10. I understand your difficulties with this

Having said that I will repeat the man is was not the monster you portray him to be. And this was not MJ's first go round with this drug. He was using it as a sleep aid long before Murray was on the scene.

MJ was a severely disturbed individual with a long history of drug abuse. This wasnt a a case where the doctor walked in and said you are having trouble sleeping Here lets give you the most extreme drug we can find to put you out. Thiis is a case where he was called into a situation where MJ was already using this as a sleep aid.

Again I am not trying to say what he did was right, I certainly think it was the wrong thing to do.

What I am saying is I know the man personally and he is not the monster you portray him to be. He made a horrible decision to try to help someone who was beyond help. He is paying for that.

I never got the sense from him in my dealings with him that it was ever about the money. Admittedly my time with him was not that extensive. A few office visits for chest pains I was having while he correctly determined it was not my heart that was giving me trouble.

My father however was an ongoing patient and to this day he credits doctor Murray for saving his life as do I.

He took a chance based on the knowledge he had and maybe MJ begging for it swayed him where it shouldnt have.

I am certainly not calling for him to be pardoned but rethug monster...nope sorry he certainly is not that.
