Conrad Murray's lawyers 'fight during jail visit' after disgraced Michael Jackson doctor suffers health scare

It was chaos as Conrad Murray's lawyers visited him in prison today after tempers flared and the attorneys ended up in a fight. 

Two lawyers representing Murray had gone to LA County Jail to see him on Tuesday after he had a health scare, complaining about pain in his right arm and shoulder.
J. Michael Flanagan, who handles Murray's defense in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case, arrived this afternoon with his 30-year-old son Ryan for support.

They were shortly followed by lawyer Valerie Wass who represents the disgraced doctor in the appeal of his criminal conviction and with regards the California Medical Board.
According to TMZ, Wass attempted to enter the visiting room to see Murray but was blocked and pushed by Flanagan's son.
The two lawyers then had a heated exchange of words. Following the altercation, Wass filed a battery report against Ryan Flanagan.
Murray, who is believed to have witnessed the entire altercation, is currently serving a four-year sentence.

After a 23-day trial and several days of jury deliberation, Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter on November 7, 2011, in connection with the death of Michael Jackson.
The superstar died on June 25, 2009 of propofol intoxication after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.
Last month, Murray filed an appeal of his conviction and as part of the motion, the 59-year-old requested to be released while his appeal is pending.
