Los Angeles (CNN) -- Dr. Conrad Murray, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, will be sentenced Tuesday.
Jackson's mother, Katherine, hopes Murray gets the harshest sentence possible: four years in a state prison.
"I don't believe that he intended for Michael to die," Katherine Jackson said Monday. "He was just taking a chance."
At the sentencing Tuesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor has a choice ranging between probation and up to four years in a state prison. But measures to relieve California prison and jail crowding could significantly shorten his time locked up.
