Michael Jackson’s Doctor Gets Four Years
Los Angeles Superior Court Justice Michael Pastor sentenced Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson’s doctor, to four years in jail for the involuntary manslaughter of the King of Pop. Judge Pastor declared Murray, 58, an unfit candidate for probation, stating, "He has absolutely no sense of remorse. [Murray] is and remains dangerous…I think Dr. Murray is so reckless that I believe he is a danger to the community."
The court will order Murray to pay restitution to the court in the amount of $800 and restitution to Jackson’s estate and children in an amount yet to be determined. Judge Pastor also ordered Murray to pay the $30 court security fee and a $40 criminal conviction assessment.
The decision of whether Murray will spend his sentence in a 23-hour lockdown cell or with the general jail population is left to the California Department of Corrections.

typo in headline - Michael Jackson’s "Attorney" Gets Four Years:
Maybe he should get 4 years, but so far it's the doctor that got 4 years...
