The jury considering the involuntary manslaughter case against Michael Jackson's doctor has ended its first day of deliberations without reaching a verdict.
Court officials said the panel met all day behind closed doors and sent no messages to indicate how they are progressing in the case of Dr Conrad Murray.
The seven men and five women are set to resume deliberations on Monday.
Murray faces a possible sentence ranging from probation to four years behind bars and the loss of his medical licence if convicted. He denies the charge.
Media were camped outside the courthouse and in the courtroom where the jury's decision will eventually be read. There was no sign of Murray or lawyers handling the case, but they will receive a two-hour notice when a verdict is reached.
Murray waived the need for his presence if the panel asks any questions, but must be present when a verdict is reached.
Jackson died from a fatal dose of the anaesthetic propofol; Murray has acknowledged giving Jackson propofol to help him sleep.
