Christopher Rogers, chief of forensic medicine for the Los Angeles County coroner who performed the autopsy on Michael Jackson testified Tuesday that the musician's death would have been classified a homicide even if the singer gave himself the final dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol.
Rogers later testified that Dr. Conrad Murray was improperly using the anesthetic propofol to treat Jackson for insomnia, and that Murray was wrong to leave his side while he was under anesthesia before he died.
If tired and convicted Murray could face up to four years in prison.
