@omd0 Dont listen to lies.

@godswad - Complete BS on all counts. Not only is OJ nowhere near the first guilty man to be acquitted he was acquitted because the prosecutors tried to plant evidence, which introduced reasonable doubt. The jury did what they're supposed to do in such a situation. Comparing Jackson to OJ is apples and oranges because there is actually EVIDENCE against OJ Simpson. There is none against Jackson. No DNA, no video, no credible witnesses, nothing.

Try thinking instead of parroting. If you can.

Why would you kill the guy paying you 150k a month?

Guilty!!

@Ulrna - The down side is that MJ had been breathing shallow for long enough that even if Murray or some of the paramedics revived him there might have already been some brain damage at that point. But likely not enough where he would be non-functional.

@Ulrna - "Would it be better had he laid in the hospital in coma like a vegetable?"

In some ways I think it would have been since there was a significant possibility he could have been revived, according to other doctors. According to several professional anesthesiologists Jackson could have been revived with an injection of another specific drug to counteract the Propofol. Murray could have injected it or the paramedics might have had whoever called 911 known what was in MJ's system. Sad. :(

[A86]

@Ulrna - It's true that MJ shouldn't have hired doctors to feed him those medications that he didn't need (such as Propofol). A lot of people don't realize it but MJ was sometimes in a lot of physical pain due to physical injuries he accrued over the years, such as breaking several bones (some of them more than once) and having several fall injuries (not to mention his scalp burns). That's probably what got him hooked to anesthetics, though he was playing with fire by messing with surgical drugs

[Ulrna]

@A86 But why where there a doctor at Jackson’s estate in the first place, why did Jackson hire doctors.

In Jackson’s case he looked malnourished and generally sick in the end. If he died as a cause of these drugs, they would have had a hard time resuscitating him, if it would even be possible.

Would it be better had he laid in the hospital in coma like a vegetable?

I hope you understand I'm not debating Murray's guilt, I'm just curious where you (representing America) would draw the line.

@Ulrna - The responsibility of being an adult is that you don't give patients things that you as a doctor know you're not supposed to give them. You definitely don't leave a patient to die on the floor and not call 911, then try to hide the evidence of you giving drugs to a patient that you know dern well that you shouldn't have.

While MJ shouldn't have been taking those drugs and it's sad he didn't get the help he needed Murray also did things he knew he shouldn't have.

[A86]

@Ulrna - "most addicts eventually die of conditions caused by their addiction"

Anesthesia addiction is not the same as alcohol or narcotic addiction. Anyways, we'll never know if MJ would have killed himself eventually but it's also pretty much irrelevant. That excuse doesn't work for drug dealers and it certainly won't work for a doctor. A cancer patient may end up dead anyway but that's not an excuse if a doctor withheld medication from a patient because he thought they might die anyway.

[Ulrna]

@A86 You underestimate the moral and logic responsibility of being adult.

Not everyone has a doctor to administer them drugs, but most addicts eventually die of conditions caused by their addiction. there’s not really much to argue unless your unethical and cold.

Conrad Murray is technically responsible for administering the drugs, the public is to blame for not taking action sooner. Michael Jackson exhibited obvious signs of drug use but no one did anything.
