and i think when david walgren looked at the jury and said, you know what? nobody long exactly what happened in that room between conrad murray and michael jackson. but the very fact is, that conrad murray brought in the propofol. he brought in the lore as pam, it wouldn't have been there unless he did it. the defense didn't, how can you argue with that? you can't. >> stay with us. before we go to break, several members of the jackson family and some of his friends spoke to jane velez-mitchell of our sister network as they left the room. >> justice was served. yes. it wasn't enough time though. >> what would you say -- >> michael is with us. michael is with us. >> tell us what you would say to america. >> just thank you so much. i'm just happy it's over with. nothing will bring him back but i'm happy he was found guilty. >> thank you, america. thank all the fans. thank the prosecuting team of i want to thank you. jane. i love you. >> what would you say to michael? >> i'm going to say something. michael loves everybody out here. we all love him. and guess wha

here's lead prosecutor david walgren. >> michael jackson trusted conrad murray.ed him with his life. he paid with his life. and the evidence in this case is overwhelming. the evidence in this case is abundantly clear that conrad murray acted with criminal negligence. that conrad murray caused the death of michael jackson. that conrad murray left prince, paris and blanket without a father. >> after walgren was finished defense attorney edward chernoff took the floor and repeated his version of the facts. that michael jackson gave himself the fatal dose of propofol. >> the prosecution has to show that dr. murray actually killed michael jackson. dr. murray had no control over the situation because what was happening in the background -- he was just a little fish in a big dirty pond. they want you to convict dr. murray for the actions of michael jackson. they just don't want to tell you that. >> randi kaye was in the courtroom and joins us in a moment but first she looks back at the evidence the jury will have to weigh when they get the case today. >> reporter: tears

during closing arguments district attorney david walgren telling the jury dr. murray was reckless with michael jackson's life when he gave the singer a deadly dose of propofol. >> if he had a way to do it, i bet you he would find a way to blame it on michael jackson's son prince. >> reporter: defense attorney ed shernof said prosecutors had not proven that dr. murray committed a crime. >> dr. murray had no control of the situation. because what was happening in the background, he was just a little fish in a big dirty pond. >> reporter: prosecutor david walgren sited evidence that murray did not call medics. and placed on the stand doctors. >> nobody has ever seen propofol administered outside of a hospital setting, let alone in a household. >> reporter: dr. murray maintains he was trying to wean jackson off propofol. judge pastor read jurors their final instructions. >> you must discuss the case only in the jury room and only when all 12 jurors and no other persons are present. >>> judge then told the jury to take the rest of the evening off to get some rest. r

what are the looks on the faces of both ed chernoff and david walgren? how do they look?l, you know, while one of the folks from the defense team came p up up to me and said, he and i said, what do you think? he said, off the record, it would have been nice to go another day or two. clearly the timing of the verdict is still in that window which you would think would lead towards a guilty verdict. prosecution has to be very happy with the timing of this. of course, that said, anything can happen. you look at the casey anthony verdict, about ten hours. so anything can happen, but i think it's safe to say the defense and probably conrad murray himself are pretty nervous right now. >> ted rowlands, thank you. let's go just outside the courthouse to casey wian. casey, as we're seeing a number of people, protestors, demonstrators, holding up the signs, i'm sure you see the scene right around where you are. again, you had mentioned latoya jack sob getting out of the car, a number of jackson family members in the courthouse, of course, for this significant day. what else are you

david walgren started off telling the your this wasn't a case about a doctor/patient relationship. this is a case about a guy willing to do something very dangerous for $150,000 a month. he also reminded the jury about michael jackson's three children that will be growing up fatherless. the jackson family was in the courtroom as they usually are and there were a few moments where it was very emotional. one of them and we'll take a listen in just a second here was when david walgren was talking about that minute where michael jackson likely died. >> this is when conrad murray gave just an ounce of attention to michael jackson to see what his condition was. but again, how long he had again in that condition, we'll never know. was conrad murray in another room? did michael jackson yell out for help? did he gasp? did he choke? were there sounds? we don't know. and we'll never know. because of the neglect and negligence of conrad murray. >> now ed chernoff was equally passionate during his close. he said that dr. murray was a little fish in a big, dirty pond and he told jurors, hey, thi

