<p>??? The article doesn’t state the verdict.</p>

<p>Sorry. Maybe this is a better link. Actually it is unclear if the verdict has been read, so I’ve asked to have this thread deleted.</p>

<p>calgal is correct. NO verdict has been announced yet. I read that a verdict will be announced at 6:30 PM Eastern time this evening.</p>

5

<p>But what made you think the promoter was guilty? Did a news outlet report that?</p>

6

<p>This sentence:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Is there a better way that could have been worded?</p>

7

<p>^^^Honestly, I don’t see how that gave the impression that the defendant was declared guilty.</p>

<p>Though that well may end up being the case.</p>

<p>Well now my post will have to be deleted. Sorry for my confusion.</p>

<p>Personally, I think the person MOST responsible here was the doctor. It doesn’t matter if the patient is persistent or demands something. The doctor is the PROFESSIONAL who knows or should know the implications of such a crazy request and is bound by medical ethics and SOP to say “NO.”</p>

<p>Nothing would surprise me, though, in terms of verdict.</p>

<p>The jury polling was hilarious, I must say.</p>

11

<p>Maybe they can just reword the thread title to “Michael Jackson’s promoter found not liable”?</p>

<p>Yes, a few of us are confused today.</p>

<p>So I guess AEG couldn’t/didn’t know Dr. Murray was incompetant.</p>

<p>Well, I don’t think he was incompetent for the job he was hired to do. He was a licensed cardiologist and was perfectly competent to take care of MJ. He just CHOSE to submit to the demands of a star who was paying his exorbitant salary. He had never done such a thing before, AEG would have no knowledge that he would do something so outrageous.</p>
