Michael Jackson’s Doctor Found Guilty Of Involuntary Manslaughter by ybase2: 8:24am On Nov 08, 2011
Conrad Murray is tonight spending his first night behind bars as Michael Jackson’s family celebrates after a jury convicted the pop star’s former doctor of involuntary manslaughter.

Members of the Jackson family wept quietly after the guilty verdict was read at Los Angeles Superior Court today.

Murray was handcuffed and taken into custody after being remanded without bail to await his sentencing on November 29.

The 58-year-old cardiologist faces up to four years behind bars after the jury’s conviction.

Wearing a grey pin-striped suit and a blue tie, Murray looked stunned as the jury’s decision was read out after two days and ten hours of deliberations.

Just as he has through most of the trial, Murray remained stoic as Judge Michael Pastor dismissed an appeal for him to be released on bail pending his sentencing hearing.

A sheriff’s deputy leaned over while Murray sat at the defence table and handcuffed him before leading him out of the court to the cells.

Jackson’s sister, La Toya, screamed out when the verdict was read out and her older sister, Rebbie, held her head in her hands.

Randy was closest to the jury and 17 members of Jackson family in all were sitting in the court. He massaged mother, Katherine’s shoulders as she cried after the verdict was read out.

Outside the court, hundreds of Jackson fans cheered when they heard the verdict, some singing ‘Beat It’ as passing motorists honked their horns.

Others held signs that read ‘guilty’ and ‘killer’.

Judge Pastor said Murray’s ‘reckless conduct’ meant he was a danger to the public.

Leaving the court, Jermaine Jackson said: ‘Justice was served, but it wasn’t enough time. Michael is with us.’

Sister La Toya, wiping back tears, added: ‘Thank you America, thank you everyone. Everybody was wonderful. Michael loves everybody. He was in that courtroom with us – that’s why justice was served.

This Latoya is funny. So justice was served because Michael was in the court room with them?

The legal case regarding the death of Michael Jackson ended. The verdict was involuntary manslaughter, and it was in contrast to the death being an act of malpractice.

Basically, medical malpractice is negligence committed by a health care professional, whose performance of duties depart from the standard of care of those with similar training and experience. On the contrary, there is certainly a big misconception about medical negligence. The main problem is that the majority of issues similar to known potential risks usually are not considered malpractice more often than not.  For additional information concerning medical malpractice lawsuit you need to look into this informative article written by Mr. Haskell: Medical Mistakes -- A Primer on the Basics of Medical Malpractice. That will supplement everybody with information about medical issues, and will widen horizons about medical malpractice.

To conclude, not all claims connected with clinical practice are MEDICAL MALPRACTICE. There are so called legal aspects that must be considered before concluding the case, that is why Dr. Conrad Murray was going to jail for involuntary manslaughter, and not medical malpractice.
