Conrad Murray: Ordered to Stand Trial for Michael Jackson Manslaughter

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues,

His legal defense seemed a little shaky from the word go.

Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who cared for pop star Michael Jackson during the singer’s final days, has been ordered to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. Murray claimed that Jackson injected himself with a lethal dose of Propofol, but the judge has ruled that Murray's case will continue.

Meanwhile, Murray has been stripped of his medical license. Members of the Jackson family (Katherine, Janet, La Toya, Jackie, Jermaine and Marlon) were present during last week’s hearing, which ended in the current ruling. “I’m happy so far,” said La Toya of the events.

Testimony in the hearing took six days, where more than 20 witnesses were heard for the prosecution. No witnesses were called for the defense during the hearing.

Lindsay Lohan’s Legal Troubles Piling Up

Lindsay Lohan dressed conservatively for her court appearance on Tuesday, but even the toned-down look didn’t disguise her from the process server who cornered her in the elevator.

While on her way to discover whether or not she’ll be going to jail for probation violations, Lohan was served with another lawsuit.

According to sources, Lohan directed her staffers to dispose of the process server, but he managed to drop his documents near her low-heeled black pumps before he was escorted off the elevator. California state law says that face-to-face contact must be made when someone is served - even if that someone used to be a huge movie star.

The documents don’t have to be put in Lindsay’s hands to be legally delivered. So, it looks like Linds is getting sued again…and her legal team is already pretty busy.
