DOCTOR CONRAD MURRAY SENTENCING

On November 29, 2011 Doctor Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years in prison for the death of Michael Jackson. On November 7, 2011 a jury reached a verdict in the involuntary manslaughter case against Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray. Conrad Robert Murray has been found guilty in the crime of involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors depicted Murray as a reckless physician who abandoned Jackson while he was under the effects of the powerful anesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009. Attorneys for the Houston-based cardiologist countered that Jackson was addicted to the drug and self-administered the fatal dose when Murray left his bedroom. Murray agreed to become Jackson's personal physician as the singer prepared for a series of comeback concerts in 2009. Murray did not testify during the trial but previously acknowledged to police that he gave Jackson propofol and other sedatives on the morning the singer died. In this clip, Judge Michael Pastor says: "Even the people just acknowledged that, uh, Dr. Murray did not intend for Mr. Jackson to die."
