Dr. Conrad Murray is the Fall Guy

Both Michael Jackson's family and his fans require closure. I understand this. Was this accomplished by convicting Dr. Conrad Murray? I don't think so. Closure will only be accomplished when all the people responsible for Michael Jackson's death are convicted. This is not likely to happen. Who else is responsible? All the doctors who inappropriately prescribed medications for Michael Jackson. Who started Michael on the Propofal in the first place? Who prescribed Michael Jackson his Demerol? What was the role of the promoters in all this?

Should Dr. Conrad Murray have been convicted? Yes, but what about all the others? With Michael Jackson's medical history it was just a matter of time before something went seriously wrong. Although Dr. Conrad Murray was definitely negligent in this case he was simply the wrong doctor in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Somewhere along the line Dr. Conrad Murray forgot about his professional obligations. He became both an employee and a friend of Michael Jackson's. This overrided the fact that Dr. Conrad Murray was Michael's doctor. Dr. Murray should first of all have been made this his number one role. I can easily see how Michael Jackson could convince Dr. Murray to give him the Propofal. I'm sure that Dr. Murray could understand Michael's position. The problem was that Dr. Murray was too sympathetic to Michael's situation. Michael Jackson had a serious problem getting to sleep at night. This wasn't the first time that Michael resorted to extreme measures to try to get some rest. At 50 years old Michael Jackson had a lot on the line. There were many people who dependent upon him. They depended upon him to fulfill his contractual obligations to the promoters. I don't think that Michael Jackson was near healthy enough to fulfill these obligations. Michael felt that the only way he would be able to get through his performances and rehearsals was to get some sleep by any means possible., Unfortunately, Michael Jackson convinced Dr. Conrad Murray to resort to extreme measures with tragic consequences.
