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

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.
 
I'm sorry but if this guy is going to jail for Michael Jackson's death then every member of Jacko's sick ****ed-up family should be on the same prison bus with him. They're just as culpable.
 
I only followed this trial in that I had to edit a bunch of the stories. Basesd on what turned up, I don't see how the jury could have done anything but convict.

I totally agree with you.
 
After the verdict the DA said they had considered second degree murder charges, but decided the facts of the case better aligned with involuntary manslaughter. You go with whatever you think you can win.

Yeah, he took the easy way to get a conviction.
