The headlines keep coming for the late Michael Jackson even in his grave.

Today his private doctor, Conrad Murray, was charged with involuntary manslaughter in a Los Angeles court.

The court heard today that Murray had injected Jackson with the sedative propofol before he died, and that the dose was lethal enough to result in his death.

But while the charges may see Murray spend at least four years behind bars, the Jackson family is not happy with the courts decision. They feel the doctor deserves to be hit with a murder charge instead.

Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson summed it up in just three simple words: “ It’s not enough.”

But it is the pop kings father who I set to take things further and according to his family lawyer Brian Oxman is set to sue Murray.

“This is a doctor who administered this anesthetic drug to Michael over and over again, many times, and did not have resuscitation equipment or monitors,” Mr Oxman said.

“He had no drugs that could reverse the effects of the anesthetic then says ‘Oh gee, I didn’t mean to’.”

Dr. Murray pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charge and has paid the $86,000 fee to be released on bail.

It is believed he was on a $160,000 a month wage to care for Jackson and prepare him for his scheduled comeback tour.

Outside the court, thousands of fans held signs of protest and anger, screaming out chants to send Murray away for life.
