Somewhere in the neighborhood of $101 million (the estimated tickets draw from a scheduled tour before he died.

The Judge said before he can award that kind of money he has to have supporting documentation to prove the amount is truly justified!

Just string him up and get it over with....

This man should lose his title and profession as Doctor. Doctor Kavorkian(spelling ?), had a purpose as a Dr., even if people disagreed with him. Conrad was just greedy and reckless. A person texting while driving without the regard of others safety is as guilty. Whether you liked Micheal Jackson or not, he has more than likely produced some music in his career that you could say you liked. He lived music. His purpose was to entertain and he did that well. He loved children. I cannot judge him on that respect. We will never know what he had in store for the world, and we all at a loss because of that selfish "Dr." trying to hide evidence instead of saving Micheal's life. For that he should not be eligible for parole.

Kevorkian took it upon himself to deliberately end many lives, claiming, he helped them end their suffering.

Conrad, was indifferent, capitalizing on an opportunity to earn extraordinary income, even if it meant willful neglect of Jackson's well -being.

In either case, we've witnessed the breakdown of some pretty import ethical principles. I personally would never trust either one of them with my life or with handling the interest of my well being.

I personally would not have trusted my children alone with Micheal Jackson, especially overnight. I personally felt disgusted when he made crotch grabbing an art form. - HOO!

What the physician did was wrong.
But Jackson was an addict.
He killed himself with stupidity.

I agree with this completely and it states half my sentiment.

The "Doctor" was a glorified drug dealer. You do not cry for the heroine addict, and you damn sure do not cry for the drug dealer that sold the tar. This case is no different. The "Doctor" simply had a sales pitch with bigger words.

That said, I grew up in the 80's and miss the fun his videos brought the world back then. (Thriller is still a guilty pleasure)

Not trying to be picky but I saw target amounts on the lawsuit were $150m. A difference of $49m. To me, $49m is a difference. I'm just sayin'.

I agree with both of you. One was as guilty in that as the other in that event. One has payed a higher price than the other.
