I am sure Dr. Murray has many, many regrets. This was negligence. I am sure there are questions of malpractice as well, but, he will more than likely lose his license to practice.
I am not an expert on California law and whether this was simply a 'slap on the wrist,' as Joe Jackson stated. The prosecutors must have a reason to act the way they did.
Perhaps, the family will someday be able to speak about it or write about it. But, as to whether the authorities have the right to inform the public as to their reasoning, is something that should be explored. There are many innocent people seeking reasons why Dr. Murray appears to be getting off easy. Sentences for manslaughter are not always light sentences, either.
It is a shame this occurred at all. It goes to show that playing with fire can actually burn you. Too much money, creates a lot of power to motivate folks for the wrong reasons.
Sympathies to the family. His children are wonderful. They speak to the love Michael had for them and all of us. They are charming and definitely his children. Unafraid. And they have no 'bad habits' either. It seems as though they have been raised well.
