Michael Jackson's personal physician pleads not guilty

Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr Conrad Murray pleaded not guilty yesterday at a standing-room-only arraignment attended by Jackson's parents and several siblings.

A Los Angeles judge set bail at $75,000, despite arguments from the prosecutor that Murray is a flight risk and needs a higher bail.

Murray remained silent throughout the hearing, being taken into custody and escorted from the courtroom at the end of the hearing. He later posted bail and was released.
