Why is he being held accountable for Michael's death to begin with? My doctor and television tell me that aspirin are good for my headaches, but if I decide I want to off myself by overdosing on aspirin, are my doctor, husband, brother, sister, or any other member of my family to be held accountable. What happen to the consequences of our own actions in this country?

I agree 11:11. I think that was a BS case, trial, and verdict. The guy was charged only because it was Michael Jackson. I like Michael's music but he lost complete favor in my eyes after the molestation came out. Good riddance. He was a disgusting excuse for a person, famous or not.

Someone had to pay for Michael Jackson's death....why not the doctor. This is the shadiest case I have seen in a while, the "proforol" (however it is spelled) expert of the world...like who knows that? Docotor Conrad Murray took the rap because the family and America needed someone to blame.

This doctor provided Michael Jackson with a drug that is illegal to use outside of an operating room. The drug has ZERO medical benefits outside of surgery. That alone constitutes a conviction. I didn't care for Michael Jackson, but this is an easy case. Yes, Michael probably would have eventually died from some drug induced trauma, but that is no excuse to provide a junkie with an illegal drug. Period.

2:34 said it perfectly. the doctor was irresponsible, thus the "involuntary manslaughter" and not a "murder" conviction.

I had surgery three weeks ago and Propofol was used to start anesthesia. It's nasty stuff and feels weird going through your veins and arterys. I can not imagine someone using it as a sleep aid; it just doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. He was a drug user and a heavy user at that. His body did not respond to normal drugs.
