Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter case could be over this week. The defense rested today, and closing arguments are set to begin on Thursday, reports the Los Angeles Times. Murray today decided not to testify on his own behalf. His fate will hinge on whether jurors buy his claim that Michael Jackson managed to inject himself with a lethal dose of propofol. Prosecutors say Murray delivered the fatal dose, then tried to cover up his incompetence.
