The jury, which started deliberations on Friday, Nov. 4, announced it had a verdict on around 11AM PT on Monday, Nov. 7, and revealed its decision after 1PM PT from the courthouse in Los Angeles (the delay allowed for family members and others time to arrive).
Murray's defense team acknowledged that the doctor had given Jackson a low dose of the sedative Propofol on the day of his death, June 25, 2009, but that the singer self-administered more of the drug and ingested another sedative, Lorazepam, while the doctor was not present.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, alleged that Murray had behaved recklessly in his treatment of the 50-year-old singer, who was preparing for a string of comeback concerts and complained of insomnia. Several witnesses also testified that Murray did not call 911 immediately after discovering Jackson's unresponsive body. The singer was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The trial began on Sept. 27 and lasted 23 days, concluding with closing statements last Thursday, Nov. 3.

Justice has partially been served. I don't believe 4 years is even close to enough time. Not to mention, with the overcrowding in the prison system, I am willing to bet he doesn't serve anything near to that.
Bottom line is that Michael Jackson was a human being before anything else and he was being treated by a doctor who disregarded his training to SAVE lives and not end them.
It was breathtakingly stupid of Michael Jackson to sign for 50 shows knowing that he had a chronic sleeping problem. The rogue treatment with Propofol, “the magic bullet” was seemingly necessary; Michael wouldn’t have been able to do 1 show without sleep how could he have managed 50? Dr. Murray or not, Michael was doomed! He didn’t have the emotional intelligence to put everything aside and take time to heal, emotionally, physically and mentally. The quick answer that will solve Michael’s dilemma in his mind’s eyes was propofol and Co.
Although this doctor could not have prevented this boat to sink he has precipitated it by digging a bigger hole in the ship’s hull. Dr. Murray chose to be part of Michael Jackson’s vagaries for a big chunk of change under the guise of his medical license. The universe works in mysterious ways, isn’t it? Everything that could go wrong, went wrong, this is Murphy’s law in action. Dr. Conrad Murray is a truly disastrous doctor. This is gross negligence, greed, and it hits the level of criminality. Both men are self-made, and both men are guilty, one is dead, the other will probably be confined to a jail cell where he will be spinning on his butt trying to understand what went wrong. There is no room for softness, I can’t wait for the verdict!
Dr. Murray is not the only greedy man in the MJ saga. This is the crooked timber of humanity. In the crux of this drama I would like to jump from that into another shameful exploitation of MJ. A line of perfumes dedicated to Michael is about to be launched by Michael’s own father and a professional scam-artist who is much spookier than Dr. Murray, Julian Franck Rouas. This story will make your eyes curl up in the back of your head when you’ll read about the psychologically malevolent Julian Rouas and the Jackson Tribute Fragrances rogue operation. With no functioning conscience, they have even used Michael’s kids to promote the stinking perfumes. http://jacksontributefragrances.blogspot.com
I THINK FOUR YRS IS A SLAP ON THE WRIST,ALTHOUGH MR JACKSON TOOK WHATEVER,WHILE THE DR. WAS OUT OF THE ROOM, WHY WERE THESE DIFFERENT MEDS MADE AVAIABLE TO MR.JACKSON . HE WAS THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALIST, HE COULD HAVE REFUSED SERVICES TO HIM. I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR CONRAD MURRAY,I JUST FEEL LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE TIME& HIS LICENSE REVOKED FOR LIFE
