I know a lot of people wanted to hear a guilty verdict in the Conrad Murray trial, some for justice and some for closure. I however want it to set an example, that we are all responsible for our own actions and that money, fame, and notoriety don't mean we can let our good judgement and integrity go out the window.
The reason Michael died is money. He had enough of it to buy whatever he wanted including a personal doctor, who let money cloud his judgement. Should Conrad have turned Michael down or told him no at anytime, Michael would've just found someone else to say yes.
Money will always buy you what you want, but at what cost?
The true victim in this tragedy is society, so many have lost their way. I can only hope this guilty verdict will help prevent someone else from making a poor life altering decision.
Michael spent most of his money unwisely and was in deep debt. He realized he needed the "comeback tour" to ensure his children would be taken care of if anything should happen to him. Those huge shopping sprees really added up! So sad, but happens to lots of people who suddenly come into money as he did once he was on his own. He's not the first, I'm sure, to purchase a doctor. The outcomes are almost always poor since the best doctors are not tempted, but this is one of the first to be directly linked to a fatal outcome. Such a waste, all for not saying "NO".
