I can't understand some of the comments posted here. Michael Jackson may have been a drug addict, however, he is not on trial. Conrad Murray administered an anesthetic to the man in his home without the proper equipment in place. Murray is a poor excuse for a doctor and should be given the maximum penalty. Just because a patient asks for a drug does NOT mean the doctor should give it to them.

I AGREE WITH SHELLY

In my opinion, the doctor did NOT honor his oath. He "voluntarily" broke many of the rules when he administered an anesthetic to MJ in his home without the proper procedures in place. Regardless of whether MJ was addicted to drugs or not...he is a doctor and should not have done what he did. Yes, if MJ was addicted to drugs, he might have gotten another doctor to administer the anesthetic, but Murray is the one who actually did it, so he should pay for his stupidity and hunger for money with time in prison. Being a drug addict is not a crime...being an irresponsible doctor who contributes to a patient's death is.

& btw, im not excusing Murray, b/c he SHOULD HAVE known better. He def dont need 2 b a Dr. Way 2 money hungry

& like i said, MJ was a grown man, who was doin' drugs b4 Murray came along. Pills r already a rough drug,& once they stop help'n ur pain, u move 2 sumthn else. F MJ loved his kids...SAY NO 2 DRUGS!!! Take responsibility 4 ur own actions. Murray shud b chargd wit sumthn, jus NOT inv.manslt. I guarantee u that MJ had other Dr's, even BEFORE Murray came along
