Jackson Doc: I Can't Afford Child Support
(AP)
The doctor being investigated in Michael Jackson's death says he can't afford child support because he was forced to close his Nevada office after physical threats against him and his staff.
A family court in Las Vegas has set a Nov. 16 hearing to consider a hearing master's recommendation that Dr. Conrad Murray be arrested for not showing up to court earlier this month. Murray missed a hearing to explain $13,000 in unpaid child support to a California woman.
