Los Angeles Superior Court judge Michael Pastor has turned down Dr. Conrad Murray's request to be released until his involuntary manslaughter conviction appeal is heard.He said Murray must stay in jail pending his appeal because he might flee if allowed out on bail. Murray, 59, began serving a four-year jail term in November last year after being convicted by a jury of the involuntary manslaughter of the "Thriller" singer. Murray, who was not in court for Friday's hearing, had asked for bail , house arrest or electronic monitoring pending his appeal, which he said could take more than a year to be heard.
