Michael Jackson’s
doctor, Conrad Murray
has been sentenced to four years behind bars.
According to Fox News, the 58-year-old, who was found guilty of Jacko’s involuntary manslaughter earlier this month, is due to serve his sentence in Los Angeles County jail.
But despite being given the maximum penalty, the King of pop’s family are outraged at the “lenient” ruling.
“It wasn’t enough time,” the late singer’s brother Jermaine told E! News as he left the LA court room.
While the ‘Beat It’ star’s mother Katherine echoed his sentiments, telling KTLA, that the verdict was “not enough for someone’s life,” before adding,
"Four years won't bring my son back.”
And in what’s sure to be a further blow to Michael’s nearest and dearest – police say it’s still unclear whether Murray, who was refused probation, will serve out his full sentence in prison.
"As far as the Sheriff is concerned, after the state takes away two years and he gets credit for time served, he will do a little less than two years," LA Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore told E! News.
