Dr. Conrad Murray on Katherine Jackson: "I Love Her Very Much"

Dr. Conrad Murray is feeling very mushy gushy after his preliminary hearing Tuesday for manslaughter. The worst part of the process for the late Michael Jackson's former doctor is seeing the King of Pop's family grieve. One member in particular really touches his heart — MJ's mom Katherine Jacskon.

"It's hard to see Katherine grieving ... I care about her as much as I care about my own mother," the infamous doctor told photographers, via TMZ, outside Nordstrom in Santa Monica.
