our los angeles correspondent has been to speak to michael's brother, jermaine jackson. >> the last jackson family photographs with michael. jermaine jackson told me his brother was full of life and excited about his comeback concerts. now, almost two and half years after the pop star's death, jermaine says the family takes little comfort from the conviction of conrad murray. >> to see murray handcuffed -- i think my mother's heart went out a bit for his mother. we have feelings. it was negligence, just like we said. it was corporate negligence, as well. we're still looking for answers. >> dr. murray has been said to be devastated by what happened, devastated by his conviction, devastated by the loss of michael. do you have any sympathy for him? >> i cannot say i do. he was looking at the money instead of the person. even during the rehearsals, they were looking at performance is to show us the human being, michael. had someone just said, call any one of us and said, "come down, your brothers not normal." he would alive today. >> michael will live on through his music. a legacy his family w

a few days later, jackson saw his brother jermaine who told "dateline" about that meeting. >> we saw him may 14th. he was fine. he was laughing with his kids and playing. >> but by june, as "this is it" director kenny ortega testified in court, jackson seemed to be falling apart. >> at some point in june 2009, were there a period of days or a week where michael was not showing up to rehearsals? >> yes. >> can you describe what you personally observed on that day, june 19, 2009? >> that my friend wasn't right, that he wasn't well. there was something going on that was deeply troubling me. >> that was just six days before the singer's death. ortega then sent concert promoters an e-mail saying he was concerned about jackson, writing, as far as i can tell, there is no one takeing responsibility caring for him on a daily basis. tonight i was feeding him, wrapping him in blankets to warm his chills, massaging his feed to calm him, and calling his doctor. we don't know if it was pressure from ortega to help jackson or murray's own idea, but dr. murray told the lapd it was at around that time

reportedly jermaine jackson is there. the jackson family members heading into this courthouse. can we go back to casey? casey, tell me who you've seen. >> reporter: well, you're seeing latoya jackson. just now i've seen michael yakson's parents, his brother jermaine. it's been hard to see anyone else through this crowd, but i know several members of the jackson family are here. one of the defense attorneys also already in the courtroom. must be a great relief for the jackson family for this verdict to finally have come down. as you may remember friday afternoon it was a rainy day here in southern california, they drove from their homes in the san der demand dough valley, got a hotel room near the courtroom so they could be close to the court when the verdict was read. obviously that didn't happen friday. they must be very relieved it's finally happened today, brooke. >> from what i understand, casey, 10:56 this morning your time in california when the jury hit the buzzer three times. is that correct? >> caller: that's cor

she was comforted by jermaine jackson and randy jackson. la toya jackson, michael jackson's sister, let out a shriek even though we were all warned no to make any type of reaction to the verdict. but on the other side of the courtroom, anderson, was conrad murray and his family and friends. conrad murray, when that verdict was read, anderson, he did not react at all. he sat there stone faced staring at the bench and the judge. what was interesting, the next thing the judge did was dismiss the jury and he sentenced conrad murray, told him to go straight to jail even though the defense said he's not a flight risk. but the judge said he's now a convicted felon. this was a homicide even though it was a lower class of a felony. it still was a homicide. he could be a danger to the public. he'll stay in jail until his sentencing november 29dth. but the most bizarre moment was when he was handcuffed. the court proceeding was not done yet and hes was handcuffed even while he's sitting in his chair. even the judge said, let's wait a minute. as he lef

jermaine jackson is michael's older brother. jermaine, the family, understandably, pretty innocenced by the revelation that conrad murray has been cooperating with this documentary for several years now, apparently. tell me how you all feel. >> we're very angry. we're angry because dr. murray is a liar and he had his chance in court, he was tried by 12 jurors and they found him guilty. so anything he says is really irrelevant. he had his chance to stand up. he is a coward. he's a liar. he didn't stand up in court. plus, this had to be for money, because that's -- he must have been paid big to do this. >> there are lots of different reports. apparently, officially, he got paid $1 to do this. but apparently the networks have been asked to put up as much as a million dollars for the footage. so clearly the truth hasn't quite emerged yet about who's paid what. >> see, stuff like this, this is why i wrote the book. i wrote the book because i want people to remember michael, the human being, and not all the negative things about his d

jermaine jackson has let it known how the family has been feeling, and how upset they were during the day of the photograph of his dead body, shown in the court room, lying on a stretcher in the hospital. he was lifeless. the family found that extremely upsetting. >> apart from what the doctor did or failed to do, what do we know about his background and what might happen to him, whichever way this verdict goes? >> he is a cardiologist. he had his men practice in texas. he also practiced in nevada, in las vegas, where michael jackson and his children first came into contact with him. the children went to the doctor and it was dr. murray, and he got to know michael jackson. he is well respected by his patients in texas. a number of those patients came to court to support him. they say he went far beyond what a regular doctor would do. he would spend as much time as he could with his patience. a lot of those patients described how he became their friend, a very close friend. they could call him if they were concerned about their treatment. the credit dr. murray with saving their lives.

