Prosecution to Dr. Conrad Murray Jury: Michael Jackson is Dead Because of HIM
Closing arguments are underway in the Dr. Conrad Murray trial, and prosecutors are hammering home their case that the embattled physician is guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the untimely 2009 death of Michael Jackson.
The defense will get to state its case again too, but it's not looking good.
The D.A. reiterated the list of evidence he says proves Murray's guilt:
- Murray violated sacred doctor-patient trust "each and every day."
- MJ was on his game June 24 in rehearsal, then dead June 25.
- MJ was a creative genius striving for perfection, a living legend.
- MJ had long term plans cut short for himself and his children.
- He wanted to go on tour one last time for his kids and his fans.
- Murray's failure to do his job caused the death of Michael Jackson.
- Criminal negligence is not about having an intent to cause harm.
- Dr. Murray made false statements by neglecting to mention Propofol.
- He knew what he did was wrong and displayed consciousness of guilt.
- He was in it for the money and overlooked obvious warning signs.
- Murray shipped Propofol to his girlfriend's apartment, not his clinic.
- Murray doesn't keep records but for some reason records MJ's voice.
- Two days later, Murray orders his largest drug shipment to date.
- At 10:00 a.m. on June 25, 2009, Jackson requested Propofol.
- After going to the bathroom, Murray saw MJ was not breathing.
- He does not call 911 because to do so would be neglecting MJ.
- He left a voicemail with Michael Amir Williams instead of calling 911.
- He was putting Conrad Murray first. Maybe hiding evidence.
- Murray was on a 23 minute call, suggesting MJ was on a drip.
- He put his own interests before his patient, who paid the price.
- He went into a police interview because he assumed cops found his bags in MJ's room, because a toxicology report would come out, and to do damage control.
- He came forward for the self preservation of Conrad Murray. He came forward to get ahead of the story. Unfortunately his story doesn't match the evidence.
- Propofol is used in a highly monitored setting. This is basic common sense. No one had ever heard of anyone using Propofol in a bedroom - ever - until this.
- Every single doctor says they'd never have done what he did.
- The exact timeline of the events of June 25, 2009 may never be know, but this is: MJ died of Propofol intoxication as a direct result of Murray's actions.
- MJ was not reckless. He had a life ahead of him. He had the means to get Propofol himself but he didn't. He wanted a doctor monitoring him at all times.
- Dr. Paul White, the defense "expert," presented nothing but junk science. It was disappointing. It was sad for science and moreover, for truth seeking.
- MJ trusted Conrad Murray. He trusted him with his life. He paid with it. Dr. Conrad Murray lied, deceived, obscured and most of all acted with negligence.
- Even if you accept the defense theory he is still responsible since it was entirely foreseeable. He is guilty of involuntary manslaughter because Conrad Murray abandoned his patient. Justice demands a guilty verdict.
The defense will try to argue that Michael Jackson killed himself. Whether they can convince enough jurors of that to free their client is another story.

Ashley I couldn't have said it any better I agree with you 100%.
There's far too many people judging Michael and like you said he isn't the one on trial here nor was Michael a perfect man.
No one is perfect and if they think so then they have issues they need to deal with themselves. This man did everything possible against the oath he took to become a physician. I can't imagine what he may have been thinking no decent doctor would have put themselves in such a position to lose their license.

Very well said by the prosecution!!! Pple who defend Murray are closing their eyes to the obvious evidence..,well it's all right there! Let's hope the verdict is what it's suppose to be..., Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter (meaning he is responsible for his death but did not intentionally kill him)

The prosecution made an excellent case. What people need to remember first and foremost, something that people often forgot over the years, is that Michael Jackson was a human being. He had his faults, but he was not the monster people pegged him to be. People are angry, wanting to say Michael was guilty of the crimes he was accused of in the past, even though there was NO evidence against him and plenty showing the families were all about money.
But that has nothing to do with this case. Michael Jackson is not on trial here. Conrad Murray is, and it has been proven time and time again that he was negligent, he didn't do what he should have done, and if he had done certain things differently, three kids might not be without a father today.
People need to get past this hangup on Michael Jackson. He was a flawed individual, but nobody is perfect. That does not give anybody, especially a licensed physician, to go lax on anything pertaining to him. It is NOT alright that he g
