"Dr. Murray created a set of circumstances and became involved in a cycle of horrible medicine," the judge said. "The practice of propofol for medicine madness, which violated his sworn obligation, for money, fame prestige and whatever else may have occurred," the judge added.
A call placed by Access Hollywood to Nareg Gourjian, one of the attorneys who represented Dr. Murray during his trial, was not immediately returned.
