Jackson's Doctor Says He Was a Friend, Cooperates in Investigation

Michael Jackson's personal doctor, whose role in the singer's final hours has been the subject of intense speculation, spoke with Los Angeles police Saturday as the doctor's attorney affirmed his innocence.

Attorneys representing Dr. Conrad Murray released a statement Saturday that the doctor is cooperating with authorities. The statement also said that Murray considers himself to be a friend of Michael Jackson and is very distraught over his death.

Murray, a Texas cardiologist who also is licensed to practice medicine in California and Nevada, was hired by Jackson's concert promoter to oversee the singer's daily care leading up to a highly anticipated series of shows in London.

William Stradley, a member of the law firm representing Murray, told the Associated Press that the doctor is a witness, not a target of investigators.
