Florida Woman Says Fake Butt Injection Doctor Ruined Her Face!
"More victims are coming forward in the Miami Fix- A-Flat plastic surgery case - and the results aren't pretty. Rajee Narinesingh told CBS Miami that accused transgender cosmetic quack Oneal Ron Morris pumped her face full of a toxic brew investigators say was a mix of tire mender, mineral oil and cement, leaving her disfigured for life. Narinesingh, who was born a man, told the station that she was desperate to have plastic surgery and contacted Morris about two years ago after hearing about her through "word of mouth" in the transgender community. "It becomes so dire that you want to match your outside with your inside that you're willing to roll the dice and take your chances," Narinesingh told CBS." - NY Daily News SOURCE

Verdict reached in trial of Jackson's doctor

LOS ANGELES — The jury has reached a verdict in the case against Michael Jackson's doctor. The verdict will be read at about 4 p.m. ET to allow families and other parties time to return to the courthouse.
The seven-man, five-woman panel had to be unanimous on their decision to either convict or acquit Dr. Conrad Murray of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's June 2009 death. They began deliberating Friday and did not meet over the weekend. Overall they deliberated for about nine hours. Video: Watch KNBC's live coverage leading up to verdict (on this page)
After hearing the news, Jackson's sister La Toya tweeted "Verdict is FINALLY IN!!! I'm on my way! I'm shaking uncontrollably!"

During closing arguments of the six-week trial, attorneys for the Houston-based cardiologist attacked prosecutors and their witnesses, saying they had over time developed stories and theories that placed the blame for Jackson's death squarely on Murray.
Prosecutors countered that Murray was an opportunistic and inept doctor who left Jackson's three children without a father. They said that Murray giving Jackson propofol as a sleep aid violated standards of care and amounted to a secret experiment in which the doctor kept no records.

Jurors heard from 49 witnesses and have more than 300 pieces of evidence to consider. They were given lengthy instructions by the judge about how to deliberate.
If Murray is convicted, he faces a sentence ranging from probation to four years behind bars, and he would lose his medical license. The sentence will be decided by Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor after receiving input from attorneys for both sides and probation officials, if necessary.

A recent change in California law means that Murray, 58, might serve any possible incarceration in a county jail rather than a state prison. A prison term could be shortened by overcrowding.
If acquitted, Murray could still be pursued by medical licensing authorities in the states of California, Nevada and Texas.
