Conrad Murray asks judge for a court-appointed attorney to appeal his involuntary manslaughter conviction.
By Gil Kaufman
<P>Just weeks after being sent to jail for four years following a conviction on a felony involuntary manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson, cardiologist Conrad Murray is throwing himself on the mercy of the court.</P><P>The doctor had been slated to earn up to $150,000 a month to act as Jackson's personal physician before the pop icon's death in June 2009 from an overdose of the Murray-administered surgical anesthetic propofol. But on Tuesday E! News reported that Murray filed a notice of appeal in Los Angeles Superior Court in which he claimed that he is "indigent and respectfully requests the appointment of counsel on appeal."</P><P>Murray, 58, is planning to appeal both his conviction and his sentence, but has not yet filed papers with the California Appeals Court. He had hired two lawyers to handle his manslaughter case, but is now seeking attorneys with appeal experience. One of those former lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan, told E! that he was shocked at how his client is being treated in jail.</P><P>"It is crazy and unbelievable how [the sheriffs] are treating" Murray in jail, said Flanagan, who claimed he waited over an hour to see Murray, who was brought out in handcuffs and leg chains. Flanagan was further shocked to see Murray handcuffed to the table for their meeting, something the lawyer said he'd never seen before in the case of a low-level, non-violent offender.</P><P>Charles Peckham, who is handling civil cases against Murray, told the Associated Press that his client is under tight security and isolation that is more intense than other inmates at the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail.</P><P>"Treating him like Hannibal Lecter is offensive," said Peckham. "This man who saved lives made a mistake, and they're going to [make] him pay like a mass-murderer." Sheriff's officials defended the tight security, saying it was for Murray's safety.</p>

EDM fans worldwide know Moguai as one of the most diverse and prolific music-makers on deadmau5's Mau5trap label, an epicenter of EDM creativity.
MTV News caught up with the German DJ recently, and he gave us all the details on his latest album, MPire, and on his synth-centric collaboration with Tommy Trash called "In N' Out," including their revved up re-edit that's available on iTunes and is hovering high up on the Beatport charts.
"We did [the track] three and a half years ago in Germany. I know him only from touring of Australia, and in Germany or Europe nobody knew him at that time," Moguai told MTV News. "We did it, but it never came out. So I put it on the album, and right now it fits perfectly in the time."
Moguai said that "In N' Out" landing on his album is the kind of happy coincidence that always happens when DJs tour together. He added that including the track on his album was even more exciting after Trash had a huge year in 2011, with tracks like "The End" and "Cascade" becoming staples in DJ sets around the world.
"In N' Out" works well with MPire's melting pot of sound, which ranges from the quintessential progressive sound in "Lyme" to electro-house euphoria on the album's title track. Moguai told MTV News that they wanted to have a really big new sound on their edit of "In N' Out" for the huge festival crowds over the summer.
Moguai's adding more U.S. tour dates this summer. He'll be making his first summer tour stop on June 8 at Level in Kelowna, British Columbia. Then he's off to Chicago on June 9 to play Vision before hitting a plethora of festivals and nightclubs.
"I think EDM has found a new home here in America, but it's like the beginning, like hip-hop and R&B," he said. "It's a cultural thing right now. It won't disappear anymore."
Moguai has seen EDM grow into the mainstream in his native Germany, and he sees many parallels between the explosion of EDM in America and what Europe experienced nearly two decades ago.
"We had it in Germany," Moguai told MTV News. "We're still having it, but it feels like back in the days, back in the early '90s, you know, when we started with Love Parade and with the Mayday. It began with 500 people around Berlin, around Brandenburg, and from there the next year it was 5000, then 50,000, then 500,000, then 1.5 million, then 2 million, you know, and it grew up. [It] feels quite the same [energy] here."

As Michael Jackson's only daughter, Paris Jackson was never destined to have an easy life. So it's almost a relief that Paris seems so sweet, smart and normal. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired Sunday on OWN, 14-year-old Paris fondly remembered her father (who died in 2009) and talked about moving forward with her life. She did, however, admit that there were some pitfalls to living as a "normal" kid. Watch a clip of the interview, below.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been co-stars both on- and offscreen. Now, with their wildly successful film franchise coming to a close, are the stars behind Edward Cullen and Bella Swan exploring another film project together?
When MTV News caught up with Stewart at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, we asked her to address Pattinson's reported quotes to Belgium outlet Ciné Télé Revue that the pair were working on a script together.
"We are constantly working," she said, "but no."
"We are!" her "Snow White and the Huntsman" co-star Chris Hemsworth chimed in. " 'Snow White and the Huntsman 2' written by us, and it might be more of a straight-to-video version if they let us write it."
"No, no," Stewart replied.
Hemsworth defended his statement: "If they let us write it! If they let us write it."
"It'll be better," she said. "Our version? We've basically written it. No, I'm kidding. We're gonna write the second one, all of us [in the cast]."
"We are," Hemsworth agreed. "It's gonna be a group kind of exercise. Everyone just closes their eyes and start scribbling and then whatever's on that page, [that's the script]."
Talk surrounding a "Snow White" sequel was previously reported back in April, when Universal was said to have approached screenwriter David Koepp about penning a script. Stewart told MTV News last year that she's "over the moon" about this project and would "love" to work on more films if the franchise continues.
While the movie's director, Rupert Sanders, said the fairy-tale princess could go dark in a sequel, Stewart remains skeptical.
"Well, I'm not saying anything. Nothing at all," she laughed. "Let's undermine our entire lead character in the very second [film]. It's like, 'No, that's my whole [thing].' It would be so weird to [make her darker]. It would break me, which would probably be interesting to watch."
"But then we have to rebuild you, which is exciting," Hemsworth added.
"That's the third one, the rebuilding," Stewart replied.
"See how far in the future she lives?" the Aussie actor said, addressing us. "Never in the moment."
Well, she is coming off four films, soon to be five, with "The Twilight Saga."
And Hemsworth conceded, "She's done this before, hasn't she?"
Check out everything we've got on "Snow White and the Huntsman."
