Defense lawyers claimed Jackson delivered the fatal dose to himself.At her last concert in Australia on Tuesday (November 8) night, before flying to South Africa and hours after Murrays guilty verdict she told the crowd justice had been served.Janet Jackson fans flew from all over the world to get a glimpse of the Rhythm Nation singer.
