Doctor Is Guilty in Michael Jackson’s Death

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson, among the most famous performers in pop music history, spent his final days in a sleep-deprived haze of medication and misery until finally succumbing to a fatal dose of potent drugs provided by the private physician he had hired to act as his personal pharmaceutical dispensary, a jury decided on Monday.

He is a victim too. MJ ordered him to hand over the drug that killed MJ himself.

Then he was not a very good Doctor. How on earth can a Doctor give medicines on demand by his patient? Unless and until the Doctor was blackmailed/framed to do so.

Remember how powerful Micheal is comparing to the doctor. If MJ wanted it then he had no choice to hand over the drug to him.

Well, you may be right Hafizzz, an excerpt from the article itself.

Testimony showed that Dr. Murray had stayed with Jackson at least six nights a week and was regularly asked — and sometimes begged — by the insomniac singer to give him drugs powerful enough to put him to sleep. Jackson, Dr. Murray told the authorities, was especially eager to be administered propofol, a surgical anesthetic that put him to sleep when other powerful sedatives could not. Testimony indicated that propofol, in conjunction with other drugs in the singer’s system, had played the key role in his death on June 25, 2009.

Prosecutors tried to paint Dr. Murray as a money-hungry physician who would do things no reputable doctor would do — including improperly and recklessly administering an anesthetic normally given only in a hospital. The full retinue of drugs given to Jackson while he was under Dr. Murray’s care was so beyond normal practice, prosecutors said, that it amounted to a “pharmaceutical experiment.”

For its part, the defense tried to portray Jackson as a man so desperate to make his comeback concerts a success that he was willing to take wild chances and grew terrified that he would not be able to perform to his own exacting standards without more rest and less stress.

The morning Jackson died, Dr. Murray told investigators during a recording played in State Superior Court here, the singer told him, “Just make me sleep; it doesn’t matter what happens.”

Involuntary manslaughter is a slight crime in the U.S.

Involuntary manslaughter is a slight crime in the U.S.

But it is nightmare for the doctor. He is going to jail, his reputation is ruined and some MJ fans might physically hurt him

The man was irresponsible. He obviously succumbed to the lure of big $$ and a relatively easy life by becoming a quasi-legal drug dealer to a wealthy person.

He'll probably lose his medical license and spend a year or two in jail.

are you a michael jackson fan?

cant he just 'pay' himself out of prison?

[Butters]

I'm going to watch the trial, hopefully it's up on YouTube.

No I'm not a huge fan. I think he's kind of weird. But live and let live... if people enjoy his music, that's fine. As for the doctor "paying himself out of prison", why do you say that? Rich people go to jail all the time.

[Doctor09]

it is against the ethics of a doctor to prescribe a drug which he knows can be fatal for his patient .........so if in order to get money or anything else like this he prescribes such drug with the full knowledge that it can be fatal will make the doctor guilty and his medical practice license can be cancelled

[fd24]

The lure of the dollar got to him. He cancelled loads of private patients so he could be exclusive to MJ. Sadly i think he was on the slippery slope before Conrad got his dirty paws on him. Agree will most likely get a year or 2. His license will be revoked and he will become a semi celeb and come on morning television shows or some other 3rd class tv show. Watching the trial i found limited emotion, crocodile tears and the only remorse i sensed was he got caught hiding stuff like the back of drugs he was administering.
