Conrad Murray get 4 years in LA Co. Jail


(Yahoo.com)

Conrad Murray, the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, was sentenced to four years imprisonment, the maximum punishment the judge could deliver. The sentencing came nearly three weeks after a jury found Murray guilty of administering Jackson with a fatal dose of the powerful sedative Propofol.

Judge Michael Pastor said before revealing the sentence. “The fact is Michael Jackson died because of the actions of, and the failures to perform legal duties on the part of, Conrad Murray.”

In addition to the sentence, Murray was also ordered to pay Jackson’s children restitution estimated to be in the amount of $100 million dollars, a sum that combines the cost of Michael’s funeral arrangements, plus the lost wages and earnings the singer didn’t collect because he died before his “This Is It” concerts began.

Murray will inevitably have his medical license universally revoked, ensuring that he will never treat another patient again and also crippling his financial means.

A man who stole money from a Seattle store more than 60 years ago gave the cash back with interest, a store manager said.

Gary Lorentson, manager of the Sears store in downtown Seattle, said an elderly man came into the store around 10 a.m. Monday and gave an envelope labeled “Sears manager” to the customer service desk.

Lorentson said the envelope contained a $100 bill and a note.

“During the late (forties) I stole some money from the cash register in the amount of $20-$30,” the note read. “I want to pay you back this money in the amount of $100 to put in your theft account.”

Lorentson said the man did not identify himself.

“I think his conscience has been bothering him for the past 60 years,” the manager said.

He said the money will be put toward helping needy families during the holiday season.
