Los Angeles court jury found Michael Jackson doctor guilty




LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- A Los Angeles Superior Court jury on Monday found pop superstar Michael Jackson's personal physician Conrad Murray guilt in the singer's Propofol-induced death, while the trial wrapped up on Monday afternoon.
At the conclusion of the six-week trial, the seven-man, five- woman jury read the long-expected verdict, which found Murray guilt of one count of involuntary manslaughter charge for Jackson' s June 25, 2009 death.
Murray, who faces up to four years in prison, remained stone- faced as the verdict was announced, showing no visible reaction.
The jury deliberated for about eight and a half hours before reaching a verdict.
When the verdict was announced, some cries of "Yes" could be heard from the courtroom audience. Jackson fans could also been seen jubilated when the news was spread outside the courthouse.
Jackson's parent's, Katherine and Joe, were among those in the audience, along with his brother Jermaine and sister LaToya.
In addition, 24 fans and 20 media members, as well as others, presented when the verdict was read.
