Is it just me or does it seem that Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray just might have gotten away with something pretty big here. I’m typically not the suspicious type but when every single statement that this doctor's attorney says seems to be tailor made to escape responsibility for anything, and the doctor just happens to be the last known person with Mr. Jackson before the paramedics arrived, my BS meter starts to go off.
The first and most obvious thing that everyone has talked about has to do with the 911 call. Everyone and his uncle by now knows that the doctor was giving Michael CPR on the bed, which isn’t ideal because it is soft, instead of a hard, solid surface like a floor which is recommended. But what I find suspicious isn’t necessarily that the doctor made a mistake by doing CPR on the bed, it’s that he then, after the 911 tapes came out, released a statement through his attorney that he was using one hand behind Michael as ‘support’, therefore mitigating the fact he was on the bed.
Now I don’t know about you, but I just don’t buy that. I have pretty good size hands, and I really don’t think sticking my hand, even if fully outstretched and in the middle of a person’s back, could provide enough support that with the other hand I could compress an unconscious man’s chest for CPR. Just how would one have the leverage with the one free hand to adequately do that? Smells fishy to me.
Next up are the recent revelations about the Propofol found in MJ’s house. For what it’s worth, I won’t be too surprised if they find fingerprints on some of those bottles from people other than Jackson. If they do, especially if it is the doctor, I think we might have a murder trial here folks. Most recently, the doctor's attorney has denied that the doctor gave Michael Demerol or Oxycontin but refused to say if he administered Propofol to put Michael to sleep.
Now a little background is in order here. Apparently, during Michael’s tour in the late 1990’s, a doctor travelled with Michael in order to basically anesthetize him each night to put him to sleep because of chronic insomnia. The doctor would then ‘bring him back’ out of anesthesia every morning. If Michael Jackson really did develop this bizarre and dangerous ritual in order to ensure he was able to sleep during the stress and demands of his concert tour in the 1990’s, and we have a bunch of bottles of Propofol, an anesthetic, found in his home just before another tour is about to begin, it only stands to reason that he is again engaging in this same ritual.
Therefore, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize what the current doctor's true reason for being hired as Jackson’s personal doctor for the tour was. Obviously, he was going to be the one to put Michael under and back each night and morning. If the autopsy results come back and show that Michael died of Propofol overdose, then it also becomes pretty obvious that the doctor should be charged with murder as Propofol is not a medicine that can readily be administered to oneself.
A final action by Doctor Murray that doesn’t pass the smell test is that that he didn’t attend the funeral. If he really is as heartbroken as he states he is and if he has nothing to hide, then one would think that as Michael’s personal physician he would want to console the family and join in the grieving process.
Instead, he claims he wanted to mourn his ‘good friend’ in private. The doctor might have been a good friend while Michael Jackson was alive, but I have a strong suspicion that if Michael could speak from the grave he’d tell us that to find out what really happened in that room that day would require the doctor taking a long hard look at ‘The Man In The Mirror’.

It's also obvious to me that he hired Dr. Murray as a live-in doctor so that he could administer Propofol to him so he could sleep. I don't believe there was any 'syndicate' or 'cabal' out to kill Michael Jackson. But what I do think is that there were a number of doctors that were star struck and that broke the laws so that they could be MJ's doctor. Afterall, who Wouldn't want to be able to brag that they were the doctor to such a giant celebrity. I'm sure it's a huge self-esteem kick and ego boost for a doctor that otherwise probably lives a rather mundane conservative life.
Michael used his star power to convince doctors to break the law and he found a group of doctors that were only too willing to comply. The most interesting part of this will be when it is discovered what doctor or other party supplied MJ with Propofol which is not something that can be prescribed and shouldn't be used outside of a hospital setting. Whoever is responsible for selling or giving MJ that most certainly should be prosecuted. That's like a Coke dealer giving crack to someone he knows is already an addict.
There's a legitimate claim by a doctor if he prescribes drugs for MJ and MJ goes to another doctor without the first doctor knowing...but if the doctor is aware that he is writing the prescriptions in MJ's employee's names with the intent of the medication going to MJ, this also is something that should be prosecuted. I don't think there's any doubt there will be at least 2 or 3 doctors charged. The only decision will be who to charge with what.
