The former doctor is telling the mother of his child that he may be able to serve out his prison sentence from his home as early as December, reported Radar online.
"Dr Murray has told his girlfriend/baby mama Nicole Alvarez that he could be out of jail by Christmas. Murray was sent to jail almost a year ago and was sentenced to four years in state prison.
"However, because of jail overcrowding, Murray has been serving his sentence at the county jail in Los Angeles and is expected to serve two years of the four year sentence," a source said.
Meanwhile, Murray is passing time in jail by writing a tell-all book and he hopes a publisher will pay him a substantial amount of money for it.
