Michael Jackson's mother displeased with Conrad Murray sentence

Conrad Murray, the doctor convicted of killing Michael Jackson, has been sentenced to four years behind bars. And on Tuesday, Michael Jackson's mother said four years wasn't enough.

"Four years won't bring my son back," Mrs. Jackson said.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor described cardiologist Conrad Murray as "reckless" and a liar, someone who is a "danger to the community" with "no sense of remorse and no sense of fault" for Jackson's death, USA Today reported late Tuesday.

"Experimental medicine is not going to be tolerated, and Mr. Jackson was an experiment," Pastor said. "The fact that (Jackson) participated in it does not excuse or lessen the pain for Dr. Murray, who simply could have walked away or said no as countless others did."

Murray was called "a disgrace to the medical profession … an honorable profession which bears the scourge of what happened here," by Judge Pastor who said Murray would be required to make restitution payments to the estate of Michael Jackson and his extended family.
