Doctor denies Jackson death charge
4:03am Tuesday 9th February 2010
Michael Jackson's doctor has appeared in court in the US charged over the star's death.
Dr Conrad Murray, a Houston cardiologist who was with Jackson when he died, pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter when he appeared at Los Angeles Superior Court.
He could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
Murray appeared in court in a grey suit as Jackson's father Joe, mother Katherine, and siblings LaToya, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Randy sat behind prosecutors.
Jackson hired Murray to be his personal physician as he prepared for a strenuous series of comeback performances.
Officials said the singer died in Los Angeles on June 25 after Murray administered the powerful general anaesthetic propofol and two other sedatives to get the chronic insomniac to sleep.
