walgren? >> yes, sir. >> mr. cler november? >> yes. >> thank you. ladies and gentlemen of the jury, i will now read to you final instructions upon discharge of jurors. you now have completed your jury service on this case. on behalf of all of the employees of the los angeles superior court and parties in this case, and others involved in this case, please accept my thanks for your time and effort. throughout this trial, i have admonished each of you not to speak of anything about this case with anyone other than fellow juror during deliberations in the jury room. that order is lifted and vacated. which means from now on you have the absolute right either to discuss or not to discuss anything about this case with anyone else. if you want to talk about the case, that decision is appropriate. if you do not want to talk about this case, the decision is appropriate bp. the decision is yours and yours alone. i repeat. the decision is yours and yours alone. i remind you that under california law, you

david walgren approached the jurors. >> the evidence in this case is overwhelming.ed with criminal negligence. that conrad murray caused the death of michael jackson. that conrad murray left prince, paris and blanket without a father. for them, this case doesn't end today. >> reporter: walgren said the kids lost their father, because conrad murray failed to do his job as a doctor. >> and you heard from this cross section of experts who came in here and told you about the standard of care. what is needed, what are the dangers, what is required. every single doctor that testified in this courtroom told you, they would never do what conrad murray did. >> reporter: walgren finished by urging that murray be brought to justice. >> conrad murray, abandoned michael jackson. conrad murray gave him propofol and abandoned him. conrad murray is criminally liable. justice demands a guilty verdict. thank you. >> their key point was, he violated michael jackson's trust. it's a doctor/patient case. do we expect our doctors to walk out of a room? do we expect our doctors to give us

and yet as walgren said, what did he do?e ordered more propofol and more benz over diazepine for michael jackson to die jefls i think trent is exactly right. that tape of murray plus this tape of michael jackson sealed the deal. conrad murray locked himself in early. i only gave him 25 milligrams of propofol and i was only gone for two minutes. the rest of the testimony proved that that just wasn't true. it just couldn't have been true. >> dr. gupta, is there a message to the medical community in this message? or is dr. murray so far out there, that there is nobody else throughout that needs to learn this lesson? >> a little of both. when i first heard this, i was talking to you. it was so bizarre that it was hard to fathom that someone would think of abusing propofol in this way outside a clinical setting. propofol isn't even considered a controlled substance. it is in hospitals and clinics will but the fact that people would take that medication and use it in the home. it seemed almost unimaginable to a lot of people not t

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

clearly, the cause of death isn't established and walgren acknowledged that. they have to go through this and then search their souls. i think there's a chance that there's a hung jury in this case. >> thanks very much, indeed. we may hear a verdict tomorrow on that absorbing trial. >>> but now, herman cain, he says the american people are sick of the accusations against him which he called gutter politics. if a fund raising is any indication, he might be wrong. he raised an impressive $1.2 million since sunday when the sexual harassment allegations against him first broke and in the face of new details today a defiant cain is not backing down. listen to what he said on sean hannity's radio show earlier today. >> this will not deter me. this businessman is not going to be deterred in his drive to basically do what i feel like i'm supposed to be doing which is to win this nomination and win the presidency. >> herman cain today. joining me now is jonathan martin, he broke the story about a $45,000 payment to one of herman cain's accusers. welcome, jonathan. anot

walgren back on the attack over dr.n dialing 911, because the jackson mansion had no land line. >> conrad murray had a cell phone in his hand by his own statement. are you saying he was not capable of pushing 911? >> reporter: in the end, the expert who helped dr. murray so much last week, explaining how jackson could have taken his own life, today conceded dr. murray should never have taken the job. >> it's something that no amount of money could convince me to accept or take on as a responsibility. >> reporter: it became so combative today, the judge had to step in, fining dr. white $1,000 for not responding to the prosecutor's questions directly. >> and the judge did that. okay, jim avila, following it day by day, as we said. >>> and still ahead, the mozart effect. does listening to mozart make rtur doctor a better doctor? effect. does listening to mozart make your doctor a better doctor? thef simpler than ever. click on the robitussin® relief finder. click on your symptoms. get your right relief. ♪ makes the cold ai

