Jackson - Murray Trail Verdict Reached!

i dont the doctor was guilty - jacko was a druggie and i think ppl need to start putting responsibility where it belongs - to the ppl that hurt themselves.  we have to have some kind of control in our lives.

But isn't the doctor in a special position of responsibility where his patient has entrusted him to treat him a competent and proper manner?  By all accounts, and from what I've seen of the evidence, this guy was beyond incompetent. Regardless of whether his patient was a druggie or not, he still had to carry out his duties in a competent and professional manner - which he clearly didn't and cause the man's death.

one of the prerequisite to be a genius entertainer is to be a druggie, Presley ,  MJ, Jimmy Hendricks ,  John Belushi etc

Doctors give palliative and other patients high doses of morphine or narcs all the time and leave them unattended all the TIME.

I dont think he is responsible - this was Jacksons normal routine with the doc...i just think this time it took him...it was an accident and it was intentional.

at best he should have had a suspension from practice, back to med school to learn how and what drugs belong where, when to administer and how - at his own cost.  He should have probably paid some damages to the family - the kids and most importantly - i think the public humiliation and distrust of this man was enough to destroy his career.

jail time?  i dont think so.

I hear you.  But in our criminal justice system that blaise attitude by those doctors you mentioned is a crime (whether we like it or not) if the patient dies.  Let's see if he appeals.

he will be free in about a year, have a couplah books and be rich in 4 years...don't worry too much...  ::
