Dr. Conrad Murray Is Found Guilty
By Candace Butler
After an exhausting six week trial and nine hours for the jury’s official decision, Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter yesterday afternoon. Michael Jackson‘s family are rightfully relieved; the King of Pop was prepared for his comback tour, This Is It, when Murray administered the deadly dose of propofol to Jackson without properly supervising his patient or taking proper steps after he stopped breathing.
The main concern now is his upcoming sentencing hearing on November 29th. He may be behind bars right now for his own safety, in accordance with the ruling of Judge Pastor, but Murray may not stay there. Los Angeles-based criminal defense attorney Mike Cavalluzzi told MTV News that jail time is actually unlikely:
any jail time wouldn’t be appropriate in this case given the fact that Dr. Murray has no criminal record and there truly was no malice, no intent to actually harm Michael Jackson at all.
Overcrowding in California jails is liable a better reason, but either way-the possible four years of prison that can be ascribed to him due to his sentence is well, unlikely. Not that we should be worried. It’s not like he’ll be able to practice after this due to low patient volume alone, right?
But enough about negligent doctors and their criminal records. This is the closure we’ve been waiting on. And now that it’s all over with, we can finally turn our attention away from a few hours of Jackson’s life and look at the years he spent entertaining us. The “Thriller” star was, after all, about to make his comeback–to end his career in style and bring back what we loved about him most–his showmanship.
So, what is your favorite Michael Jackson song?

It was breathtakingly stupid of Michael Jackson to sign for 50 shows knowing that he had a chronic sleeping problem. The rogue treatment with Propofol, “the magic bullet” was seemingly necessary; Michael wouldn’t have been able to do 1 show without sleep how could he have managed 50? The glaring reality is, Dr. Murray or not, Michael was doomed! He didn’t have the emotional intelligence to put everything aside and take time to heal, emotionally, physically and mentally. The quick answer that will solve Michael’s dilemma in his mind’s eyes was propofol and Co.
Although this doctor could not have prevented this boat to sink he has precipitated it by digging a bigger hole in the ship’s hull. Dr. Murray chose to be part of Michael Jackson’s vagaries for a big chunk of change under the guise of his medical license. The universe works in mysterious ways, isn’t it? Everything that could go wrong, went wrong, this is Murphy’s law in action. Dr. Conrad Murray is a truly disastrous doctor. This is gross negligence, greed, and it hits the level of criminality. Both men are self-made, and both men are guilty, one is dead, the other will probably be confined to a jail cell where he will be spinning on his butt trying to understand what went wrong. There is no room for softness, I can’t wait for the verdict!
Dr. Murray is not the only greedy man in the MJ saga. This is the crooked timber of humanity. In the crux of this drama I would like to jump from that into another shameful exploitation of MJ. A line of perfumes dedicated to Michael is about to be launched by Michael’s own father and a professional scam-artist who is much spookier than Dr. Murray, Julian Franck Rouas. This story will make your eyes curl up in the back of your head when you’ll read about the psychologically malevolent Julian Rouas and the Jackson Tribute Fragrances rogue operation. With no functioning conscience, they have even used Michael’s kids to promote the stinking perfumes. .. http://jacksontributefragrances.blogspot.com
