Prosecutors: Murray Should Pay Jackson Children $100M

(NewsCore) - The Los Angeles District Attorneys have asked that Conrad Murray pay more than $100 million to Michael Jackson's children and serve the maximum four years jail as part of his sentence for being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of the iconic pop star, TMZ reported.

Court documents filed by prosecutors Wednesday say that Jackson's kids -- Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket -- are "entitled to wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim," the entertainment website reported, adding that prosecutors estimated Jackson would have made $100 million in revenue from his "This is It" tour.

"The defendant has displayed a complete lack of remorse for causing Michael Jackson's death," according to the court papers filed by Deputy District Attorneys David Walgren and Deborah Brazil, myFOXla.com reported.

"... Due to the actions and decisions of the defendant alone, justice requires the defendant be sentenced to state prison for four years, be ordered to pay appropriate restitution to Michael Jackson's children and be ordered to pay all requisite fines under the law," the prosecutors argue in the court papers.

Murray, 58, was convicted Nov. 7 over Jackson's death, from an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol, on June 25, 2009. He is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor.

Attorneys for Murray, however, contend in court papers that the doctor's "background and character" warrant a sentence of probation, not prison time.

"Many of his patients are elderly, and many reside in low-income, underserved communities," according to the court papers filed by defense attorneys Edward Chernoff, J. Michael Flanagan and Nareg Gourjian.

"Dr. Murray has a long history of treating everyone who came to his clinic, whether or not they had insurance coverage or the funds to pay him."

During his trial, Murray admitted to having given Jackson a small amount of propofol to help him sleep, but not the massive amount of the drug found in his body on the day he died.
