LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death is out on $75,000 bail after pleading not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

The lawyer for Dr. Conrad Murray says his client -- who entered his plea in Los Angeles -- plans to return to his medical practices in Houston and Las Vegas while awaiting trial. Under terms of his bail, he can travel around the country but had to turn in his passport. California state officials say they plan to ask the court to suspend his medical license while he's on bail.

Michael Jackson's parents and five siblings were in court as the criminal complaint against Murray was read. If convicted, he could get up to four years in prison. As he entered the courthouse, several people shouted "murderer."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Jackson's doctor has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of the pop star.

Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston cardiologist who was with Jackson when he died June 25, entered his plea Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court just hours after he was charged.

He could face up to four years in prison if convicted.

Murray appeared in court in a gray suit as Jackson's father Joe, mother Katherine, and siblings LaToya, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Randy sat behind prosecutors.

Jackson hired Murray to be his personal physician as he prepared for a strenuous series of comeback performances.

Officials say the singer died in Los Angeles after Murray administered the powerful general anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives to get the chronic insomniac to sleep.
