Los Angeles prosecutors filed a long-anticipated involuntary manslaughter charge against Michael Jackson's personal physician Monday as the coroner's office made public a report concluding that the care the singer received in the final hours of his life violated accepted medical standards.
Dr. Conrad Murray, a cardiologist hired to care for Jackson during the pop star's ambitious comeback attempt last year, pleaded not guilty before a courtroom near Los Angeles International Airport packed with international media and members of the entertainer's famous family. Outside, a handful of fans held signs and wore T-shirts reading "Justice for Michael."
