Conrad Murray ordered to pay $100 Million in restitution and serve 4 years in prison
Conrad Murray, the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, was sentenced to four years imprisonment, the maximum punishment the judge could deliver.
“Some may feel that this was a medical malpractice case. It wasn’t. And this jury found that Conrad Murray, with criminal negligence, caused the death of Michael Jackson,” Judge Michael Pastor said before revealing the sentence. “The fact is, Michael Jackson died because of the actions of, and the failures to perform legal duties on the part of, Conrad Murray.”
In addition to the jail time the Court ordered Murray to pay an astonishing $100 Million in resitution–an amount Murray will never be able to pay. The doctor will inevitably have his medical license universally revoked, ensuring that he never treats another patient again and also crippling his financial means.
