Dr. Conrad Murray's legal defense is that Michael Jackson gave himself the fatal dose of Propofol, according to TMZ.

Citing multiple sources familiar with the strategy, the website reported Sunday that the defense will argue Murray gave the singer a very small dose of the powerful anesthetic -- enough to keep someone asleep for five to 10 minutes -- and that the doctor stayed in the room, leaving only to go to the bathroom.
