Conrad Murray: Michael Jackson’s kids have been ‘brainwashed’

Paris Jackson has been fairly forthright in her criticism of Dr. Conrad Murray’s tell-all book about her late father, Michael.

When it was published in July, she tweeted: “The fact that people are actually listening to and believing a cold blooded murderer is honestly beyond me.”

But Murray — who was convicted in 2011 not of murder, but of involuntary manslaughter for his part in Michael’s 2009 death — tells Page Six that 18-year-old Paris is only angry about the book because her brain isn’t sufficiently “developed” to properly understand the situation. And he claims that Paris and her brothers, Prince Michael and Blanket, have been “brainwashed” against him by the superstar’s family.

“[Paris] is a child. She’s a young adult,” Murray told us. “She’s been tainted. They’ve trained her to be dishonest. I’m not responsible for that.”

The physician, who maintains his innocence in the tome, “This Is It!,” and details his time with the “Thriller” singer, adds of Paris, “You can be 18, but if you’re tainted with the wrong thoughts, sometimes it depends on how strong one’s mind is. She may be a different person when she passes 25 and she really is mature and her frontal lobes and faculties are truly developed with her own judgment, and she clearly may have a different impression.”
