Conrad Murray to Be Sentenced on Tuesday

Conrad Murray, the disgraced doctor recently found culpable and convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop legend Michael Jackson, is set to be sentenced Tuesday, November 29.

According to the judge and prosecution’s less-than-kind words for Murray, the sentence is not expected to be light. According to reports, it is said that Murray has been recommended to be given the maximum four-year sentence.

"Dr. Murray's reckless conduct in this case poses a demonstrable risk to the safety of the public," said Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor to Murray on the day of his conviction, November 7.

The prosecution, who is seeking $1.2 million in restitution for Jackson’s orphaned children, as well as payback for the $100 million that would have been made during Jackson's London concerts, chided Murray for his comments in a documentary filmed about the trial, in which he said he didn’t feel guilt or responsibility for Jackson’s death.

"Finally, the defendant consistently blames the victim for his own death, even going so far as to characterize himself as being 'entrapped' by the victim and as someone who suffered a 'betrayal' at the hands of the victim,” said the prosecution team on Murray’s conviction date.

"There is no question that the death of his patient, Mr. Jackson, was unintentional and an enormous tragedy for everyone affected. Dr. Murray has been described as a changed, grief-stricken man, who walks around under a pall of sadness since the loss of his patient, Mr. Jackson."

The defense hopes to get Murray a more lenient sentence by providing favorable testimony from his former patients.
