It looks like Michael Jackson’s family, friends, and fans have finally received justice today as Dr. Conrad Murray has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter relating to his death.
The medic has maintained his innocence amid accusations he administered the fatal dose of the powerful drug and anesthetic propofol, which cost the King of Pop his life back on June 25th, 2009.
The six-week case was handed over to the seven-man, five woman jury to begin deliberations last Thursday afternoon, November the 3rd, and jurors announced they had reached a decision today.
Jurors voted for a unanimous guilty verdict.
Members of Jackson’s family, including parents Joe and Katherine, and siblings LaToya, Janet, Jermaine and Randy, were all present in Los Angeles County Courthouse for the verdict.
The singer’s three kids – Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket – were not in court for the hearing.
Michael’s sister, Latyoya Jackson, immediately took to her Twitter page following the conviction:

Murray, who sat expressionless as the verdict was announced, faces up to four years behind bars.
