Circus is a perfect description of this trial. I'm sure there will be many who disagree with me, but I think both Michael Jackson and Conrad Murray are guilty of this senseless death.
I'm not disputing his talents or contributions, but Michael Jackson seems to have had a very serious addiction to prescription drugs. The term "doctor shopping" is used in the U.S. (and possibly elsewhere) to describe people who go to multiple doctors seeking pain medication. Patients on legal controlled substances are all required to sign contracts stating that all of their pain management needs are to be handled by one doctor. All prescriptions are to be filled in one pharmacy (unless given special permission while on vacation, etc.). Mr. Jackson seems to have violated that agreement (if he was ever even made to sign one) again and again. I could go on and on about that topic alone. But suffice it to say, he had a major problem, which was compounded by the fact that doctors were so enamored by his fame and attracted to his money that they gave him ridiculous amounts of medication in multiple names.
Then you have Dr. Conrad Murray. He was one of those doctors who was sucked into the vortex of the Jackson world and threw all common sense, along with the Hippocratic oath, right out the window. Even people who aren't trained medically can see that his actions and/or lack of proper actions contributed to the death of his patient.
What I can't understand are all of the people, with signs and tears outside of the court house. I have never quite understood how people can become so starstruck by a person that they would spend their days waiting outside of a courthouse for a verdict. I can see admiring people for their talents and supporting them through attending concerts, buying C.D.'s, etc. But don't these people know that even celebrities put their pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us.
I apologize for "waxing eloquent" (jeje), but the bottom line is, you are correct. It is a circus with three rings. In ring number one we have the addiction and behavior of Michael Jackson. In ring number two we have a totally incompetent doctor (at least in this case). And in ring number three, we have the people spending days and nights (possibly missing work, etc.) all to support a person who is no longer with us.
All three rings are directed by the ring leader, namely the media. The whole thing is sad on many levels. I feel mostly sorry for his innocent children.
Yes I am resurrecting this
Why?
Because I think an injustice has been done to a doctor.
His patient died because he was a drug addict and his family did not help him.
The family wanted Conrad Murray to be accused of something worse than "Involuntary Manslaughter" What ? Murder!
And now they want to stop him explaining his position.
From the BBC
The Jackson estate has written to MSNBC asking that they "exercise proper judgement and refrain from airing this programme".
"Like so many of Michael's fans, the estate is... disgusted by MSNBC's irresponsible and inexplicable decision to air a Conrad Murray 'documentary'," it said.
What a load of cobblers !
BUT it is OK for CNN to interview Michael Jackon's brother (who has just published a book about Michael Jackson) and who repeatedly said that Conrad Murray was a Coward and a liar !!!
I just don't like trial by television and money.
4 years in prison!!
Michael Jackson was killed by his family who did not protect him,.
Now they want $million in compensation.
Disgusting !
There is a guy named Conrad Murray that comes in to eat lunch almost everyday at my restaurant. White guy, sits in the smoking section and smokes it up, business man with lots of other high class businessman. Lately I discovered another Conrad Murray and I was like, woah. Can you believe that two guys have the name Conrad Murray? So strange.
