Sheriffs: Murray a "Model Inmate"
Conrad Murray is being held in a "keep away" cell at a Los Angeles jail, according to the LA County Sheriff's Department.
Steve Whitmore of the LA County Sheriff's Department says that Murray is being kept in this "hospital-like" cell for the safety and security of jail inmates.
But Whitmore said that Murray is acting like a "model inmate" and "is doing very well."
He will remain in this cell at the LA Twin Towers Correctional Facility until the judge gives further instruction on where Murray should be imprissoned.
Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this week in the case of singer Michael Jackson's death. Murray was immediately taken into custody after the jury handed over their guilty verdict.
Judge Michael E. Pastor directed that he be placed behind bars while awaiting his Nov. 29 sentencing.
"This was a crime in which the end result was the death of a human being," Judge Pastor said Monday. "Public safety demands that he be remanded."
