Joe Jackson Tells Larry King Charges Against Dr Conrad Murray "Not Enough". Family Believes Conspiracy At Work In Michael's Death [Video Inside]
Video After The Jump
Joe Jackson appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Monday night, just hours after sitting in a courtroom to hear Murray plead not guilty to a single charge of involuntary manslaughter in his son's death last summer.
A Los Angeles judge set bail at $75,000, despite arguments from the prosecutor that Murray is a flight risk and needs a higher bail. Murray posted the bond and was released several hours later.
Michael Jackson's family, including his parents, four of his brothers and one sister, filled the first two rows of the small courtroom.
"I was looking for justice, and justice, to me, would be a murder charge," Joe Jackson told King.
Prosecutors charged Murray, who was Jackson's personal physician, with causing the pop star's death "without malice" by acting "without due caution and circumspection."
Murray was with the pop star when he died on June 25, 2009.
The Los Angeles County coroner ruled Jackson's death a homicide, resulting from a combination of drugs, primarily propofol -- a powerful anesthesia -- and lorazepam.
Joe Jackson suggested it was more than a doctor making a fatal judgment.
"To me, he's just a fall guy" Jackson said. "There's other people, I think, involved with this whole thing. But I think that he's interrogated -- he would come clean and tell everything he knows."
He said Michael Jackson told his mother, as he was preparing for his comeback concerts in London, England last year, that he thought he would be killed.
"He was afraid to even do all of these shows, because he was afraid that he wouldn't get a chance to finish all of the show," Joe Jackson said. "He couldn't do all those shows back-to-back. Even his kids say that he had told them that he would be murdered."
Murray turned himself in shortly before 4 p.m. at a branch courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport. He pleaded not guilty during a brief hearing before Judge Keith L. Schwartz.
The judge refused to suspend Murray's medical license as a term of his bond, but he did order him not to use any anesthesia on patients.
"I don't want you sedating people," Schwartz told Murray.
The involuntary manslaughter charge means that Murray caused Jackson's death by acting "without due caution and circumspection."
If convicted, Murray would face a maximum four-year prison sentence, according to prosecutors.
Jackson family members later reacted to what they saw in the courtroom:
"Not enough," Jermaine Jackson said when asked what he thought of the charge.
"I don't like what happened," Joe Jackson said as he left the courthouse.
La Toya Jackson later issued a statement through a publicist.
"Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan," her statement said. "There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served."
Her statement did not elaborate on what she meant in her reference to "a much larger plan."

Too many people get away with EVIL. as individuals we have no more the 100 years on this earth, and so i believe we are naive. beacuse the people in power seem to have an AGENDA. MJ is a small example of how hopeless our situation really is. All hat money, influence, talent all that support and the story is not clear??? This is F****** MJ how is it we dont know who are the culprits????

Atleast Joe Jackson knows this was the fall guy.
we live in a sick society, so sick that even Joe Jackson himself might be involved. or worse other members of the Jackson family.

La Toya is a bubble head flake and Joe Jackson is a washed out has been.
Jermaine is a muslim self rightcheous d*****!
As for the rest of the family well i don't care but Jan needs to step her game up and be the leader here in the public eye. MJ was not murdered, he OD'd because he was a drug addict. I know these are harsh words and i am one of his biggest fans. MJ's body just gave out with all the stress and paranoia. He died like many have in the past. People will not accept this as they believe he was a profit as i believe he was just about the same.
All i have to say is that Doctor is f***** but he did not murder MJ but he was invloved in his death and being that he is a Doctor he swore an oath and yes he should do time for his negligence.
R.I.P. M.J. We love you!

I don't think he was murdered-but if he was they know something we don't since they keep saying that they think he was murdered, they should just hurry up and say it.

We see this type of poverty on our tv's on advertisements but most people don't actually see it in person so it doesn't impact as hard. I think its great to see someone like Fif with the resources to make a change and shed light on it…
