I have literally been on the computer for 12 straight hours, so this blog will be short and sweet. Before I start, I want to THANK everyone for participating in the twitterthon with the hashtag #MJfansAGAINSTmann. It was truly inspirational to see the MJJ community come together for what they believe is right; that Howard Mann stays away from the Jackson family. A special thanks to @UNITED4MJLEGACY, who tirelessly promoted this event and to @Ivy_MJJC for her knowledge regarding Mann. Ivy is the person who posted just how much MJ fans are against Howard Mann, in the picture above. Tonight, a new article came out in News of the World, stating that the fingerprints on a syringe that was found in the room where Michael Jackson died, do not match Conrad Murray or Michael Jackson. Whether this is true or not, IS NOT THE POINT.
In January, I blogged about Dr. Barry Friedberg, one of the leading propofol experts in the world. Link is here. If you would like to read the article I sourced, click here. I will reiterate what was written in the last blog, regarding Friedberg's comments on Conrad Murray and his involuntary manslaughter charge.
"The defense has raised red herrings about the propofol dosage that Dr. Murray administered and about whether Michael self-administered, Friedberg stresses that but all those red herrings have nothing to do with the fundamental issue of physician responsibility."
"Dr. Murray failed to watch and monitor his patient and nothing else matters" adds Friedberg. "No amount of legal defense attorney posturing can relieve Murray of his responsibility to have watched and monitored his patient."
Finally, Friedberg states, "Although he may not have intended to kill Jackson, Murray clearly caused Jackson's death involuntarily. The only thing more reckless Murray could have done was taking Jackson up in an airplane and pushing him out without a parachute."
Involuntary manslaughter is defined as "the person's act either was by its nature dangerous to human life or was done with reckless disregard for human life. (In addition,) the person either knew that such conduct was a threat to the lives of others or knew of circumstances that would reasonably cause the person to foresee that such conduct might be a threat to the lives of others."
Clearly, Dr. Murray knew that administering propofol in a home setting, without proper monitoring equipment and leaving his patient unattended for any amount of time, could cause a threat to the life of Michael Jackson. This is EXACTLY why he lied to the EMT's, and to the UCLA ER doctors, and DID NOT report the administration of propofol to Michael Jackson.
So really, whether the fingerprints on a syringe in an unsecured crime scene don't belong to Murray or Michael Jackson is IRRELEVANT. What DOES matter is that Conrad Murray was reckless and criminally negligent with regard to his patient Michael Jackson, and that criminal negligence lead to Jackson's death.
Ed Chernoff, I say to you, even if the fingerprints don't fit, THE JURY MUST CONVICT.

Keepup the good work justice we have some hard time coming up,
The #mjfanagainshowordthecowardmann! went very well,
Thanks for putting things in perspective again. The defense is doing its best to deflect us from the heart of the matter - that Murray's negligence and cavalier attitude towards Michael's well-being, resulted in his death.
I just wanted to repeat the last part of Justice's blog since it captures the essence of this case.:
"So really, whether the fingerprints on a syringe in an unsecured crime scene don't belong to Murray or Michael Jackson is IRRELEVANT. What DOES matter is that Conrad Murray was reckless and criminally negligent with regard to his patient Michael Jackson, and that criminal negligence lead to Jackson's death."
Thank you Justice.
I also want to thank Bridgett for her excellent reading suggestions.
Sandy you are welcome, I will post blog that I think are well research and can stand on there own.
Some part of the is very condescending and I did not like the tone of the bloger, but I may not be very objective, anyway this is it I would love to hear how other fans view this story from the sprocket?
Niki gator blog you Have to give a 4.5 star for her medical research.
As the trail get closer to the date Murray team gone back to there nasty ways feeding false story to the media saying they tested the syringe and the print was not know.
When in fact they did not retest the syringe, they knew all along the finger print was unidentified.
Know Murray is claiming Mj drink propofol in fruit juice when he Murray was not looking what kind of BS story is that? If he know his patient was helping himself to the drug why the hell this crazy Doctor never have the drugs under lock and keys, can someone with better insight fill me in?

This is the article over at TT that I am calling condescending, anyway maybe I am bias.
Just today an article came out re Murray's words in writings to the two MD's they intend to call as "experts" where Murray says, for the first time, that while he was going to the bathroom for two minutes (out of MJ's room), he was also making phone calls out of the room; contrary to the statement he gave police initially where he said he just went to the bathroom for two minutes. If he takes the stand he can be x-examined on these conflicting statements.
Bridgett, I read Sprocket's blog regularly; she covers other trials in additions to Michael's, and I believe she is objective and very thorough.
I also view VindicateMJ regularly; their latest on the contract with AEG/MJJLLC/MJJ is extremely thorough.
The reporting of the fingerprint non-matches was originally from News of the World, that British rag which is worse than the National Enquirer. The British people loved Michael; however the media were merciless toward him. Well, for the first time, today I viewed the front page of the News of the World and was completely shocked at the total crapola displayed under the guise of "entertainment". I would discourage any belief in the credibility of any tall tale drempt up by NOTW.
And Bridgett regarding your last paragraph about Murray's claim that MJ drank propofol, there is no explanation for that, Chernoff, Murray, et al. are grasping at straws; they are cornered with no way out. We must stay discerning.
@Bridgett, that sprocket post which you listed separately was from August, 2009, much has happened since then to clarify that Michael was the victim of a homicide by Murray as a result of prescriptions given to him only by Murray (found in his system).
@ June I know but some fans find stuff like that offensive, I can be very objective at time and at other down right bias to a point were I will refuse the read.
It not good but the recovery time after reading some article and comment are awful and can make one depress, so I am always careful about article, book, and blog I recommend to some fans. They just cant handle the nasty,
I have friend that still can't listen to Mj music and refuse to read anything negative about him.
It was not just about them not having all the fact it was their writing style and how they regard him on a whole. I think when writers are going to write about a topic that they do not have all the fact should say allege, and when the facts are present correct the misinformation, case in point, the drugs did not come from Micky fine pharmacy. The jury is still out about MJ been this "drug addict" we don't have any creditable evidence, if those are going to be the reference of ten years from know I can't say I am happy.
