Jackson Family Outraged Over Charges

As Dr. Conrad Murray was arraigned on charges of involuntary manslaughter for the murder of Michael Jackson, the family of the King of Pop are furious that he was not brought up on harsher charges.
"He's a monster," said Michael's mother, Katherine.
"This charge is a slap on the wrist," said Joe's attorney, Brian Oxman. "There's great disappointment here. [Conrad Murray] should've been charged with a higher degree of responsibility. What he did was reckless. It was a disregard for human life."
And they are all on the same page, which is rare for the Jackson clan.
“Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan," said LaToya Jackson. "There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served."

I hope Dr. Conrad Murray gasses the rest of this disgusting brood too.
CONRAD MURRAY SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED! MICHAEL JACKSON WAS AT FAULT. THE JACKSON FAMILY NEED TO MOVE ON AND REALIZE MICHAEL JACKSON DID THIS TO HIMSELF. THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HIM! HE WASNT THINKING ABOUT HIS KIDS, FAMILY, FANS, CAREER…HE WAS THINKING ABOUT HIMSELF!
Didn't Jackson want the drugs? Duh! Of course it's gonna be involuntary manslaughter?! The family was not around to help Michael when he so obviously needed it (despite their claimed attempts) and now they want to act indignant because of the charges?!
Go get 'em LaToya!
-
there is more money in it for them if he was murdered, could spin that into a TV movie
-
don't kid yourselves, MJ was no different than any of these self-centred, ghoulish monsters - he deserves everything he got
-
This is just sick. They're living out a fantasy world, jaded by the eyes of the public. Dr.Conrad Murray had very little to do with MJ's death. MJ got what MJ wanted, with no regard to law or cost. If Murray wouldn't shoot him up, another doctor would gladly take the handsome pay do it.
How much you want to bet LaToya's going to drag this out for more tv appearances?
DisGUSTING.
MJ was a DRUG ADDICT, and this poor guy was just his enabler. Agree with Brainbug, shoot up the rest of the family for good measure!!!
Sorry Jacksons, but involuntary manslaughter is the only appropriate charge for Dr. Murray. You cannot put ALL the responsibility on him, as much as you'd like to. You want the fact that MJJ was a drug addict and sought him out totally ignored? No.
Maybe Dr. Conrad Murray was secretly the parent of one of the little boys MJ molested and he was seeking revenge? The plot thickens!
The Jackson family is disgusting. Michael Jackson WAS ADDICTED TO THE DRUGS THAT KILLED HIM. He had built a tolerance to the drugs and the final dose killed him. That's a fact! He went to rehab for this! Sad but true. He also DEMANDED the propofol and hired the doctor to get him those drugs. MJ holds some responsibility as well. God people.
He's an enabler, he's a money whore, he fucked up, but he's not a monster. Jackson was the addict. His family may have tried an intervention but obviously they didn't try hard enough. They were on the money train too. If it wasn't Murray supplying MJ's habit, then it would have been any number of other shady doctors wanting a ride on the gravy train. I'm surprised though that the charge wasn't something like negligent manslaugter or negligent homicide, but in the end it was MJ's own demons that caused his demise and Dr Murray was the catalyst.
MJ was a drug addict…. he took risks, he played the russian rulete and lost…
He did it to himself….he played with fire and got burned.
Dr Murray was only a toy for MJ, Don't fool yourselve Katherine…you look stooopid, just shut your mouth and acept the fact he was a drug addict and wanted no help, from nobody, He was a big narcisist who didn't think of anybody but himself…. let him rest in peace……!!!
LaToya Jackson is such a crackpot, my god.
SORRY!! but Dr.HURRAY..is not the bad guy..The JACKSOn fam & people are..dont try to take more victims..enough with MJ..he was a big star..but a druggie also…MJ people..is not always ur way..Momma, "Sisters" & "Bros" leave Mj..sorry the $$$ alone!!! Just hide 4 a while..
