I believe it is bad that someone could be so addicted to a drug that he would do that. But the doctor still gave it to him knowing that he was addicted and knowing that he would take it. It is a shame that Michael is dead he was a monster on the dance floor. His music will still be played for the next 50 years. And so will his dance moves.
I Think the doctor is guilty of involuntary manslaughter to Michael. The Doctor was in charge of his health and knew what that drug did to people. The doc gave him the drug because supposedly he was addicted to it. If he was why would the doctor give him some? If he chose not to give Michael any, he might still be living and off that medication. The doc should be the one who gets charged with the murder of Michael Jackson.
I still can't believe Michael Jackson is dead. Yes, I do believe the doctor is guilty of involuntary man slaughter. He knew that giving Michael those drugs together would be harmful to him. He knew Michael was addicted to those drugs. Therefore, he shouldn't have given Michael access to those drugs to begin with. But, also Michael was addicted to the drugs and it was partly his fault.
My reaction to this video is very sad. I do think the doctor is guilty. I think this because the doctor should had helped Michael and not had given him the medicine even though he wanted it. They say that he might had given him self the extra dose later, BUT, if the doctor was smart he would had put the medicine where Michael would not had been able to get it. It's sad that he died because he had concerts that he was getting ready for, and they were all sold out.
I believe that the doctor will be guilty of involuntary manslaughter. He shouldn't have a gave Michael the drug even if he wanted it. The doctor should have known what was happening to Michael Jackson's health. The doctor could have went to a higher administration to help Michael Jackson's addiction to these drugs that were given to him. I believe that the truth will come to the suface.
Yes I do thank that the doctor is guilty for manslaughter of Michael Jackson’s death. Because the doctor could of put that up where he could of not got it. So that is why I say that the doctor Is guilty. He was the one that had control of it and he was spos to watch his pashent . if he did that he would not be dead.

This video is shocking. I think the doctor is guilty of his death. The doctor should not of giving Michael the medicine in the first place. Michael wouldn’t over dose and kill himself. Michael had music that everybody loved. Fifty is a young age to be died. He was good at entertaining people with his music now he is died.
The video was very interesting. I believe that the doctor is guilty all the way. It seems that Michael's death was planned to happen, it’s so sad I never thought anybody would hurt such a sweet man. But if the doctor cared so much about Michael’s life he would tired to help him out and hide the drug instead of leaving it out for him to take it and use it, as I say this was planned because he knew how bad he wanted it and he still left it out.
No matter how addicted your patient may be to a drug, under no circumstance should you give them any drug on demand. If the doctor wasn’t smart enough to consider the outcome, then he shouldn’t have been a doctor at all. Therefore, I think he is guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Michael did increase his dosage on his on terms, but if the doctor was truly trying to get him off of it, why was he still prescribing? The doctor, without a doubt, knows what happened and should face jail time.
I think it is shocking both the picture and the actions of Michael Jackson and his doctor. His doctor knew about his drug problem so I do think he is guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Also his doctor knew of Jackson’s drug problem so he should have stopped giving it to him or have taken him to a rehabilitation center. It is not just his fault though it was also Michael's because he shouldn’t have taken toxic doses of those medicines. The Jackson family has to realize that it wasn’t just his doctor’s fault but it was also Michael's.
I believe the trial of Michael Jackson’s death is one that may never be solved. Both the prosecutor and the defense have good arguments and supportive details to back them up. The idea that the doctor shouldn’t have given him a drug so addicting in the first place, seeing and hearing him drugged up on the Propofol, and still prescribing it to him is unethical and would indeed make the doctor guilty of involuntary manslaughter. On the other hand, if the doctor really was trying to weed Michael Jackson off of the Propofol by just giving him a small dose and then he took more by himself, that would mean the doctor was working ethically and with his patient’s best interests at hand. The difficult aspect of this trial is that there were no other witnesses at the time besides the doctor and Michael Jackson, one of which is no longer alive.
Nobody made Michael take the medicine, I’m pretty sure Conrad Murry didn't force it down his throat. We are all given prescriptions in our life and just because we have it doesn't mean we are going to take it the wrong way. No doctor knows if the patient is going to use the drug to kill their self. Let’s face it Michael would have found the medicine even if Conrad had not given it to him. Conrad prescribed the medicine to him, but not for him to take it all at once. I think he should be proven not guilty!
I was very scared watching this video. Never, had I heard Michael talk the way he did, and that scared me a lot. I think the doctor is guilty, for his actions. He knew that the drug he gave Michael wasn't prescribed to him but giving it to him anyway, and giving him way too much, just took it over the top, and he should be punished. Nevertheless, I’m happy they reached a verdict and that he is doing time, because he deserves it.
Keith Bryant: Michael Jackson, the best entertainer of all time. His style of music and dance changed the world’s perception on anything dace or music related. It was a tragic day of his death; his doctor should not have given him the drug in the first place. This drug is used as a hypnotic, or in other words it is used for anesthesia only. The doctor had to tale some oath to save lives not to ruin them. He should be guilty in the court of law because their was no clinical use for this drug in Michael.
My reaction to this video is that I am very shocked that Conrad Murray's lawyers are saying that he gave it to himself after Conrad Murray had already given him a dose of Propofol. I think he is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, because he kept giving MJ Propofol even after he saw they way it made him act. I also think that the doctor could have been blackmailing MJ, because why would someone record a person in a drugged out state? I really hope that he gets more than 4 years for giving MJ the Propofol. The picture of Micheal Jackson is really shocking to me.
I think it’s pretty sad when a doctor knows you are addicted to a drug and then you beg for it so the doctor gives you a little bit to wing you off of it and then you turn around and overdose on it. I think the doctor is guilty for involuntary manslaughter and for his death. After all he did have a major part of Michael Jackson’s death.
