Michael Jackson's doctor to face criminal charges


Michael Jackson's doctor will be charged in connection with the pop star's death next week, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office confirmed Friday. A terse two-sentence statement said charges against Conrad Murray would be filed on Monday followed by an arraignment hearing. The statement did not state what charges Murray would face. However, a law enforcement source speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed to AFP Murray would be charged with involuntary manslaughter. The announcement followed days of speculation about the possibility of criminal charges being filed against Murray, the Houston-based physician who was with Jackson shortly before the pop icon died suddenly in June. Murray had initially been expected to surrender to custody on Friday ahead of a court hearing but charges were delayed amid reports of a disagreement between prosecutors and the Los Angeles Police Department.
