After serving less than two years out of his four-year involuntary manslaughter sentence for Michael Jackson‘s death four years ago, Dr. Conrad Murray is set to be released from prison in no time at all. The convicted cardiologist is set to become a free man on October 28 after being sent to jail back in November 2011.

The news has enraged Jackson’s mother Katherine, who believes Murray should have been tried for murder which carries a stiffer penalty as compared to that for involuntary manslaughter. “It is not right I will never be able to see my son again, while his mother can see him,” the devastated matriarch said.

A source who says Murray should have at least served the complete sentence for his crime calls the early release “an insult.” Murray’s sentence was apparently shortened by his good behavior, as prison authorities have described him as a “model inmate,” with some additional help from an overcrowded California jail system.

The Jackson family is also furious at Murray for refusing to give evidence in the current wrongful death trial against concert promoter AEG Live, feeling he has key evidence to prove AEG acted negligently resulting in the King of Pop’s untimely death. Murray supposedly wants nothing to do with the lawsuit for fear of being incriminated and has even gone on to threaten that he will reveal secret information about the singer and his family if he was forced to testify.

Michael Jackson went for 60 days without sleep, making him the only person ever to have done so, a sleep expert has claimed.

Charles Czeisler, a Harvard Medical School sleep expert, said he has never heard of any person who has gone 60 days with Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep as he testified at the wrongful death trial of concert promoter AEG LIve.

As reported by CNN, the jury was told by Dr Czeisler that the 60 nights of propofol infusions which Dr Murray said he gave Jackson to treat insomnia has never before been undertaken.

Dr Czeisler, a sleep consultant to NASA and the CIA, told the jury that the drug does not offer REM sleep and disrupts the normal sleep cycle.

But it leaves those who take it refreshed and feeling as though they have had a proper night’s sleep.

The jury was told that rats tested by scientists died after five weeks of no REM sleep.

People who are deprived of REM sleep for long periods become depressed, paranoid and anxious. They also lose their balance and appetite, and can have slower physical and emotional reactions.

These are symptoms which Jackson was said to be suffering from in his final weeks. His show’s producers reported that he became thinner, paranoid and forgetful, and was heard talking to himself.

Disgraced doctor Conrad Murray – who is currently in jail for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson – has reached out to troubled teen Paris Jackson to offer his compassion and support.

His audio message to Paris – which he recorded behind bars – comes following the 15-year-old allegedly tried to end her own life on Wednesday by taking a large number of painkillers and slashed her writs with a knife.

He has apparently attempted to contact Paris while she recovers in hospital under a psychiatric order.

According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: ‘Paris, this is a letter to you. I don’t know what you are going through but I am sure whatever it is must be difficult.

‘I can tell you are not doing well and I don’t know if there is anything I can do to solve your pain or help you with your problem.

‘But I wanted you to know that I am here for you. I’ve never been gone. I always will be available to listen to you, answer questions or share with you a plethora or beautiful untold stories of your father, as well as venerable thoughts of you that he shared with me.

‘Paris has been very, very depressed for a while. She’s been throwing fits and tantrums, kicking and screaming and cutting herself,’ a source told People magazine.

‘She misses her father greatly,’ the source adds. ‘She was the center of Michael’s world and it’s all different now. She says that she is lonely and that she doesn’t feel loved.’

Paris has also allegeldy been in arguments with her brother, Prince Michael, after she started growing close to her biological mother, Debbie Rowe, who she was denied to spend much time with when her father was alive.

The developing relationship has apparently created a rift within the Jackson family as Paris and her brother have differing opinions of spending time with their mother.
