    Trying to understand the lady outside the courthouse waving a newspaper with OJ on the front page.

    Anyone know what's the max sentence he can get? Judge not allowing him to go free prior to sentencing, partially for his own protection.

    4 years max.

    4 years for supposedly killing a child molester? Not too shabby.

    I'm sure Jerry Sandusky is having trouble sleeping with his arrest and all the media attention. Maybe we can send Dr. Murray over there to "help him sleep"?

    Once the nitty-gritty came out during the trial, it seemed to me the DA woefully undercharged Dr. Murray.

    TMZ covered the shit out of this trial, but I couldn't even make an attempt to care about this particular case.

    Nope. And the networks cut in with the verdict, like anyone gave a shit.

    Now, perhaps folks can focus on bringing to justice the person who sold Amy Winehouse her last bottle of booze.

    Right? That's exactly how I felt.

    Yep.

    MJ certainly had a lot of bad physical habits that likely contributed to his death, but Murray's actions gave him a giant-sized shove down that slippery slope.
