Defense rests in Conrad Murray trial
Description
Dr. Conrad Murray declined to testify as both the prosecution and defense rested their cases on Tuesday (November 01) in his trial for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.
Murray had said on Monday he was still undecided about testifying, but told the judge on Tuesday that he would not take the stand. His decision means that the only time the jury will have heard from him is in a two-hour, taped police interview he gave two days after Jackson's death in 2009.
Murray's defense and prosecution lawyers rested their cases after more than five weeks of evidence and 49 witnesses. The judge set closing arguments for Thursday (November 03).
Murray faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison if convicted.
