HollywoodNews.com: Michael Jackson’s accused killer, Dr. Conrad Murray, may not be convicted so easily.
That’s what Jackson’s former defense lawyer, Thomas Mesereau, suggests in an interview that’s buried in a new book.
The interview is with, of all people, Judge Larry Seidlin, the “crying judge” who made a fool of himself when he presided over the Anna Nicole Smith inquest in Florida. Not satisfied with his two minutes of fame, Seidlin has “published” a “book” called “The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith.”
I’ll skip Seidlin’s sad efforts to get Mesereau to praise him. Certainly, Mesereau slyly ignores Seidlin’s request for compliments. But what Mesereau, a top notch criminal defense lawyer, does say might be of interest. It’s particularly noteworthy since he liked Michael Jackson a lot, and fought hard for his acquittal in 2005.

Anna Nicole Smith Judge -- It Was 'Foul Play'
The judge who decided where Anna Nicole Smith would be buried has written a new book claiming someone is guilty of manslaughter in her death, but he went even further with TMZ, calling Anna's death "a potential murder case."
Former judge Larry Seidlin, who authored "The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith," tells TMZ, there is no way the Seminole County Sheriff's Department was sophisticated enough to properly investigate Anna's death. As Seidlin put it, "They can tell you how to get to Elm Street or the public library, but this case was too much for them."
Seidlin says, "I think there was foul play and it should be investigated by an independent agency."
Seidlin claims Anna died under "highly unusual circumstances." As he put it, "She never left her room. She checked into room 607 at the Hard Rock and never left.

The retired judge who oversaw the Anna Nicole Smith burial trial is urging police to reopen investigations into the star's death, calling the tragedy grounds for "a potential murder case". Former Fort Lauderdale, Florida judge Larry Seidlin has revealed he isn't satisfied with the Seminole Indian Police Department's investigation of Smith's February 2007 death, which was ruled an accidental overdose.
In a new book, titled "The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith", he claims the former Playboy model died under "highly unusual circumstances"; and he believes someone is guilty of manslaughter. Seidlin does not say who he believes should be considered a suspect, but he is highly critical of enablers of Smith's drug use, writing, "I think enablers should be punished. How about keeping her off drugs while she was alive?"
The retired judge also calls for investigations into the death of Smith's son, Daniel Smith, to be reopened. The 20 year old...

Seidlin presided over the six-day televised hearing into the fate of Smith's body, and ruled it could be buried in the Bahamas.
