Conrad Murray guilty of Michael Jackson manslaughter

Michael Jackson's doctor, Dr Conrad Murray, has been found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of the star by a jury in L.A.

A panel of seven men and five women took two days of deliberation to reach a verdict.

Michael Jackson died on 25 June 2009 from an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol.

Murray, 58, could now receive a maximum prison term of four years and lose his licence to practise medicine.

His lawyers argued that Jackson self-administered a lethal dose of the drug while he was out of the room.

Dr Murray sat silently, shifting in his seat as the verdict was read out.

The jury deliberated on Friday (November 4) and through the morning on Monday (November 7).
