NDG Gossip: Murray had to know he would not escape manslaughter charge

After the verdict was reached in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson on Nov. 7, I was ecstatic. I paid close attention to the testimonies in this case. It made me roll my eyes to hear the defense attempt to make Michael Jackson 100 percent responsible for his death. Jackson paid the ultimate price of death, but to make things sound as if Jackson killed himself is hard to believe. Yes, MJ was on route to going six feet under by knowingly finding the quack who was money hungry enough to provide him with propofol and anesthesia. Jackson knew these drugs were not meant for home use. Murray knew these medications should not be in Jackson’s home. But Murray valued money over a man’s life. How quickly the Hippocratic Oath went out his head when the $150,000 a month paychecks were flashed, if he even took the oath.

Bieber got problems
It really sucks to be Justin Bieber these days. Last week, one of his fans claimed that he is the father of her son. Now, a mentally challenged 14-year-old Kentucky girl said she wants to skin his ex-girlfriend, Caitlin Beadles, alive and kill his current girl – Selena Gomez. According to TMZ, the girl posted her “wishes” on the social media site tumblr.com. The girl said she is has cameras on Beadles for around the clock. In the meantime, the Los Angeles Police Department is working with the girl’s mother to monitor her Internet activity. Note to mom: Why is your mentally disabled daughter on the Internet threatening folks? Take that computer, iPhone or whatever she using to threaten people away. Give that girl a book to read or something.

Murray says Jackson killed himself

Did Jackson kill himself?

Now picture this, Michael Jackson is returning on an international tour which literally sold out in all venues; he was rehearsing everyday; and he was excited to see people again but none of this mattered because according to Dr. Conrad Murray, the doctor who allegedly gave Jackson the lethal amount of Propofol which ended his life last June, Jackson was suicidal and wanted to die. 

We know, we know sounds like he just trying to stay out of jail because if this was true it would have came out months ago and not before the trial date.  But according to TMZ Murray’s defense strategy tell goes like this:

- At around 10:50 AM, Dr. Murray gave Jackson 25 mg of Propofol from a 20 ml bottle — that’s only about 1/8 of the bottle.

- The dose Dr. Murray administered would keep someone asleep for only 5 to 10 minutes, But the Propofol, along with the Ativan and Versed that was already in MJ’s system, had a synergistic effect that put Jackson to sleep for a longer period of time.

- For the next hour, Dr. Murray stayed in the room and was on the phone for much of the time. Dr. Murray didn’t leave the room to make the calls because MJ liked activity in the room, regularly sleeping with the lights on and cartoons blaring on the TV.

- At around noon, Dr. Murray left the room for approximately two minutes to go to the bathroom. While he was gone, the defense believes Jackson suddenly awakened and was frustrated he had spent nearly 9 hours trying in vain to sleep. The defense theory — Jackson took the 20 ml bottle of Propofol and self-injected the remaining contents through the IV, causing a massive overdose that stopped his heart.

- Dr. Murray walked back in the room and saw Jackson with his eyes open and pupils dilated. Dr. Murray dropped the phone (he was speaking with his girlfriend) and began administering CPR.

This story has so many loop holes in it is hard to believe what happened.  Murray has changed his story since the beginning and now they Jackson clan is ready for a fight to defend Jackson’s honor and integrity. 

WOW is all we can say.  If Jackson really committed suicide then…we have nothing more to say.

Dr. Conrad Murray a no-go with murder turn-in

On Thursday, Feb. 5 Dr. Conrad Murray refused to turn himself in and be handcuffed by the Los Angeles police but will still be formally charge for the manslaughter of Michael Jackson. Murray is being charged with the murder of legendary musical icon, Michael Jackson. Murray was to turn himself on Friday, Feb. 6 to face sentencing for prescribing Jackson a deadly drug combination of propofol and lorazepam. Murray insists he did nothing outside of Jackson’s normal sleep aid and pain relief drug administration.

Murray was in the home and found Jackson lying across his bed unresponsive. After waiting several moments, Murray finally contacted the Los Angeles authorities and reported that he had found a man not responding. Murray never identified the pop icon nor did he attempt to revive Jackson. Speculations quickly arose that Murray administered Jackson the deadly cocktail because Jackson was late on payments, thus causing Murray to be late on his financial obligations, including past due child support.

Jackson was scheduled to begin his European tour last summer, selling out almost all of the venues.

Murray has been seen visiting Jackson mausoleum earlier this week.
