Dr. Conrad Murray's conviction for the manslaughter of Michael Jackson could result in up to four years in prison, but it is possible that the doctor can not go to jail.
"It will be very difficult to achieve an appropriate sentence of imprisonment of Conrad Murray," said District Attorney Steve Cooley Monday. Overcrowding in California prisons and the lack of criminal record Murray is likely that the main factors in his sentencing.
Michael Jackson was 50 when he died June 25, 2009, in preparation for his "This Is It" tour, a show of return expected to restore him as a superstar. Murray was accused of causing the death of the singer for the administration of the powerful anesthetic propofol and not properly monitoring their patients or take appropriate action after Jackson stopped breathing.
A combination of factors that play into the decision Murray is ready for November 29, Judge Michael Pastor. After Monday's verdict Pastor rejected a request by lawyers for the doctor to allow to remain free until sentencing, stating that "public safety demands that it be returned" to jail.
Cooley DA also said the felony conviction would result in the Murray automatic suspension of his medical license in California, and hopes that other states will comply conviction in California.
The lightest sentence that Murray could receive is probation, and that Murray is a defendant with no criminal record - a factor that Pastor judge will consider.
However, the high profile nature of the case could also play a role in decision-Pastor, and if their attitude toward the crime of Murray on Monday was any indication, they can not go lightly.
"This is not a crime involving a misjudgment," said the pastor. "This is a crime where the end result was the death of a human being. This factor dramatically demonstrates that the public should be protected."
Speaking on "Good Morning America" this morning, the lawyer Nareg Gourdjian Murray said he expected his client to be taken to jail on Monday.
"We surprised everyone by returning judge Dr. Murray," he said Gourdjian. "We think that due to the type of crime and lack of criminal record that the judge should have thrown at your own risk pending sentencing. But I think the judge's response is a pretty good indication that, possibly, how to respond in sentencing. "
"There are a number of factors that the court should take into account that would be the type of crime, Dr. Murray's lack of criminal record - on the basis that we hope that the judge imposes a sentence of probation with a little, case, the time of the county jail. That's what we're hoping, that's what we're expecting, but, again, the judge may impose a state prison to be a minimum period of two years, half of period of three years and the higher term of four years. "
Another important factor in Murray's sentence could be the recent realignment of prison California Assembly Bill 109, which has led to offenders receive sentences reduced or alternate.
"I think, unfortunately, due to the AB 109 - a fully potential failures is already underway - it will be very difficult to achieve an appropriate sentence," Cooley said Monday.
If Murray were to be imprisoned, AB 109 will most likely guide the doctor away from going to state prison. Instead serve the sentence he received in a county jail in Los Angeles.
Another possibility is that Murray could serve his time at his home under house arrest, a phrase that most often comes as a result of overcrowding in prisons.
Speaking on "Good Morning America" Tuesday, ABC News legal analyst Dan Abrams agreed that the penalty of Murray probably not be as hard as possible.
"This is a crime in which little can serve almost no time behind bars, so to blow away the cuffs on him and send him to jail is clearly intended to send a message," said Abrams. "I think the judge is saying, in effect," I know he will not serve the kind of time that the public expects and wants to ensure that the public knows how serious I am treating this. "
"[It is] very hard for him still means a lot of time. Even if you put, in theory, the maximum of four years, which I think is unlikely, will not any of that. I think it's clearly a message by the judge, "Abrams said.
