Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr Conrad Murray, has been found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of the star by a jury in Los Angeles. 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. Dr Murray's lawyers argued that Jackson self-administered a lethal dose of the drug while he was out of the room. Dr Murray was remanded in custody without bail until he receives his sentence, set for 29 November. Explaining his decision, the judge said Dr Murray was now a convicted felon and had considerable ties outside the state of California, meaning he could not guarantee that the doctor would remain in the state. Dr Murray sat silently in court, shifting slightly in his seat as the verdict was read out. Court officers began to handcuff the physician as the judge made his final announcements, before leading him away into custody. 'Drug addict' The jury - made up of one African American, six whites and five Hispanics - deliberated on Friday and through the morning on Monday. Outside the court, fans of Michael Jackson were cheering and chanting, "Guilty! Guilty!" in the run-up to the verdict being announced. During the six-week trial, 49 witnesses and more than 300 pieces of evidence were presented to the court. Michael Jackson, who had been out of the public eye for several years, died in 2009 as he was preparing for a series of comeback performances at the 02 arena in London. In his closing argument last Thursday, the prosecution said Dr Murray had caused the star's death through negligence, depriving Jackson's children of their father and the world of a "genius". The defence argued that Jackson was a drug addict who caused his own death by giving himself an extra dose of propofol while the cardiologist was out of the room at the star's rented mansion in Los Angeles.
