LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge says the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Michael Jackson’s death will be held without bail until he is sentenced later this month.
Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor says Murray will be taken into custody until he is sentenced on Nov. 29.
A seven-man, five-woman jury convicted Murray of being substantially responsible for Jackson’s June 2009 death on Monday after less than nine hours of deliberations. He was handcuffed in the courtroom.
The Houston-based cardiologist faces a possible sentence of probation to four years behind bars. He will also lose his medical license.
Murray was charged in February 2010 and has remained free on bail.
