California Looks to Bar Dr. Murray From Practicing

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 24th 2010 07:49AM

Considering the charges against him, it seems like a given, but Conrad Murray is now officially facing the likely loss of his license to practice medicine in California. The state's attorney general, Jerry Brown, filed a petition Tuesday asking the Los Angeles Superior Court to restrict Murray's license immediately, citing the need to "protect the public from future harm."

"[The] Defendant is alleged to have administered a lethal dose of propofol and other powerful drugs to patient [Michael Jackson], which resulted in the patient's death," Brown said in the filing. "The exercise of such poor professional judgment and placing the life of a patient in jeopardy requires that the [California Medical] Board take measures to protect the public from future harm."

Murray was at Jackson's side on June 25 when he allegedly gave the singer the drug propofol -- a powerful anesthetic used knock patients out during surgery -- to help him get rest. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter and is free on $75,000 bail while awaiting trial. Murray is looking at four years in prison if convicted.

Further damaging information was leaked Monday night claiming Murray stopped administering CPR on the stricken star and delayed calling 911 so that he could dispose of drug vials in the room.

The account was given to investigators in August by Alberto Alvarez, Jackson's logistics director. He was summoned to the pop star's side by another Jackson aide who received a frantic call from Murray after Jackson was unresponsive.

doctor conrad murray needs to go to jail for at least 25 years because 1 he was administering a massive amount of different drugs to mj totally disregaurding what effect they might have . 2 he wasnt there for mj like he was being paid to do. 3 those few minutes it took him to hide drugs, could have saved mjs life. and 4 he is a careless man who doesnt seem bothwered at all by the fact that he killed and innocent man .

This man, I fail to call him a Doctor, should be in jail for the rest of his life. He took MJ away from the world, and his kids. All he cares about is the money. He makes me sick... Please put him away so he can't lach onto another star, with money and kill them... I can't believe he is still out of jail, hang him who cares....

Bar practice. Bar quack too. Don't care, draw and quarter him. He should be made to suffer as King's children, family, friends, and fans are now suffering due to loss.

Hello World nows a good time to stop the doctors thats think they give people anything and get away with it. Put him in jail or give him the same medication and go use the phone then not call for help.

You did it for the money! Why abandon all the loving patients
and go to California to malpractice in a grand way? No crying
over spilt milk (blood).
