Conrad Murray, the US doctor convicted of assisting the death of King of Pop Michael Jackson, has been released from jail, according to reports this morning.
Murray was released earlier this morning, after serving half of his initial four-year sentence for supplying drug propofol to Jackson to assist his sleeping. Though widely used, Propofol is a harsh anaesthetic, with its effects generally having led to doctors requesting the drug itself to be banned due to limited benefits versus other drugs currently used.
Michael Jackson died in June 2009, following preparations for his 50-date sold-out UK This Is It tour. Tour promotor AEG were held accountable for the overall circumstances by Jackson’s family, however a lengthy court case ending earlier this month confirmed that the Jackson family had lost the case of negligence against the corporation.