**
Dr. Hurray !! is INNOCENT..violA!
The Jacksons are running scared. Their meal ticket is gone. How come we didn't hear nothing from them while he was alive? Also how are they supporting themselves? Or better yet, how were they before he died. I can't remember the last time i heard of Tito Jackson other than a Chris Tucker joke.. This is just another ploy to act like the caring family. I hope that the kids take all the money and leave them high and dry. One other point. Notice Janet is mostly not involved in this?
The Jacksons need to accept that Michael had serious problems, and would have ended up this way without Dr's help.
This is such bull shit. And Michael isn't responsible? He was paying Murray for this.
Puh-leeze. MJ was a drug addict. Period. If he didn't get what he wanted, he would have thrown a bitch-fit. Put the blame where it is due rather than trying to make him look like an angel because he's dead. As far as I'm concerned, the Dr should be given a medal. One less child molester in the world. Boo fricken hoo.
Everyone knows that's not his rea name right?
He changed it back in February 2009.
They sound like Michael Jackson had to die because there's like some James Bond plot to blow up the world or something and it had to start with Michael being dead. Oh well. He was a freak and a major druggie anyhow so buh bye. That Dr Murray put enough drugs in him to put an elephant to sleep for a week and it didn't even phase Michael Jackson so he must have been doing a hell of a lot of drugs that Dr Murray didn't even give him. Wah Wah Wah. They just want to be able to sue so they can keep getting money.
Why wasn't he brought up on murder charges? It doesn't matter what the patient (MJ) wants, what matters is what the doctor dispensed. I say charge him with first degree.
A doctor should know better you idiots! If someone who wanted to die becuase they were disabled and asked a doctor to end their life does that mean the doctor should help them? Is that what doctors do? No doctors are their to help their paitents live and not be swayed by money or sob stories. You idiotic Americans, do you know how many Americans are addicted to prescription medication? Its a modern day problem. People who get sick take meds and then need more meds for side affects and then they get addcited. its a vicious cycle! you stupid dipshit rednecks who have no idea about the state of mordern medicne! More people die from prescription drugs thean all the coke and crack combined..thats including the very old to the very young! This doctor should be jailed.
I just saw MJ at McDonalds ordering a kid's meal.
i agree that the charges should be more
To bad the weren't concerned and outraged while MJ was still alive
So glad to hear most people on this board agree - MJ's death though sad it may be was the demise of MJ himself and his perpetual use of lethal narcotics. While I do believe Dr. Murray should be punished in some way for being pawn to celebrity and giving these drugs, there is no way he should be charged with murder.
And this family geez, they are a trainwreck. No wonder MJ stayed as far away as he could from this looney bunch.
I wish they would make an example of this Dr. MJ had a problem-a lot of it stemming from being a star, he was enabled by shady hwood drs to be an addict. Theres no reason this drug should have been given in the home. I hope they throw the book at him. If you feed an addict drugs-it should be murder.
Go get them La Toya!
Yes MJ had a drug habit but it's Conrad Murray that took a Hippocratic oath to aid people in need not take advantage of them. What Murray did was both morally and legally wrong and he deserves to go to jail for Murder but unfortunately he won't because the US legal system is screwed up and lets Murderers run free.
Michael wasn't murdered because Dr Murray didn't have the intent to kill. Manslaughter is an appropriate charge and he should have his medical license revoked in the US.
lol How you all are taking up for this doctor is beyond me! First off, what a patient wants and what a patient gets should be two different things. OF course, Michael was addicted to prescription meds, the world knew this BUT as a doctor it is your responsibility to help a patient and NOT give in to the demands. Propofol shouldn't have been administered as a sleeping aid nor should it have been used outside of a hospital. Since this is the medication that killed a man, then the doctor needs to own up to his misuse of the drug.
