As I said, none of this makes sense.
Why isn't anyone from the media asking the Nev and Tex med boards very politely but very seriously why they are dragging their feet on this? Or anyone from the family? Or anyone with a big mouth?? Why is this getting ignored??
If they have solid, legitimate, legal reasons for the inaction, let them explain themselves. At least we would know the why of it. Surely they aren't afraid of murray. Heck they are the medical boards of their states, one step below god for a doctor.
I just found this from the LA Times from 13 Jan:
"A day after a Los Angeles judge yanked Dr. Conrad Murray's medical license for his role in Michael Jackson's death, officials in two other states said they were evaluating whether to follow suit.
A spokeswoman for the medical board in Texas, where Murray runs a cardiac clinic, said the ruling by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor "gives us the authority to do a similar action."
"We certainly have the option of suspending him," said Leigh Hopper, the Texas Medical Board's public information officer. She said the board was awaiting an official confirmation of the judge's ruling before deciding whether to proceed against the physician.
In Nevada, where Murray had a cardiology practice until going to work for Jackson, a medical board official said the agency normally "takes reciprocal action" when the medical board of another state strips a physician of his license.
But Murray's case is unique because he lost his license as a condition of bail set by a judge rather than as the result of an investigation by the state medical board, said Edward Cousineau, deputy executive director of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners.
"We need to review our statutes and regulations to know if there are any grounds for suspension or disciplinary action," he said.
Pastor revoked the license at the request of the Medical Board of California at the conclusion of a six-day hearing in which prosecutors presented evidence that substandard care offered by Murray led to Jackson's death.

Oh this is getting ridiculous. Maybe I could understand it if the judge had revoked it, all on his own. But the CMB has been trying for ages to get it revoked. Now it's revoked and Nevada is quibbling...
