MJ’s Doc Officially charged

Dr. Conrad Murray has officially been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of legendary pop singer Michael Jackson. It took this long to bring Murray to justice because the DA’s office doesn’t have much of a case against him.
The DA’s office will have to prove that Murray — even involuntarily — caused the death of Jackson by plying him with the sedative/anesthetic Propofol and other prescription drugs. But the coroner’s report doesn’t support that charge since Jackson frequently self-medicated with a personal pharmacy stash of drugs. Any of those drugs in his body in any combination could have killed him.
