From a medical standpoint-this guy has redefined "malpractice." To call him "doctor" is, IMO disrespectful to those honorable doctors in the profession. He was nothing but a drug dealer. I don't care how much MJ begged and pleaded with him to give him these drugs-he had a responsibility to refuse to administer dangerous drugs to him-regardless of the reason for the request. Propofol is never used outside of a hospital or surgical center setting-let alone in someone's bedroom and to help them "sleep." That's not sleep, it's anesthesia!
Ok, discuss.

I think that's the way he coped with his feelings about his dad. His dad absolutely ruinned Michael's life. This doctor says he was weining him off drugs. Yea right. Hope he burns in Hell. Would have luved to see that final tour! RIP michael

I'm just curious why you would find him not guilty of manslaugther?

This should be handled in civil court. It's just a colossal waste of tax payer money to try someone for the death of a low-life drug addict. Revoke his license and call it a day.

We're talking about something much more sinister and serious here. He willingly gave Michael a deadly drug, then just left him alone to die. He then tried to cover his tracks and have the body guards remove all of the evidence before even getting Michael any help. He should lose his license for sure, but he also needs to spend time in prison for manslaughter, if not 2nd degree murder...

I agree with Jimbo. It would have been one thing if he was giving him insane amouts of rx's for percocet or something. But propofol?? This is not a drug you can get at your local BallJeans pharmacy. I suspect he had to provide some false information to the pharmacy he ordered it from. It wasn't a matter of giving him an rx-it was a matter of administering the drug to him. A drug that is ONLY used in the OR or ICU setting with patients on numerous monitors and probably intubated with a doctor and/or nurse sitting at the bedside the entire time. Malpractice would be if he gave him too high of a dose of valium. This is a whole new level. This is a criminal case. It doesn't really matter that Michael Jackson was a drug addict for years. Even if Michael Jackson himself asked for the propofol to help him "sleep" the doctor has a duty to decline.

I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that full on sedation every night for two to three months (that we know of) is not how most doctors treat insomnia.

It's totally insane to think that putting someone under ansthesia is helping with insomina. Anyone who has ever been under anesthesia-or even moderate sedation, knows that you are wiped out for several days after. How is that helpful? I feel far more tired and wiped out after anesthesia than I do when I don't sleep for a few nights.

Why is anyone cutting open (and then using!) an IV bag for *any* reason? Another thing that makes me wonder just what in the hell was exactly going on in that house for those 2-3 months.
