Earlier this month we learned that Conrad Murray was found guilty of the manslaughter death of Michael Jackson and today we learn the fate of his conviction. Murray was back in court this morning to be sentenced for the crime he was convicted of and the ruling judge decided to throw the book at him. The maximum punishment for manslaughter is 4 years in prison … and that is exactly the sentence that Murray got slapped with. BUT, not so fast … because of a new law in California, Murray will NOT go to prison — he’ll go to jail instead. Nor will he serve the full 4 years — he’ll likely be out after 2 years. In addition, Murray has been ordered to pay restitution of about $900. So that works out to … 2 years in jail and $900 for the death of Michael Jackson. I guess justice has been served.

The jury in the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray has found him guilty in the criminal death of Michael Jackson. It took this jury of 12 people just 9 hours over two days to decide that Conrad Murray is guilty of the involuntary manslaughter death of MJ.

Back in September, the Conrad Murray trial to determine if he was criminally negligent in the death of Michael Jackson got underway and all these weeks later we are finally nearing the end … and are very close to a verdict of guilt or innocence. The prosecution and the defense both offered their closing arguments yesterday before the court went into recess for the day. Today is the first day that the jury begins to deliberate … very soon, we could have a verdict … it could even come today! It won’t be long now … the final countdown to a ruling in the Conrad Murray trial has begun.

The manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, the man accused of causing the death of Michael Jackson in June of 2009, is officially underway today as opening statements in the trail begin. First up, the prosecution is laying out an overview of its case against Murray then the defense will be allowed to lay out an overview of their case. Click below to see some photos from inside the courtroom here in LA this morning and watch a livestream of the trial as opening statements take place.

For the past week, a preliminary hearing took place here in LA to determine if there is enough evidence to warrant a full trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who was charged last February with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. After 6 days and 20 witnesses, Judge Michael Pastor ruled that more than enough evidence exists to send Conrad Murray to trial … and as a result, Murray‘s medical license has been suspended.

At long last, authorities in charge of the Michael Jackson Death Investigation have charged MJ‘s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray in his death. Murray showed up at court today, as did members of the immediate Jackson family, to face a charge of Involuntary Manslaughter in regards to MJ‘s sudden death last Summer. Here are photos of Dr. Murray, Katherine Jackson (MJ‘s mother) and La Toya Jackson (MJ‘s older sister) arriving at court and deets of the just launched criminal trial proceedings:

Nearly eight months after Michael Jackson died suddenly, his personal physician was charged Monday with involuntary manslaughter for providing him with a powerful anesthetic that was ruled a major factor in his death. The filing of the charges capped an investigation that revealed Mr. Jackson’s heavy reliance on narcotics, including propofol, an anesthetic normally used in surgery but administered to Mr. Jackson, 50, as a sleep aid. The doctor, Conrad Murray, a cardiologist with offices in Houston and Las Vegas, had acknowledged giving Mr. Jackson the drug shortly before the singer was found unconscious on June 25 in a rented mansion here, according to police affidavits. The coroner determined that Mr. Jackson had died from “acute propofol intoxication,” combined with other sedatives. Dr. Murray, 56, who arrived in Los Angeles last week trailed by paparazzi, has maintained through his lawyer that nothing he gave Mr. Jackson should have caused his death. If convicted, he faces a possible maximum four-year state prison term. Dr. Murray arrived at the Airport Courthouse here shortly before his arraignment was scheduled to begin, at 1:30 p.m. Pacific time, escorted by lawyers and sheriff’s deputies and without handcuffs. At least 24 television trucks and journalists yammering in a multitude of languages were awaiting his arrival, along with a smattering of fans, some bearing signs “Justice for Michael.” A Jackson impersonator did his moves, sometimes prompted, sometimes not. About an hour earlier, some members of the Jackson family had arrived in S.U.V.’s. Mr. Jackson’s father, Joseph — in sunglasses, a black suit and fedora, and red tie — paused by the curb, waiting for the others. Jermaine Jackson, the singer’s brother, and his wife, Halima Rashid, held hands as they walked toward the doors, followed by his sister, La Toya, in a bright pink blazer. The family members were escorted by five sheriff’s deputies, who then clustered by the entrance as they funneled in. The charge came after a week of negotiations between Dr. Murray’s lawyers and prosecutors that one of his lawyers said bogged down over whether Dr. Murray should be handcuffed and arrested, as opposed to surrendering at a courthouse in a more low-key way … Dr. Murray, according to police affidavits, was administering propofol to Mr. Jackson — the singer called it his “milk” — to help him sleep on the morning of June 25. Dr. Murray said he left the room for approximately two minutes to make a telephone call and found Mr. Jackson had stopped breathing when he returned. Efforts to revive Mr. Jackson at the house and a hospital were not successful, and the investigation of his death quickly focused on the drugs he was taking. Dr. Murray had no previous brush with celebrity until he began working as Mr. Jackson’s personal physician in May, after meeting him through an acquaintance in Las Vegas. He was promised $150,000 a month and had planned to accompany Mr. Jackson on his comeback tour, 50 concerts in London that were scheduled for July 2009 through next month.

