Yesterday officially the defense rested its case and so the trial of Michael Jackson’s doctor closes. Each step along the way of this trial there have been highlighted events, of both, Michael’s life and the treatment he received by Dr. Murray or the lack of treatment, depending on what you believe. So, I shall give you my view of this Death of The King of Pop Trial.
Michael Jackson began his fame as a African American boy, singing with his brothers. Back then Michael sang like a bird, laughed hard and gave performances to this day still talked about. His and his brothers albums and records thrilled many young aged americans and the world. Their music and songs lit up Motown and the music business, like a rocket blasting off does a launch pad. Then time flew by and Michael grew older and more estranged from the public and his family. His skin tone changed, his appearance was altered by surgery and make up and tattoos. Next we see a grown up Michael, as a teen and young adult, lighter skin tones and longer straight hair, doing Beat IT and other songs he make classic in American Music.
Then suddenly he disappears once more from the public scene and returns with a whiter face and skin, tattooed eyebrows and liner around his eyes, his nose changed and costumed each time in public like he is living in WonderLand. We find him charged with child molestation and a nervous wreck facing a trial by his peers. No such luck folks, although acquitted finding his peers wasn’t easy and it was never done.
He married, Lisa Marie a childhood friend of his and Elvis‘s daughter cementing his claim as the King of Pop, even though the marriage does not last. He then marries Dr. Klien’s assistant Debbie Rowe and has her give him children. So far he is doing fine, right?
But his addictions started way back in the Pepsi fire in his hair and the fixes the Doctors gave him then. Demeral addiction builds slowly as does addictions to pain pills the longer you take them the longer it takes to get off of them. By the time we see Micheal Jackson in 2009 he has been charged with crimes and acquitted, he has been surgically altered to look completely different from who he was born as, and his actions are indeed slowed by drugs and age.
Now the courts must give a case to the jury. The jury must decide did Conrad Murray as a Doctor, commit involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson, through medical malpractice? I say the blame goes two ways for Michael’s death and demise. Both halves are guilty in many ways. Michael shopped for a doctor to get him what he wanted and he paid him by contract $150,000.00 a month to supply him with what he wanted and to administrate it nightly and daily to him safely, so he could sleep and feel good when he awoke. No one pays a Doctor that kind of money and then makes him administrate it all in their bedroom, unless what he is doing is wrong and just to feed his own addictions. No one has this kind of contract with their Doctor and no Doctor who lives and works by the medical and legal ethics and standards of a Doctor takes on such a job. So both are guilty of something in their own right, Michael and Conrad Murray.
As the Jackson’s await like the rest of us, the verdict the jury shall give out within weeks, they still refuse to acknowledge any blame Michael had in his own death. The Jackson’s are indeed a loyal, loving caring family and will deny Michael did anything wrong till they all die. But the bottom line is indeed, simple, Michael paid a Doctor to administrate the drugs and control him. So Michael was wrong to even be requesting such a thing, never mind paying for it.
But, on the other hand a Doctor who should have known better, who broke all standards of care and ethics by administrating this at Michael’s request is wrong too. You don’t just give controlled drugs to addicts or patients, and walk away, nor do you ever administer the drugs he did, in a home environment. So in the end I believe Conrad Murray should at least, lose his medical licenses and spend at least sometime in prison or jail for the Death of MJ.
