Murray found guilty

The jury has made their case--Conrad Murray is found guilty of the manslaughter of Michael Jackson.

- BBC's report.

I think he deserved it. He supplied Jackson with the drugs. Therefore, he is responsible for what resulted. If a parent hands his toddler a gun, and the toddler accidentally shoots himself, the parent is held responsible. Jackson was like a toddler, dependant on the Doctor to care for him. The Doctor gave him a drug--which he shouldn't have been giving him--and Jackson died as a result. How is this any different from giving a toddler a gun (except for the fact that a kid dying is much more horrific and terrible than a celebrity dying)?
Not only that, but the Doctor was giving him drugs he should not have been giving him. If a druggie goes into a Doctor's office, asking for codeine because of an addiction to codeine, the Doctore legally has to say no.
Not only did the Doctor here give a drug to someone addicted to it, but he did it to profit. He profiteered off someone's self-destruction.
This is wrong.
