Crime | Conrad Murray Jackson Doctor Freed After 2 Years Conrad Murray wants his medical license back By Rob Quinn Posted Oct 28, 2013 3:32 AM CDT Copied Dr. Conrad Murray listens in court during his involuntary manslaughter trial, Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011, in downtown Los Angeles.

Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years in 2011 but only served two because of California prison rules that give him a day of credit for every day served, CNN reports. To the anger of Jackson family members and friends who believe he should have been prosecuted for murder, Murray plans to get his medical license reinstated. Murray still hopes he will be vindicated, his lawyer tells ABC. "He's very hopeful. He's going to practice medicine somewhere is my understanding," she says. "He's prepared to go to federal court to fight." Murray, who prosecutors said used a powerful surgical anesthetic in a "reckless, obscene manner" to put Jackson to sleep every night, has remained without remorse. "My entire approach may not have been an orthodox approach, but my intentions were good," he said last year. Read These Next Taylor and Travis are getting married.
