Max 4 years for involuntary manslaughter,not a bad touch for him if he's been wise enough to hide all the money.
He'll loose his license as well but shouldnt need to work again anyway.

What money ? He was in the job for 3 months on $100,000 per month,but he hadnt actually been paid any money when Jacko croaked, and still hasnt been paid. Never will be now either.

What happened to the doctor used by wacko before murray ?

Wacko had been using various forms of shall we say "medication" for years 
Did he see the light and get out ?
Was he called too give evidence for or against wacko ?

Also heard some news this morning saying that if he did receive that sentence there would be a reasonably high chance he would be out in a matter of months due to their overcrowded prisons!

Even if he didn't actually do it I suspect the 'wolves, baying for blood' would of found some way to convict him regardless.  The screaming hoardes demanded someone be found guilty!

[Bionic]

Obviously it was the publicity that ran this case. It looked as if there would be riots if he was found innocent and so the guilty verdict arrived.
Thank F we live in a country where the law is the law and publicity cannot interfere with a trial.
Wacko should have been certified years ago and put where he could not endager himself.
I will always believe that he administered the fatal dose himself because the doc refused.......
Hope he gets probation but no doubt he will get the full 4 years.
Thats the yank justice system for you. (did I say Yank or did I mean with a W?)

One way or the other he was guilty as he was employed as jackos doctor and thus responsible for his well being,in which he clearly failed in his duty.
Was on 150k per month and his story is being touted around the networks for whatever he can get ( maybe up to a million ) no doubt his lawyers will be taking a big chunk of that though.

They are itching to let the media into our courts at the moment, though.

Then again, whilst I didn't follow it at all, I would have thought this would be a pretty cut and dried case. Did he prescribe a level of drugs that was enough to kill, or not?

If a doctor prescribes drugs that harm a patient, he's responsible. If he didn't, well, it's the patient's problem, surely?

i think it was more to do with what he administered.... i.e. yes, he gave him a fatal dose but it was of an aneasthetic that should never have been given to treat insomnia in the first place!

He was infusing Propafol - an aneasthetic drug used in operating theatres, and never in a home situation. He bought literally gallons of the stuff.His only defence was that he wasnt in the room and that Jacko must have woken up and given himself a large shot of the stuff through the IV in his leg.
Even if that is true,he shouldnt have left the patient unattended, and should as a matter of course had him wired up to heart monitors etc as he would have been had he been in hospital and treated with the same drug.
He also delayed calling the emergency services for almost half an hour after Jacko stopped breathing,as he wanted to try to sort it out himself wiothout any repurcussions.He then cleared the evidence of the medication from the room and didnt inform the ambulance crew or doctors of what he had been injecting him with.
Guilty as sin. A complete dereliction of duty. If his first priority wasnt to cover his own arse, the medics could almost certainly have revived Jacko.

that just further shows how negligent he was.... jacko in charge of his own doses whilst CM goes for a piss! wtf???

In the best traditions of US justice, no doubt the Dr would had got away with it if he had played American football.

Whilst i accept Jackson has a HUGE following & talent musically i don't get it but i'm not into twinkly pop/pap music & all our tastes differ. I've never liked the bloke. I think he's a freak & a deluded idiot, let's face it some of his behavior was questionable to say the least so who'se to say he did'nt pressure Murray in any way? Let's face it he was fricking weird. Not a bad hearted bloke by any means but still a bit of a cock if we're honest! However it's still a loss of life & family & friends who are grieving have my sympathies, lost Mum in July so i understand the hopeless empty feeling.

  Hard to say what if anything Murray is guilty of. Judging by his past Jackson could've done anything, who can say for sure? I doubt Murray deliberately killed him but he may be guilty of negligence & will of course be struck off & no longer practice. What with the emotion fuelled fans & the publicity bandwagon that is the US legal system Murray never stood a chance. He may be responsible to a degree but that Jackson was such a freak that it would've happened sooner or later.

   Even if he's not paid any outstanding wages Murray will cash in on the story before his release. Sadly i fear some fan who is equally out of touch with reality as Jackson was will get to him during his sentance or on his release.... If i where a doctor i would'nt have taken the job on in the first place for any money!!!!
