Michael Jackson's doctor found guilty of manslaughter

judgement\\ King of Pop, Michael Jackson’s physician Dr Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the matter of Jackson’s death, which happened in 2009. Murray had administered a powerful surgical anaesthetic to the singer hours before his death. The verdict came out at the end of a six week long trial which was headed by a jury of 12 members. Murray was slammed for his “unconscionable” professional practice and neglect of his patient, Michael Jackson. The doctor maintained his innocence to mediapersons even after the judgement. Michael Jackson’s family, which was present at the trial, greeted the verdict as a triumph of justice while fans who had gathered outside the courthouse and had spent the entire morning chanting “Justice for Michael”, screamed with joy as the jury gave their unanimous verdict on the cardiologist from Houston, Texas. Murray now faces up to four years in prison and his medical licence has been suspended. Ever since the verdict has been delivered, the doctor has been put on suicide watch in a Los Angeles prison. He has been assigned special protection by prison authorities to prevent him being attacked by other inmates.
