How is it the promoter's fault that Jackson chose a lousy doctor? This is just another scam by blacks to get money they are not entitled to. I doubt if they get a penny since jackson was washed up as an entertainer when he died.
New Michael Jackson trial pits family against concert organiser AEG Live | Music | guardian.co.uk

The life and death of Michael Jackson will be played out once again in a Los Angeles court on Monday as a jury hears opening statements in the wrongful death suit brought by Jackson's family against concert organiser AEG Live.
The $40bn civil trial is expected to last three months. Singers Prince and Diana Ross, producer Quincy Jones and fitness guru and actor Lou Ferrigno are among the potential witnesses. The singer's ex-wives, Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe and two of his children, Prince, 16 and Paris, 15, are also expected to testify.
The lawsuit, brought by Jackson's 82-year-old mother Katherine on behalf of the singer's three children, accuses privately-held AEG Live of negligence in hiring Dr Conrad Murray as Jackson's personal physician.
In 2011, Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and given a four-year prison sentence for administering the powerful anesthetic propofol to Jackson as a sleep aid.
The suit pitches the Jacksons against the second-largest concert promoter in the world, one owned by Christian billionaire and arch conservative Philip Anschutz. Jackson's lawyers have clashed with AEG as they have attempted to depose Anschutz
