Conrad Murray Sentenced
Dr Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years in country jail (not state prison) yesterday, for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.
On passing sentence Judge Michael Pastor said:
"Of everything I heard and saw during the course of the trial, one aspect of the evidence stands out the most, and that is the surreptitious recording of Michael Jackson by his trusted doctor.
I find that Dr Murray abandoned his patient who was trusting him; his patient was vulnerable under those circumstances, having been administrated potentially dangerous drugs by his medical provider.
Dr Murray's course of conduct extended over a period of time, he repeatedly lied and engaged in deceitful misconduct and endeavoured to cover up his transgressions.
He violated the trust of the medical community, of his colleagues and of his patient and he has absolutely no sense of remorse, absolutely no sense of fault and remains dangerous.
It's easy to say, 'Oh well, Dr Murray is a medical doctor, he's a smart sophisticated man, he doesn't have a criminal history, he may not be licensed to practise medicine in the future - although that has nothing to do with me, I have no authority over that.
The fact remains, Dr Murray is offended by that patient dying and I don't have any idea what will prompt Dr Murray to do or not do something in the future that may be dangerous to a patient if he does practise medicine in the United States or even elsewhere."
It is likely, because of overcrowding, that Dr Murray will not serve the full term.

It is utterly rediculous to me this doctor is sentenced to 4 years jail time....what a joke...he killed the King of Pop...no matter how he labels his actions he was responsible for Michael Jackson's death and he should spend the rest of his life in a prison like the criminal he has proven himself to be.
ReplyDeleteDon't even bother arguing with these people. The gullible public generally knows nothing about those child molestation cases and they know even less about the Dr. Murray case. Murray screwed up. He failed to call 911, didn't have proper monitoring equipment,etc. But on top of that he should have never been giving MJ Propofol in the first place. Fellow Doctor's who took the stand were all outraged by Murray's conduct. Most people outside of MJ fans haven't even followed
