"I was very happy that he's (Dr. Conrad Murray) going to stand for trial, and I was really surprised the judge suspended his license in California. I didn't think he was going to do that, but I'm very happy he did that."

10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Emily Battin, Michael Jackson fan:
"It's definitely....I see what Murray did as murder. It's very obvious with everyone's testimonies this week and the evidence all the medical experts were able to provide. He (Dr. Conrad Murray) didn't have the proper medical equipments or proper CPR knowledge, and here he can call himself a cardiologist. That just doesn't even make sense."

12. SOUNDBITE: (English) Liz Vandine, Michael Jackson fan:
"I just thought the evidence against him (Dr. Conrad Murray) is overwhelming, and it's surprising how a doctor could do all that stuff. He just can't get away with it, whether Michael Jackson was a drug addict or not. I'm not saying he is or not. It doesn't matter. The doctor is responsible for his patient and that's the ultimate responsibility of the doctor."

DOCTOR IN JACKSON TRIAL ORDERED TO STAND TRIAL FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
A judge on Tuesday (11JAN. 2011) ordered the personal physician of late singer Michael Jackson to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter after hearing testimony that he administered a dose of a powerful anaesthetic and other sedatives, then left the pop star alone.
The ruling in the case against Houston cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray came after a six-day preliminary hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor.
Prosecutors concluded their case with testimony from two doctors who said Murray acted outside the standard of medical care when he administered the anaesthetic propofol and failed to provide proper care.
Both witnesses said that even if Jackson had self-administered the final dose of the drug, his death would be a homicide because of Murray's actions.
Murray's defence attorney Ed Chernoff and prosecutors declined comment on the ruling.
Murray, 57, has pleaded not guilty. His attorneys have said he did not give Jackson anything that should have killed him.
Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor also granted a request by the California Medical Board to suspend Murray's license to practice medicine in the state.
Pastor said he made the decision in the interest of public safety and ordered Murray to notify every district in which he practices of the decision within 24 hours. Murray has clinics in Houston and Las Vegas.
Leaving court, Jackson family members said they welcomed the decision.
"I'm happy so far," Jackson's sister, LaToya, said while walking to her car. Randy Jackson thanked prosecutors while flashing a peace sign outside court.
Fans of the late singer who had gathered to hear the ruling also said they were happy following the ruling.
"I just thought the evidence against him (Dr. Conrad Murray) is overwhelming, and it's surprising how a doctor could do all that stuff. He just can't get away with it," one fan said.
Murray could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