I agree with Bring it. Mike did this to himself. He demanded this and got it. if it was not Dr. Murray, it would have been another doctor as evidenced by the many years of abuse. The charges against Murray are appropriate because he should be charged with assisting someone to kill themselves. He knew the risk as a physician and let money get in the way of his better judgement. To try him for murder would have been impossible. To charge someone with murder you have to prove intent, malice, and they did not have the proof. Michael was this guys meal ticket. If anything, he would want him alive in order to keep bringing in the 140k a month salary. So it made no sense to try to charge him with murder. Manslaughter was perfect. Hopefully this will force doctors to say no to celebs wanting out of the ordinary care. just like Britney Murphey. I knew before the coroner released their report that it had to do with prescription drugs. thats why they asked if she went to other doctors. they probably found a high amount of prescription drugs in her system and no script from a doctor.. Doctors have to be reigned in ior we will continue to see these types of deaths. They should definitely take Murrays license away for good.. Price you pay for being an idiot.
SO DONE WITH THEESE BROUDAHS
so now latoya thinks there was a conspiracy? for WHAT? Michael was in dept up to that fake nose of his. The only BIG hit he had was THRILLER. He was not near the top of any music charts now a days. The only reason he made any charts now, was because of the history of thriller. Back then, maybe jealousy could have played into murdering MJ, but NOW? The only ones that could benefit now are who? Lets see, when a musician dies, his music has a sudden surge of sales, so who ever inherits MJ's music rights would benefit from his death. That would be katherine and the kids. So, is latoya saying that her mother and blanket might be in this conspiracy? book'em dano!
It is so frustrating when you see families blaming the dope dealer and NOT the addict. Michael Jackson used the drugs to cover all the years of abuse both to him and from him. Michael Jackson received what he wanted, an escape from his demons. He is dead because he refused to address his addictions, end of story.
Jesus, first of all, enough with MJ. Holy COW. Second - It's not the docs fault. Superstars get WHATEVER THEY WANT it's so ridiculous. MJ wanted the drugs, he had a problem. I'm POSITIVE that this is going on with a handful of other prescription drug addicts in hollywood as we speak. It's MJ's fault he took it too far. The effing family needs to stop pointing fingers at other people and maybe point it at themselves and the one in the coffin. I love MJ don't get me wrong but i'm so sick of people not caring until it's too late and when it's too late they blame others. it's so lame. if ANYONE SHOULD BE GETTING LOCKED UP IT'S THE FATHER FOR BEING A GOLD DIGGING ASSHOLE THAT HE IS. He's using his son's death as a profit… Way to go Dad.
Just think if Conrad was a whitey,child please
actually I think that everyone that is shouting he should be booked for murder is in on the conspiracy- they don't want murray to serve a day in jail-cause if he was tried for murder, he WON"T….. so stop yelling that the DA is not doing his job, he is trying Murray for what he thinks he can get a jury to bring back a guilty plea on. also, don't be so quick to want to bring murray to court. the jacksons should watch their mouths too. ALOT OF UGLY gonna come out. michael did alot of drugs. Michael had proponal before. he went around asking for it. Murray is just the jerk that was so money hungry that he is the patsy that pulled the plug. MJ, I never thought he would make it to 50. Murray will lose his license, and that might be punishment enough. that jerk likes fancy stuff and what can he do for a living now?…. do you want fries with that?
Man, Jackson was a drug addict and Murray was his high priced dealer. Jackson's family needs to accept that responsibility.
MICHAEL JACKSON WAS ASKING FOR THOSE DRUGS, HE WAS AN ADULT AND HE KNEW THE CONSEQUENCES. PLUS MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A PEDOPHILE, BUT I GUESS THAT WAS OKAY BECAUSE HE HAD THE MONEY.
Anybody notice Janet isn't really involved in all this?
I adored Michael Jackson and I don't mean to speak poorly of the dead, but he hired Dr. Murray to administer drugs that in and of themselves are to be used only in a hospital setting and are very, very dangerous. I believe Michael Jackson certainly had some culpability in his death and the Jackson family, though understandably upset at losing their beloved Michael, needs to understand this.
