Howard Weitzman, the attorney representing John Branca and John McClain, Special Administrators for the Estate of the late superstar Michael Jackson, released a statement Monday following Dr. Conrad Murray’s appearance in court.

“Sadly, today’s events are a painful reminder of Michael’s untimely passing last June 25 and the deep personal loss we continue to share with his fans, his friends, and especially his family and children,” the statement says. “We hope justice will be done. During the years the world was blessed to have known him, Michael chose to use his gifts and artistry to give people hope, to comfort those in need and to spread messages of unity and peace. Because of that legacy he left behind, we believe that in years to come Michael will be remembered far more for the remarkable things he did with his life than for the tragedy of his death.”
