November,8,2011-Berberanews.com- Michael Jackson’s personal doctor was found guilty on Monday of involuntary manslaughter in the singer’s death following a six-week trial that captivated Jackson fans around the world.
Cardiologist Dr Conrad Murray, 58, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after the jury decided his treatment of the singer had been criminally negligent. Murray, who will lose his medical licence, showed no emotion as the verdict was delivered.
Jackson died on June 25, 2009, at a rented Los Angeles mansion where Murray had been treating him for chronic insomnia during rehearsals for a series of 50 comeback concerts in London.
Prosecutors had argued Murray was hideously negligent in administering the drugs to help Jackson sleep. Defence attorneys claimed Jackson delivered the fatal doses to himself.