I understand that losing the King of Pop was a horrible thing. Dr. Murray should have known better, but putting the blame 100% on him is crazy. MJ wanted and requested the drug!! MJ was a drug addict. His family admits to trying several times to get him help. Saying that Dr. Murray is a murderer is ludicrous.
So likely no jail time for the Doctor. He needs to lose his medical license for sure. Docs need to read and practice the Hippocratic Oath they take - instead of greedily providing whatever insane med requests they get from celebs. How many dead celebs via prescriptions from Dr's? Anna Nicole, Heath Ledger, Brittnay Murphy, Michael jackson. Outrageous.
Re: dimplecheeks – Please don't bring the whole "Americans do this" "Americans do that" argument in here because it is an IGNORANT GENERALIZATION brought on by IGNORANT PEOPLE who don't research their facts. It's just as bad as generalizing blacks or jews. And you can't prove a damn thing either way. What are you, 16? 18?.
And you know what? Money makes people do stupid things. So does the fact that people like to keep their jobs. Do you NOT KNOW that Jackson was a huge drug addict? He would have just found someone else to jack him up with drugs.
And I'm Canadian. A$$.
what a bunch of haters….no matter what the Dr.could have rejected michael jacksons request for these drugs but he did not because he was getting paid very well.it was about the money.The Dr. should pay for what he did.He new it was dangerous and knew it should only be used in hospitals.It's both of their faults…HEY BRAINBUG you moron.IT"S ALL ABOUT MONEY……….a child molester…molests any child…his kids were'nt….you don't know shit you judgemental BITCH…………
Maybe LaToya can join up with OJ Simpson when he gets out of jail and they can search for the real killers together.
Re: DebDebs – The man took enough goof juice to kill a friggin horse. He was on the brink of death, did you not see "This Is It"? He was extremely unstable and all it took was that little extra nip to send his frail and drug addled life over the edge.
Re: xShawnax – So. If a drug addict paid you half a million a year to administer his drugs, would you do it?
Um Im sorry but shouldnt every single person in his family that did nothing while he killed HIMSELF with drugs be charged with involuntary manslaughter too? Poor Michael I cant imagine what his life must have been like with these vultures that call himself his family sucking his bank account and credibility dry no one will ever know what he really went through
Really where was this family while MJ sunk into drugs and despair??? Too little too late.
MJ was the master of his own destiny, As for the Jacksons get a grip The Oscar Nominations are already out. Enough Grandstanding!!!!
The Jackson family DOES KNOW Dr. Murray has no money, don't they?
When are you people going to start blaming Michael Jackson for his own demise. Yes what Dr. Murray did was negligent, but if he had said no, MJ would have gone to someone else who would have said yes. Michael Jackson caused his own death by failing to take care of the only body he had. He used his celebrity to abuse his body repeatidly and suffered the unfortunate consequece of DEATH. Face reality and take the blinders off. Put the blame where it really belongs.
I love how they are all FURIOUS about the charges when he has clearly been an addict for years!! None of them cared about that then because he still was making money for them!!! Conrad Murray may have been the one that day to administer but the cause of death was a long history of drug use and abuse!!!
michael committed suicide with the help of this quack, had mj not engaged in this dangerous drug use he would still be alive. this gang of free loaders is just trying to seek revenge for the dr helping mj abuse drugs, now their meal ticket is gone.
Re: babyg1 – And you know his kids personally? No? Well then I guess you don't know whether he molested them too. Keep yapping your ignorant, uneducated mouth that your father uses as his personal cun*t. I bet you LOVE being molested too, don't you whore?
Its funny how no one is saying that MJ was a DRUG ADDICT! And paid people to do this to him!!!!! Its not like poor M.J was a helpless victim in all this. it was only a matte rof time, his family knew what was going on, they ALL let enabled him, and now they want to pretend like they are shocked of his death.
