@spendius,
Quote:Which laws are you claiming Dr Murray violated? I feel sure he did his very best for MJ.
If you don't even know what specific law he was charged under, and which he was subsequently convicted of violating, what the hell are you doing in this thread?
You didn't watch or closely follow the trial, you are unfamiliar with the crime he was charged with, you seem unacquainted with all of the evidence the jury considered in reaching it's unanimous verdict, and you further seem ignorant of medical malpractice issues and ethical and appropriate standards of medical care, as defined by the medical profession, as well as state law, which help to define Murray's gross negligence, yet you think this was a "show trial", with a biased judge, and "shyster lawyers" that pinned an innocent man to the wall and convicted him?
Do you really expect anyone to take your remarks seriously?
A medical "accident" due to a doctor's extreme negligence is definitely malpractice, and, in some instances, a doctor's reckless and extremely negligent actions are additionally considered criminal--particularly when they kill someone--and that's what this trial was about. It focused on one doctor's actions, as well as his failures to act, all of which involved gross negligence and reckless indifference for the welfare of another, and which resulted in that person's death, and a jury decided that the doctor's actions were consistent with California law regarding involuntary manslaughter.
And the trial is over.
Dr. Murray's lawyers can, and probably will, appeal the verdict, based on issues such as the evidence which the judge excluded prior to trial--none of which had anything to do with Conrad Murray's behavior with regard to Jackson.
I doubt they will be successful because they'd have to convincingly argue that the outcome, the verdict, would have been different if that evidence had been allowed. Since it all had to do with other doctors who treated Jackson, it really wouldn't significantly affect how the jury viewed Murray's actions regarding MJ's death. But, it's probably the only argument the defense can make, so they'll give it a shot.
And, you'll have to wait for an appeal decision to see which way it goes. But Dr Murray's legal rights are being fully protected.

For your sake, I hope you are never treated by a doctor who acts as recklessly or negligently as this one did in caring for his patient.
