The mega-lawyer who successfully defended Michael Jackson in his molestation case is coming out swinging at Dr. Murray's defense team -- blaming MJ's death squarely on Murray because the singer was "not suicidal."
Thomas Mesereau went on MSNBC today -- and stated, "The defense lawyers have to do something and what they're gonna try and do is reflect attention away from their client and onto Michael Jackson."
He adds, "The reality is Michael Jackson was not suicidal, he was not self-destructive in the way they're trying to say, and hopefully their defense will not succeed."
For the record, Mesereau's "suicidal" statement is not accurate -- because according to our sources, the defense will argue that Michael MAY have accidentally killed himself after trying to self-administer Propofol ... but he was not suicidal.
Perhaps Mesereau's strongest commentaar -- "I'm sorry that the defense is going to have to bash Michael Jackson to try and divert attention from their guilty client."

The co-executors of Michael Jackson's estate think Discovery Channel did the right thing when they yanked a documentary from their UK schedule that was to feature a reenactment of MJ's autopsy.
A rep for John Branca and John McClain tells TMZ, "The co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson are pleased that Discovery Channel made the correct decision in choosing to annuleer this exploitative program."
The co-executors went on to say they feel Michael's fans played a large role in Discovery's decision, saying, "While Discovery cited legal proceedings and our request as the reasons for its decision, none of this would have happened had it not been for the incredible passion displayed door countless Michael Jackson fans worldwide who knew they stood as one and that their voices could not be ignored."
As for any future plans to air the show, Branca and McClain said, "We are hopeful that this toon will never run in any market in the future."

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for u to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells u never be afraid
Then somewhere in your hart-, hart u can feel the glow
A light to keep u warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My ster secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells u never be afraid
Then somewhere in your hart-, hart u can feel the glow
A light to keep u warm when the night winds blow
Look for the regenboog in the sky
I believe u and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever u may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever u may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Waiting for u to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
