Los Angeles, CA - Dr. Conrad Murray has been sentenced to four years in custody in the death of Michael Jackson.
Three weeks ago, Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death.
Prosecutors successfully argued that Murray's reckless use of the surgical anesthetic propofol to help Jackson sleep, without proper monitoring equipment, led to the singer's death.
Testimony during Murray's trial revealed that he gave propofol nearly every night in the two months before the singer's June 25, 2009, death as Jackson prepared for upcoming comeback concerts in London.
