Mystery solved: Murray walks into courthouse

conrad_murray_court010810.jpgWe all knew that Dr. Conrad Murray would be charged today in Michael Jackson's death. The suspense was whether he would be arrested first by the LAPD or allowed to surrender. Well, he came in under his own power and was only taken into custody after being arraigned and pleading not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Bail was set at $75,000, much higher than usual for the charge, but less than the $300,000 sought by prosecutors. Members of Jackson's family were in court to observe. LAT, AP at CBS 2

Raw materials: The Smoking Gun posted excerpts of the Jackson autopsy report, also released today.
