Right. And what I'm hoping here is that "common sense" will prevail with the jury. We don't know exactly when or on what occasions Michael was given propofol in the past, but giving it at home, without rescue equipment, does, indeed, sound like "a disaster waiting to happen." And, as it turns out, it WAS.
That's true. There is no law against it. Maybe because it's SUCH madness it's never come up before? I'm sure this will set some sort of legal precedent, just because it's so unheard of? But yeah, "common sense" among the jury could very well prevail. As in, "What WAS Murray thinking?" If he was thinking, at all?
One the other hand, much as we hate to think about it, murray is a doctor and doctors have a certain dignity, seriousness, and sense of duty associated with them. I think the average person wants to believe that a doctor wants to do good. I have this...anxiety, I guess you'd call it, that murray will be portrayed as a wonderful caring doctor, (see the marvelous way he treats his patients from his clinic, how concerned, how caring) sure, he gave Mr. Jackson that anesthetic but it was only from a desire to help his patient, his friend get the rest he needed. Blah, blah. And then the jury will say, well, it's terrible what happened but he is a doctor and he is human and after all accidents do happen.
And then I think, naw, couldn't happen like that cause it just wouldn't make any SENSE!
I just hope any jury has more than the IQ of a turnip.
