Culture: Michael Jackson death: Conrad Murray sentenced to four years in prison

  • Murray gets the max: Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor issued a sentence for Conrad Murray today, opting for the maximum imprisonment (four years) and coupling that choice with scathing denunciations of the disgraced former doctor: “Not only isn’t there any remorse, there is umbrage and outrage on the part of Dr. Murray against the decedent… Michael Jackson died not because of an isolated one-off occurrence or incident. He died because of a totality of circumstances which are directly attributable to Dr. Murray, not some mistake or some accident in the early morning hours of 2009.” During the trial, the prosecution argued that Murray delayed summoning paramedics to help Jackson after the singer suffered cardiac arrest, and lied to emergency responders when they arrived.

Culture: Source: Michael Jackson’s doctor gave him a lethal dose

  • The doctor gave him Diprivan, and that did him in. According to a source close to the investigation and the Jackson family, authorities have their pinpoints directly on Dr. Conrad Murray, the live-in doctor who was apparently giving the now-deceased King of Pop his pills. Last week, authorities were looking in Murray’s office in Houston, supposedly for evidence of manslaughter. So yeah, put that in your pipe and smoke it. (Note that we could’ve gone with a pill metaphor but didn’t.) source
