venusenvy: Mont...you and C/O are running the same thread side by side...the dreaded thread mash-up
I know. People have a choice IF they want to post and where they want to post. Doesn't matter to me. I didn't know that CO's title referred to Conrad Murray.
I'm glad too NS. It won't bring Michael back but perhaps his children, his siblings and his mother will rest a little easier now that justice has been served. R.I.P. Michael...
Newinsouth, there is another thread written by CyncialOrange if you care to look at it..
Ja. Seen it on news this morning. It's not to put up with him or anything. But there are times, I am in that situation, wrrong everywhere...wrong in the kitchen, wrong with a colleague. Handcuffed in guilt. And then vindication..that even when you're all messed up,love. It's in the darkest you see the light brightest, no matter how little it is. Sometimes it's Dr. Murray, sometimes, it's us...out there.
Guilty perhaps through greed. Michael Jackson, like many celebrities, often choose their private doctors on the basis that they will prescribe on demand, and of course pay handsomely for it.

And it all started when Michael needed Demerol to help him with the ongoing pain he had everyday from the accident in the Pepsi commercial. That alone I find disturbing that all these years he lived with that pain. If doctors couldn't do anything for the pain he had to take something to relieve it so he could perform. Otherwise, it would have been the end of him performing. I'm not making excuses for him. Even Elizabeth Taylor has been on strong drugs ever since she made the movie Velvet when she fell off the horse.
Amen to that. I saw this thread and it caught my eye while there is a commercial right now as I am watching on tv the rehearsal of the Concert that tragically never came. It brings tears to your eyes seeing him not just performing but getting ready for it and talking with people......it is almost like he is still alive,....I pray he is in a very good place. Bettis.
What said it all for me as far as the Dr’s attitide towards MJ was that tape. The one MJ was so incoherent on and the Dr who would at some point use it as his “insurance policy” for future financial gain.
MJ’s life was on disaster highway for some time and he is as guilty as anyone else that contributed (leeches) including his own family for how it all ended.
But he will be missed and I’ll never forget the Motown 25th Anniversary performance as well as the 1988 Grammy awards. Favorite MJ song … Human Nature.
When I think of MJ, I’ll try to remember him in a place where he was most at peace on this earth, perched in his “special tree” at Neverland.
Dear Monte I watched the trial pretty much every day.
Today, in handing down the maximum possible sentence for Murray’s involuntary manslaughter charge, Judge Michael Pastor said he believed the doctor was dangerous because he showed “absolutely no sense of remorse, absolutely no sense of fault.” He said Murray seemed to blame Jackson and others for his situation and portrayed himself as “just a bystander.”
I feel so sorry that Michael never got the right kind of help he so desperately needed.

Sadly this guy will only spend two years of his four year sentence,if that.A law in California tied the hands of the judge from sending him to state prison. The new law provides that non-violent offenders cannot be sent to the state prison system.He will serve his sentence in the L.A. County Jail and since they are over crowded he will spend significantly less than that in jail{probably less than half of his sentence}...........

will he serve two years in jail? or at some point will they switch it to home arrest? saves the state a lot of money to do that and i wondered if that was something that may happen down the road?

If I`m not mistaken the judge may have pre-empted the doctor from home arrest. The judge said he was not eligible for probation and that may prevent the sheriffs department from letting him out of jail to serve home arrest.

Hi Y4M...The judge not only said Murrary felt no remorse for Michael's death but Murray also said it in the documentary he made. He was on a morning talk show and said "I did nothing wrong. I didn't tell them about the Propofol because they didn't ask". Murrary did blame Jackson because Michael's death was now an inconvenience for him. He lost the opportunity to get $100,000 a month AND undoubtedly new he would eventually be arrested. Judge Pasteur was livid. I could feel his impatience and sadness while he took half an hour to address the sentencing phase. Judge Pasteur and Prosecutor Waldren performed their jobs and were the best I have ever seen.

You're not alone in being affected by the taping of Michael's voice while he was under Propofol. Even the judge said it was the thing that stood out the most from the trial. The judge said he tried to find a good reason why Murrary would tape Michael while under Propofol but he couldn't and came to the conclusion that it was an "insurance policy" for Murray, meaning if Michael and Murrary ever had a fallout in the future, Murray would the tape to blackmail Michael.
