[askyourgran]

No, but I feel a bit sorry for him.

[boxtops]

According to yahoo, people are asking for Conrad Murray costumes for Hallowe'en.

[anneasquith]

ayg, why do you feel sorry for him ?

[237SJ]

No, but I have watched it on HLN. Yes I agree it`s fascinating.

[ladybirder]

I've seen quite a bit of it and so far, especially today, it looks pretty damning for him.

[vodkancoke]

I watched it last night. A cardiologist was on tearing the Murray's team apart. I just think the poor guy panicked (sp) although you would think a doc could cope with that.

[THECORBYLOON]

I've been watching it and it seems that even if what Murray said were true, he'd be negligent and his lawyers look like they're floundering.

[DaisyNonna]

Who?

[ladybirder]

Just what you need when you're in trouble, a panicky doctor.

[THECORBYLOON]

He's the doctor who had been treating Michael Jackson.

[237SJ]

I wish I could comment but I haven`t been here to follow the court case. When I watched the court case, it was at the beginning of the trial and Conrad Murray came out quite well. The worm has obviously turned.

[askyourgran]

Who is to say what Michael Jackson ordered Conrad Murray to give him, he might have already taken some other drugs before the Doc gave him the one that finished him off? The Doctor could have given him a placebo I suppose, if there is such a thing in America. MJ was hooked on medication it was said he couldn't sleep and he was fretful, calling the doctor to help him. As Conrad was the only person with Jackson, calling the ambulance, it stands to reason he will be made an example of. Killing the Great MJ will make better headlines than saying he was a drug dependent weirdo.

[THECORBYLOON]

A doctor is meant to care for his patient, if Jackson had asked for inapprpriate medication, then Murray should have refused it.

CM took a risk for the huge reward, (£150k) and kudos of working for an icon. As a doc he knew he was addicting MJ to propofol.

[askyourgran]

I agree corbyloon, he should have shown better care for his patient. There seemed to be stacks of different drugs in the room. I haven't followed this story closely, but I think the writing is on the wall for the doc whatever is said at his trial, it looks like a no-win position for him.

[kinkajou2]

It has been stated here before - there are any number of Doctor Feelgoods
available to the stars in La-La Land - poor Conrad is a patsy - he was in the
wrong place,wrong time - He accepted the poisoned chalice,for lots of cash
and prestige! Hey! thems the breaks!

[trt]

What channel number is it on?

[weecalf]

I think its a real THRILLER ,GET IT ,Now LEAVE me alone .

[THECORBYLOON]

It's on Sky news on Freeview from 5-ish on weekdays but they're not sitting to-morrow and they have breaks for ads every ten -fifteen minutes but. There are various sites streaming it live on the internet

[ladybirder]

If my memory serves me right he had 6 chances to save MJ and didn't take any of them and when he eventually called 911 he didn't tell the paramedics what drugs he had given him. According to witnesses called for the prosecution MJ could have and should have been saved. CM was busy shovelling drugs from MJ's bedroom into his bags.
Of course we are only hearing one side of the story at present.
