Conrad Murray could be ordered to pay $100m in Damages to Michael Jackson's Children after Conviction





He's been sentenced to four years in a state prison.

Now Michael Jackson's physician Dr Conrad Murray could really be paying the price following his conviction for involuntary manslaughter.
 
Prosecutors in the 58-year-old doctor's manslaughter case are requesting that he pay Jackson's children more than $100million in damages for their loss.

New court documents filed by the District Attorney say that the king of pop's children are 'entitled to wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim'.

TMZ.com reports that Prince Michael, 14, Paris, 13, and Blanket (aka Prince Michael II) are considered to be victims by law.
Prosecutors say that Jackson's heirs are entitled to restitution from Murray, which includes wages, lost profits and funeral expenses.

The D.A. is citing lettering from the Jackson estate as evidence, which estimates that the musician would have made $100 million from his This Is It tour alone.

The maximum punishment of four years in a state prison is also being sought for Jackson's doctor.
The D.A. says that they are seeking the full sentence because Murray was 'risking Mr Jackson's life every night' with his daily use of Propofol.

It is also being said that the superstar was a 'particularly vulnerable victim' and that Murray lied and sought to hide his crime.
 
The website also reports that even if the doctor receives his full sentence, he won't spend a single day in prison because of a new California state law.

Instead, he will be sent to L.A. County Jail, where a four-year sentence would be automatically cut to a two-year term.
 
He would also be eligible for house arrest.
His fate will be determined this coming Tuesday.
