Michael Jackson’s Death Ruled a Homicide
Somebody is going down for this one (Dr. Conrad Murray). The final ruling of the Los Angeles County coroner was that Michael Jackson’s death was a homicide. The coroner determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died in his rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released.
I guess this is the reality of what money can make happen. If you have it, people are willing to do things for you that don’t make any sense at all. I think they are really going to try and make an example of Dr. Murray. The list of celebrities going to prison is growing and people are being reminded that no one is above the law. No matter how much you’re worth. He’s definitely not helping the cause.
Here’s the article from the Associated Press.

We have to give the man his due: Michael Jackson was – beyond a shadow of a doubt – a great artist whose recorded legacy will endure for decades, maybe even a century or more. But an examination of his life is riddled with questions of all that might have been; all that should have been. It is more than likely that this was a severely mentally ill human being who never sought the treatment he so desperately needed; surrounded by fawning sycophants who enabled his sickness by constantly reassuring him that he could do no wrong. As John Lennon once said in the same context about Elvis Presley, another victim of the excesses of fame: “It’s always the courtiers that kill the king”.
The sad, inescapable truth is that for reasons we will probably never be able to fully understand, his talent and his career were ultimately wasted. Like Charlie Parker, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland and Lenny Bruce before him, his brilliance as an artist would be overshadowed by severe, psychological torment and an unexplainable desire for self-destruction. Therein lies the real, unspeakable tragedy of Michael Jackson.

Tom, very well said. Thanks for your comment.
Although most people considered Michael Jackson to be broke, he still had more money than most of us will probably ever see. With that, you can make some things happen that most people can’t. I think the doctor is getting the blame because he should have said ‘No’. Sure Mike may have gone elsewhere, but at least he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in now. This might be a long drawn out case.
Tell me what you're thinking...
