Michael Jackson's Doctor Awaits Trial Verdict

The trial of Conrad Murray, the doctor accused of involuntary manslaughter surrounding Michael Jackson’s death, is expected to come to a verdict tonight at 7pm.

The world-famous superstar was tragically found dead on June 25th 2009, after suffering from acute propofol intoxication. Murray, the doctor who supplied the prescription drug to Jackson, was quickly arrested and is now being held on trial, accused of involuntary manslaughter – an allegation he pleaded not guilty to.

Two years and five months later, the lengthy and highly-discussed trial is drawing to a close, with a decision officially due at 6pm today. But, with such a high-profile and global affair, things were always going to go on longer than expected, and now it looks more likely that officials will come to a decision by 7pm.

Michael’s ever faithful and supportive fans are hoping for a guilty decision as a source of some justice for the loss of their star, who they believe could have been saved and his death prevented had Murray acted more professionally and less incompetently. Others believe that Jackson was entirely at fault over the overdose, and that the Doctor has become a scapegoat for wild fan’s bitterness after they lost their favourite, the King of Pop. This is why the jury face an outstandingly tough decision on what happens to Murray, currently the world’s most notorious doctor.

While no official time is set for the verdict to be reached, Stereoboard will be following the trial closely and vigorously, and will be bring you an extended feature on one of the world’s most infamous trials the music scene has seen for a long time as soon as the judge and jury reach their decision.
