The seven-man , five-woman California jury announced it's decision moments ago .
Dr. Murray sat stone-faced during the decision , which was greeted by a little cheering in court and a loud celebration outside the courthouse .
Among those who let out a brief yell in court , much to the judge's dismay , were Jermaine and Randy Jackson . La Toya Jackson and family friend Kathy Hilton wept .
Michael Jackson's parents , Joe and Katherine Jackson , remained silent .
Murray's mother and daughter , on the other hand , wept when the decision was read .
The verdict comes after a six-weeks-long trial that included testimony from 49 witnessesand hundreds of pieces of evidence concerning Jackson's 2009 death , cause by a lethal dose of propofol .
Dr. Murray will be sentenced on November 29 . He faces up to 4 years in jail .
The judge remainded Dr. Murray immediately into custody without the possibility of bail.
Murray was then handcuffed and lead out of court .
No one can exactly know what happened in Michael Jackson's life ... the true sad fact is that he's gone . Do you agree with te verdict ?
Really what it comes down to is whether or not Jackson administered the lethal dose to himself . If he did Murray is still responsible , he was Jackson's doctor ,If Murray administered it , he's guilty .
ReplyDeleteI didn't really follow the case , so I don't know any specifics on 'HOW' they determined he is the one who administered the dose .
But either way , this case was mishandled and turned into kind of a circus.
There is no law against administering propofol, but the prosecution's case rested on the argument that Dr Murray was grossly negligent by doing so outside a hospital setting and without the proper monitoring equipment.
ReplyDeleteDefense dropped the argument that Jackson drank the propofol, mid-trial. They never proved how he could administer it to himself intravenously. Ridiculous defense anyhow.
How's it goin Bill?
Hey Witchy, you stole my post. I luv ya anyway....Genie
PS: Mishandled...circus...Right on Bill.
ReplyDeleteTaking propofol by mouth wouldn't help Michael to sleep , it has to be taken intravenously to have an effect on him .
ReplyDeleteI too hope the family can find closure , especially the kids .
The Jacksons' well that's anyone's guess .
Jeannie , it's going better each day , getting closer to payday , I think I've been a very good boy .
