This is It! This is It! This is It! Michael Jackson supporters chanted that title to one of Jackson’s hit songs, and what would have been the billing for Jackson’s last concert tour, as the crowd anxiously waited outside of the LA County Courthouse, following the announcement that the jury had reached a verdict in the case of Dr. Conrad Murray. Reportedly, a heavy police presence was available as crowds for and against Murray gathered around the building.
Anyone who has not been in a propofol coma during the past few months knows that Michael Jackson’s doctor has been on trial for involuntary manslaughter following his indictment in the icon’s death. Jackson died of acute propofol intoxication on June 25, 2009.
The seven men and five women jury deliberated for about 10 hours following closing arguments last week. The twelve had the weekend off and came back today with a guilty verdict.
Murray faces up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical license.
