Nov. 7, 2011: Dr. Conrad Murray listens as the jury returns with a guilty verdict in his involuntary manslaughter trial in a Los Angeles courtroom .AP
Conrad Murray, the former doctor convicted of causing Michael Jackson's death, has been released from prison.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed to Fox News that Murray was released from a downtown Los Angeles jail at 12:01 a.m. local time Monday.
The former cardiologist served less than two years of a four-year sentence after being convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter for Jackson's June 2009 death. The pop superstar died after receiving a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol, which Murray was giving Jackson as a sleep aid.
Murray's medical licenses remain suspended or revoked in three states where he previously practiced medicine.
A change in California law allowed Murray's incarceration time to be significantly cut down.
