Gary Coleman pleads guilty

SALT LAKE CITY -- Former child television star Gary Coleman has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge related to a domestic violence incident last April in Utah.

In a deal with the prosecutor, Coleman entered the plea at a hearing Monday, his 42nd birthday, in Santaquin.

Court clerk Jane Swan said the original charge of domestic violence assault was dropped.

Judge Sharla Williams sentenced Coleman to 311/2 days in jail. The ''Diff'rent Strokes'' star will serve the time only if he fails to complete a domestic violence course and pay a $595 fine.

Jackson doctor finally charged

LOS ANGELES -- Michael Jackson's doctor was charged Monday with involuntary manslaughter, capping an exhaustive investigation into the pop star's stunning death last summer and setting up the prospect of another sensational celebrity courtroom drama.

Dr. Conrad Murray, a cardiologist who was with Jackson when he died June 25 at his rented Los Angeles mansion, is accused of acting ''unlawfully and without malice'' in bringing about Jackson's death, according to a complaint filed by prosecutors.
