As we reported yesterday, Michael Jackon's doctor, Conrad Murray, was set to enter a guilty plea in court yesterday. As the Jackson family looked on, he did just that. Dr. Murray pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges.
According to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, Jackson’s death was ruled a homocide by drug overdose with Dr. Murray administering the music legend the powerful anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives to help him sleep.
Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz released Dr. Murray on $75,000 bail, ordered him to turn in his passport and return to court April 5 to set a date for his preliminary hearing. Dr. Murray’s involuntary manslaughter charge alleges Murray “did unlawfully and without malice kill Michael Joseph Jackson”. If convicted, Murray, who’s currently out on bail, could face up to four years in prison.
