Thank you for the great information Bonnie, and everyone.
The above article concerning Murray’s release from Jail while his appeal is pending prompted me to do a Google search to find the public opinion on this.
I think releasing him would be an abomination of the justice system. Michael does not get to live with his kids, or have any of the pleasures that Conrad Murray would have while out of jail and living with his girlfriend. Murray would be free to make more children when he can’t afford to support the ones he has.
The Jackson family is upset enough because of the little time Conrad Murray is getting: http://www.tmz.com/2011/11/29/katherine-jackson-conrad-murray-sentence
Please give your public opinion and vote on the website below. Conrad Murray should get the Max sentence, yes or no. It’s a start.
Bonnie, is their anywhere we could write to give our opinion? Do you feel writing to someone would help the prosecution or would help to persuade the judge?
Nothing of what has been transpiring in relationship to this case can surprise one any more. Now Murray wants lenience in light of having been a participant in the murder of an innocent man and getting a by-all-standards light sentence. So he wants the judge to feel sorry for his difficult circumstances. Hmmm... Interesting. What sheer arrogance. Seems to be a common trait among all involved in ensuring Michael's demise.
Hope you are doing well Irina. I agree with your level of disgust.
Murray is asking to be released on NO BAIL pending the appeal because his lawyer says he is running out of money(see url below).
It blows me over to think Murray is also seeking employment. He says to support his children -- though it's unclear what work that would entail ... considering his medical license has been unceremoniously revoked.
I think he should be saying; I deserve 4 years in jail for what I took away from Michael, but instead Murray is acting as though he did nothing and he is the one that is wronged. He sounds dangerous to me. He is in complete denial concerning his roll in Michael's death.
"The Texas Medical Board Friday suspended Murray's license, nearly three years after the death of the pop singer. Murray, currently serving a four-year jail sentence, administered an overdose of the anesthetic propofol that killed Jackson in June 2009."
"This achieves the same effect as license revocation," said Leigh Hopper, board spokeswoman.
"Murray is currently asking a California judge to release him from jail pending appeal of the case. His lawyer said Murray knows he cannot work as a doctor but would find other employment in California to help support his seven children, according to the Associated Press. A hearing on the motion is set for Feb. 24."
My personal feelings gravitate toward leaving him in jail for the whole 4 years. But I suppose that is too much to ask. :(
Really they should lock Murry up and throw away the key... because that is what is happening to Michael's kids, family, friends and fans. We were robbed for a lifetime. We can never see or experience anything with Michael EVER!
Keep posting everyone. I'm listening, even when I'm not participating.
Thank you for the updated information Bonnie. I'm glad they are keeping Murray behind bars.
Hi Irina,
Thank you for the thought provoking question. I'll add my two cents. :)
I think the reason Murray is on Solitary confinement revolves around his safety. Two things cross my mind in contemplating reasons for putting Murray in solitary.
1) To keep him from harming/killing himself. The world knows what he did and that has to weigh heavily on him. Example: "Conrad Murray on suicide watch in solitary confinement":
2) There could be prisoners that are in the same prison as Murray that would love to get their hands on him. There are a lot of people in prison that "Love" Michael Jackson and since these prisoners are in prison for life, what is one more death?
In other words, there would be no consequences for someone in jail on a murder conviction to oust Murray. They could already be sentenced to life or legal injection.
That is my opinion and the only thing that makes sense to me.
I don't think prisoners in solitary usually get visitors, but Murray does. See article below:
"Michael Jackson doctor Conrad Murray gets a prison visit from girlfriend Nicole and mother Milta."
