Dr. Conrad Murray may face $100m payout to Jackson's kids

24th November 2011

Dr. Conrad Murray may be asked to pay $100 million to Michael Jackson's children for their loss, it is reported.

The 58-year-old former physician was found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of the King of Pop earlier this month.

The singer died two years ago from acute Propofol intoxication at the hands of the doctor.

Murray will be back in court on November 29 for his sentencing hearing where he will find out his fate.

But according to new documents filed by the District Attorney and obtained by TMZ, it states that Prosecutors want the huge payout because Jackson's children are "entitled to wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim."

Jackson's three kids; Prince, Paris and Blanket are considered victims under the law and are entitled to restitution from Murray.

The D.A. references a letter from MJ Estates that estimates the Thriller star would have made $100 million in revenue from the This Is It tour.

The defence team are also pushing for the maximum sentence of four years behind bars for Murray.

The D.A. says they are seeking the strongest punishment possible under Murray's conviction because he was "risking Mr. Jackson's life every night" by giving him the powerful anesthetic in his futile efforts to treat the star's insomnia.

The legal office also claims that Jackson was a "particularly vulnerable victim" and Murray lied to mask his crime.
