A juror in the Michael Jackson manslaughter trial has opened the lid on the case, saying there were contentious moments as the jury deliberated.

Conrad Murray was convicted earlier this week of involuntary manslaughter for supplying Jackson with the powerful anaesthetic propofol.

Debbie Franklin says initially not all the jurors were convinced Murray was solely responsonsible for Jackson's death, but after thinking over it last weekend, the 12 member panel reached a unanimous verdict.

Murray will be sentenced on November 29.
