Jackson family want doctor to face more serious charge

The doctor who administered drugs to Michael Jackson during his final hours is expected to be charged with involuntary manslaughter in court today, but the star's family are not happy about it. They believe the charge is too lenient and want it upped to the more serious charge of premeditated manslaughter. According to the Jackson family lawyer, they all want justice for Michael's death. "I spoke to La Toya Jackson," he revealed. "She wants justice for her brother. She is upset and has been upset about Michael's death. I spoke to Joseph Jackson. He wants justice for Michael. They are not angry, they are not vindictive, they are heartbroken. They do not think that the charge of involuntary manslaughter is appropriate. They feel that it is a slap in the face." When asked what she thought of the involuntary manslaughter charge yesterday, La Toys told reporters, "He should have been charged with premeditated (manslaughter).” Dr Conrad Murray will be in court later today.

    The fact Michael's family now want the doctor to be done for murder, rather suggests their guilt. Why couldn't they have supported Michael off the drugs while he was alive? Why did they just leave him to it and now get the blame game going now he's dead? He deserved more and now they need to accept they are partly to blame, which will be hard for them to swallow.

    It is really tragic that Michael died the way he did, but he clearly had a drug problem (as nearly all celebs have, even if they are legal, prescribed drugs.) This doctor would have been paid by Michael to administer the drugs, so we can question the doctor's morality, but he obviously had no intention of deliberately killing Michael. How would he benefit, finacially or otherwise from doing that?

    The Dr had only been with Micheal Jackson for 3 weeks. Who else has prescribed things for MJ.Especially using his sons name and his daughters.To me thats worse.Using them for his own needs.It wasnt Dr Murray who prescribed them.

    What really pisses me off about Conrad Murray is the fact that he shouldn't have given MJ ANY drugs at all, because he would have known that Michael was an addict to perscription drugs!
