Michael Jackson Doctor Conrad Murray Keeps His Medical License For Now

A motion to revoke his license was shelved until June 14. By Shawn Adler Defense attorney John Michael Flanagan and Dr. Conrad Murray on Monday Photo: David McNew/AFP/Getty Images While embattled physician Conrad Murray is still fighting his involuntary-manslaughter charge in the death of pop star Michael Jackson, for now, he gets to keep his medical license. A motion by the California State Attorney General’s Office on behalf of the State Medical Board to revoke Conrad’s license was put on hold Monday afternoon (April 5) by Los Angeles Judge Michael Pastor, who shelved the matter until a procedural hearing scheduled for June 14, according to The Associated Press. Pastor, who reportedly wrote a letter of recommendation for the judgeship candidacy of prosecutor David Walgreen, was assigned the high-profile case earlier Monday by Supervising Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza. Many members of Jackson’s family were in attendance, including father Joe, mother Kathleen, sister Janet and brothers Randy and Jermaine. The hearing, which amounted to little more than legal housecleaning, stood in stark contrast to the somewhat circus atmosphere outside the courthouse. According to USA Today, large numbers of fans showed up, many holding signs and screaming, some even singing “We Are the World.” Murray, out on $75,000 bail, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s 2009 death of cardiac arrest. It is alleged that while serving as Jackson’s physician, Murray provided the singer with a lethal cocktail of sedatives, including dangerous amounts of the anesthetic propofol. Murray previously pleaded not guilty to all charges, which carry a penalty of up to four years in prison. Related Photos Michael Jackson: A Life In Photos Related Artists Michael Jackson
