Michael Jackson’s physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, pleaded not guilty this week to involuntary-manslaughter charges related to the singer’s death. Murray is accused of administering a lethal combination of sedatives, including the powerful anesthetic Propofol, to the pop star just before his death last June 25. Jackson’s family expressed outrage that Murray wasn’t charged with murder, and claimed he was part of “a much larger plan’’ to kill Jackson.
