Jackson's doc guilty: good long term for law and docs, or bad?

I only paid partial attention to the trial proceedings - but I recall one defense expert claim that jackson ‘self administered’ the fatal dosage, and this was indicated in the amount/location/timing of it - obviously the jury didn’t buy this, whats the consensus here on that theory?

My understanding (from what little I’ve seen of the news coverage) is that Jackson’s fingerprints didn’t show up on any of the propofol vials found at the house, but Dr. Murray’s did. So that makes it unlikely that Jackson was self-administering the drug (unless he was wearing gloves when he drew it into the syringe).

Or at least one glove.

I guess poor Dr. Murray would have been forced to go back to being a regular Dr. with the measly salary that entails.

Yes but my point is, lots of people walk fine lines that could get other people dead, for a tiny fraction of that kind of money.
