We're now told Chernoff will be earning some sort of fee, and  Murray is also responsible for expert witness fees and other trial-related expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;More Dr. Conrad Murray&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/30/conrad-murray-michael-jackson-heart-ekg-paramedics-ucla-medical-center-wrongful-death/\"&gt;Conrad Murray -- Michael Was Alive at UCLA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/28/dr-conrad-murray-michael-jackson-propofol-apology/\"&gt;Dr. Murray: Why Apologize?
