Michael Jackson family LOSES case against AEG Live over singer's death

Dr Conrad Murray suggests he has been harbouring bombshell ­information regarding the singer’s true relationship with his family

Michael Jackson's family have lost their billion-dollar case against concert promoters AEG Live on a unanimousljury decision.

The singer’s mother, Katherine Jackson, and his three children, sued AEG Live claiming they were responsible for his death.

They said the promoters paired him with Dr Conrad Murray, who provided Jackson with the drug propofol, which led to his 2009 death.

AEG countered that Jackson had been responsible for his own death, and that Murray was retained at Jackson’s request.

The verdict was read today, roughly five months after opening statements in the case filed by Katherine Jackson.

The jury found that AEG had hired Murray, but found that Murray was not incompetent to perform his duties.

Murray, who treated Jackson in the run-up to a string of planned comeback concerts at London’s O2 Arena, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for Jackson’s death in 2011.

Brian Parrish, who represented the Jackson family for the trial, asked jurors to award the family between $1 billion and $2 billion.

Jackson died June 25, 2009 at age 50.