love it, or get your money back. >>> michael jackson's brother jermaine is lashing out at dr. hammer joins us from new york. tell us what jermaine is saying. >> jermaine spoke with piers morgan last night. the jackson family has all been pretty clear that while they're obviously happy dr. murray's convicted of killing michael jackson but they don't think he will face enough time behind bars. he'll face a maximum of four years in prison. there is a very good chance he won't even have to serve all of that time if he gets it. they're also furious about a documentary that's scheduled to be aired. jermaine says the best way to protest the documentary is ignore it. >> we're angry because dr. murray is a liar. had he his chance in court. he was tried by 12 jurors an they found him guilty so anything he says is really irrelevant. he had his chance to stand up. he's a coward. he's a liar. he didn't stand up in court. and plus this had to be for money because that's -- he must have been paid big to-do this. >> well, suzanne, reports are that murray denies receiving any money for the proj

. >> that's michael jackson's jermaine on conrad murray's sentence today. four years the maximum.ng me to help sort out if that sentence was fair and give us insight into the kind of sex crimes alleged at syracuse ynd penn state institutions is john walsh. the host of "america's most wanted." beginning his 25th season on friday on lifetime. john walsh, a lot of what's going on is within your program ator of expertise. the michael jackson case, was justice done? jermaine jackson angry there but it was the maximum sentence. >> i think justice was done, but i think everybody's avoiding the real question. why didn't conrad murray adhere to the hippocratic oath that he took when he became a doctor? and that was to do the thing that was in the best interests of his patient. i think he must have known if he was michael jackson best friend, as his attorneys say, that michael jackson was heavily addicted to all kinds of prescription drugs. and the best thing he probably wouldn't be in jail today, conrad murray, and michael jackson might be alive if he'd have said, michael, the best thing i

during the time that verdict was read, jermaine jackson, and la toya jackson, and his parents were inside the courtroom. now you're seeing what happened outside the courthouse. fans of michael jackson were chanting guilty, guilty over and over. murray faces up to four years in prison. he will also lose his medical license and he is no longer a free man. >> dr. murray's wreckless conduct in this case poses a risk to the safety of the public. if dr. murray remains out of custody on bond, and even though dr. murray is a medical doctor and even though he has been practicing public safety demands that he be remanded. based upon my evaluation of all of these factors, i conclude that remand is appropriate. dr. murray is remanded to the sheriff with no bail. >> there you can see as soon as the judge made that announcement, you can see conrad murray being, you know, assisted to stand up and put in handcuffs and later he will be led out of that courtroom. you heard the judge say that he is going to be held without bail until he is sentenced later this month. that will be taking place on november 29

david walgren, the lead prosecutor in the case gave a hug to jermaine jackson and then to mrs. ckson. you could tell that they were very, very appreciative of their work, the district attorney's work in this case. >> the maximum sentence is four years, and there's also this whole issue of whether he can carry on practicing as a doctor. what are you anticipating will be the outcome here? >> well, his medical license in each of the states where he practices will have to be dealt with by those medical board. the court of law has no control over that. the california medical board has already indicated they'll suspend his license. he could try to petition for it back later, but that would be a whole other process. he's looking at four years max, but however it's likely he'll probably spend about two years and that two years maybe in a county jail because of funding issueses in the state of california. >> ted rowlands you've done a fantastic job on this trial from start to finish. thank you again for your reporting. >>> joining me now, a member of dr. murray's defense team, nareg gour

jermaine jackson had his head bowed and was nodding silently to himself. but i do want to point out that as dr. conrad murray entered the courtroom before he was sentenced, his girl frenltd, nicole alvarez, blew him a loud kiss and then he blew a kiss back to all of his supporters, brooke. >> okay. casey wian in california. >>> next with reporter roulette, let's go to jim clancy just above the banks in egypt. i understand over the course of the next hour you have witnessed this spasm of violence in cairo. if you can, tell me a little bit about that and the context of what appears to be thus far a largely peaceful election process. >> reporter: yeah. context, brooke. exactly that. these elections have gone so peacefully and make everyone here in egypt proud. we saw the reverse of that in tahrir square where the credibility of the protesters have been undercut by the success of the elections. now, they say they are happy but, boy, you take a look at the streets, video that was shot earlier, somebody among the protesters decided to get rid of all of the stree

anyway, tonight we have an explosive interview with jermaine jackson, who, like most of the jackson familyis very, very unhappy about conrad murray going public in his documentary and speaking, of course, in a way he never did during the trial. he said he's sickened by what is happening. >>> also a member of the white house inner circle. the president's frustrations and his chances for re-election. one of his top people. >>> and a candid and motion nal chat with "saturday night live" alumnus darrell hammond, known as a funny man but a dark past that will shock everyone. a busy show tonight, anderson. back to you. >> piers, thanks so much. do look forward and do look forward to seeing "tower heist." i want to see it. >> good film. >> nancy grace gets the boot from "dancing with the stars." [ male announcer ] every day, thousands of people are choosing advil®. here's one story. [ regis ] we love to play tennis. as a matter of fact it was joy who taught me how to play tennis. and with it comes some aches and pains and one way to relieve them all is to go right to the advil®. i have become inc

