About the medical license being suspended in California....I am CERTAIN Nevada and Texas will do the same. I doubt they will let a doctor practise in their state when in another state it has been shown in COURT that he is a "danger to the public" if he he is allowed to continue. Also....just looking at Murray's defense's arguements, it becomes clear they know that too...They were like "You want it to have a punishment effect...but Dr. Murray doesn't even have a practise in California...he isn't treating any other patient's in California..." As in....if you suspend his license...it won't have any effect on Dr. Murray. WELL....if it doesn't...why do you try to ask the judge to NOT suspend his license with ANY kind of agruements at all then? UNLESS, you know that it will cause the other states to follow. OR...unless you know he does indeed have patients in California and his main income comes from those patients. And if he will lose that income, he won't be able to pay child support...andlet's not forget that if he will be behind with his child support payments, Nevada will immediately suspend his license too based on THAT.
Another thing....Murray will be on trial for involuntary manslaughter. That means...if he was reckless or not as a doctor. The judge just ordered his license to be suspended because Murray is a "danger to the public". The judge heard the evidence....what do you think his verdict would be? Not guilty? So in my opinion it already is very telling from how the judge ruled, what the outcome will be. Sure, you gotta convince the jurors...but the jurors also need to judge based on EVIDENCE. They won't be allowed to judge based on "gut feeling" or what their personal opinion is. And if one juror for example would say Murray is "not guilty", I would bet the other jurors would point to him/her what facts make it clear he most definately is guilty.
EVEN if Michael would have drunk the Propofol...it won't change the fact that MURRAY is guilty. Where did the Propofol come from ? Murray ordered busloads of it. Who started giving the Propofol? Dr. Murray. Under which doctor's treatment did MJ even DEVELOP this alleged addicion of his? DR. MURRAY!!! And this is important because it becomes from Dr. Murray's OWN statement....he said he was concerned MJ was DEVELOPING an addiction. He didn't say MJ already was addicted...no, he said "developing" as in "becoming" an addict. So....IF Michael was addicted to it...which doctor can be made responsible for the addiction? Dr. Murray. Which doctor did NOT make sure the emergency equipment and drugs you HAVE to have when giving Propofol is there? Dr. Murray. Which doctor administered Propofol without having a person there who knows how to assist with respiratory problems and knows how to intubate? Dr. Murray. Which doctor left a patient, who has gotten Propofol and other sedatives, alone in the room? Dr. Murray. Which doctor gave all the sedatives, etc. and not only left the room, but also didn't MONITOR the patient? Dr. Murray. Which doctor knew his patient (and I am putting this because Murray is trying to use it as a defense) is addicted to Propofol but a) still gave that to his patient and b ) left the patient alone with Propofol next to the patiet with syringes and needles and with a working i.v....Dr. Murray. Which doctor found a patient not breathing but waited over 20 minutes to call 911? Dr. Murray. Which doctor gave CPR on a bed. Dr. Murray. Which doctor tried to hide evidence? Dr. Murray. Which doctor did not tell the EMTs or the doctors at UCLA what drugs exactly he had given to the patient? Dr. Murray. Which doctor did not keep patient records while treating MJ? Dr. Murray.
So, even if MJ drank it....it won't change anything. Also, WHEN was MJ supposed to have drunk it anyways??? Don't forget that Propofol leaves the body fairly quickly, so if it was found MJ must have been drinking it fairly shortly before he died. And Dr. Murray has insisted that he left the room ONLY for two minutes MAXIMUM. So again, the same proplem as with the "self-injection"....would MJ really be alert enough that he'd be able to have the needed coordination to be SO FAST that he could open several Propofol bottles and then either pour or use a syringe to get the Propofol into his juice, then drink it, and then stop breathing....all that it less than two minutes?? Don't think so. And there is no way any juror will buy that either...because that is ridicilous. And EVEN if MJ would have managed that somehow, that would mean that he would have JUST stopped breathing, like right when Murray came back, so he was not beyond being saved at that point. Which again brings back Murray's responsibility as the only doctor there, especially as the only DOCTOR there who has admitted he administered Propofol. He was SUPPOSED to know exactly what to do an how to help the patient if he has trouble breathing. Don't forget that when giving Propofol you need to be PREPARED for those EXACT problems. So if Murray came out and saw MJ not breathing he SHOULD have been able to help MJ like it was nothing. Like he would not have bene doing anything else in his whole life. It should have been a ROUTINE to him. Because WHAT would have he done if MJ would have stopped breathing when HE gave the Propofol? What? What was his plan? So, again...whether MJ self-administered or if MUrray gave it to him really is beside the point. Dr. Murray was the doctor there who was supposed to be monitoring and helping the patient, and not only did he leave that patient alone, but he also did NOT KNOW how to help. So what was he doing administering Propofol in the first place? Itis COMPLETELY insane and totally reckless!
If Murray will now change his timeline because the 2 minutes won't give MJ enough time to wake up, open the bottles, get it in the juice, drink it and go back to bed and stop breathing...and say he was away and on the phone for over 40 minutes, then things will become even MORE troubling (sp?) for him. Because he would admit to have left a sedated patient ALONE with no monitoring that would have even alerted him with a SOUND, for 40 minutes. So in that case too whether MJ drank it or not would pretty much become secondary because it is INSANE to leave a sedated patient alone. ESPECIALLY one who has gotten Propofol!!! Also, if Muray says he was away for 40 minutes and not 2 minutes...then he also will admit has lied to the police officers from the beginning. Because he said he ONLY left for less than 2 minutes to go to the bathroom. So his credibility would completely be gone by then because nothing he has said so far makes any sense and there has already been a pattern of lying. So if he will admit to have been lying to the POLICE OFFICERS....do you understand what that will do to him?
So again, no matter WHAT way you twist it....there is no way out for Dr. Murray.
