Only days after one of the most captivating criminal trials in decades comes to a close, MSNBC will broadcast the U.S. premiere of "Michael Jackson and The Doctor," the untold inside story of the Dr. Conrad Murray trial.

In "Michael Jackson and the Doctor," Dr. Murray, who chose not to take the stand during the trial, breaks his silence to reveal personal details of his relationship with Michael Jackson, Murray's role within the star's family life, the intense pressures that Jackson felt leading up to his tour and the events of the fateful day that led to Jackson's death on June 25, 2009.
