The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office on Monday morning filed its long-awaited case against Conrad Murray, the Houston physician who was with Michael Jackson during the pop star's last hours in June. Murray "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson...in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection," argues the District Attorney's office in a statement released Monday. Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter and was expected to appear Monday afternoon for arraignment at the LAX courthouse.
If convicted Murray would face a maximum of four years behind bars. Deputy District Attorney David Walgren has been announced as the case's lead prosecutor.

Amid shouts of "murderer!" from the onlookers, Michael Jackson's personal physician surrendered Monday to a courthouse to face a charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Dr. Conrad Murray, 57, who once was paid $150,000 a month to treat Jackson before a major comeback concert series, was expected to plead not guilty to the charge filed earlier in the day by the Los Angeles District Attorney.

The Caribbean-raised physician was driven up in an SUV at the court building near Los Angeles International Airport. Sheriff’s deputies escorted him inside as the crowed yelled.

Earlier, Jackson’s family members, including his parents, also arrived for the hearing.

I suspect he can plead down to a lesser sentence, and he would be wise to do so.
