Quotes on the Conrad Murray case:

“This trial could end up being a trial of medical practice,” he said. “The question is what discretion does a doctor have to treat a patient, and if a doctor makes a mistake, is it a crime?”

“Probably the next most attention after this case was when I was representing Britney and we went to trial. But there were never photographers at my office and Channel 4 trucks parked outside my house waiting to see where I was going that day.”
