Dr. Conrad Murray has been found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of pop legend Michael Jackson. Today at 1 p.m. (4 p.m. ET), the jury announced the guilty verdict, on a trial that has fascinated the public since its start on September 27. When the verdict was read, the crowd outside erupted into cheers. Murray was stone-faced and silent as he listened to the verdict being read. On November 3, the prosecution and the defense gave their closing arguments, and left the fate of Dr. Murray up to a jury of seven men and five women. Jackson died after suffering cardiac arrest in his home on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, as a result of a lethal dose of the drug propofol, which Dr. Murray negligently administered to treat Jackson?s insomnia. Over 23 days, 49 witnesses gave testimony in the trial, many of whom were doctors and persons close to Murray. Upon this verdict, Murray may be stripped of his medical license and face four years in prison. The verdict will hopefully bring peace to Michael?s family, who was present at court every day, and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket.
