The People Vs. Conrad Murray/MJ Trial: The Verdict and The Sentencing

I thought I would start a new thread cause I figure when the jury comes back with its verdict, which I honestly think will be tomorrow(Friday), alot of people will be flooding to the topic with their opinions.

N as with a popular thread, like the first one, trolls will appear. Since this is the start of the weekend Im not going to have time to keep telling people to focus on the trial and its outcome. So please reign it in and lets not get emotional no matter what the outcome. There is a sticky for that.

Thank you.

can you define troll?

Because on the last thread a "troll" was someone who had a different opinion to your own.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Wow after watching this whole thing I really don't know if the people have proven their case without a reasonable doubt hmmm I have no doubt that murray has some responsibility and is a small part of a bigger issue surrounding Michael Jackson. But is he solely responsible for his death? I don't know.

If you are saying that then I have fear that lay people on the jury may come to the same conclusion.

Not criticizing you Nursev... just saying. neutral

I still think Murray will walk.

Seriously, I'm a nurse and I'm saying that! Murray has some responsibility, but considering the victims history and all the other players surrounding him I do believe others share some responsibility including Michael and yes he is dead so he's paid his dues. But if I was sitting on this jury honestly I don't know if I could convict. I think he will walk too.

Do you think that there is possibility that Conrad Murray's negligence was not related to MJ's death in any shape or form based on the cases presented? (Not on what was discussued or based on your previous knowledge.)

lol CONrad

If there was a history, he did not take it into account or assess him like he should have. And after that recording, he still ordered all that Propofol.

I had no idea that even calling 911 had to go through security-so there still would have been a delay in getting help. Is there a lessor charge than manslaughter? Murray is negligent, but did his actions solely cause Michael's death?

If he did CPR and called 911 and MJ didn't survive, it wouldn't have been as bad as it got,but he wasted those precious moments.

I am trying to prepare myself for the verdict. Even tho the prosecution put on a strong case, the verdict could go either way. Many think he will be convicted, but there is still a possibility that they could rule that he was not guilty. Or there could even be a hung jury.

Wasn't he attempting cpr though improper techniques and had to get security to clear a 911 call? Crazy! Then again he shouldve just called from that iphone lol he is negligent, but not solely responsible imho.

He should have called from one of his phones, and he used improper techniques. I caught someone on the board saying Murray did the right thing not moving MJ to the hard surface on the ground cause first aid teaches you to work on the patient how you found them, but from what I remember, you do that if the patient is found unconscious and something heavy on them that may have fallen on them, and you do CPR on them but not move them until they are hooked up to something.

During the 2005 trial, was the verdict given on the same day as the deliberations? I was so sure they had a day, but my memory fails me cause I was staying away from the TV and attending classes, so I found out a few hours after.

From my experience unless there is something traumatic or a possible neck/spine injury-they are put on the floor or a back board. I put them on the floor if the situation warrants that. Murray is what 6 foot 5 and 270 lbs he could have easily put MJ on the floor.

One bad move with the spinal cord and it could mess everything up, I agree.

I was even more upset about that trial than this one though he was taken in an awful way, I still can't admit he's gone, and I'm still not over the accusations, that one makes me angry the most. Not only cause he was set up, but cause he trusted the wrong people and I allowed myself to get burnt out from defending him, and loving him hurts too much when I had to do it over and over :*( :*( :*( That one was horrifying and I prayed for him everyday, now I just hope his children are okay, no one can hurt him anymore, I see no use, it's the jurors that need prayers.

Also I have noticed that in facilities ativan is given at least four hours apart. The most I have given is two 2mg tablets in an 8 hour period so I don't know what the hell Murray was thinking giving Michael all this ativan so close together-stupid and deadly.

The IV version of 4 mg right? I know one pill is about .5, so that's where the 8 pills BS came from from the defense. I have taken ativan in the past, just one pill and it makes you so tired, only a wacko would give it in an IV form and then make claims he took the 8 while leaving it there for him, though we know he didn't do it. It still makes Murray look irresponsible.

The thought of him going to jail was just so awful sad sad I wish people would let it die down, but I feel so sorry for those who were not old enough to remember him as we do though I do believe it's changed a great deal and that there were always people out there of different ages who enjoyed him.

0.5 or 2mg is enough to knock anybody on their ass! It also depends on age and weight. Remember MJ was skinny for his height so there is no way I'd be giving him all these pills or iv ativan then some propofol on top of that. MJ is a skinny 50 year old man there is no way his body could get rid of all these drugs in that 8 or 10 hour time frame.

Everybody loved Michael-yes even his haters! I think that half the jury are his fans. I think he is loved more in death than when he was alive which is sad. People realize that they lost the greatest entertainer ever! Yes I have always been a Prince fan, but Michael was the greatest!

Yeah I knew lots of people who loved his music over the years, even during really bad times, and I would support him too publicly though it was painful like sticking up for someone I knew. It was nice performing to him, and then people remembering that when he passed away and asking if I'm ok, cause it makes me feel like I did my part in helping people remember why we love him instead of for the negative shit happening back then. A lot of people who knew I was a fan were supportive, only a couple of peope were insensitive....but I got a little upset when a kid, though she liked him, tried to tell me she remembered me being into him and asked if I still am,and then said she thought of me when he died, but felt kinda creepy for it. I told her it's a compliment not a bad thing,but it made me really sad about her age, cause there is no way anyone old enough to remember michael would even say that.

And yeah, he always will be, and his only competition onstage is Prince! Onstage, Prince is an all around musician, and MJ is the ultimate entertainer. Though I prefer Michael of the two, I've swung the other way several times.

^not to get off the subject of the verdict, but I have never believed Michael molested anybody! All a smear campaign/witch hunt. It is sad that younger people will never experience MJ as his older fans did. With that being said, if murray is guilty I hope he pays.
