Dr. Conrad Murray's Medical License Suspended, Ordered to Stand Trial Over Michael Jackson's Death

By Rebecca Macatee Posted Jan 11th 2011 08:06PM

Conrad Murray, the physician accused of injecting Michael Jackson with a lethal amount of sedatives, was ordered to stand trial on a count of involuntary manslaughter. According to TMZ, Judge Michael Pastor then ordered the suspension of Murray's license as a condition to the doctor's bail.

E! Online reports that Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charge. This ruling comes only six days after more than 20 prosecution witnesses testified that Murray violated his duties as a medical professional by injecting Jackson with a surgical-grade anesthetic then failing to properly monitor him to see the effects of the drug.

One of Jackson's bodyguards, Alberto Alvarez, testified at the preliminary hearing against Murray, confirming that the doctor demonstrated "an extreme deviation from the standard of care" by administering the amounts of anesthetic he did to Jackson, then concealing the evidence and not thoroughly attempting to resuscitate the King of Pop.

Janet Jackson was outspoken about her belief that Murray was responsible for her brother's death. "He was the one that was administering," she told ABC's Robin Roberts. "I think he is responsible."

He'll get off just like Anna dr.
Anna/MJ/Heath...they wanted to die.

Sorry folks but Conrad isn't a killer. If he is a killer you'd have heard of others he "dealt with" & what was in it for him by killing Jackson (If he did?) No, i must disagree. I say he is innocent. Michael himself may have given himself a dose when Conrad was out side the room as Michael frequently did. Then when Dr Conrad came in Michael may have said "hey Doc, shoot me up so i can sleep, would you? " So then he did as requested and became overdosed. case closed.

By Kevin

Rose that is simply ignorant..

There was more then enough evidence to show that he was culpable in the death of Michael Jackson. Dr. Conrad was a licensed doctor and was illegally administering a drug that was only to be administered by a licensed anesthesiologist.

He is guilty of Manslaughter and guilty of trying to cover it up. I am sure if one of your loved ones died the same way you would not feel like you do.

Rose....learn the difference between lst degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. The latter is because HE WASNT IN THE ROOM....get it?

By Kim

Rose,

Learn up about the medicine that killed Jackson. HE COULDN"T administer that particular drug himself. IMPOSSIBLE.

By Sheanne

rose, you stupid!

By ercat4u

Sorry rose...the dear doctor still gave him the propofol, AND under UNMONITORED conditions......he KNEW better

By Dr. Glen

You are wrong in your thought process. "Dr." Murray supplied the drug for Michael Jackson. Whether Jackson injected the drug or not, Murray is responsible. Propofol does nothing for sleep. It produces a state of unconsciousness but NOT sleep. He should lose his license for his use of propofol in the years leading up to Jackson's death and be tried for using propofol in a manner not intended (not off-label). He crossed so many lines it is hard to keep track.

why is it taking so long for them to put this Fool in the SLAMMER FOR GOOD!? This isn't wasn't the Milkman, this was MICHAEL JACKSON for cryin out lound people!

michael jack*** was a drug infested child molester!!! he deserved to die!! DR Murray is a hero. period

By lorrainep09

Why would the bodyguard just stand by and knowingly watch as the doctor inflicted harm to the man he is paid to protect? It seems that if the body guard is able to confirm that the doctor demonstrated "an extreme deviation from the standard of care," he should be held liable as well. It seems like many people or "witnesses" just turned a blind eye to what was going on.

By Tell It Like It Is

Incorrect. "Deviation from the standard of care", is PROSECUTOR'S argument. Article states bodyguard CONFIRMED. Based on testimony quack tried to wipe tracks clean. NO BUSINESS GIVING PROPOFOL! NOT QUALIFIED! NOT STANDARD! Will wait as long as it takes 4 him to be caged.

I hope he gets charged with murder.Michael said several times he was scared some one would try to kill him.I don't think the Dr acted alone.I watched THIS IS IT and that was not a person who looked or acted sick.He looked well in it.RIP Michael miss and love you.

djs23hybrid- 1 part jerk, 1 part dolt. Addiction hard. Like ignorance.

Were you all there? Are you all legal experts? Leave the judgment to the justice system and keep your opinions to yourselves. Some of you sound extremely foolish and the others are trying so very hard to sound knowledgable, but are failing - badly.

The "doctor" murdered Jackson. Having read the full Autopsy Report, I have no doubt. Four years isn't enough!
"doc" waited 21 minutes to call 911. If Jackson hadn't already been dead, he would have been brain damaged after 15 minutes most likely.
