LOS ANGELES (AP) --

Michael Jackson's doctor has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the pop singer's death.

Prosecutors announced the charge Monday against Dr. Conrad
Murray, a Houston cardiologist who was with Jackson when he died
June 25.

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.

anon,it doesn't matter if MJ knew what he was taking or not.This is no difference than a drug dealer selling bad drugs to your son or daughter and killing them.Are you gonna say that your child should have researched the drugs or are you gonna go after the dealer?

this is stupid...like MJ didn't know what kinda pills he was taking....the doc just provided them, MJ could have done research on the pills before taking too much of it.

When he is found guilty - he will be known for eternity as the person who killed a Legend. MJ should have had the chance to grow old and even turn into a recluse like Howard Hughes.
