The doctor convicted of killing Michael Jackson could become a star witness in Australian dance choreographer Wade Robson's $US30 million ($A33.00 million) molestation legal battle with the King of Pop's estate.
It was Conrad Murray's recent headline-making interview with Australia's 60 Minutes that captured the attention of Robson's Los Angeles-based legal team.
Murray, when asked if he believed Jackson was a pedophile, paused for 15 seconds and then declined to answer.
"Wade wants Murray to speak to his lawyers because if he has vital information on Michael then it could be significant," the New York Daily News newspaper, quoting a source close to Robson, said.
"It is obvious the way he answered the question he has much more to tell and that could be dynamite for Wade's case."
Robson's pursuit of a large payday from Jackson's estate is set to go before a judge in Los Angeles on June 2.
Brisbane-born Robson, 31, who as a five-year-old dance prodigy befriended Jackson, had been one of Jackson's staunchest supporters and testified under oath at the King of Pop's 2005 molestation trial in California that Jackson never molested him.
Robson's evidence was key to Jackson's acquittal.
Robson, however, now says Jackson was a "monster" who brainwashed, manipulated and molested him.
"He performed sexual acts on me and forced me to perform sexual acts on him," Robson said in an interview on the US Today show in May.
Jackson's family and lawyers have branded Robson's delayed allegations "outrageous and pathetic".
Robson, who has worked with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears and won an Emmy Award for the US version of TV competition So You Think You Can Dance, claims he was so traumatised by Jackson's abuse he can no longer dance, sing or write songs.