and then, david walgren proceeded to appeal to michael jackson's children.id, "for michael's children, this case will gone on forever. they do not have a father because of the actions of conrad murray." as we know, conrad murray is facing a single charge of involuntary manslaughter. potentially, he could face four years in prison, but he's a doctor, as we know. he has no prior crimes to his name, and our lawyers here, our experts, jami floyd and john kelly were just surmising that he'll definitely, if found guilty, lose his medical license, but perhaps will not have to serve the whole time. in closing arguments, the defense said dr. murray should not be held responsible for the actions of a grown man, actions that include him taking other drugs, such as the sedative lorazepam, which the coroner's office said contributed to jackson's death. let's listen to that exchange. >> what you need to do is convict dr. murray for the actions of michael jackson. if it were anybody else but michael jackson, anybody else, would this doctor be here today? so was dr. murray

. >> ed chernoff, the defense attorney, david walgren, the prosecutor in this case. er with waiting momentarily. the judge will come out. the judge michael pastor. and have the verdict from the jury, jeffrey toobin is watching all this unfold. explain, jeffrey, the burden of proof, involuntary manslaughter, if proven, eligible for up to four years in prison. but explain the burden of proof as far as conviction is concerned. >> involuntary is the keyword here. er with used to murder cases, homicide cases, where the charge is intentional killing. the l.a. district attorney's office did not decide to make that charge. they are charging involuntary manslaughter, which only requires that the government prove that conrad murray acted recklessly and caused michael jackson's death. it is not a case about intending to kill michael jackson. no one argues that conrad murray intentionally killed him. all the prosecution has to show is that he behaved recklessly, that his behavior was well outside the standard of care and that his bad doctoring killed michael jackson. those two t

the prosecutor david walgren did a very good job.convince the judge we shouldn't talk about finances of michael jackson. >> you also wanted arne klein. they said no to that as well. all of those things coming up. do you think on tuesday jackson's family members will address the court? they've been there throughout the trial. do you think someone is going to deliver an impact statement? >> i would think so. we were there in court this last week and david walgren said he thought there was going to be individual speaking. i would just anticipate the only individual they would have speak would be a member of the family. >> how about you, do you have anybody getting up? do you have the opportunity to do so? >> yes, we do. we are -- we are thinking about doing that also. >> you can watch coverage of murray sentencing on tuesday right here on cnn. >>> well, coming up, caught on tape, a dangerous rescue at sea and the royal air force sent its best royal co-pilot. premier of . you know organization is key... and so is having a trusted assista

prosecutor david walgren completed the state's case by recalling doctor steven shaffer, testifying that standard of care should actually be higher in a home setting and restated his belief on the amount of propofol given to michael jackson. >> in your opinion, does this absolutely rule out the hypothesis put forward by doctor white? >> absolutely. >> and is it consistent with the hypothesis put forward by yourself? >> it actually suggests that michael jackson received more propofol than suggested by my simulations >> reporter: after 33 prosecution witnesses and 16 for the defense, both sides have rested. the jury is returning to the courtroom here towards morning. closing arguments are expected to begin soon thereafter. in los angeles, craig bozwell. >>> google announced it's ready to roll out a new version of g-mail. the blog posting the interface has a simplified main screen, automatically resizes text and graphic, and has improved search and navigation. google says users will be able to search to the new look some time in the the next few days. >>> a marine mammel is healthy enough t

nes.eporter: prosecutor david walgren aggressively cross- nxamined the star witness for the defense, anesthesiologist paul white previously testified that michael jackson injected wimself with the fatal dose of the sedative propofol, although today he conceded that dr. conrad murray's in-home treatment of jackson violated medical standards. >> have you ever administered propofol in someone's bedroom. >> no, i have not. >> reporter: have you ever heard of anyone doing that prior to this case? >> no, i have not. >> reporter: dr. white was grilled on murray's lack of monitoring equipment and that dr. murray did not immediately call 911 when he found michael jackson unresponsive. >> are you saying he was not capable of pushing 911? >> reporter: murray also did not tell emergency personnel about the propofol. >> is that your testimony, that it was a detail that was overlooked? >> it was obviously overlooked, he didn't... >> not obviously. it could also be a lie, correct? thaect. that's another option. >> if you say so, i guess, yeah. >> reporter: white says the amount of propofol murray c

