Guilty as charged?
I think I feel sorry for him. No, I really do.
The Michael Jackson fan base have ensured a 'guilty' verdict be read out. They would not have allowed the jury, the court room, his family, the world to consider the more realistic notion that Michael Jackson was a broken man who suffered from drug addiction. He paid Conrad Murray to administer these drugs and in doing so, paid for his own death. I think Murrary is guilty of being greedy - greedy for the money Jackson gave him to cross the line and give him more than a recommended dosage. I can imagine a lot of people would be tempted to do so. Murray may have felt his job was under threat if he did not.
The notion that there was a conspiracy to kill Jackson doesn't hold much weight to me but it does in an American court room, apparently. If money was the motive then surely keeping him alive is a more sensible prerogative? That way, he'll keep making money? Or they would have at least let him do those 50 nights at the O2? Surely? Conrad Murray has been charged with 'Involuntary Manslaughter' will serve 4 years or less, most likely in LA County Jail. This kind of seems like a compromise. 'Ohhh we know you didn't really do anything wrong, you didn't mean to kill him, but look he's got loads of crazy fans so just go to prison for a bit, quietly yeah?'.
It's canny mad really.
Time for a gin.
