Earlier today Michael Jackson’s physician, Conrad Murray, appeared in an LA courtroom to face charges of involuntary manslaughter. He pleaded not guilty, but if he’s convicted he will face up to four years in prison.
After an 8 month investigation, prosecutors charged the cardiologist with administering a lethal dose of painkillers and anesthetics to the pop star just hours before his death on June 25. Many of Jacksons family members were in court including his mother and father, Jermaine, Tito, Randy, Jackie and LaToya.
Murray’s bail is set at 75,000 and while he is still allowed to practice cardiology, Judge Keith Shwartz told him that he is not allowed to sedate anybody. Toxicology reports indicate that Murray administered propofol and a mixture of other sedatives that were the cause of Jackson’s death. We will keep you informed as the story unfolds.
