Thank you, Prof. Lavonda. MJ began to commit suicide slowly decades ago with his skin bleaching and then his continuous abuse of high risk prescription drugs. Dr. Conrad Murray is nothing more than a mere pawn that has been sacrificed on an ungodly altar to appease MJ’s deluded fans, so-called friends and a nonchalant family who watched him self-destructing gradually over the years without doing much, if anything at all to save him from himself. A good part of the blame for MJ’s untimely demise should be spread around all these individuals and groups but ultimately the final responsibility was Michael’s. Amazing how a man with such great talent who was able to rise to the pinnacle of celebrity status globally would still suffer such demeaning inferiority complex that ultimately led him down the road of self-immolation!
However pls cross check the records again. I heard on CNN that it was the organizers of the now ill-fated “This is it” MJ concert that hired Murray, not Michael’s mother. Whoever did has ended up crucifying Murray for the crimes of many others. But weep not for Murray either. If he had been guided by his Hippocratic oath rather than sheer monetary concerns he wouldn’t be in the predicament he now finds himself.

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The Killer Of The Great Michael Jackson Found Guilty
This is one of those issues which really arouse my ire. The mother of Michael Jackson hired this man to manage her child's drug addiction. No. Dr. Murray should have declined. He should not have participated in this madness. However, Michael's family saw the way that he was living. Like a denizen of the worst crack house in LA. Filthy rooms. Containers of urine all around him. He was shopping for drugs and even owed a single pharmacy 100,000 US dollars. This was AWAY from the drugs he was getting from Murray.
I would have liked to see more honesty regarding Michael's addiction. All they're saying is that if you're rich and famous enough you can be a junkie and have the public ignore your entire persona. This is very, very sad that this family will not state that they knew their brother was horribly ill but instead they are blaming a man, a single man. The problem with Michael is so much more complex. Many people were culpable. Down to the man who was giving Michael that 20 percent solution of bleaching cream. All of them didn't kill Michael. But they all DEFINITELY helped Michael kill himself.
