Michael Jackson Doctor Pleads Not Guilty Over King Of Pop's Death

January 25, 2011
Michael Jackson Doctor Pleads Not Guilty Over King Of Pop's DeathMichael Jackson’s doctor has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.

Appearing at his arraignment today (January 25), Dr Conrad Murray told Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor he was an “innocent man”.

Jury selection is due to begin on March 28 and Pastor said he was “inclined” to allow the trial to be broadcast live on TV, reports CNN.

Prosecutors have accused Dr Murray of administering Jackson with a lethal dose of the anaesthetic propofol on the day that he died in June 2009.

He has admitted giving the King of Pop the drug but said he did not give the star enough to kill him.

Dr Murray, who was working with Jackson ahead of his ill-fated comeback gigs, could face four years in prison if convicted.
