conrad murray's lawyers changed their argument. necessity now claim that michael jackson injected himself with the drug and took other sedatives along with it without the doctor's knowledge or supervision. and they say thatÑi is ultimate limit what killed him but dr. schaefer believes dr. conrad murray's meg conference caused the death and pointed to a dozen mistakes he claims dr. conrad murray made any one of which could have killed the singer. and, now, live, outside the courthouse in los angeles this afternoon, how did the prosecution end its case today? >>reporter: they ended with dr. schaefer and he was one of 33 witnesses, the 16th day of testimony in los angeles, and this witness was on the stand longer than anyone else, even close with cross-examination began on friday with the defense team and today re-direct by the prosecution and recross-examination by the against and by most estimates he was a strong witness. the defense did get a couple of shots in when dr. schaefer admitted he did some investigation on his own before

if not conrad murray than somebody else. that sort of seems to be under this whole trial has been that feeling. will that be something the defense could use to affect the sentence, maybe get a more lenient sentence? >> i can only pray they do, because in effect, what that is saying is hey, if my client didn't kill him somebody would have. that would have a horrible argument in court. the reality is even if he is convicted on this extremely weak charge of involuntary manslaughter, he may get straight probation for killing the king of pop. i'm not saying that jackson's life is more valuable than anyone else but i'm saying what it symbolizes. what you can get away with in a court of law is shocking. he may get straight probation, even on a conviction. it's possible. >> that's amazing. hopefully it will go to the jury next week at some point. in the meantime u you are busy covering the trial and in a slightly awkward turn in our interview you are doing a lot of dancing and spinning around. do you think you can win and topple ric
