Michael Jackson's doctor has been charged with
involuntary manslaughter in the pop singer's death.
Prosecutors announced the charge today against Dr Conrad
Murray, a Houston cardiologist who was with Jackson when he
died on June 25 last year. He faces up to four years in
prison if convicted.
Murray's attorney Ed Chernoff says Murray will plead not
guilty.
Jackson hired Murray to be his personal physician as he
prepared for a strenuous series of comeback performances in
London.
Officials say the singer died in Los Angeles after Murray
administered the powerful general anesthetic propofol and two
other sedatives to get the chronic insomniac to sleep.