They have done nothing but exploit his death from day one, coming out with new records, trying to make money off his death! They all shuld go away and shut the hell up. They have benifited from his death and thats sick. THis is the only way they can
I don't think the Dr killed him. I mean, MJ's family gave a damn about him when he was alive and all the charges he had to face, and where were they? Comme onnn! I feel sorry for the kids that they lost their father, but I don't feel sorry for the family! They've really taken advantage that MJ is gone now.. and all for the money
It's really sad! Like many have already pointed out, MJ was a drug addict and he wanted the drugs..the Dr gave him what he wanted.. sure, he could have said no.. but money talks I guess.. And I'm wondering if anyone cared about MJ the way his kids did/do or his fans? His family gave a damn and they still do!
Michael Jackson did this to himself. Conrad Murray was one of many people around him who never said no. He just happens to be the one taking the fall.
Re: Brainbug – LMAO You would find that the same questions that you just asked can be applied to YOU! If anyone was ignorant it is YOU! Did you know any of those children personally, who were teenagers at time? Were you there when he supposedly molested them? I bet you love watch kids being molested! It takes a pervert to recognise another pervert! Arguments and evidences suggesting his innocence is a lot stronger then those suggesting his guilt. But people believe whatever they want to believe… End of the day we don’t know…. But Paris saying he is the best daddy…says otherwise… don’t reply back
Re: Shoniqua –
I did say it. See #7
Stop attacking the family! If a close member of your family died (the same way) most of you would say the same thing. My point is they are still grieving and they are emotional like any other family would be. Whether you like Michael or don’t, he is still their brother, father and son! Personally the right charges were given to the Doc. But I do hope he loses his licences at least! This doctor inserted MJ powerful drug and left him unattended. If this happened to anyone of us, the doctor would lose his licence to practice. He was reckless and would do anything for money.
Re: sweetlol – Hahaha - yeah, best daddy ever when he was CONSCIOUS which wasn't often you idiot. And…he was a junkie child molester too!
Re: Brainbug – Man you really are a bitter .So what prison did they release you from..coo coo monga….just to let you know you can call me whatever you want,as long as you feel better….XOXO.nice mug shot..
Re: fairwindsandfollowingseas – LMAO @ dipshit! If that is the case then why did MJ have problems sleeping? HENCE: He was conscious most of the time! He had a big tour ahead of him (AND WAS PRACTICING A LOT) so yeah he must doing sleepwalking instead of moon walking *roll eyes* you FOOL lol! And believe what you want to! People like you don’t even know the children he supposedly molested names. (Don’t bother google-ing it now and don’t reply back)! I’ve seen many people on here highlighting facts and evidence from the two cases. I don’t understand how anyone can be sure of what MJ is? Can’t be asked to have back and forth arguments! Goodbye and don’t reply.
Re: sweetlol – Ah, but you, my dear, know everything there is to know about MJ and his life, right? You are so pathetic.
Re: fairwindsandfollowingseas – I know the facts of the cases inside and out? Do you? Wait….do you even have common sense? I didn’t even say MJ is innocent but “evidence towards his innocence is stronger those towards his guilt” so where did i say i know everything about MJ? Where oh where? Maybe it is in the same place Osama or the nuclear weapon is? Pathetic to commit man guilt when you don’t know shit! Now run along dipshit! Re: fairwindsandfollowingseas –
so SICK of hearing about this shit.
Re: fairwindsandfollowingseas – Re: Brainbug – Btw you are entitled to your opinion. But you can’t change mine or others. im gone now. tc
Dr. Conrad I'd like to make an appointment for Usher.
Re: sweetlol – How about we stop attacking eachother's characters and stick to facts? You're chasing your tails and creating hate. Unless, you like to help contribute to this already fucked up and miserable world.
