At a pre-trial hearing, Judge Michael Pastor gave prosecutors the green light to show the "tragic" images to the jury, reports BBC News.
Prosecutors claim the pictures - which show the singer laid out on an operating table wearing a hospital gown - prove the late King of Pop was healthy before he passed away in June 2009.
Defence lawyers working for Dr Murray, who has pleaded guilty to the involuntary manslaughter charge, had objected to the use of the pictures, claiming they would enflame the passions of the jurors.
Speaking about the photos, Deputy District Attorney David Walgren said: "Although they are tragic, they are not gruesome or gory."
Judge Pastor has already refused to grant access to Jackson's financial records at a pre-trial hearing.
Dr Murray's defence lawyers were planning to use the documents to prove that the singer's anguish over his finances led him to taking "desperate measures" that led to his death.
6 sentences that smell more terrible than a dead fish from last week. Must be a rat then.
Or lizard sushi from a garbage bin. :lol:
I never heard of dead cadavers wearing a hospital gown for autopsy.
A gown? I try to imagine this. Really. Hard. I can't. :lol: :lol: :lol:
The gown was mentioned in April already.

Still I'd say:
QuoteMichael Joseph Jackson was found dead in his bedroom on 25th June 2009 at his rented Holmby Hills Mansion, he was also found dead in his doctors bedroom as well as alive with a slight pulse in a guest bedroom.
He had died 3 hours before the ambulance was called from an overdose of Demerol administered to himself by himself, while listening to the Gipsy Kings, he also died 1 hour before the ambulance was called by a lethal injection of Propofol administered by his Cardiologist who thought it would be a great idea to administer CPR on a bed for an hour. After this Michael was rushed to hospital in an ambulance doing 5 miles an hour where his body finally died after being dead.
Let's rewind a tad. It is now at this point that I learn that Mr Jackson was in fact a junkie hopped up on enough meds to kill a whorde of wild wilderbeeste. He of course passed his medical with flying colours and went on to practice for his upcoming shows that he both dreaded and looked forward to. His dancing was energetic and not dissimilar to that of a 20 year old with back problems, a hernia and an aging disease similar to Benjamin Button.
He was in high spirits and excited about the upcoming tour. He was also angry about it and cried himself to sleep.
Since his death, Michael has been cremated, he has also been buried at forest lawn and neverland, put on ice, dug up again and was awaiting to be buried on his birthday as a sort of loving present from his father.
Now he's wearing a gown on an operation table.
Most likely while laughing his socks off...
