he looked that hysterical. >> reporter: for the first time on camera, murray describes what happened inside michael's bedroom the day he died, blaming jackson's body guard for the chaos. >> i told security to get the kids away from there, get the kids away from there because i did not want them to see their father getting cpr. >> kind of ushered them out and said, "kids, don't worry, we'll take care of it. everything is going to be okay." >> and he says, "doctor, doctor, what happened? i need help." i'm doing cpr, mr. jackson is not breathing. call 911, i need you to call 911. >> we have a ja here that needs help and he's not breathing. >> in addition to me doing cpr, chest compression, and trying to resuscitate this patient, i'm controlling him on the 911 call. how old is this patient? 50. get the [ bleep ] over here. get here. i need you to come. come on. help me. >> reporter: the body guard says he did all he could. it isn't all anger from murray. he gets emotional, too, discussing his close relationship with michael, like kindred spirits. >> he said "of all my life, i have found one friend which is you, dr. conrad." >> reporter: murray says they both grew up with controlling fathers. >> i think in some ways there were mirror images of our lives, especially did not have the full appreciation from our fathers. he had a dad that never hugged him, never hugged his own children. he lived a life written in 100 years of pain. >> reporter: even if murray's intentions were good, the jury didn't seem to care, guilty and now it is the doctor who faces years of suffer. so here's what comes next. murray will be sentenced november 29th and the judge has full discretion here. he can give murray anything from just probation up to four years in state prison. legal experts say the fact that the judge sent him right to jail on monday not a good sign for murray at sentencing. michael jackson's oldest sister rebbie jackson was in the courtroom for the verdict and joins us exclusively. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> describe your emotions upon hearing the verdict and anything that michael jackson's children may have said about it. >> when i heard the verdict, i thought i was going to feel as though i got a tremendous amount of relief, but i felt really numb and not only that, i started crying profusely. >> do you know why? >> i guess because the reality of what had transpired really hit me at that point and even though he passed a few years ago, going on into the third year i think, the problem with it was that it sort of just brought everything back to reality, and it was so much. it was just tremendous. >> prince, paris, blanket, did they say anything? >> i hadn't seen them, because when i left the court, they were still in school. we went back to my mom's home, but i'm sure they feel a lot of relief in relationship to him. >> we have a video clip dr. murray did a few weeks ago with savannah guthrie. i want to get your reaction on the other side. let's listen. >> reporter: do you remember his final words before he died? >> it was probably i don't know, but probably when he was pleading and begging me to please, please let him have some milk because that was the only thing that would work. >> what do you want to say about the effort by the defense to paint your brother as an addict who contributed to his own death? >> well, my problem is that i have with the entire theory or the situation was the fact that the doctor took an oath in being a professional. he performed something in a private setting, you might say, that is giving, administering propofol, which is wrong, so no matter what the situation was, he was wrong because he's not supposed to do that. >> was your brother to blame at all in contributing, in your view, to his death? >> i don't think so, not at all. i don't think so. >> you're not sure. >> not at all, i don't think he contributed to the death, i don't think so, no. >> but will you acknowledge that he did, was addicted to medications? >> he had addiction to prescription drugs, i do know that. >> dr. murray is now in jail, he could get anything from probation to four years in prison and sentencing on november 29th. what do you think should be the penalty? >> well, i'm going to leave all of that in god's hands. i do know that because of the law that has recently been passed i understand the jails are overcrowded so he's supposed to get up to four years but i have been told that he might just get house arrest. i don't know. and it's sad, because my brother is gone and nothing will bring him back, that's for sure. >> dr. murray said he loved your brother. do you have any sympathy for him at all? >> no, i don't, not in that way i don't because if you love someone you'll do what you think is best for him, not what you think they want to you do. >> how are michael's children now, two and a half years after his death, how are they doing? >> they to be very honest they seem to be functioning fairly well. they're in a new society you might say arrangement interacting with people in the public and enjoying their lives as best they can. >> that's good news, rebbie jackson. thanks for being with us this morning. >> you're welcome. thank you for having me. much more of our exclusive interview with dr. murray friday. see "michael jackson and the doctor" friday night 10:00 p.m. eastern time on msnbc. we'll make a turn now to politics and the newest claim of sexual misconduct lefrld against gop front-runner herman cain. a fourth accuser came forward monday. we'll talk to her in a moment. first nbc's kelly o'donnell is in washington with details. >> good morning, ann. the latest accuser said she wanted to put a face and voice to the other women who have also claimed that herman cain committed some kind of sexual harassment against them. now this woman had not filed a formal complaint but she came forward with some specific and even graphic details about what she says happened when she spent time with cain. cain made a campaign stop on late night tv. >> all things considered, i'm still alive. >> reporter: herman cain with host jimmy kimmel. >> the feelings that you have when you know that all of this is totally fabricated, you go from anger, then you go, you get disgusted, because