英语文摘:Michael Jackson's doctor ordered to return for court hearing in two months

Murray, 57, a cardiologist who was licensed to operate in California, Nevada and Texas, pleaded not guilty over the charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the superstar's death from an overdose of propofol at a court hearing on Feb. 8. He was released on 75,000 U.S. dollars bail and was banned from administering any such heavy sedatives to patients. The charge carries a potential four-year prison term.

As several Jackson family members -- including his parents and his sister, Janet -- looked on from the court's second row and several Jackson fans looked on from the back row, the judge announced his decision during the brief hearing. Edward Chernoff, one of Murray's attorneys, welcomed the delay while Deputy Attorney General Trina Saunders told the judge that he felt the issue should not be put on hold until June.
