“Dr. Murray has an unquenchable desire to help people, and no matter where it is, he will return to his given profession of healing,” his Texas lawyer Charles Peckham told The News last week.

 

 

I am sure there are openings in the Obamacare Death Panels that he would be uniquely qualified for.

Well, the Feds did say the prisons were overcrowded.

I thought this was going to be a poll.  I was going to have a hard time choosing between Bieds and Chris Brown.

Can he seriously retain his medical license after that bullshit?

[eaterfan]

Biebs.

 

Why does it matter that MJ is a pop star? Should Murray get more time because Jackson is famous?

If every doctor lost their license after killing a patient, there'd be a lot less doctors

[Mudville]

Yeah but few doctors are actually convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

[AngelsLongBall]

Conrad Murray was only charged b/c his client was MJ.  Had he killed you or I, I doubt charges are brought

[Bruce Nye]

I didn't blame Murray from the get-go.  MJ was a disturbed human.  With the amount of money he had, he could have the best docs on the planet.  He effectively took his own life, not too much differently than Whitney Houston.

2 years?

 

only in california.

I don't get people who have time to just stand outside a courtroom with signs for hours, just wasting away their time.

 

Don't they have jobs they need to go to?

That really is not a good comparison. Houston's fatal dose was self administered while Jackson's was orchestrated by a licensed doctor that was receiving $150k a month for sleep aid.

Probably the same people that protested the name change on State College Blvd.

TMZ confirmed he was using aliases to obtain prescription drugs - I think there was a lot more to the story than what Hollywood believes.

2 years for involuntary manslaughter doesn't seem like that short of a prison term... especially for a non DUI. Is that less than in other most other states?

He's making people fool themselves into thinking they're rock when they're just wussy soccer mom crap.

he was originally sentenced to 4 years but was released early. 

 

two years for being a crappy enough doctor that helped caused a man's death seems a bit light to me. don't know what the penalty is in other states, however.

The entertainment industry is unique. Like it or not, the laws are applied differently there.

it really sucks that the laws don't seem to apply equally.

 

 

btw, it's probably time to change your icon.  :-)

You can't compare the two situations.  Jackson using aliases in the past to get prescription drugs doesn't change the facts regarding what Murray did.

 

Murray knew he was breaking the law by getting MJ the propofol and by giving it to him.  MJ died on his watch.  Period.
