Conrad Murray Found Guilty Of Involuntary Manslaughter In The Death Of Michael Jackson

November 7. 2011

Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician of the late pop star, Michael Jackson, who died in 2009 from a pharmaceutical drug overdose at age 49, was unanimously found guilty today of involuntary manslaughter by a jury in Los Angeles, California. Murray was taken away in handcuffs, with the jury finding him culpable for overmedicating the singer into an early grave via overdose. The judge and jury did a good job during the case and should be commended for their efforts. 

Murray will be sentenced shortly and faces up to four years in prison. However, as he has no priors, he may only receive months in the Los Angeles County Jail or even house arrest, which would be a miscarriage of justice. The government needs to allot more money to build new prisons in California, rather than wasting taxpayer funds on companies like Solyndra.

Often, stars such as Lindsay Lohan, break the law via DUI, endanger the public, then waltz out of prison within hours, on longer sentences, as she did today. This ought not be, as many criminals are not deterred from committing crime, believing in Los Angeles they will get next to no time.

Side Bar: it's amazing, in Florida and Texas, you commit certain crimes and you'll have to struggle really hard for them not to fry you up like a catfish (in the electric chair). In California, you'll be out in 1/20th the time. That needs to change.
