Over and over there is mention of some "handlers" for Michael over the years. "The people around Michael" that he was sometimes afraid of and the mention by Michael himself of "someone wanting him dead". If you parallel the two cases, it would seem that Murray would surely be acquitted and these "handlers" would be prosecuted. Now who those handlers are can vary greatly depending on the investigation. Perhaps the media is implicating AEG, Phillip Ashultz, John Branca, etc in order the detract from who the "real handlers" are that are under investigation. Or maybe they don't know or are being fed false information. Maybe Michael had to play "possum"(dead) in order to get free of these people and for them to be prosecuted. I could see where a doctor would not be found guilty- if he is writing a prescription for a patient based on his condition, he is just supplying the initial medication. If "handlers" go behind the doctor and take that prescription information and get MORE meds under assumed names to give to the patient and keep him drugged up, then that would not be the fault of the original physician. If Michael and Murray were working together, Murray could easily induce a "sleep" (which is what propofol does) to make it appear that Michael had died, and make the "handlers" believe he has died also. They could have been supplying Michael with drugs (which he was pretending to take) in order to give the illusion of being drugged up.
I think the verdicts in this case are VERY relevant to what's going on with the Murray case. It's sad Anna couldn't have been saved, but I think this is going to set an example as to what's really going on with these abuses of prescription medication.
