Michael Jackson’s doctor was convicted Monday of involuntary manslaughter in the pop star’s death for supplying an insomnia-plagued Jackson with a powerful operating-room anesthetic to help him sleep as he rehearsed for his big comeback.

A medical expert looked jurors in the eyes Wednesday and told them that Michael Jackson’s doctor committed 17 flagrant violations of the standard of care for his famous patient and was directly responsible for the death of the King of Pop.

First, prosecutors showed a photo of Michael Jackson’s pale and lifeless body lying on a gurney. Then they played a recording of his voice, just weeks before his death.
