Today isn't as shocking as yesterday, but it is as sad. The prosecution has established that Murray knew Michael since 2007 per Williams testimony. On 6/2009 Murray told Jorrie he's been Michael's doc for three years, 2007. Murray took the job for 150,000. granted he had to pay for ins. & transportation. The question is, If he stayed in his clinics and with all the free service he offers his patients, would he had made $150,000 per mo? And no matter what he made in his clinics he still had to pay for ins. trans. and home, his med ins. and so on.
Murray took the job because the benefit was greater than what he was making in his two clinics. He did not call 911 nor told Williams to call them, for some unknown reason. After Michael's pronounced dead, he worries about a cream "Michael wouldn't want the world to know about it". At that moment, that is more important to Murray than telling the emt's and docs, when it was possibly needed, about the meds he gave Michael.
Jorrie says Murray wanted the contract to start eff. 5/1/10, the last conversation she had with Murray was on 6/24/09. It's impossible for me to believe Murray wanted to harm Michael but it is very possible for me to believe that Murray's greed made him lose sense of reality and responsibility. He knew he needed some equipment, he requested a doc asst instead of a nurse, he knew what he was doing was dangerous, he was putting Michael's life at extreme risk, but he went ahead and do it anyway. He let his lack of caring, his ambitious desire for grandeur take over reason. I believe his contract is not valid since Michael didn't sign it, so he won't get what he wished, his own greed took care of that. Four years is nothing for what he did but I hope he gets it and serves the full term. Also hope he gets in problems so his sentence can be extended, and when he comes out he lives a miserable life. He needed Michael alive so he can collect his pay, his greed and his arrogance-playing doctor god, destroyed his dream and killed the greatest humanitarian.
