Conrad Murray will plead his right to silence to avoid speaking at a lawsuit over Michael Jackson's wrongful death.
Although the shamed doctor has been called to take the stand at Jackson's mother Katherine's civil case against AEG Live - which accuses the company of being responsible for negligently hiring Murray to care for Michael - he will not answer questions because the responses could affect his appeal, according to TMZ.
The medic has already served a year and a half in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter following Jackson's death, but his lawyer Valerie Wass is set to file documents saying she is appealing his conviction.
Her documents argue whatever Murray says in Katherine's lawsuit could be used against him in future appeals and plead the Fifth Amendment, which gives Murray the right to stay silent.
Jackson's son, Prince Michael, is expected to give evidence on conversations he had with his father about the concert promoter.
