Dr. Conrad Murray Found Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter of Michael Jackson

Yes, when you prescribe to death
He administered it. He didn't just hand over a bottle of pills and leave.

Or, what she said

He didn't. He died from a medication that was administered to MJ through an IV. A medicine that is used to knock people out while you do a short procedure (because it doesn't last long). Or it is used to keep people in a drug induced coma on a continous drip. A drip which is carefully monitored and titrated accordingly as needed. Someone had to keep giving it or it was left on. Basically, the MD was allowing the medicine to drip and LEFT it.

That medicine should NEVER be given outside a hospital setting. It is most certainly NOT a prescription medication.

if you have a friend thats a druggy and you give him the shot of heroin that kills him, you will go to prison. and as a dr, he should have told MJ that he couldnt have that stuff. a liquor store owner does not take an oath to protect life. nor does he pour the drink down the alcoholics throat. Dr Murray, the prosecution argued, did inject Michael with, essentialy, death.

That means MJ was hardcore!

Honestly, I'm probably the biggest MJ fan around here, but I have no qualms in somebody saying the dude was messed up. Conrad Murray may have had a responsibility to monitor Michael, but MJ knew he was killing himself. The sad part is he probably didn't care. Normal people don't need those drugs just to get some sleep.

not to mention that he got the drugs through illegal and improper channels ... i wonder if that is the same stuff they used on Inception
