Dr. Conrad Murray Pleads Not Guilty in Michael Jackson's Death
Dr. Conrad Murray pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson on Tuesday, setting up a high-profile trial in which prosecutors will try to prove it was his gross negligence that killed the legendary singer.
Katherine Jackson and her son Randy were among family members that attended the arraignment hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court.
If convicted, Murray could face a maximum of four years in prison. His medical license has been suspended pending the outcome of the trial. If found guilty, Murray will likely never practice medicine again.
Murray has been the focal point of an investigation since Jackson died June 25, 2009, at age 50. Murray acknowledged that he administered the hospital anesthetic propofol and other sedatives as Jackson, a chronic insomniac, struggled to sleep.
A coroner testified during a six-day preliminary that Jackson died of a propofol overdose in combination with other drugs. His death was classified as a homicide. The official coroner's report stated that the standards for administering the drug were not met -- including a lack of necessary monitoring equipment.
In the hearing, Murray said he gave Jackson a low dose of propofol on June 25 after spending several hours trying to get the star to sleep using other drugs. He said that he was just trying to help his client overcome insomnia, but it was pointed out that propofol is a powerful surgical anesthetic and not intended for home use.
When it appeared that the propofol was working, Murray said he left the room, but when he returned, he found Jackson not breathing.
When the star appeared to doze off, Murray said he left the room for two minutes to go to the bathroom, then returned to find Jackson not breathing. He delayed calling 911 for between 25 minutes and an hour while he tried to revive him, testimony showed.
"He abandoned his patient and didn't resuscitate appropriately. That's the key," said Dr. Richard Ruffalo, an anesthesiologist who testified for the prosecution.
Murray's behavior before and after Jackson stopped breathing was detailed by household staff and paramedics. It was backed up with phone records, e-mails and most importantly, a transcript of Murray's nearly three-hour interview with police.
Legal experts say Murray has a tough fight ahead of him if he truly believes he is not guilty.
Criminal defense attorney Steve Cron told the AP that Murray's defense team must answer critical questions about the doctor's actions, including why he delayed calling 911 and why he failed to tell medics he had given propofol. "All these are little bits of evidence," said Cron. "None of them alone caused his death, but all together they may have."
Jackson's family and friends are understandably eager to seek justice in the singer's death. Longtime friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach told PopEater that Murray needs to pay for his inaction.
"Here is a doctor, who essentially acted as a pusher, now denying any and all responsibility for dispensing to Michael a truckload of prescription drugs that eventually killed him," the rabbi told us. "Bodyguards have already testified that as emergency workers came to try to save Michael's life, Murray was gathering bottles of pills and removing them from the scene of the tragedy."

MJ Pushed Dr. To Improperly Give Son Anesthesia
TMZ has learned ... Michael Jackson subjected one of his children to the same risky medical treatment that eventually killed him.
Sources tell TMZ ... Michael cajoled a Las Vegas dentist into performing a procedure on Blanket in July, 2008, that involved putting the boy under anesthesia for 2 hours in a dental office that did not have the necessary permit for anesthesia.
TMZ has obtained internal documents from the Nevada Board of Dental Examiners, which detail Michael Jackson's interactions with Dr. Mark Tadrissi. According to the documents, Tadrissi told Michael he couldn't perform the procedure on Blanket because he lacked the permit.
According to the Board's investigator, Michael didn't want to hear about permits and told the doctor, "Have an anesthesiologist do whatever type of sedation required."
Tadrissi capitulated and performed the 2 hour procedure on Blanket ... who was 6 years old at the time. An anesthesiologist had Blanket sedated the entire time.
Now here's where it gets mysterious. The Board -- which learned of Tadrissi's actions after Michael died -- initiated a disciplinary action against Tadrissi for allowing Blanket to be anesthetized in his office. The Board also went after Dr. Tadrissi for allowing Michael to receive Propofol in his office, without the proper permit.
Dr. Tadrissi struck a deal with the Board in 2010 in which he was sanctioned. In a draft of the report, the Board based the sanctions on his treatment of both Blanket and Michael. But in the final version of the report Blanket was taken completely out -- there is no mention of the boy or his treatment.
One source connected with the investigation tells TMZ ... pressure was put on the Board to omit Blanket from the report, and when the final version was issued, the discipline was based solely on Michael's treatment.

Dr. Conrad Murray's Medical License Suspended, Ordered to Stand Trial Over Michael Jackson's Death
Conrad Murray, the physician accused of injecting Michael Jackson with a lethal amount of sedatives, was ordered to stand trial on a count of involuntary manslaughter. According to TMZ, Judge Michael Pastor then ordered the suspension of Murray's license as a condition to the doctor's bail.
E! Online reports that Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charge. This ruling comes only six days after more than 20 prosecution witnesses testified that Murray violated his duties as a medical professional by injecting Jackson with a surgical-grade anesthetic then failing to properly monitor him to see the effects of the drug.
One of Jackson's bodyguards, Alberto Alvarez, testified at the preliminary hearing against Murray, confirming that the doctor demonstrated "an extreme deviation from the standard of care" by administering the amounts of anesthetic he did to Jackson, then concealing the evidence and not thoroughly attempting to resuscitate the King of Pop.
Janet Jackson was outspoken about her belief that Murray was responsible for her brother's death. "He was the one that was administering," she told ABC's Robin Roberts. "I think he is responsible."