there's not an ounce of truth in all of these accusations. >> reporter: that was just hours after sharon baialek provided a lengthy account saying cain groped her 14 years ago. >> he suddenly put his hand on my leg, under my skirt and reached for my genitals. he also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch. >> reporter: in 1997, bialek had been let go from an education foundation tied to the national restaurant association, where cain was president. she says she knew cain and wanted his help to find a job. her attorney is gloria all-red. >> instead of receiving the help that she had hoped for, mr. cain instead decided to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package. >> i said, "what are you doing? you know i have a boyfriend. this isn't what i came here for." mr. cain said, "you want a job, right?" >> reporter: late monday night his campaign lashed ought at bialek calling her "a woman with a long history of severe financial difficulties, including personal bankruptcy." meanwhile, the lawyer for another accuser who had filed a complaint and received a settlement was pleased bialek spoke out. >> her allegations are similar to the incidents that my client suffered, not exactly the same but similar, and to me it shows a pattern. >> cain says he will fight back with a news conference this afternoon, where he will be in phoenix, and we already get a sense of what he will say, his campaign is saying, that gloria allred the attorney is a democratic activist who is celebrity seeking and make the suggestion that opponents somehow convinced sharon bialek to come forward with false accusations he says with a potential of somehow making money. allred says bialek has not sold her story. >> thank you so much. sharon bialek is with us along with other than allred. >> good morning. >> first address your response to the mccain campaign calling you "a woman with a long history of severe financial difficulties and personal bankruptcy." you have filed for bankruptcy twice. is your coming forward a part of any kind of financial motivation? >> absolutely not. and you know what? i had spoken to gloria about this before. there were no skeletons in my closet. i told her that this may come up and i expected this. this is what happens. it's not about me. i'm not the one running for president. >> but it's also important to know she could have sold her story. she like millions of americans has financial difficulty, up front about that. >> point taken. >> she wants to tell the truth. >> did anyone with the other campaigns encourage you to speak out? >> no, absolutely not. i came of my own volition. >> why after an event you say happened 14 years ago are you only coming forward now? >> there's a variety of reasons. number one, ann, when this happens the first reaction is you're embarrassed. number two i had a boyfriend at the time, we discussed it briefly although i didn't share the details with him and he said it's going to be one of those he said shsh she said things. these were the late '90s. unfortunately we're still not where we should be in these types of cases so for those reasons. >> you're absolutely sure he used the words "you want a job, right" those were his exact words? >> yes. >> the mccain campaign as you know has since disputed this, saying in a statement, "all allegations of harassment against mr. cain are completely false. mr. cain has never harassed anyone." what is your reaction to that? >> i think maybe mr. cain's definition of harassment might be different. maybe he doesn't feel he harassed them. >> gloria, does this technically qualify as harassment? sharon no longer worked for the national restaurant association? >> she may have had rights nonetheless because she was seeking his help getting a job. the real question is, ann, should the public believe the word of four different women, two of whom filed claims of venti sexual harassment and received settlements for them or the word of one man who has a motive to deny. >> here is another question being raised by the right. the question as you heard in kelly's report that this is a part of partisan politics that you, gloria, just before the california election for governor you held a news conference with republican meg whitman's fired housekeeper who was an illegal imgrant and she lost the election and you've contributed thousands of dollars to barack obama and hillary clinton. so is this a politically motivated effort on your behalf? >> absolutely not. the last big news conference i did in new york was against congressman, democratic congressman anthony weiner. my client said he should resign, he sent her sexual messages and that was one of the reasons he thought he should resign. i've also criticized president clinton when he lied to the american public. if a man commits an injustice against a woman, sexual harassment which by the way is no joke although apparently herman cain wants to make it a laughing matter, then i am going to speak out against them if they're democrat, republican, libertarian, or no party at all. >> all right, gloria allred and sharon bialek thank you so much. >> thank you. >> i know this is not the last we'll hear about this. now let's get a check of the weather from mr. roker. al, good morning. >> good morning, ann. we have pretty incredible storm chaser video. we'll look at that coming up. we've got severe storms today ahead of this system. there is this video where a storm chaser gets a little bit too close to this system and all of the sudden his car gets flipped. fortunately nobody injured in this but it was only a matter of time before something like that happened. here's where we've got the risk of strong storms from houston up to st. louis, ahead of the system, behind it unseasonably cold air. showers, tornados possible ahead of the system, rainfall amounts from three to five inches of rain from oklahoma city up to joliet, innoise. behind it we're talking anywhere from three to six inches of snow through the central plains and upper midwest over the nexpe >> good morning, it will turn out to be another beautiful day and then the fog will burn of shortly and sunshine is expected in the afternoon and a high temperature will be 68. >> and that's your latest weather. ann?
