Dr. Conrad Murray, the late Michael Jackson’s personal physician, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, reports CNN.

The charge, which correlates to Murray giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol, comes more than seven months after the June 2009 death of the star and nearly six months since the coroner ruled his death a homicide.

Murray turned himself soon after the criminal complaint was filed on Tuesday and plead not guilty. He was released on a $75,000 bail. A conviction would mean a maximum four-year prison sentence.

The Jackson family, who were present at the brief hearing, were outraged at what they considered too light a charge for what they considered murder, according to PEOPLE.com.

Jackson’s sister LaToya issued a statement in which she seemed to have a conspiracy theory regarding Michael’s death. The statement said: “Michael was murdered and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan. There are other individuals involved and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served.”

Many Twitterers were as enraged as the Jackson family about the charge but not everyone felt the same way:
