Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray has been sentenced to four years behind bars for his role in the death of the pop superstar but the sentence could be lesser because of overcrowding in California jails, according to reports.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter earlier this month after a six-week trial that presented the most detailed account yet of Jackson’s final hours, and how the 58-year-old cardiologist administered the powerful anesthetic propofol to treat the superstar’s chronic insomnia.
Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor chastised Murray for a “horrific violation of trust” in caring for the pop star and called the heavy use of propofol “medicine madness.”
RIP Michael Jackson.
