You People are Hilarious
Loving the judge references! You people are funny. I love it when people make me laugh!
Re: Michael Jackson, that’s hard to say. In most states a murder charge requires some intent to kill. In other words that had to be your purpose.
If this doctor, however, was living off the fat of the land giving Michael whatever he wanted to stay on the pay roll (which is my guess) I’m thinking the best they would get at trial is Manslaughter which in most states could be anything from willful and wanton to a reckless disregard for the others. In other words he did what he did without the least bit concern for Michael saftey and as a direct result of those actions Michael died.
On the other hand just because you have a license to prescribe medicine doesn’t mean you’re not a drug dealer. I know a couple of doctors who have been convicted for just that even when nobody died. They have rules. There must be a legit. medical reason for what they give people. “I want it” is not one of them.
But who knows. None of us have all the facts so there could be stuff going on I am not aware of. In any case sometimes when stars and emotions get involved even the legal system can get warped under the pressure.
After all prosecutors, who decide who to charge people and have a great deal of discretion in deciding what they will charge people with, (those are the people who wield more power than folks recognize and the ones least likely to be held accountable) juries and judges are all human. And as I always say people feel faster than they think and then the facts get sifted through that emotional strainer.
So we’ll see. The thing is not to pre judge and convict or exonerate through the media. That’s when emotion really has a chance to carry folks away. The fact that Michael was well loved and a genius should have no bearing on the charge. It should be the action, intent, causation and outcome. And while we are all certain of the last one the first 3 are still widely unknown to us regular folk.
On a personal note, I have decided that what my woman cave lacks is art. SO I am going to get three canvasses – practice on two and make something with the third. I have no artistic talent. But I don’t care. All I want is color and feel. It will be abstract simple light and happy. If it’s not hideous I might even share it with you guys. (odds of that are low but I like challenges).
My new shoes hurt. Put my banged up car in the shop. And I am in a really odd mood. I think I will limit the number of emails I send today. Don’t want to get into any ill-timed, or unnecessarily disruptive truth telling. I feel a little raw this morning. Don’t want to start anything I can’t finish.
Peace.
