Michael Jackson Found Deceased 6/25/09 -- Dr. Conrad Murray Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

I will be watching this tomorrow, watched all the trial of Conrad Murray and i hope he doesnt get probation!

ukgirl, I will be watching too.

I watched the entire trial. The days I had to be out of town, I recorded it on InSession & HLN. So during commercial breaks, I could see what I missed on one of two channels!

I found the forensics testimony very educational. I like forensics and I was glued to the TV or my computer! lol

Dr. Murray's proven deviations from the Standard of Care were shocking! At least 17 were sited and proven in a court of law.

It is expected his license to practice medicine in the State of Texas will be terminated. (Note: The State of California Medical Board has no bearing on the decision by the State of Texas. I do not intend to imply that CA does.)

With his guilty verdict, he lost the right to practice medicine in the State of California per Judge Pastor.

I have not monitored the State of Nevada regarding his medical license status.

Dr. Murray has been under the radar of the State of Texas Medical Board for some time and I do continue to check it on a regular basis.

My prediction:

Judge Pastor will sentence him to 4 years in prison but he will probably have to serve it in county jail because CA has some critical overcrowding prison issues at this time.

I also think Judge Pastor will order him to pay the children of Michael Jackson some compensation for the loss of their dad.

We shall see . . . . . tomorrow!

OTRC is set up and ready to start streaming the sentencing live:

Ann lol i watched the trail on sky news but mum and i was getting irritated by the fact that sky news kept going to breaks every 10 mins, and we were missing some grrr, so i found a live streaming online, on my lap top, each time sky went to break we would run to the kitchen, to watch the live streaming, then when sky came back on we ran back to the TV room, which has a large screen. We were back and forth all night lol

I too thought the forensics testimony was really interesting and educational. Just checked sky news and they are covering the sentencing from 4.30, but ive got my lap at hand! I think Dr Murray will get 4 years..

Judge Michael Pastor was awesome!

He sentenced Conrad Murray to the maximum sentence of 4 years. Because of CA's prison issues and recent changes in criteria for prison, CM is remanded to the Los Angeles County Jail. He will serve his sentence in the County Jail.

Regarding restitution to the children of MJ, etc., there is a Restitution Hearing scheduled for Monday, January 23, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. PST.

Judge Pastor gave CM the opportunity to waive his appearance at the Restitution Hearing and any related hearings.

Murray waived his right to appear in court on 1-23-12!

Aww Ann thank you for the link but i missed it, i was too late, sadly.

Agree, Judge pastor was really awesome! and not forgetting the jury, prosecutors & Dr shafer during the trial...

Official: Conrad Murray will only serve 2 years of 4-year sentence

By Casey Glynn

(CBS/AP) LOS ANGELES - Sheriff's officials in L.A. County say Conrad Murray will serve about two years of his four-year sentence, The Los Angeles Times reports.

Although officers are still trying to determine the details of Murray's incarceration, under California state law nonviolent felons serve only 50 percent of their sentences due to over-crowding, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told The Times.

Conrad Murray: I'm broke and need a court-appointed attorney

December 14, 2011 | 12:08 pm

Los Angeles Times - Los Angeles, CA

Surrounded by a team of lawyers and experts during his closely watched trial, Michael Jackson’s former doctor is on his own for his appeal.

Dr. Conrad Murray filed papers this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court saying he is broke and needs the government to pay for a lawyer to handle the appeal of his involuntary manslaughter conviction.

“The defendant is indigent and respectfully requests the appointment of counsel on appeal,” Murray wrote in a filing Tuesday, listing his address as Men’s Central Jail.

Prosecutors Oppose Conrad Murray's Bail Bid

1:21 PM, Feb 22, 2012

LOS ANGELES -- Michael Jackson's doctor was properly sentenced to four years behind bars in the star's death and should not be released on bail, prosecutors argued Tuesday in a response to his bid for release while his case is appealed.

Conrad Murray would be a danger to the community and a flight risk if he was released on bail or on his own recognizance with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, Deputy District Attorneys David Walgren and Deborah Brazil said.

Conrad Murray to stay in jail during Michael Jackson death appeal

February 24, 2012 | 10:47am

Los Angeles Times - Los Angeles, CA


A judge ruled Friday that the doctor convicted in Michael Jackson’s death must remain behind bars while lawyers appeal his case.

Dr. Conrad Murray had asked to be released from jail, where he is serving two years for manslaughter, but Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor denied the bail motion, saying the physician was a flight risk.

Excellent ruling by Judge Pastor! He is right when he says that Murray is a danger to society, a flight risk and if he were to go to another country, he might be allowed to practice medicine.

Great decision and ruling, Judge Pastor!

I am so happy that Texas will not allow Murray to practice medicine in TX. I was monitoring the status of Murray with the State of Texas Medical Board and it made my day a few weeks ago when I saw that Murray can not practice medicine in Tx.

Prosecutor in Conrad Murray case is appointed a judge

Los Angeles Times - Los Angeles, CA





A Los Angeles County deputy district attorney who helped win the conviction of Michael Jackson's personal physician was appointed a judge Friday.

David Walgren, the lead prosecutor at last year's trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, was among eight attorneys named to the L.A. County Superior Court bench by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Wishing the very best to David Walgren. I watched the Dr. Murray trial and I think David did an outstanding job. He will make a good judge!

Initially I had no intentions of watching the Dr. Conrad Murray trial. KZ, a former Hinky Meter member, wrote a series of articles that were posted on Sprocket's Trials and Tribulations.

KZ provided me the Link and I read every word. Riveting. KZ has a flair for writing whereby she can convey, to the reader, in terms they can understand and follow.

KZ's articles involved medical technology yet I was able to follow as she even provided screen shots of what she was referencing.

I am so glad I read the articles because after I finished, I could hardly wait for the trial to start.

Without a doubt, KZ imparted her knowledge to the reader of the articles. I had no problem following the trial.

Propofol. Never forget it! I really think Walgren must have read KZ's articles because of what he presented during the trial.

KZ, wherever you are . . . thank you!
