Jackson’s doctor charged with manslaughter
Dr. Conrad Murray, personal physician to Michael Jackson, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the pop star’s death last summer.
A criminal complaint filed earlier Monday alleged that Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson.”
Murray turned himself in shortly before 4 p.m. at a branch courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport. He pleaded not guilty during a hearing before Judge Keith L. Schwartz.
Members of Jackson’s family, including his parents, Joe and Katherine and three of his brothers, had arrived at the courthouse before Murray. Asked for his reaction to the charge, brother Jermaine Jackson said, “Not enough.”
The involuntary manslaughter charge means that Murray caused Jackson’s death by acting “without due caution and circumspection.”
If convicted, Murray would face a maximum four-year prison sentence, according to prosecutors.
