The doctor is in…a HEAP of trouble.

After spending the past eight months since Michael Jackson's death building a case—and the past week playing will-they, won't-they with the public—Los Angeles prosecutors finally have enough evidence to lay the blame on Dr. Conrad Murray.

Not to mention, finally managed to keep a court date.

The district attorney formally filed a count of involuntary manslaughter against Murray today, blaming Jackson's person physician with overmedicating the star with the powerful anesthetic propfol. The charge carries a maximum of four years in prison.

The count alleged that Murray "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson...in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection."

Murray, who has publicly maintained that he neither prescribed nor administered any medications that should have killed Jackson, is expected to voluntarily surrender in court at his arraignment at the LAX Courthouse this afternoon.
