"THIS IS IT"


    Today Conrad Murray, the doctor of Michael Jackson convicted of involuntary manslaughter, was found guilty.  As I continue to watch the flow of news outlets covering this bit of breaking news, I find myself in awe.
    Thousands of Michael Jackson fans gathered outside the court house in Los Angeles, eagerly awaiting the verdict. The second the verdict was announced, you heard a woman shriek due to joy... in the courtroom! So dishonorable.
    Then the cameras switched to the crowd outside as they all celebrated the decision. One woman was jumping up and down, better displaying her Michael Jackson shirt which read, "This is it," and she even went as far crossing the caution tape in front of her.
    Conrad Murray will receive a maximum of four years in prison, as he will also lose his license to practice medicine. His sentencing will take place on November 29th, but due to California's  prison overcrowding, Murray may be sent to a county prison versus time in state prison. For additional information about Conrad Murray and the trial visit:
