Katherine Jackson - Michael Jackson's mom, Katherine Jackson, filed the lawsuit on behalf of herself and his three children. Throughout the trial, she was moved to tears, and during her live testimony near the trial's end, she explained why she filed the suit in the first place, "I want to know what really happened to my son," she said. "...The most difficult thing is to sit here in the court and listen to all the bad things they say about my son ... A lot of the 'facts' that have been said are not the truth."(Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)

The Jury - The case was presented to a jury of six women and six men, who were painstakingly selected from a pool of 100 candidates who were given a 24-page questionnaire to determine if they'd be objective enough peers. By the end, another questionnaire became a pivotal point — the jury was given a verdict form to help make their final decision. They were asked to answer such questions as "Did AEG hire Conrad Murray?" and "How much percentage, if any, would you say MJ was responsible for in his own death?" (Photo: Spencer Weiner-Pool/Getty Images)

Conrad Murray - Conrad Murray is the former doctor who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson in November 2011. Jackson died suddenly in June 2009 from an overdose of propofol, a powerful anesthetic that Murray adminstered to MJ at his home.

Prince Michael Jackson - “Nothing will ever be the same,” testified Prince Michael, Jackson's eldest son. "... I have a hard time sleeping. [And] For a while after he died, I became emotionally distant from a lot of people." Prince was in the house the day his father overdosed and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. It was Murray who later told him and his siblings that their father died.The teenaged Jackson said prior to that day, he had seen his father upset during phone calls with his manager and an AEG exec. "He would cry sometimes after he got off the phone," Prince said. "He would say, 'They're going to kill me. They’re gonna kill me.'"(Photo: Joe Scarnici/Getty Images for MediaPlacement)

Debbie Rowe - Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe delivered a tearful testimony as well. She said that he took propofol as early as the '90s. He used it as a sleeping aid while on tour in Germany, she said. Rowe also descibed how doctors would compete with each other to treat him. "Michael had a very low pain tolerance, and his fear of pain was incredible, and I think the doctors took advantage of him that way," she said.(Photo: Splash News)

Randy Jackson - In a video deposition from MJ's younger brother, Randy said that the family had staged numerous interventions because they believed MJ was an addict. Many of the siblings attended, he said, but their mom, Katherine, only attended once or twice because she was "in denial." He said MJ would get physical with him during heated confrontations about drug use. "I wasn't afraid to say 'no' to him ... But he's like 90 pounds, so it wouldn't do much," he lovingly teased. A bit of laughter broke in the courtroom.(Photo: REUTERS/David McNew)

Randy Phillips - AEG CEO Randy Phillips was on the stand for six days to answer questions about emails that he sent and that were sent to him about MJ's mental and physical state during the tour rehearsals. "I'm not responsible for his medical needs," he ultimately insisted. "We're promoters — that's what we do."AEG and MJ were to co-sign an agreement with Murray for Murray's services, but neither did — the paperwork didn't reach AEG until the day after MJ died.(Photo: Paul Buck-Pool/Getty Images)

Brian Panish - The lawyers for Katherine Jackson (lead lawyer Brian Panish is pictured above) argued that AEG maintained a "show must go on" mentality and ignored the signs that Murray was in financial trouble and would act irrationally to get his $150,000/month fee that he was promised. They said the company's negligence made them liable for anywhere from $900 million to $1.6 billion worth of economic damages and $290 million in personal suffering. AEG lawyers maintained that the singer was also in financial disarray and would have had to pay the majority of his tour money to take care of a $400 million debt. They said, if anything, Jackson's children and mother would have only received $21 million from the singer.(Photo: AP Photo/Los Angeles Times, Al Seib, POOL)

Paris Jackson - Whichever way the trial would end, however, there was no doubt that it was emotional from the start, and all of the information that has been brought to light during it — the tender moments between MJ and his family shared via home movies and the alleged depth of his drug use and financial debt, included — made it all the more difficult. Paris Jackson, MJ's only daughter (his "princess"), was especially distraught. In June, she was hospitalized following a suicide attempt. By August, thankfully, Katherine Jackson told the NY Daily News that Paris is now "in a good place, getting the help she needs." Hopefully Katherine Jackson, too, feels like she's in a good placeand can walk away from this verdict with the closure she needed on what really happened to Michael Jackson.(Photo: Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images)
