“Manslaughtering?” I like it!
So judging by the time that Lindsay Lohan spent in jail this weekend for her probation violation, Dr. Murray should spend about a month in jail.
Hooboy. I would hope so. The testimony was beyond damning. Complete yutz, which was sadly exactly the doctor Jackson wanted.
Man, California’s a dangerous place.
4 years maximum? That doesn’t seem like much.
Great…now maybe we can shut-the-fuck-up about it. It was a plot to keep the Jackson brand going anyway. A joke. He’ll lose his license and get a hand-slapping and take the bonus he was probably given to go through this and sun in the south of France.
..was that latoya who squealed when the verdict was read ?
@7-TMZ says it was LaToya and Kathy Hilton.
I’m not a doctor, but I’d like to think I could still keep the most famous pop musician in history both alive and happily sedated for far less than the $100k+/month this idiot was being paid by his sole patient. Seriously; how much of a moron do you have to be to screw that up?
Good ! and MJ is still dead. Now can we worry about something less important like climate change, famine, war, etc. Oh, I forgot that’s not on E! TV, so who the fuck cares! Now back to Kim K. and who she marries next.
Whatever.
Nobody cares.
I thoroughly approve of Will in Seattle’s new habit of referring to himself as “nobody.”
Only four years for regicide?! Ba-ba-ba-barbaric!
@9 Really. You’d think the guy learned nothing at Hollywood Upstairs Medical College! “Practicum: Keeping the Star Alive” is the only course they teach.
Well that didn’t take long. Think of all the kids that won’t be force fed “jesus juice”.
what were mj’s last words?
“hee hee!
OWWWW!”
@14 Hi Dr. Nick!
