Prosecutors in the Conrad Murray manslaughter case are asking Judge Michael Pastor to order the doc to pay Michael Jackson's children more than $100 million for their loss.
According to new court docs filed by the D.A., Michael Jackson's kids are "entitled to wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim."
Prosecutors say MJ's 3 kids are victims under the law, and are entitled to restitution from Dr. Murray ... which include wages, lost profits and funeral expense. The D.A. cites a letter from the MJ Estate, estimating Michael would have made $100 million in revenue from the "This Is It" tour.
As we first reported, the D.A. is also seeking the maximum punishment -- 4 years in State Prison. The D.A. says they are seeking the max because Murray was "risking Mr. Jackson's life every night by administering Propofol." And the D.A. says, MJ was a "particularly vulnerable victim." And the D.A. says, Murray lied and covered-up his crime.

Hmmm... interesting if true. Except, the title says $100, not $100M. Should correct that.
Great move DA! Though it's highly unlikely that Murray has $1 Million to spare per kid, let alone $100 Million. What this might guarantee is Murray being broke for life, because I'm sure he will be asked to pay some amount to Michael's children.

Yes, I have seen it now. I just saw TMZ and well, you know how they are, but now more reputable sources are reporting the same, and the documents speak for themselves. I hope this guarantees Murray will be broke for life. It's only fair that the kids get some sort of restitution...the loss they have suffered is truly too great for words.
I think its more the principle and I doubt the judge will award that amount - but anything is possible
The children are set for life - BUT my question is if MJ estate paid all these bills will the monies do directly
into the childrens trust fund or paid to the children directly which will be managaed by the Jackson family.
"he D.A. cites a letter from the MJ Estate, estimating Michael would have made $100 million in revenue from the "This Is It" tour. " Plus 1,821,871,65. It seems there's someone trying to milk in more money from MJ death. Too bad Murray does not have that money. Not even 1 million, not to mention 100m. Fortunately the children do not need a penny. With all the profits coming from the sale of MJ related products, including This is It DVD, his back catalog, they are financially well for the rest of their lives.

I really hope that the judge awards restitution to the children. A maximum of 4 years will never be enough for what Murray did, I doubt if Murray could ever pay anywhere close to $102 million but restitution could ensure that he never profits from his crime.
^Yes, but like Qbee said, it's the abstract concept of justice that we are really looking at.
Go mr walgren!
I love the way Walgren is fighting for MJ.. He even mentioned he wanted the max because Murray risked MJ's life every single night by administering that stuff.. Murray was playing russian roulette with a very vulnerable man.
Great move. This would be a great punishment for Murray.
This is an attempt to make sure Murray does not make a cent from what he did. It may not be 100 million dollars but whatever it is I can assure you he won't be able to pay
