Jury reaches verdict in Michael Jackson doctor's manslaughter case
Michael Jackson's personal physician has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by a jury in California.
Conrad Murray showed no emotion as the guilty verdict was read out in court in Los Angeles.
"Doctor Murray's reckless conduct in this case poses a demonstrable risk to the safety of the public. If doctor Murray remains6 out of custody7 on bond and even though doctor Murray is a medical doctor and even though he has been practicing, public safety demands that he be remanded."
The jury has determined8 that Murray acted recklessly in administering a sedative9 to Michael Jackson which ultimately led to his death in the summer of 2009.
Murray could face up to 4-years in prison, and has been remanded into custody to await sentencing.