This charge of Involuntary Manslaughter sounds about right to me. As I said before, I sincerely doubt that Dr. Murray intended to kill Michael Jackson. While it will be up to a jury of his peers to determine if he is guilty of his crime, I still believe that MJ‘s death was not intentional. This court case is bond to be a media circus … especially since Michael Jackson is so well-known. After the jump, find out what TMZ has discovered from the final coroner’s report relating to MJ‘s death and see what sort of evidence Dr. Murray is up against in this case against him …

Dr. Conrad Murray, the late Michael Jackson‘s personal physician who was attending him at the time of his death and is about to be arrested and charged for the murder of MJ, paid a visit to the Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park, MJ‘s tomb in particular, Wednesday afternoon. Murray was photographed spending some alone time in front of MJ‘s mausoleum tomb just days before the authorities plan to arrest and charge him with murder … could he be lookin’ for a bit of absolution before the media circus of his murder trial gets underway?

With charges in the death of Michael Jackson looming over his head, Dr. Conrad Murray sought out peace in an unlikely location — Jackson’s final resting place. Murray showed up at Forest Lawn Memorial Park on Wednesday afternoon to visit the tomb of the man he may or may not have accidentally killed. Murray was seen outside the mausoleum, but not inside.

HMMM. I’m convinced that Dr. Murray honestly believes that he did not murder Michael Jackson and, whatever his crime(s) may turn out to be, he very likely did NOT intend for Jackson to lose his life. That’s not to say that he isn’t guilty and may not be punished for his actions … it just means the weight of his actions as they relate to MJ‘s death are prolly weighing on him very heavily right about now. It will be up to the courts to decide if he is guilty of MJ‘s death … but I am, personally, of the mind that while he prolly did have a hand in his death, he is not a murderer. This case is so complicated, I’m sure of it. Michael Jackson lived a life where he got exactly what he wanted, when he wanted. If he wanted to use Propofol to go to sleep he was going to find a doctor that was going to give it to him. I honestly believe that if it wasn’t Dr. Murray who did as MJ demanded then it would’ve been another doctor in Murray‘s place right now. It was prolly quite a boon to be selected as Michael Jackson‘s personal physician … but, as it turns out, things don’t always work out the way we plan. Dr. Murray will get his day in court … but I don’t blame the man for sweating bullets and lookin’ for a bit of absolution before his trial gets underway.

Reports have been flying around all weekend long that suggest that Dr. Conrad Murray, the personal physician who was present when Michael Jackson died last June, will be charged with his death in the wake of the release of MJ‘s amended Death Certificate. The new document lists homicide by way of intravenous injection by another as the cause of death. Considering Dr. Murray was the one injecting the dangerous drug Propofol into MJ to put him to sleep, I’d say those reports might be pretty right on:

The late pop legend – who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 – was last seen alive by his personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who is now likely to be criminally charged with Michael’s death in the next couple of weeks. Detectives working on Michael’s death completed their investigation last month and the case will now be formally presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney. A source told gossip website TMZ the investigation was “exhaustive” and “extremely thorough” and there was enough evidence for a criminal case against Dr. Murray. The case is particularly complicated because the doctor did not break any laws by administering Propofol to the ‘Thriller’ singer but he could be charged with involuntary manslaughter, relating to gross negligence. Dr. Murray – who did not have any criminal charges brought against him immediately after Jackson’s passing – has since returned to the Armstrong Medical Clinic in Houston, Texas, where he has been treating patients.

Yeah, it should come as no surprise that Dr. Murray is the one who’s gonna take the heat on this one and I cannot imagine that, if charged, he will evade punishment in some form. Still, technically, he could prove that he did nothing wrong criminally and could get off with a slap on the wrist or even scott free. It’s only a matter of time before we hear that he has been formally charged … and then the circus of his trial will get underway. It shant be long now.

Dr. Conrad Murray, the embattled physician who stands accused and is being investigated for having a hand in the death of Michael Jackson, released a video statement to the Internets yesterday in order to speak out publicly for the first time since MJ‘s death last June. The 1 minute video statement is directed to Dr. Murray‘s patients and supporters wherein he expresses this thanks and gratitude for their loyalty:

Dr. Conrad Murray, the personal physician to Michael Jackson who is currently being investigated for manslaughter because of his involvement in the singer’s death, took to the Internet on Tuesday (August 18) to record a video statement addressing his family, friends and fans. The one-minute clip shows Murray speaking directly to the camera and thanking supporters for reaching out to him. “I want to thank all of my patients and friends who have sent such kind e-mails, letters and messages to let me know of your support and prayers for me and my family,” Murray said in the clip. He explained that creating the video message was his only course of action to get back to those who have reached out to him, as he has been reluctant to make contact directly. “Because of all that has been going on, I am afraid to return phone calls or use my e-mail,” he said. “I have not been able to thank you personally, which, as you know, is not normal for me.” Last week, investigators raided a Las Vegas pharmacy in search of evidence against Murray, who has been accused of providing Jackson with highly dangerous combinations of drugs, including Propofol. A storage unit in Houston belonging to Murray has also been searched. Murray also used the video to put his supporters at ease. “Your messages give me strength and courage and keep me going,” he said in the clip. “Please, don’t worry. As long as I keep God in my heart and you in my life, I will be fine. I have done all I could do. I told the truth, and I have faith that truth will prevail.” Jackson’s autopsy — along with a full toxicology report — should help determine the next step in Murray’s ongoing legal problems.

In the clip, Murray uses a slow and careful tone that, I assume, is meant to instill confidence in the viewer but only, IMHO, serves to make him look and sound creepy as HELL! After the jump, check out Dr. Murray‘s video message in full and judge for yourselves …
