Michael Jackson’s doctor should not be freed pending an appeal of his involuntary manslaughter conviction because he is a flight risk and has shown no remorse for his part in the singer’s death, prosecutors argued in court papers on Tuesday.
The attorneys said Dr. Conrad Murray, who is serving four years in jail, should be denied his bid for freedom at a Los Angeles court hearing set for Friday.
Prosecutors David Walgren and Deborah Brazil said there was “complete uncertainty” over whether Murray would remain in California or flee if allowed out on bail.
“Based on his failure to accept responsibility for the decisions he made, his complete lack of remorse and lack of insight into the danger of his criminally negligent conduct, he remains a danger to the community,” they added.
