Doctor in Michael Jackson case jailed 4 years, but may escape full term due to overcrowding

Michael Jackson's personal physician, Conrad Murray, was sentenced yesterday to four years in jail and denied probation for his conviction on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the pop star's death.

Murray, 58, dressed in a gray suit and purple paisley tie, sat emotionless through the sentencing. Just before being led out from the courtroom, he blew a kiss to an unidentified woman who shouted "we love you" to the convicted killer.

Yet, even though he was sentenced to four years in jail, Murray may spend only months behind bars due to extreme overcrowding in Los Angeles County where he will serve time.

He has 60 days to appeal the sentence.
