Conrad Murray’s Guilty Finding a Joke, Says Quincy Jones
Two days after Dr Conrad Murray, the personal physician of Michael Jackson, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, the star’s record producer and mentor has spoken out against the result.
“It’s a joke,” said Quincy Jones, 78, Jackson’s producer on the hit albums Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad, which together have sold more than 160 million copies.
Speaking in Dubai, Jones said if Murray had not been treating Jackson there would have been another medical practitioner doing exactly the same.
“People of Michael’s stature get whatever they want, it just goes with the territory,” said the producer, who has earned a record 79 Grammy nominations over five decades. “There were 40 other doctors lined up to do the same thing, whatever it is.
“I don’t know Why a guy would kill someone who’s giving him $150,000 a month.”
Mein comment: Er scheint zu wissen, wovon er spricht, so sieht er jedenfalls aus. Der Mann reitet nur noch auf dem ehemaligen Ruhm und dazu benutzt er wie viele andere den Namen Michael Jackson. Seine Interviews zu dem Thema sind das Vorderletzte.

"People of Michael's stature get whatever they want, it just goes with the territory," said the producer, who has earned a record 79 Grammy nominations over five decades. "There were 40 other doctors lined up to do the same thing, whatever it is.
"I don't know Why a guy would kill someone who's giving him US$150,000 [Dh551,000] a month."
Jones is in Dubai for tonight's launch of Tomorrow-Bokra, the charity single he has co-produced with the Moroccan-born musician RedOne and in partnership with the Emirati entrepreneur Badr Jafar.
Meine Anmerkung: Sich in Dubai zu tummeln scheint ja seit MJ dort war ziemlich en vogue zu sein. Wie man diesem Artikel entnehmen kann, ist er unterwegs, um seine Charity-Single zu promoten (charity ist gut, promotion ist besser), da kommt man auf jeden Fall in die Presse, wenn man etwas sagt, was "die