. >> reporter: during closing arguments, prosecutor david walgren said the evidence against dr.urray is overwhelming. he called the cardiologist criminally negligent for causing jackson's death, with an overdose of the powerful anesthetic, propofol. >> for michael's children, this case will go on forever because they do not have a father because of the actions of conrad murray. >> reporter: defense lawyers argue nothing dr. conrad murray did or did not do was criminal, and that it was jackson, desperate for sleep, who killed himself, when he self- administered the lethal dose. >> reporter: the judge began the day by giving detailed instructions to the seven men and five women on the jury. he told the panels to use their common sense and experience when deliberating. >> do not consider for any reason at all the fact that the defendant did not testify. >> reporter: outside, officers picked lottery numbers for a seat in the courtroom. some spectalitior -- spectators have been there every day of the try trial. so have members of the jackson family. the case will soon be in the hands

david walgren, the lead prosecutor in the case gave a hug to jermaine jackson and then to mrs.could tell that they were very, very appreciative of their work, the district attorney's work in this case. >> the maximum sentence is four years, and there's also this whole issue of whether he can carry on practicing as a doctor. what are you anticipating will be the outcome here? >> well, his medical license in each of the states where he practices will have to be dealt with by those medical board. the court of law has no control over that. the california medical board has already indicated they'll suspend his license. he could try to petition for it back later, but that would be a whole other process. he's looking at four years max, but however it's likely he'll probably spend about two years and that two years maybe in a county jail because of funding issueses in the state of california. >> ted rowlands you've done a fantastic job on this trial from start to finish. thank you again for your reporting. >>> joining me now, a member of dr. murray's defense team, nareg gourjian. not a

david walgren, the lead prosecutor told this jury this wasn't a case of a doctor?as a case of a guy willing to put somebody at risk when he knew what he was doing was dangerous, giving him propofol for payment, saying this was all about the $150,000 a month dr. conrad murray thought he was going to get. he reminded the jurors of jackson's three children who will now grow up fatherless because of the actions of dr. conrad murray. he then talked about the critical moments when michael jackson actually died. >> did michael jackson yell out for help? did he gasp, did he choke? were there sounds? we don't know. and we'll never know, because of the neglect and negligence of conrad murray. >> reporter: ed chernoff on the other hand tried to focus the jury on the science of exactly what happened when michael jackson died saying if they look at the evidence, they'll see that michael jackson accidentally killed himself. he also told the jury that if it wasn't michael jackson that was the victim in this case, none of them would be there. >> what they're asking you to do, just

on monday there are fireworks in the courtroom with lead prosecutor david walgren attacking the defensetness, dr. paul white on cross examination. walgren tried to dismantle the theory that michael jackson killed himself with an injection of propofol. he also attacked white in that he asked him about standard of care issues, specifically at one point he talked about michael jackson being found unresponsive, yet dr. conrad murray waiting 20 minutes to call 911. >> there's no justification for what conrad murray did in failing to call 911, is there? >> as i said earlier, i think he should have called 911 sooner. i do not, however, think it would have made any difference in the outcome of this case. >> reporter: dr. paul white is expected back on the stand when court resumes. we're expecting one more witness for the defense after white is finished. that is assuming dr. conrad murray doesn't take the stand in his own defense. ted rowlands, cnn, los angeles. >> you can watch these last moments of the trial unfold as it happens on our sister network. hln is carrying complete coverage of dr. c
