It's all in the people's hands now.

The involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray went to jury Thursday, following passionate closing arguments from prosecutor David Walgren and defense attorney Ed Chernoff.

During closing arguments, Walgren accused Murray of performing an "obscene experiment" on Jackson for treating his insomnia with propofol. He also slammed defense witness Paul White, accusing him of foisting "junk science" on the court.

Chernoff, meanwhile, maintained that Jackson was responsible for his own death. During a rambling closing argument, he also suggested that Jackson's celebrity status was the only reason that the case went to...

The involuntary manslaughter trial went into extra innings Monday, with anesthesiology expert Dr. Paul White still on the stand at the end of the day, despite hopes that Murray's defense would rest today.

While the trial might be dragging on, however, the energy level remained high, with prosecuting attorney David Walgren hammering away at White in an effort to discredit his previous testimony for Murray's defense.

In chipping away at White's testimony, Walgren used one of the most powerful tools at his disposal -- White's own words, in the form of articles he'd written about the outpatient use of anesthetics. Walgren rattled off passage after passage written by White about the...

Murray's attorneys have backed away from...

Taking the stand for Murray's defense in the involuntary manslaughter trial, Brandon "Randy" Phillips, CEO of concert promoters AEG Live, recalled a panicked email from Ortega on June 19, describing how Jackson had been unable to focus during rehearsals, and had actually missed a number of rehearsals.

An emergency meeting between Jackson, Ortega, Murray and Phillips was held the next day, but Jackson and Murray offered...
