Michael Jackson's Doctor Arraigned, Makes Bail



LOS ANGELES - The doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death is out on $75,000 bail after pleading not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

The lawyer for Dr. Conrad Murray says his client -- who entered his plea in Los Angeles -- plans to return to his medical practices in Houston and Las Vegas while awaiting trial. Under terms of his bail, he can travel around the country but had to turn in his passport. California state officials say they plan to ask the court to suspend his medical license while he's on bail.

Michael Jackson's parents and five siblings were in court as the criminal complaint against Murray was read. If convicted, he could get up to four years in prison. As he entered the courthouse, several people shouted "murderer."
