I know this is an old thread, but a working snip was never posted, so here you go!

TurnOffLayer.py

import arcpy

fileName=arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
lyr=arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, fileName)

if lyr:
    if lyr[0].visible==True: 
         lyr[0].visible=False
         arcpy.RefreshActiveView()

sys.argv[2]=True
arcpy.SetParameter(1,"True")
