CONRAD MURRAY'S GUILTY VERDICT, NOT BY JURY OF HIS PEERS?

Icheoku asks was he singled out for prosecution just because of who he is and that the prosecutor's "child-molesting and hated" Michael Jackson was involved? Icheoku asks were Dr Murray a white doctor, would the prosecution have brought charges against him and if yes, why were those doctors involved in Keith Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Tina Marie and a host of Hollywood death by overdose not prosecuted; and in London no one has told of any ongoing prosecutorial action against the doctor who prescribed Amy Winehouse the drugs on which she overdosed? Anyway Dr Murray is just another black man who has to be put away and a jury technically not his peers, sat in judgment over him and convicted him.

Icheoku says technically not his peers because eleven of the twelve jurors were not black people and so would not understand the peculiar hard rock and the deep sea of a place Murray, a brother, was facing trying to provide service to another brother, a distrust Michael pigeonholed by an unforgiving society that condemned him for a trumped-up child molestation charges from which he never really recovered until he died. Icheoku says a jury of his peers should ordinarily be black people who have experienced America for what it is and not people of other colors. Moreso the judge is not black and so is the prosecutor and the defense; and you wonder whether the medical doctor got a fair shake for his unintentional conduct that led to death of someone already on death-row, all things considered. As far as Icheoku is concerned, Michael was killed and already dead the day they accused him of child molestation, which forced him into a completely secluded weirdo-world which turned him into pills-dependent brittle personality.

Admitted Murray did what professionally he should not have done, but Icheoku strongly opines that he should not have been prosecuted in the first place and at best on a lesser charge of misdemeanor negligence. So it is not justice served when a black doctor is convicted for unintentional death of another black man since no such prosecution has ever been carried out in other death by overdose drugs cases prior. However, Icheoku believes that the defense team insulted the intelligence of the jury when they tried to pin culpability on a dead Michael as the person who injected himself with the killer-Propofol. Icheoku says the Michael the world knew and watched until death took him, could not have personally injected himself when he had a highly paid physician in the person of the accused on standby to give him his medications as and at when needed. Anyway, an imprisoned man is still better than a dead man and hopefully Dr Conrad Murray would do his time and upon release, seek a rehabilitation both within his profession and society at large.
