Dr. Conrad Murray receives four-year prison for involuntary manslaughter

Dr. Conrad Murray was sentenced to a maximum four-year prison on Tuesday by the Judge Michael Pastor after nearly half-hour of tongue lashing. Murray was denounced as a remorseless and greedy physician as his experiment killed the King of Pop Michael Jackson,
committing a horrific violation of trust.     

Dr. Conrad Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter by overdosing anesthetic propofol which resulted in the death of Michael Jackson. The prosecutors demanded four year’s prison for the former Jackson’s doctor and their appeal was certified on Tuesday.
 

Since the ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson died in 2009, the autopsy report addressed one of the major unanswered questions regarding how Michael was treated, especially during the last hours before his death.

The case continued since then when the prosecutors claimed that the death of the megastar was as a result of doctor’s ignorance on treating Jackson. The defendants gave their opinion however the Los Angeles District Court finally convicted Dr. Conrad Murray
of involuntary manslaughter on 7^th November.

While supporting the four year sentence, the prosecutors argued, "Instead of utilizing his medical knowledge and training to provide Mr. Jackson with proper medical care, the defendant acted as an employee and as a drug dealer and completely corrupted the
trust necessary in a proper doctor-patient relationship,"

On the other hand, the defence attorney of Conrad Murray filed a separate request to convince Los Angeles trial Judge Michael Pastor that his client should receive probation. The defence attorney claimed that Doctor Murray was very saddened on the death
of Michael Jackson himself and is a broken-hearted man who has not forgot the incident that happened to his client.

However, considering Michael Jackson’s death was as a result of experimental medication and abandoning him at his most vulnerable situation, Pastor sentenced four-year prison to Dr. Murray.