Conrad Murray should be congradulated and honored for his role in ridding the world of a charletan, even if by accident. The people associated with glorifying this cretin should be blamed and held accountable too. The family only lusted after the money and noterity of the moment and failed as a family member in calling out this freak for what he was and what he did. It appears that so manu others feel the same way when reading the post. That is what I mean and I am sticking to it.
The doctor may have given him the stuff that killed him and michael may have wanted it but the ones that really killed him is Us and the media. Say what you want about madonna and her speech at the mtv awards but she hit it write on the nose. To any idoit who thinks that he could have molested young boys with cancer and aids you are the mosters and thinking like that is what drove him to drugs in the first place so thinks to you all for killing the most talented and careing men in are life time. p.s. that goes for you too latoya.
Re: Lincoln1 –
1000% agreed. Murray should shoot up the rest of them quick before he has to report to jail!!! Start with the father!!!
Although this "doctor" is wretched, he is a scapegoat for everyone else, including the MJ himself and the family. They ALL allowed this to go on because they all lived off Michael's fame and money. This wasn't the only doc he was getting drugs from and he if it wasn't him, it would have been from another doc. They all got paid to say YES to Michael's demands and give him what he wanted.
Michael Jackson was the master of his own destiny.. his family is the most dysfunctional group ever foisted on the American public. Their own self imprtance reminds me an awful lot of The Adams Family. (even creepier)
Re: bring it – I AGREE IT wasnt a BIG Conspiracy! He was a drug addict and KNEW what he was doing and if CONRAD didnt give it to him HE WOULD HAVE PAID SOMEONE ELSE TO DOSE HIM SO WHAT EVER!
f u all who ay MJ was a junkie.
MJ did only have th drugs in his body that th doctor prescribed.
he was an enabler,
SORRY BUT I FEEL DR MURRAY SHOULD BE AQUITTED. DIPRIVAN WAS IN MICHAEL JACKSONS LIFE WAY BEFORE DR MURRAY CAME INTO THE PICTURE…IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CHARGE ANY OTHER DOCTORS WITH PRESCRIBING HIM THIS DEADLY DRUG..APPARENTLY OTHER DOCTORS BEFORE DR MURRAY GAVE HIM THESE KINDS OF DRUGS ALSO, THE JACKSONS ARE USING DR MURRAY AS AN EXAMPLE WITHOUT ADMITTING MICHAEL WAS A MANIPULATOR JUNKIE, IF SOMEONE DIDNT GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED HE WOULD HAVE MOVED ON TO THE NEXT POOR SAP TO BE ENTRAPPED BY HIM. IF I WERE ON THAT JURY AND THE PROSECUTION DID NOTHING TO FIND OUT ABOUT OTHER DOCTORS THAT MAY HAVE GIVEN HIM THAT DRUG IN THE FIRST PLACE AND ALSO THE FACT THAT MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A HUGE JUNKIE AND SHOULD ALSO BE BLAMED FOR HIS DEATH!…HE WAS ALREADY A DIPRIVAN JUNKIE WHEN DR MURRAY CAME ALONG, SO I WOULD HAVE TO AQUIT HIM OF ANY WRONG DOING AND LET HIM GO ON AND PUT TOGETHER A LIFE THAT WAS SCREWED UP BY SOME DEAD PEDOPHILE JUNKIE.
BY THE WAY…JUST SAW MICHAEL AT A DRAG SHOW IN A GAY BAR AND HE WAS DOING HIS BEST IMPRESSION OF DIANA ROSS
Michael Jackson is to blame for Michael Jackson's demise; if not Dr. Murray it would have been someone else. I was fired from working for a VERY famous celebrity b/c I wouldn't get a prescription for Aderrall (sp?) in my name for him. Dr. Murray will lose his license and spend time in jail, and he should for violating his oath and being an idiot charmed by the cult of celebity. Ultimately MJ wuld have founf a way to get his fix.
