought that was -- this is nothing against patty murray who i think is quite good senator and murray budge set not a bad document. it is to show what the parameters of the debate are right now and in which the ryan budget is a full day story. granted that's the house majority caucus and paul ryan was a -- vp candidate and keith ellison was not on the ticket. the congressional progressive caucus simply does not have the same power in the house that the tea party caucus has. they are in the minority. at the same time, it does seem to me like
