Conrad Murrey, who treated Michael Jackson during his last days, has been ordered by a judge to stand trial on involuntary manslaughter charges in the pop star’s death. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor also revoked Murray’s medical license till the trial.
The judge said the testimony presented during the hearing into Murray’s treatment of the star had convinced him that allowing the cardiologist to keep his licence “would constitute an imminent danger to public safety”. Evidence presented by prosecutors showed “a direct nexus and connection between the acts and omissions of Dr Murray and the homicide in this case,” Pastor said. —PTI
