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 commento -- "I'm sorry that the defense is going to have to bash Michael Jackson to try and divert attention from their guilty client."

The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former home of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage Musica haven.
TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small Musica institute -- similar to The Juilliard School in NYC. The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including Scrivere and performing.
Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.
There are two big stumbling blocks. The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.
The secondo -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute. TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for te 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 te never be afraid
Then somewhere in your cuore te can feel the glow
A light to keep te 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 stella, star secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells te never be afraid
Then somewhere in your cuore te can feel the glow
A light to keep te warm when the night winds blow
Look for the arcobaleno in the sky
I believe te and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever te may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever te may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Waiting for te 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
