Two years ago, the news of Michael Jackson's passing made headlines all over the world. This month, the trial for his alleged homicide is starting to draw to a conclusive close as his doctor, Conrad Murray, and his lawyers attempt to weightily imply that the King of Pop's death was the fault of the medic not the attending physician.

The defense has been heavy handed in portraying Jackson as an addict. His anxiety over his comeback tour, "This Is It," made it difficult for him to rest and so he asked for a chemical cocktail that would induce sleeping.

"He used the word 'juice' ... I don't think he mentioned the word of a specific sleep medication," says Dr. Allan Metzger, another one of Jackson's doctors. The singer was adamant in not taking oral drugs and preferred drugs that could be administered intravenously, although Metzger was adamant in denying the 50-year-old singer his request.

The defense implied thatunintentionally, Jackson overdosed on the anesthetic called propofol as he insisted on getting more and more of the drug to feel drowsy. This being contrary to the prosecution's catalogue of evidences which suggested that it was Murray who dispensed the deadly dose of the drug and left at a very critical moment.

The toxicology report in the forensic area of the investigation noted that besides propofol, traces of lorezepam, an anti-anxiety drug, was found in Jackson's body. This might be a clue as to what tipped the dangerous cocktail over the edge and eventually, killed the celebrated performer.

The defense is said to have some 15 more witnesses including character witnesses and medical experts, all of whom will be vital in the charges against Murray. The trial is expected to go into jury in a week's time.
