Dr. Conrad Murray to stand trial for manslaughter.

Dr. Conrad Murray has been ordered to stand trial for manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor made his decision after witnesses testified that he administered a dose of a powerful anesthetic propofol and did not properly monitor the pop star.

During the preliminary hearing the court heard testimony that Murray had ordered hundreds of bottles of the drug in the months before Jackson’s death. Jackson’s bodyguard testified that on the morning of the singer’s death, Murray did not seem to know how to administer CPR to his dying patient.

Pastor granted the California Medical Board with their request to suspend Murray’s license to practice medicine in California. The judge ordered Murray to notify every district in which he practices of the decision within 24 hours. Murray has clinics in Houston and Las Vegas.

Murray pled not guilty. Murray faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

Dr. Conrad Murray may have his license taken.
