With the net closing in on Dr. Conrad Murray, RadarOnline.com spoke exclusively with power house criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos about what Dr. Murray's defense strategy might be.

BREAKING NEWS: Court Documents Confirm Michael Jackson Died From Propofol

"This case will be won or lost during jury selection," Geragos tells RadarOnline.com. "The defense would be looking for a juror that take a strong position, and side with doctors and not second guess doctors. The prosecution would be looking for people that are sympathetic to Michael Jackson. This isn't a slam dank case for the prosecution. It's very hard for a jury to convict a doctor of criminal wrongdoing."

"The defense looks like it's shaping up to be that Dr. Murray encountered an addict and he was trying to wean Michael off the drugs and he was the last man standing. It will also come down to causation, meaning whether it was those particular drugs that caused Michael's death. It will also be a battle of the experts. The defense could say that the Los Angeles County Coroner was influenced by the cops and Murray could bring in his own pathologist to dispute the findings," Geragos says.

The biggest hurdle facing Dr. Murray is explaining why Propofol was being used in a home setting, says Geragos. "That will be the biggest obstacle for Murray to overcome, is explaining why Propofol was being used at home. Dr. Murray's attorney's will say that he was trying to help Michael."

Where have you been, right after Micheal died, 3 different physicans came out and said how they were addicted to Propofol and they even said how addicting it was, so MJ was addicted to it.

The amount of doses of each drug that you injected into his body alone every half hour would be enough to kill an elephant. There is no defense......You killed him....pure and simple!

I believe he deserves 2nd degree also, he is incompetent and was only thinking of the almighty $ instead of Michael's life.

I pray for the day that justice is served for the death of Michael. I hope Dr Murray & all other doctors who contributed to Michael's abuse goes down. Michael put his life in the hands of these doctors.

Michael had to settle for these kinds of Doctor's because the really good one's told him "NO" when he wanted drugs. Part of the blame also has to fall on Micheal for not facing the fact that he had a serious drug problem.

No excuse you incompetent. I think you deserve 2nd degree. Anesthesia in a house no respiratory back up and your not an anesthesiologist. IDIOT. Lock him up and throw away the key.

You guys said it..yes he was an addict but Murray and other MDs are responsible for giving him the medicines, including the anesthesia-they had a duty to refuse him these RXs and clearly didn't.
