Jackson Family Protest Over Involuntary Manslaughter Charge
Today, after news broke about Conrad Murray’s arrest, Brian Oxman, Michael Jackson’s father’s lawyer, said in an interview that the involuntary manslaughter charge against Conrad Murray angers the Jackson family. He said that Murray’s negligence in caring for his sick patient was so severe that any charge less than “second-degree murder” is very unfair.
In the state of California, the maximum sentence for involuntary manslaughter is four years in prison.
Murray’s arrest warrant is expected to be issued today for involuntary manslaughter, and according to his lawyer, if the order is issued, his client will surrender to the police. Murray is currently in Los Angeles consulting with his legal team.
