    When people decide to commit suicide they become euphoric in that they have made that decision. Look back to the week before he died, his behaviour was unusually happy. I 100% believed that he killed himself.

    MJ fans need to realise that he killed himself and the doctor had nothing to do with it.

    MrsWeeWoo it was all the money Conrad Murray was being paid. He became too greedy and not caring about Michael.

    4 years isn't long enough, but it's the maximum the Judge can give.

    silly fool should have kept away - MJ would have just ordered from the net and they would have sued someone, anyone

    4 years ISN'T enough but that is how much Judge Pastor was allowed to give as a maximum sentence under californian law. He WANTED to give him more but he could. They are saying that Conrad Murray put the final nail in his proverbial coffin by not taking the stand and NOT showing any remorse. How much jail time Murray will ACTUALLY serve will be, according to californian law, a maximum of half the sentence (2 years). Also he will never ever be able to practise medicine again.

    4 years isn't nearly enough but it's more than i thought he'd get. Hopefully this will bring some peace of mind to the family.
