Michael Jackson doctor to be sentenced today
Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray is due back in court on Tuesday for sentencing, facing up to four years in prison after being convicted over the King of Pop's 2009 death, France 24 reported.
Prosecutors want Murray to get the maximum jail term and to be ordered to compensate the Jackson family for the star's loss of earnings, estimated at $100 million for the comeback shows he was preparing when he died.
But the 58-year-old medic's lawyer Ed Chernoff asked in submissions to court last week for his client to be given parole and community service, underlining that he will likely never practice medicine again.
