The L.A. County District Attorney has charged Dr. Conrad Murray with involuntary manslaughter in the death of the King of Pop.

Prosecutors say Murray "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson." Jackson died last June after he was given the powerful sedative propofol by Dr. Murray to help him sleep. Many have criticized Murray's use of propofol, saying this drug should only be used in a surgical setting.

Murray is in court today to be arraigned on the charges. If convicted, he could face up to four years in state prison. He has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death Jackson.

The court has restricted Murray's medical license. He can no longer work with or possess any heavy sedatives, but can still practice medicine and prescribe meds, but not sedatives.

I read that Murray attorneys said it has been a nightmare experience for Murray. Well what about Michael and his family even his children especially. I don’t feel sorry for this doctor or anything he goes through. He had no right to take Michaels life. Don’t care what his attorneys say about what he is experiencing. This doctor should loose his license permanently and have a more strictor charge than he got. What about Michael’s children they are the ones who are suffering the most. They won’t be able to celebrate any more birthdays, christmas or other celebrations with their father because of this so called doctor.
