Michael Jackson was in a "penniless" in the run up to his last tour and in a lot of debt, Dr Conrad Murray alleged.
"When I was told by AEG that Michael was so penniless that he could not afford the house that he live in, he could not afford toilet paper to
wipe himself, he could not afford popsicles for his children....despite that, I stayed with him because I wanted to help him."
In his first post-prison interview in the UK, Dr Murray, said he had not received "a single dime" of the salary the pop star had promised him and claimed Jackson had been in serious debt prior to his death.
