Michael Jackson's family members are far from pleased with the involuntary manslaughter charge the King of Pop's former doctor pleaded not guilty to in Los Angeles on Monday Feb 08, ‘10.

 

Dr Conrad Murray walked free from court after posting $75,000 bail, shortly after Jackson's parents, brothers Tito and Jermaine and sister LaToya left the building near Los   Angeles International  Airport.

 

And speaking to the media, Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson's lawyer Brian Oxman revealed many members of the clan were unhappy and disappointed that the physician was charged only with involuntary manslaughter.

 

Oxman tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, "There was danger to human life. I knew it; everyone else who knew about the prescription medication knew it. To say the perpetrator didn't know it I find to be unacceptable. They (family members) thought the charges should be more serious than involuntary manslaughter. There was disregard for the safety of human life. This charge is a slap on the wrist. There's great disappointment here. He should've been charged with a higher degree of responsibility. What he did was reckless".

 

Murray, who has denied any wrongdoing, surrendered to face allegations of administering a lethal dose of the hospital anaesthetic propofol to the late singer.

 

The members of Jackson's family who were in court filed out through a throng of reporters and paparazzi and said nothing to the media.

 

They greeted fans from two black Suvs and then drove off.
