Prosecutors are seeking to prove that Murray failed to properly monitor Jackson after giving him a dose of the surgical anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid.
Murray admits administering the drug but denies involuntary manslaughter. His lawyers have argued that Jackson caused his own death by giving himself an extra dose of propofol, mixed with prescription sedatives, without Murray's knowledge.
If convicted, Murray faces up to four years in prison.
