As reported by Spinner, Dr. Conrad Murray has been sentenced to four years behind bars following his conviction for involuntary manslaughter in the case of the death of Michael Jackson. This was the maximum sentence for the crime.

Judge Michael Pastor ruled that Murray would not receive probation, after the doctor's lawyers requested the more lenient sentence. "There is no question that the death of his patient, Mr. Jackson, was unintentional and an enormous tragedy for everyone affected," they wrote in their sentencing memo. The prosecutors, meanwhile, countered that Murray undertook a "dangerous, unprecedented pharmaceutical experiment" on Jackson.

Dr. Conrad Murray, who was accused of the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson, has been found guilty. He faces up to four years in prison and could have his medical license revoked.

The jury, which started deliberations on Friday, Nov. 4, announced it had a verdict on around 11AM PT on Monday, Nov. 7, and revealed its decision after 1PM PT from the courthouse in Los Angeles (the delay allowed for family members and others time to arrive).

Murray's defense team acknowledged that the doctor had given Jackson a low dose of the sedative Propofol on the day of his death, June 25, 20009, but that the singer self-administered more of the drug and ingested another sedative, Lorazepam, while the doctor was not present.

"Paris was on the ground balled-up crying and Prince, he was just standing there, he had a real shocked -- just slowly crying -- look on his face," Muhammed said.
