Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray who has been with Jackson in his final hours is to be charged with manslaughter, according to the reports surfacing on Fox News. Meanwhile, Jackson's dermatologist Arnold Klein is to be charged on charges relating to medical malpractice. It is expected both Murray and Klein will be arrested within the next two weeks.
On the day of Michael Jackson's death, Murray stated he found Jackson in bed, not breathing but with a faint pulse, and administered CPR to no avail. It was later alleged Murray gave Jackson the painkiller Demerol that is believed to have killed the singer.
Just yesterday, a video featuring Murray was posted on YouTube, professing his innocence. Murray addressed his supporters, saying he hoped the truth would prevail.
The source initially said Dr. Conrad Murray could be arrested as soon as next Wednesday — but investigators have decided to execute one more search warrant, likely at a Los Angeles pharmacy, next week in an attempt to gather more evidence against him. The arrest is now expected the following week.
Murray isn’t the only doctor who faces criminal charges in connection with Jackson's death on June 25. A law enforcement source told FOXNews.com that Jackson’s longtime dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, will be hit with charges related to medical malpractice. Investigators are still building their case against Klein, and he will not be arrested for at least another two weeks, the source said.

Do they think Murray purposely tried to kill him? Or do they believe it was accidental? I wonder how many years he would get if it was purely accidental.
