Conrad Murray jury to consider verdict

doctor denies manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson in Los Angeles in 2009

A jury in Los Angeles will begin deliberations in the case of Michael Jackson's doctor on Friday after a six-week murder trial in the death of the pop star in 2009.

Finally, arguments prosecutors said Jackson "paid with his life" for the criminal negligence of Dr Conrad Murray. Defense lawyers said Murray was to be responsible for his own actions Jackson.

"For a crime must be proved, the prosecution must show that Dr Murray actually killed Michael Jackson," said defense attorney Ed Chernoff jury Thursday.

"They want to convict Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson," Chernoff said. "If it was none other than Michael Jackson, that the doctor be here today?"

Chernoff asked the jury to remember that the victim was a pop star. "If you're going to hold Dr. Murray responsible, do not do it because it's Michael Jackson. This is not a reality show. This is the reality."

Jackson was found dead at his home in Los Angeles June 25, 2009. It was then decided to have died from an overdose of propofol, which is normally used in surgery, and sedatives.

The defense argued that the singer was dependent on propofol. Desperate to sleep, probably gave a lethal dose of the powerful anesthetic, as well as swallowing a handful of sedatives, without the knowledge of Murray, defense lawyers argued.

Attorney David Walgren

refuted this theory in his argument, describing the situation presented in the trial by a key expert "junk science" defense.

Walgren said Murray abandoned Jackson on the morning of his death, delayed calling 911 and deceived medical personnel on the use of propofol in a bedroom. Murray violated the trust between doctor and patient, "and for that Michael Jackson paid with his life," Walgren said.

"The evidence in this case is very clear - that Conrad Murray acted with criminal negligence, that Conrad Murray caused the death of Michael Jackson, Conrad Murray let Prince, Paris and Blanket without a father, "the prosecutor said, referring to the singer's three children.
