Judge Michael Pastor denied restitution to Michael Jackson's family in the criminal case against Dr. Conrad Murray on Wednesday, because the Jackson family didn't want to seek it, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Dr. Conrad Murray was convicted of the involuntary manslaughter death of Jackson on November 7. The King of Pop died on June 25, 2009 of acute propofol intoxication.

"The Jackson family told the DA they wanted the matter taken off calendar because they didn't want to pursue restitution in the criminal matter since both Katherine Jackson and Joe Jackson are seeking civil action against AEG (the concert promoter for Michael Jackson's This Is It tour), and Dr. Conrad Murray," a source close to the case tells RadarOnline.com.
