Remanded into custody immediately after the jury delivered the guilty verdict on November 7, Dr. Murray has been behind bars awaiting his fate. Judge Michael Pastor granted the prosecution their wish, saying Murray was a threat to the public and was now a convicted felon of a serious crime. He denied the defense, who argued to have him released until sentencing. Murray can get to up to 4 years in prison.
The Jackson family will reportedly be present in court for the sentencing and mom Katherine wants the judge to give Murray the maximum punishment. Murray's mom on the other hand, has reportedly written a letter to Judge Pastor begging for mercy for her son.
The doctor was found guilty of causing Michael Jackson's death by administering a lethal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol at the singer's mansion on June 25, 2009.
Check back for the sentencing. Will bring you updates as they become available.
