Who is Dr. Conrad Murray

Conrad Murray was born in Granada, raised by his grandparents until age seven when he went to live with his mom and he apparently met his father when he was in his twenties according to A&E's Television Network's biography of Murray.

The death of the King of Pop has put Murray on the map, he is probably recognized around the world now. Dr. Murray obviously is a very educated cardiologist, considering his background which includes; a customs clerk, voluntary school teacher, insurance underwriter, Meharry Medical College grad, Mayo Clinic training, studied at the University of Arizona on a Cardiology Fellowship, Murray finished his residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center, associate director of an intervention cardiology fellowship training program at Sharp Memorial Hospital, and Conrad Murray attended Texas Southern University where he graduated magna cum laude in three years and earned a degree in pre-medicine and biological sciences.

That is a very impressive background, for a man who was raised by farmers and a mother who struggled to earn a living Murray certainly is a determined individual with common sense. Why is he trying to portray himself as a pitiful victim when it comes to Michael Jackson's sudden and unexpected death? Could it be because he is very skilled at manipulating circumstances to meet his needs?

Apparently, Dr. Murray is driven to succeed and achieve financial success. Here is a man who was wise enough to set up his private practice Las Vegas. Why do you think he set up his practice there? Go where the money is, which in general is a logical business decision. In just seven short years he went from a private practice to opening an institute, he opened his private practice in 99 and in 2006 Conrad Murray opened the Acres Homes Heart and Vascular Institute. This man is no fool.

Is Greed and Desperation the Underlying Factors that Drive Dr. Conrad Murray

One cannot deny the fact that Murray is definitely a persistent and determined individual, not with all of his achievements. The question, is he the the type of person who tosses ethics and character to the wind when it comes to getting what he wants. Dr. Murray wanted five million dollars from Michael Jackson, and was working for one-hundred-fifty thousand dollars per month as Jackson's private physician.

Is it possible that Conrad Murray was angry with settling for less than he felt his services where worth? What if Murray felt that he was being short changed and held an inner grudge; after all he was working for the King of Pop who was planning a tour. According to reports Dr. Conrad Murray had financial debt and needed the money,

Perhaps, this led to his seemingly careless decisions as a doctor. If you have been following Dr. Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial for the death of Michael Jackson it reveals a muddy character. Despite his education and obligation as a medical doctor Murray appears to have crossed the line big time.