They can't charge him with murder. He didn't have INTENT to kill. It wasn't PREMEDITATED. Obviously some people don't understand the law. I'm not on the Doctor's side, he obviously should not have administered those drugs as propofol is used in surgeries and an anesthesiologist is suppose to be present to monitor the patient. That was negligence on the Doctor's part. Unfortunately, Jackson had a high tolerance to the drug, he demanded more and ultimately died. There were many others involved and this Doctor is the fall guy, he should be charged and he is, but he cannot be charged with murder. Others involved should be charged as well. Let's all be honest, this was GOING to happen eventually, Jackson was ADDICTED. If this Doctor wasn't the one to administer the drugs, Jackson would have found someone who would. In the end, it was not murder.
Murder would indicate that Dr. Murray purposefully killed Michael. Somehow I doubt he wished to murder his never ending meal ticket. Michael paid that man loads of money for the drugs he provided, why would Murray want to end that? Sorry Jacksons, it wasn't murder. Get over it!
Re: JayRock – Good post. Thanks. Ok, I'll concede on the murder charge. But, what he did was wrong on many levels. Essentially, he killed MJ. There has to be a strong penalty for that.
Im my opinion, while I do like Michael and think he was innocent of what he's been accused of, I do have to say Dr. Murray is responsible for Michael's death and should loose his license, BUT Michael is the ruination. Dr. Murray took an oath that he would practice medicine to help sick people; he aided my Michael's drug addiction, and what he was doing while administering the propofol was undeniably negligent. While I do understand that Murray was wrong to give Michael the drugs, no one put a gun to Michael's head and made him ask for the drugs, yes he had a terrible life, but still, their is no 'excuse' for drug abuse. Had Michael not gotten the drugs from Murray, he would have gotten them from someone else, Murray was the fall guy. I do not believe Murray wanted to "murder" Michael, why would he want to kill his meal ticket? Murray should lose his license, and maybe receive a jail sentence for a few months. Michael's death = Murray 75% Michael 25%. RIP.
Re: CandyEyes – I meant to say "In my opinion"
I agree with the family 100% Murray should have been charged with more. He was way out of line and didn't adhere to the oath he took at all. I don't care what Michael asked him for. Michael asked him for one of the only things that helped with his insomnia but it was Murray's job as a professional to say no due to the risk. What makes it even worse is that he not only gave him the meds. but he gave it to him w/out proper backup in case something was to happen and he gave it outside of a hospital setting which is a big no, no. Then this "Dr." leaves the room for what he says is 2 minutes, comes back and see's Michael not breathing but somehow didn't manage to call 911 until about 2 hours later.. What in the world was he covering up? He was wrong. He knew he was wrong and he was trying to buy time to try and get him out of hot water. Michael had a dependency on something introduced to him by professionals to help w/ his sleep. Contrary to what you all say Michael had no problem as he did in the past with prescription meds. Had he had an addiction those meds. would have been all up in his system. The only things in his system was from what Murray had administered to him that day and the night before. Murder in the 2nd degree is what he should be charged with.
BTW who are all you for criticizing the Jackson family for wanting justice for their loved one?? I'm sure if you were murdered by your "Dr." or anyone else for that matter you would want your family to fight for you as well…
R.I.P Michael
Michael J was a HUGE druggie and Dr Murray was being paid to do what that idiot druggie wanted him to do. If it wasnt Dr Murray it would be someone else. And he had other drs in the wings writing shit for him too.. He was a drug whore plain and simple. He had enough cash to \buy the good shit too
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – You bringing up Michael's past addiction only further proves how human Michael was although many people did not view him in that way. Once again I will bring to your attention that Michael was in emotional and physical pain during that time. Like many other human beings who suffer from those things, he turned to self medicating to dole the pain. He was targeted and accused of something that was further from his mind. He was in physical pain from wear and tear that his body had endured. He was introduced to prescription meds (in which at first he refused to take) back when he was severely burned. What are you trying to prove sticky_and_slanderous?? other then your slanderous/false comments about Michael, all the other stuff you talk about only humanizes him that muc more. Let's talk about some of Madonna's humanly addictions next why don't we??
