Murray faces irate crowd and Jackson family
Comments like 'Murderer', 'Justice for Michael' were heard when Murray entered the court along with his attorney Ed. Chernoff.

In court, Murray faced Jackson's father Joe, mother Katherine, and siblings La Toya, Jermanie, Tito, Jackie and Randy.

After emerging from court, Joe Jackson declared, "My son was murdered."

On an interview with CNN's Larry King, Joe told that he believed Murray was not the only person behind his son's death. He said, “Michael said it himself that he would be killed. He even told his kids that he would be murdered."

The Superior court judge Keith L. Schwartz ordered Murray not to leave the country nor give any patient an anesthetic. He was fined $75,000 and was allowed to leave. The judge told him to be present for preliminary hearing on April 5.

If found guilty, Murray would be in prison for four years. He was allowed to continue his medical practice but the prosecutors were trying to revoke his license.

Allegations and denials
Murray, 56, was hired in May 2009 to prepare Jackson for his comeback performances.

After the death of the pop star, Murray, the personal physician, was the main focus of police’s investigation as Los Angeles Coroner's office report stated that Jackson's death was a homicide.

Coroner had said, “Jackson's death was caused by propofol and sedative Lorazepam. Other painkillers and sedatives were also found in his body."

As per the court records, Murray claimed that he did nothing wrong as Jackson was given Propofol many times before.

New York Defence attorney Joseph Di Benedetto said, "It's clear this case will be a battle of medical experts."
