WATCH: This Is It, Conrad Murray Trial Live

The physician is charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of Michael Jackson.

Watch a live stream of the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, who is charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of Michael Jackson here. Opening arguments are set to begin today at 8:45 a.m., PST in Los Angeles. 

Jackson, then 50, died at his L.A. home on June 25, 2009, from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives, according to authorities.

Murray was in Jackson’s bedroom when he died, according to authorities. He pleaded not guilty in January to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and faces up to four years in prison if convicted. Murray's lawyers contend The King of Pop gave himself Propofol when Murray left the room to make phone calls. 

The trial is expected to last until the end of October.
