Michael Jackson's Family Attack Dr Conrad Murray For 'Frankenstein Medicine'

Michael Jackson's family has reacted angrily to Dr Conrad Murray's conviction for involuntary manslaughter, following the singer's death in 2009.

And it emerged that his mother tried to comfort Murray's own mother in court after the verdict was announced.

The Sun newspaper reports Jackson's brother Tito accusing Murray of practising "Frankenstein medicine", and that the doctor "should spend the rest of his life in jail".

"Instead, Dr Murray did not follow the law. Doctors are supposed to save lives, not to take them," Tito is quoted as reflecting.

Meanwhile, Michael's sister Rebbie said of her experience in the courtroom: "All the stress and pressure hit me. When the verdict was read I felt numb. Michael was no longer here.

"He (Murray) is fully responsible for taking my brother's life and I can never forgive him, neither will my family. I can never forgive him."

Jackson's mother Katherine was more composed, calling the verdict "bitter-sweet".

She said: "I can never forgive Dr Murray for what he did to Michael. Michael's three beautiful children miss him so and my family and I grieve for him each day. His kids say to me, 'Daddy would do this, or Daddy would do that.' It is always something beautiful about their father."

The Sun reports that Katherine said she felt sorry for Murray's mother, who looked "lost" after the verdict was announced. She tried to speak to her in court but was ignored.

When will this black comedy end? The "hero" is dead by his OWN HAND, the scapegoat will suffer for his own stupidity and greed, and the stories will go on and on and on. This is the most sickening soap opera that could be written and the sequels will go on and on. The sick one got his wish and the world is rid of him. The doc will fade off into the sunset, and the world will find another novelty to occupy their gruesome minds. This has been the sleaziest soap opera on record, but now Natalie Woods death will take its place for a while. The jackals will be feeding on her death for a while till they get bored. Next?.....

Hm. Frankenstein medicine. An apt description, considering the patient had no original parts.

Tanning is equivalent to Murray's Draconian methods. Yet people still do it.
