Jackson doctor jailed

Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray was jailed for the maximum four years on Tuesday over the star's 2009 death, as a judge lashed the medic's behavior as "money-for-medicine madness."

While he is expected to actually serve less than half of that, Murray could also be forced to pay compensation to Jackson's family, the judge ruled after a prosecution call for the amount to be set at $100 million.

Jackson's 81-year-old mother Katherine hailed the sentencing, but added: "Four years is not enough for someone's life."

In reality the medic -- convicted of involuntary manslaughter three weeks ago -- will spent much less than the four years behind bars, notably due to California's prison overcrowding.

A spokesman for the LA County Sheriff's Department, Steve Whitmore, said Murray is expected to be left with "a little less than two years" in county jail.
