Conrad Murray
was placed on “suicide watch” Monday after he found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But law enforcement sources tell TMZ this report is incorrect: “Murray has been deemed a ‘ keep away prisoner’ — which means officials must keep an eye on the doc at all times, as a matter of his own protection.” (LA Times; TMZ)

This wouldn’t be a high profile case without celebrity reactions on Twitter. “People are cheering but there really are no winners here. This has been an utter tragedy from beginning to end. #RIPMichaelJackson,” Nicki Minaj tweeted.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said, “Murray’s conviction is just a down payment for the family of Michael Jackson.” Read more reactions at the link, and find out what 50 cent thinks here. (EW; CBS)