i asked jermaine jackson if he was satisfied with the verdict? >> not really. did. because he just -- >> reporter: appeared to suggest conrad murray is only a small part of this. he pointed to the sign which said aeg needs to be investigated. ♪ >> reporter: fans outside say the maximum sentence sends a strong message about conrad murray. >> michael jackson was killed. he was murdered. i believe this man did it on purpose. i am telling you i am glad he is going to jail. he is going to have to pay for what he did. >> he should have got life. he murdered michael. it was no accident. he was, i think he was a hit -- i think he was a hitman. i think somebody put him up to do it. >> i met michael jackson, one of the sweetest individuals on this planet. michael -- my dad -- a dad died at an early age. his children have to live, be left, at this early age like that. i mean an evil thing on any -- any account. >> reporter: due to jail overcrowding, convicts like murray have to serve half their sentence in jail, the other half on probation. fans are not happy about that.

jermaine jackson, latoya, randy jackson is also here.see joe jackson go through the front door or janet jackson or the children. that does not mean they're not knot courtroom. they could have gone up there the back door. conrad murray's family went through another door at the courthouse. once the prosecution is done the defense will have chance for their statements. conrad murray ace attorney told one of our producers inside as of right now they are not planning murray saying anything. doesn't mean he couldn't change his mind and say something, as of beginning of court his attorney told our producer that conrad murray was not planning on making a statement at today's hearing. once all the statements are done, judge pastor will lay down the sentence. it could be as much as four years behind ba in county jail, not prison but county jail. a lot of court observers believe it will be less than that since he has no prior convictions. on the day he walks into the countjail, theoretically today it will automatically be cut in half. he gets time

. >> reporter: jackson's mother and several of his siblings, including latoya and jermaine, attended the sentencing. jackson's children did not. >> you can't bring michael back! he's gone! >> we'll never be satisfied, because michael's not coming back. >> reporter: in court, the jackson family asked for the maximum sentence. an attorney read a statement on their behalf. >> we are not here to seek revenge. there is nothing you can do today that will bring michael back. >> reporter: prosecutors blamed murray for giving the surgical anesthetic propofol to jackson and failing to monitor him. murray's defense wanted probation, arguing murray should be judged for his entire life, not just the two months he treated jackson. >> on probation, he can do things for the community. on probation, he could never do those things sitting in that little room. >> reporter: legal experts say murray will likely be released early because of prison overcrowding. before leaving court, the doctor blew a kiss to someone. recent changes in california law, murray will have to go to county jail instead of state p

. >>> tonight, there is a very special edition of "dateline," the last days of michael jackson. jermaine was asked if dr. murray said anything to him at the hospital the day the king of pop died. >> he didn't say anything to me. >> after he died, dr. murray is quoted as saying, i feel like i lost my best friend. >> really? the only time i saw dr. murray was in the hospital when i got the news michael passed. i didn't know who he was but i noticed his behavior. if you lost your best friend, you would have acted different. >> what did he act? >> fidgeting and looking around. i said something is wrong. >> don't miss it tonight at 10:00. >>> an exploding package and white powder caused quite a scare. it turned out to be nothing more than an electrical problem. employees heard a popping sound and thought a package in a storage locker exploded. the building was evacuated. emergency officials soon determined the noise was caused by a fluorescent light fixture that malfunctioned and the box contained cookies. the white powder was probably smoke from a broken light. >>> we have breaking news now.

. >> jackson's mother and several of his siblings, including la toya and jermaine attended the sentencingjackson's children did not. >> we'll never be satisfied because michael is not coming back. >> the jackson family asked for the maximum sentence. an attorney read a statement on their behalf. >> we are not here to seek revenge. there's nothing you can do today that will bring michael back. >> prosecutors blamed murray for giving propofol to jackson and failing to monitor him. murray job judged for his entire life, not just the two months he treated jackson. >> on probation, he can do things for the community. on probation that he could never do sitting in that little room. >> sheriff officials say because of over crowding, murray will likely serve a little less than two years behind bars. before leaving court, the doctor blew someone a kiss. and because of recent changes in california law, murray was actually sent to a county jail instead of a state prison and because of over crowding there, likely only have to serve half his sentence if that, derek, assuming he is on good behavior. >>

>> we just saw katherine jackson arrive here at the courthouse. also siblings jermainendy and la toya. they've all been a mainstay, as ran randi mentioned, throughout the trial. we're going to see it start momentarily. the prosecution and the jackson family, of course, want the maximum. they want four years in prison for dr. conrad murray and they want hefty fines which could amount to $4 million. the defense is arguing he should just get probation and stay out of jail. obviously, it's going to be tough to keep him in prison. there you're seeing the judge on the bench right now. court has started. the proceedings are about to begin. they are likely going to read some victim statements. we understand the jackson family statement will be read by a family lawyer, and we understand that also the mother of conrad murray -- actually, both mothers made a petition to the judge. one, of course, pleading for mercy, the other, of course, pleading for the max. suzanne? >> and we understand the judge is dealing with that heigright whether or not they're going to be able to broadcast
