At his arraignment earlier yesterday (25.01.11), Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, plead not guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter, for his role in the 2009 death of the King of Pop. "Your honor, I am an innocent man," the disgraced cardiologist told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor. "Therefore, I plead not guilty."After the hearing, Pastor set a March 28 date for the start of Murray's trial, which is expected to take two months, according to Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff. "Dr. Murray is looking forward to telling his side of the story," Chernoff said at a press conference after the arraignment. "Dr. Murray's been waiting 22 months for the opportunity to do this, and this is the first chance we have to force the issue."
