Paul Grays Doctor Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

…jeez man if you can be charged without purposely killing anybody then what can’t you be charged for? The doctor of late Slipknot bassist Paul GrayDr. Daniel Baldi has been charged with multiple counts of the crime. He prescribed dangerously high amounts of a painkiller that Gray was said to have taken and led to his death as well as other patients.

Now, i’m not here to get into a medical or legal discussion but this seems a little over the top. I don’t know all the facts and I am just basing my thoughts off of this article but it seems rather strange that a doctor can be sent to jail for somebody else’s fault. Yes, he prescribed the medicine as he deemed fit but the former drug addict abused it and died. Not saying it’s Grays fault but we have to put blame where blame needs to go. Dr. Baldi shouldn’t have prescribed these to a known drug addict and Gray should have been under better control.

About Matthew Kuritz

Born in 1989 in a small town in South Carolina, Matthew was raised on metal. His father, a huge KISS and other classic rock/metal fan and his brother wh owas raised during he hay-day of Hair Metal and Grunge, Matthew was made to do this. I digest any and all music that comes my way; not just metal. Metal for me strikes the rebellious, angry, and energizing nerve that no other music can. Metal has the most talent, most feeling, and most power than any kind of music. I am always up for discussing anything and everything involving metal and other music.