never leave a syringe there for somebody to possibly pick up and inject. >> the prosecutor, david walgreng rehearsed lines during his testimony. mark, does that kind of aggressiveness backfire sometimes or is it effective? >> it does sometimes, but i'll tell you, david has got -- i've known david for a long time. he's got a wonderful way in front of jurors. he's also built up a little bit of good will, i think, or capital, if you will, with this jury. normally, you do not want to come out that aggressive. i think that he could afford to here. i think he did a very good job. i think the defense has got their work cut out for them in trying to rehabilitate him. >> the prosecutor got the defense's star witness to admit he would never administer propofol in a bedroom setting and he would never accept a job as michael jackson's doctor if it meant giving him propofol regularly to help him sleep. how damaging was this today? >> i think it was extremely damaging. you got the jury there listening to this doctor that's there for the defense actually admitteding and saying that, look, this is not th

. >> reporter: in just minutes walgren got white to admit that murray had deviated from the standard prosecution he said that he believes when murray left jackson's bedroom, he left a syringe loaded with propofol. a syringe that jackson could have used himself to give himself another 25 milligrams of propofol never expecting it could stop his heart. >> conrad murray drew up the syringe? in your analysis. yes or no? >> yes. >> reporter: even if murray did not administer the fatal dose he's responsible for the pop star's death because murray brought the powerful anesthetic propofol into the room. >> would you walk out of the room and leave him alone with no personnel and no monitoring equipment, you're of the opinion that they like to push propofol themselves? would you walk out of the room in that situation, yes or no? >> no, i would not leave the room. >> reporter: murray told investigators he left the room for about two minutes, but dr. white testified he believed murray wasn't paying attention to jackson for 35 to 40 minutes before he left the room because he was talking on his cel

walgren and mrs. brazil. all alternates are present and are all regular members of the jury are present. good afternoon. ladies and gentlemen of the jury, i'm advised that the jury has reached a verdict. who is the foreperson of the verdict? >> i am, your honor. >> jury number three, thank you, your honor. is that correct? >> yes, it is. >> the jury has reached a verdict? >> yes, has the jury and foreperson signed the appropriate form? >> yes. >> do you have all the forms with you? >> yes. >> can you provide the verdict forms to deputy jones, who will then present them to me? thank you. the court has reviewed the verdict form. and ladies and gentlemen, there was a typo in terms of the date of the alleged incident. it was written june 9th, 2009, and jury number three, you have corrected that to june 25th. you put a 2-5 and you put some squigglies after that? >> yes, sir. >> i've reviewed the verdict form, which now i will pass to mrs. benson, the court clerk. mrs. benson will publish the verdict. >> superior c

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

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

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

. >> reporter: during closing arguments district attorney david walgreen walgren telling the jury dr.onrad murray was reckless with michael jackson's life. attorneys for dr. conrad murray argue it was jackson who gave himself the fatal dose of propofol. defense attorney ed chernoff said prosecutors had not proven that dr. murray committed a crime. >> 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. >> reporter: prosecutor david walgren painted murray as a selfish reckless physician and cited evidence stating murray did not call medics as finding jackson unresponsive and had statements from doctors saying they would never give propofol as a sleep aid. >> you heard from the experts. no one has ever seen propofol administered outside of a hospital setting let alone in a bedroom. >> reporter: throughout the presentation dr. murray stared at the projected images opposite the jury and rarely looked away. dr. murray maintains he was trying to wean jackson off propofol. after almost six weeks of testimony

. >> showing photos of jackson's three children, walgren said they no longer have a father because drhis is not just kind of a deviation or an error in judgment. this is criminal, gross negligence,ed administered an agent that causes respiratory failure if not used properly, that causes death. this has never been seen before. this is bizarre, unethical, unconscionable behavior. >> walgren took the jury on a tour of the evidence, how murray, he said, agreed to give jackson a dangerous drug for an off-label use, then abandoned the star to text and talk on the phone, and that when jackson was stricken, murray's actions show he was thinking first of his own reputation and possible exposure. >> the fact that conrad murray would not tell the paramedics that he administered propofol and had been administering propofol for over two months, that is consciousness of guilt. that is conrad murray knowing full well what caused michael's death. that is conrad murray not putting the patient first. that is conrad murray putting conrad murray first. >> justice, he said, demands a guilty verdict. >> co
