Prosecutors(原告)said Murray gave Jackson propofol, which is forbidden to be used as a sleep aid, and then abandoned the entertainer while he, Murray, attended to personal matters. They said the doctor put off calling for emergency help after finding Jackson unresponsive. They also said Jackson put his trust in Murray and paid for it with his life.
Murray's lawyers argued Jackson gave himself the fatal dosage without the doctor's knowledge. They said there is no proof the doctor did anything wrong. Murray did not take the stand in his defense.
Jackson, 50, died June 25, 2009 in his rented Holmby Hills estate near Los Angeles when he was rehearsing for his series of 50 sold-out concerts to be staged in London. He would have earned at least 100 million U.S. dollars from the tour, according to reports.
Apart from the criminal trial, Jackson's father has filed a wrongful death suit, accusing Murray of lying to the doctors and paramedics who tried to save the singer's life.
Additionally, a hearing is set for January on a prosecution proposal that Murray pay more than $100 million to compensate Jackson's family.
Jackson’s mother, Katherine, said she was satisfied with the outcome of the high-publicity trial and expressed her gratitude to prosecutors when she was leaving the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.
"The judge gave him the maximum," she said. "So I thank the judge and I thank the prosecutors, and I think everything went well."
