I told truth, says Jackson's doctor

Dr Conrad Murray posted a short video message on YouTube as police continue to focus on his role in the star's death.
Meanwhile, it was announced that Jackson will be buried in a private ceremony in Los Angeles on August 29 - the date he was due to celebrate his 51st birthday.
The late King of Pop's final resting place will be the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn cemetery, said the family's spokesman Ken Sunshine.
Federal agents investigating his death are believed to be working on the theory that Dr Murray administered a powerful sedative of the type thought to have killed Jackson shortly before he collapsed in his rented Beverly Hills home.
Two offices connected to Dr Murray have been searched by police, as has his home.
Last week officials from the Drug Enforcement Administration walked away from a raided Las Vegas pharmacy with evidence that showed Jackson's personal physician purchased propofol - the anaesthetic thought to have caused his heart to stop beating.
The singer died on June 25 at the age of 50. Dr Murray, who was at his side when he died, has not been named as an official suspect, but court records have identified the 51-year-old physician as the subject of a manslaughter investigations.
In his message on YouTube, Dr Murray said: "Your messages give me strength and courage and keep me going. They mean the world to me. Please don't worry, as long as I keep God in my heart and you in my life I will be fine. I have done all I can do. I told the truth and I have faith that truth will prevail."
