The case against the doctor accused of killing Michael Jackson has gone to the
jury, with deliberations set to begin today. The seven-man, five-woman panel got
the case Thursday after daylong closing arguments by a prosecutor and defense
attorney.  The defense told jurors that Michael Jackson caused his own death
"They want you to convict Dr. Conrad Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson,"
the lawyer said. Prosecution Attorney David Walgren projected images of
Jackson's grief-stricken children on a giant screen and told jurors that Murray
took away their father. Jackson's mother and siblings watched from the courtroom
gallery. The prosecutor repeatedly called Murray's treatment of Jackson bizarre
and said there was no precedent for the cardiologist giving Michael the powerful
anesthetic to help him sleep.  After recapping all the evidence the prosecution
presented, Walgren ended the closing by saying, "Conrad Murray is criminally
liable," he said. "Justice demands a guilty verdict."

Kris Jenner was on "FOX & Friends" Thursday to talk about her new book,  "Kris
Jenner and All Things Kardashian." and help the world cope with the dissolution
of her daughter, Kim Kardashian's, marriage. Jenner also addressed some rumors
that have been circulating that Kim's soon-to-be-ex, Kris Humphries, wants that
$2 million dollar ring back. "That's between them" she said. "...a gift is a
gift. If you look at the etiquette books, it says keep a present."  Kris says
Kim doesn't care about the ring or the presents, frivolous things like
that...it's more important to think about two people and how their lives are
changing.  

In the meantime, Kim Kardashian has cut short her promo trip to Australia where
she was getting paid $150,000 an hour to show up at an Australian horse racing

was announced and she says she's 'not yet ready' to say what was going on
