Dr Feelgood

I have been watching bits and pieces of the trial of Conrad Murray. He is the doctor who worked for Michael Jackson and was being paid an insane amount of money. $150,000 per month. It has opened up the very strange world of Michael Jackson and his hangers on. I would not trust any of them as far as I could throw them. Dr Murray was an enabler just like the doctors that surrounded Elvis, and Dr Murray was willing to supply MJ with his drugs but never attempted to deal with his addictions. I wonder who made the decision for Dr Murray to become MJ’s personal physician.

Dr. Conrad Murray’s defense, his only real defense against the charge of involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson, is a simple one. He says that Jackson in effect killed himself. That he was so hopelessly drug addicted that he pumped himself up with the fatal drug or combination of drugs that killed him.

None of the witnesses so far have covered themselves in glory. But it is the defendant Conrad Murray who is the star of the show even though he hasn’t said a word. If you think Michael Jackson looked strange, then you need to watch Conrad Murray . His face is completely expressionless and the eyes show no sense of emotion.

The trial has not gone well for Conrad Murray. The prosecution is very efficient, while his defense team reminds me of The Keystone Cops, and seem completely out of their league. In my view, the prosecution team is making a very good case against Dr Murray and the details of the use of the drug Propofol are incredible, as the drug is normally only used as an anesthetic in surgical procedure, and must be closely monitored, not going off and calling one of your baby mama’s.

It is MHO* that the Doctor will be found guilty. But what about the addict? Do his actions enter into this? What do you think??

* my humble opinion

150K a month is a lotta dough. I guess it would be hard to stop this if one were "addicted" to the income.

Sad. I feel so bad for MJ and the end that came of him...he seemed to brilliant, but just so haunted.

I don't really watch TV, let us know what happens. I would guess he would be found guilty. After all, he could have refused to give Michael any more drugs.

MSN:
MY feelings about this trial is that BOTH sides were to blame.

This just a case where the CAUSE of the problem was never addressed...all the while the "symptonms " just kept getting "treated".

And we saw the results of such ignorance, right?
Good call on this.

Keep us apprised.

Stay safe down there.

Setting a gun on a table will not kill an adult. Perhaps MJ was never given a chance to be a real child, but he was an adult when he died. It might make people who loved MJ feel better if someone gets the blame for his death, but in the end he himself was the one who allowed it to happen.
