You guys do realize that "involuntary manslaughter" is about the lightest charge Murray could get? He will probably plead guilty and will get probation (and there will be no trial). You KNOW that, right?

so... you think it took them SIX MONTHS to investigate a involuntary manslaughter case?? WTF.
I've checked all the national news stations but nothing so far about Murray being charged with involuntary manslaughter. Are we sure this isn't the original TMZ report and/or source saying that most likely it will be involuntary manslaughter, or is it "official"? I thought the DA has to make the charge formally?
(not saying I don't think involuntary manslaughter will be the call, but this hasn't been offically confirmed, correct?)

I've always thought that Murray was just the fall-guy. I continue to believe that. One indication of that would be if he got off with a light sentence, and most likely no jail time. Bingo. We (some of us) will watch him after his probation is finished, and we will follow the money. We are still HERE.
Yes, if he gets free, I am convinced.If Murray is the fall guy, then that tells me that there was someone else behind this.
its more than likely all coming from TMZ. you know what chinese whispers are like.I've checked all the national news stations but nothing so far about Murray being charged with involuntary manslaughter.

If Murray is the fall guy, then that tells me that there was someone else behind this. Why would he willing to take any kind of rap, big or small, for anybody? In that case, he should have been blowing the whistle months ago. He would have saved himself alot of trouble all this time if he had just said something about that to the police, instead of blaming everything on Michael because he was scared.
California Jury Instructions on Involuntary Manslaughter
California Penal Code 192( b)
When a person commits an unlawful killing but without an intent to kill and who does not act with conscious disregard for human life, then the crime is involuntary manslaughter under Penal Code Section 192(b).
The difference between other murder charges and involuntary manslaughter rests on whether the defendant was aware of the risk to life that his actions created, and whether he consciously disregarded the risk. An unlawful killing caused by a willful act done with complete knowledge and awareness that the person is endangering another's life, and done with conscious disregard of that risk, amounts to voluntary manslaughter or murder.
An unlawful killing arising from a willful act done without intent to kill and without conscious disregard of the risk to human life amounts to involuntary manslaughter.
The defendant is guilty of involuntary manslaughter under California Penal Code Section 192(b) if:
Criminal negligence involves more than ordinary carelessness, inattention, or mistake in judgment. A person acts with criminal negligence when:
- 1. The defendant committed a crime that posed a high risk of death or great bodily injury because of the way the act was committed or the defendant committed a lawful act, but with criminal negligence;
AND
2. The defendant's acts unlawfully caused another person's death.
In order to prove murder or voluntary manslaughter, the People have the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted with intent to kill or with conscious disregard for human life. If the People have not met either of these burdens, you must find the defendant not guilty of murder and not guilty of voluntary manslaughter.
- 1. She acts in a reckless way and creates a high risk of death or great bodily injury;
AND
2. A reasonable person would have known that acting in that way would create such a risk.
There are three degrees of manslaughter, which carry different punishments. Voluntary manslaughter is an intentional killing that happened either because of "adequate provocation" or in an unreasonable attempt at self-defense. A voluntary manslaughter conviction carries a sentence of 3 to 11 years in prison. Involuntary manslaughter is an unintentional killing that happened during the commission of a misdemeanor or because of gross negligence (carelessness). Involuntary manslaughter carries a sentence of 2 to 4 years. Finally, vehicular manslaughter is an unintentional killing that takes place after an unlawful act committed while driving a motor vehicle. Vehicular manslaughter can be prosecuted as either a felony or a misdemeanor.

I can see it all now....
1. Dr. Murray gets just a slap on the wrist for killing Michael....
2. Dr. Murray lines himself up for the 'big' interview 'cause you know thats coming!...
3. All the media outlets will be tripping over themselves for the 'big get'.....
And in the end Michael loses as always.....
ET, Essences, AP, are now reporting it. AP has a "source" telling them. Most likely this maybe the case, no one from the LAPD is denying it.
I think at this point, Murray is already destroyed. I think jail time is no worst than public views once he is hit with this charge.I can see it all now....
