Michael Jackson is worth more dead than when he was alive. Proving damages is going to be difficult.

No, the lesson is to not give out sedatives in a private setting that are only to be used in hospitals.

Jackson was a sick freak and molestor children for crying out loud. The dr. may have facilitated Jackson’s access to drugs, but if not him, then Jackson would have bought the drugs elsewhere. This dr. is the scapegoat.

Doctors have a duty to say no regardless of the patients desire to obtain. It is called “responsibility”, adults do those typers of things.

The only ones I feel sorry for are the kids who’s parents were more than willing to let him have.

Agree, but do you really think this Dr. was Jackson’s only source of drugs? Did jackson hoard drugs?? Jackson was a sick pervert in so many ways regardless of the doc he had.

This “doctor” was being paid a million a year by Jackson to provide him with illegal perscription drugs.

Conrad Murray worked for Jackson for only two months. He was never paid, not one dime. Next.

Conrad Murray saved countless boys from molestation.

"Conrad Murray worked for Jackson for only two months. He was never paid, not one dime. Next."

But he signed a contract for over 100 grand a month. The fact he was such a quack he killed his employer before he could get paid only reaffirms the original point. Duhhhhhh.

Those who I DO NOT feel sorry for: his family! For them to not be there, everyday, fighting to protect Michael from Michael, yet now act so naive about it and even demand payment over his death is simply brass-balls brazenly idiotic to me!

I agree. The Jackson family are much more culpable than Dr. Murray. They were enablers who profited from propping Michael up so he could bring in more money. I have less respect for our justice system that was so readily and easily manipulated by this family and by celebrity-ism.

By having the D.A. investigate and prosecute, the Jackson family took the onus off themselves. The judge also appears to be extremely biased and I really dislike the way he milks the courtroom drama. He did not provide a substantial basis for remanding Dr. Murray into custody at the time of the verdict, but did it to appease the crowd.

It is also obscene that the Jacksons are pursuing restitution as part of the criminal case; too cheap to pursue it in civil court, I guess. This crummy judge will give them whatever they want.

There ya go. Jackson was a junkie and a pervert, and worthless as a “father.” His kids are better off now too.

My most lasting image of MJ is the time he stepped out on a balcony in Germany and dangled one of “his” children — then an infant -— over the edge as if he might drop the child. I don’t know if he ever faced charges for endangerment but he should have.

Like almost every celebrity, he got away with much more than any non-celebrity would.

He surely was a PERV and I never could see any evidence of "talent".

Jackson was a prime example of the decadence destroying Western civilization.
