Dr Conrad Murray has been charged with the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson. Much of the evidence in the case of The People v Conrad Robert Murray will centre on Michael Jackson's use of the drug proposal. He used the anaesthetic, which he called his "milk," in his nightly battle against insomnia, and how he came to overdose on it will be argued over by medical experts and pathologists. Dr Murray, a Houston cardiologist, had been hired by Michael Jackson six weeks before his death on a salary of $150,000-a-month to act as a personal physician as the singer prepared for his comeback "This Is It" tour. Prosecutors claim that Dr Murray administered propofol and then left the room, during which time Jackson stopped breathing. Defence lawyers claim Dr Murray had been trying to wean Jackson off propofol and gave him only a minimal dosage. They claim the singer, desperate for sleep, swallowed an additional dose of the drug when his doctor was out of the room. www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/michael-jackson/8791778/Conrad-Murray-on-trial-for-involuntary-manslaughter-of-Michael-Jackson-latest.html

Ok.....let's go with just the fact that the doctor was supplying Jackson with propofol........isn't that negligent to even be administering that outside of a hospital???

I don't know but I have the nasty feeling this is going to be a media circus rather than a proper trial.

It is going to make two lawyers richer. If someone offered me a $150 000 salary, I would do everything possible to keep him alive.

They don't call him ,'Whacko', for nothing !

True.....for that much money I probably would have had him stuffed and kept up the ruse........
But.....I still think they have the doctor on negligence.....there is just no reasonable argument to be administering that drug outside of a hospital.

A recording that Dr. Murray made of Michael Jackson, while he was drugged out, was played in court. Pretty eerie!www.tribute.ca/news/index.php/court-hears-disturbing-michael-jackson-audio/2011/10/07/ QUOTE: Court hears disturbing Michael Jackson audioAudio files extracted from Dr. Conrad Murray’s iPhone that were played in court this week reveal the voice of a heavily drugged Michael Jackson. His voice is almost unrecognizable and it’s difficult to understand what he’s saying, but it’s clear that he’s tortured by the fact that he had no childhood, having had to work from a very young age. J. Randy Taraborelli, who knew Michael for 40 years, said on The Early Show: “While many people over the years may have felt that Michael was exaggerating this narrative of a lost childhood for maybe the purposes of publicity or career advancement, I think that we see now that, even in this highly intoxicated state, it really was the main focus of his life — the pain and the hurt that he felt at not having a childhood.” On the tape, Michael is heard telling Murray he wants to build a hospital for children with the money from his upcoming concert series, saying, “I love them. I love them because I didn’t have a childhood. I had no childhood. I feel their pain. I feel their hurt…I hurt, you know, I hurt.” The tape is believed to have been recorded six weeks before Jackson’s death. Taraborelli voiced his concerns about the audio recording, saying, “Any thinking person, you know, who is a friend of Michael’s, who had heard him in this condition would have immediately rushed this man to a hospital for treatment. And I find it very disturbing personally that Conrad Murray was listening to Michael Jackson in this state and instead of, you know, throwing him in the back seat of his car and taking him to a hospital, he is tape-recording the conversation. I just don’t know what to make of that.” Dr. Murray’s manslaughter trial is scheduled to continue for five more weeks.

Michael Jackson is dead from an overdose. He was not murdered or neglected, this is just post Hollywood bandwagon profiteering. Ruining the doctor's reputation is just a bonus. What is the point? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I do believe it was irresponsible of the doctor to be administering that drug outside of a hospital.
But Jackson had a lengthy history of dropping anyone that did not do exactly what he wanted. If he hadn't gotten it from him....he would have found someone else.........

What is the point? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ It's probably an attempt to deter other doctors from catering to high paying patients, with an appetite for dangerous drugs.

The closing arguments for the the defense and the prosecution of Dr. Conrad Murray have been made. I could only find this YouTube video with a segment of the prosecution's closing argument.
I understand the defense is still maintaining that Michael Jackson took a lethal oral dose, without Dr. Murray's knowledge. Prosecution witnesses have claimed that the deadly drug can only be injected and loses it's effect, if consumed orally.
The jury will be deliberating today-Friday!

Toby comments.:- As I see it the whole case comes down to the very basic premise that Doctors are required to follow and that is, ' do no harm ',
That means even if a Doctor cannot cure a patient, the Doctor is not allowed to administer any sort of treatment that has the potential to harm the patient.
In this case the drugs administered could and did do harm, there is really no defence ! I expect a Guilty Verdict.

But did the doctor administer it? That is the question.