Murray might not have woke up that night before or that morning with the plan of murdering Michael but the fact is that his negligence as a professional did take the life of his patient. Even if this weren't Michael who was the victim and it had been your mother, father, sister, or brother I would still think the charge of involuntary manslaughter is too low of a charge. He voluntarilly took that oath, he voluntarilly wrongly medicated Michael and all the other skecthy things he did following the time he noticed his patient was no longer breathing he voluntarilly did as well. If a doctor was in a hospital performing surgery with the proper percussions in place and everything safe for that patient set in place yet that doctor botches the surgery which claims the life of that patient then I would consider that an accident that might fall under "Involuntary." But then again based off of some of the outlandish things that some of you are saying, you would place half or more then half of the blame on the patient right? Because at the end of the day they knew of the dangers?? They asked for the surgery right?? They asked to die? *rolls eyes*
Re: Annie Sue – : Oh you again lol :
The audacity of some of you to also say that Michael "asked for it." Or he wasn't "thinking about his children." Michael's children meant the world to him. He had alot to live for so how can you say that Michael wanted to die? We do things on a daily basis without thinking that, that could possibly take us away from our children and family. You take a chance anytime you take any kind of medication whether it be prescribed or over the counter. So with that being said, remember your taking a chance when you get in your car everyday. You could possibly be involved in an accident whether you be the cause or not that can end your life and take you away from your children. How horrible of you to take such a risk that could take your life and hurt your loved one's right? People going in for cosmetic surgery should be ashamed of themselves because they're putting their vanity over the love of the children and family members right? Michael had a serious sleeping problem that even some of you on here can understand. He was embarking on a long and hardworking journey and shame on him for wanting some rest? He enlisted the help of a "Dr." who he thought he could trust. Too bad that "Dr." wasn't too trustworthy. I don't care what a patient ask for. It's that Dr's job to keep that patient safe.
I am sick of people saying that Michael Jackson was a drug addict. Yes, he had problems with prescription drugs in the past BUT if you look at the coroners report the only drugs found in his body at the time of death were the ones Dr Murray agreed he gave him!! the Coroners report shows that MJ was clean from anything other than the drugs administered by Murray.
so you lot who thinks murray has done nothing wrong would be happy for him to sedate you yes? yeah right…
Re: TheRockChick – "if it wasnt dr murray it would be someone else" - yeah and that someone else would be right where murray is now so your point is exactly???
Re: MJ ROCKS!!! – Exactly! Wonder if they would except an invite from Murray if he was throwing a sedation party? Wonder if they would except even if he lowered the price to 50% less then he was charging Michael? If Murray had administered to some of the addicts on here ( the drug addicts, the Michael Jackson hating addicts) it would make no difference then him administering to Michael. Either way it still goes against the oath..
Re: MJ fan59 –
LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE MISSED THEIR MEDICATION TODAY. WOW!!!
Re: SwisKris –
"if not Dr. Murray it would have been someone else."
…. so that makes it ok does it?
it dosnt matter if there was a hundred doctors queing up outside MJ`s home all clutching their supply of propofol, the fact is dr murray was the one who administered it so therefore he is the guilty one… and if dr murray didnt do it and it was someone else then they would still be in the same hot water that murray is in now.
and for all you who think this shady doctor has done nothing wrong - i dont believe for one minute had a doctor done this to your fathers you would have the same attitude as you have now…
like - never mind doc, you killed my father but hey, dont worry, coz i know he asked you for the fatal dose.. give me a fucking break!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: bigray – wow what??? they are an mj fan on an mj post!!! whats your excuse???
We have lost to many talented performer through the years because doctors being money hunger someone has to pay and be made an example of. Beside he should pray he goes to jail because mick has alot of upset fans that are out for blood and revenge if he does't go to jail the crazy die hard fans will make his life a living hell.
