" Jermaine Jackson has argued that Conrad Murray should have been charged with the second-degree murder of Michael Jackson. Murray was yesterday sentenced to the maximum four years in jail after being found guilty of the star&amp;#039;s involuntary manslaughter.  However, Jermaine has now declared that Murray&amp;#039;s prison time is &amp;quot;woefully insufficient&amp;quot; based on the former physician&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;breathtaking disregard of the human life&amp;quot;.   &amp;quot;True justice shouldn&amp;#039;t feel as empty and pointless as this,&amp;quot; The Sun quotes him as saying. &amp;quot;Justice is not having some clown of a doctor act so criminally negligent with Michael&amp;#039;s life that he ends up killing him... then receives such a pitiful sentence. &amp;quot;Dr Conrad Murray [should have been] charged with, and convicted of, second-degree murder and sent down for decades. A life incarcerated for the life lost because of his reckless choices, inept skills and breathtaking disregard of the human life in his solo care. &amp;quot;As someone who sat through the evidence at trial before Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, I know there was enough legal justification to charge this case as second-degree murder.&amp;quot;  Jermaine added that he &amp;quot;felt more like shrugging [his] shoulders than punching the air&amp;quot; after the verdict, due to LA district attorneys choosing the &amp;quot;safer option&amp;quot; of an involuntary manslaughter charge. The 56-year-old did say that he was happy Judge Michael Pastor had ruled out the defence&amp;#039;s claim that Michael administered the fatal overdose of propofol himself.  &amp;quot;That lie was sent to jail with the rest of Murray&amp;#039;s lies,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I just hope that for every long day that Murray does serve in jail, he is haunted by what he&amp;#039;s done in the same way we&amp;#039;ve been haunted by what he didn&amp;#039;t do - keep Michael healthy and alive. &amp;quot;Propofol is like a gun - safe in the right hands but in the wrong hands, it&amp;#039;s deadly. Michael placed his life in Murray&amp;#039;s wrong hands.&amp;quot; Jermaine further suggested that Michael had been denied a &amp;quot;new, exciting future&amp;quot; due to Murray&amp;#039;s failure to follow standard medical procedure.  &amp;quot;Had Murray monitored him, instead of wandering off to ring his girlfriends, he&amp;#039;d have seen that Michael had stopped breathing,&amp;quot; he argued. &amp;quot;Had he had the standard life-saving equipment and rang 911 and not stalled for 15 inexplicable minutes, there was always a real chance of life. Had he not kept hidden from paramedics the vital fact he&amp;#039;d administered propofol. Had he been a trained professional who knew what he was doing, Michael would still be alive today. I remain haunted by the endless list of &amp;#039;Had he done this...&amp;#039;&amp;quot;  Michael and Jermaine&amp;#039;s mother Katherine Jackson has said that Murray&amp;#039;s sentencing is &amp;quot;not enough for someone&amp;#039;s life&amp;quot;.
