Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's doctor
Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson’s former personal physician, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death that officials have ruled was due mainly to an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol, among several drugs.
Dr. Murray pleaded not guilty to the charge and is facing up to 4 years in prison and may have his medical license revoked.
The king of pop’s fans were chanting “murderer” as the doctor entered the courthouse in Los Angeles. Dr. Conrad Murray posted bail of USD75,000 and was allowed to leave, though advised not to leave the country.
The defense attorney, Ed Chernoff, told reporters outside the courthouse that this has been a nightmare on his client and that one of the reasons is the loss of his dear friend [Michael Jackson].
