00:14:17 3Q >> I confessed to having a weak spot for michael jackson.
00:14:35 It's based on instinct I have feeling the great entertainer was never the abusive monster so many portrayed.
00:14:43 >> If he is found guilty you will what?
00:14:45 >> I said shave my mustache.
00:14:48 >> He even bet my mustache he wouldn't be convicted the last trumped up charges in 2005.
00:14:54 >> The bigger the star the bigger the target.
00:14:57 >> When he died last june 25th what struck me is how the larger than life character had become.
00:15:05 Remember how many said good-bye and praised michael in death when the same peel wouldn't go near michael because he was considered damaged goods.
00:15:16 Fair weather friends are less offensive than the allegations michael was driven to his death.
00:15:24 With the doctor hired the concert promoter who administered the dose of proep pal hired to keep out of jail the promoter is also to be put under the legal microscope.
00:15:36 Once battered and broke estate about $1 million.
00:15:45 How and why he died.
00:15:53 >> Joining me with what I think is big news on the michael jackson investigation jackson family attorney brian oxman.
00:15:59 Brian tell me about the lawsuit you are preparing against concert promoter aeg.
00:16:06 >> Geraldo I think everybody feels it sense it they smell it.
00:16:10 This doctor murray did not act alone and those are the facts and that's what this lawsuit is going to show there are more people who are responsible for michael jackson's death.
00:16:22 I say it was a big rat's nest and the doctor was a little mouse.
00:16:27 >> In the rat's nest do you allege aeg in some way related medical law in the state of california are you going to bring in action before the california medical board?
00:16:40 >> We are filing an action before the california medical board that his concert promoters were engaged in the unlawful practice of medicine.
00:16:50 Geraldo, I think when everybody sees this they are going to be furious.
00:16:53 >> Are you satisfied with the level of charges against conrad murray being pursued the state of california?
00:17:02 >> I think when you look at the entire picture of all of the people involved the level of charges are not satisfactory no way no how.
00:17:10 I think the other people the bigger people the puppeteers who are pulling the strings have got to bear responsibility.
00:17:19 conrad murray's defense will allege michael jackson dozed hi proep fal.
00:17:34 >> That's owe ridiculous.
00:17:36 Really?
00:17:37 Now michael jackson is a magician and is able to kill himself.
00:17:43 >> Not saying he hung himself in a closet.
00:17:46 Is that so insane?
00:17:48 >> Good luck with that.
00:17:51 >> They are taken up and down they can't get up can't get down.
00:17:56 It's a tragedy.
00:17:57 Make sure we don't pin the tail on the wrong donkey.
00:18:05 >> Joe jackson that exclusive after this.
00:21:21 >> According to various published estimates the estate of michael jackson earned nearly a billion dollars since the king of pop died almost a year ago including cirque du soleil for the programmed live extravaganzas 250 million for sony for continuing rights and music that have not been released like the one I heard him record back in 1995 and millions more in merchandising the beatles song catalog and other sources.
00:21:52 The question whether that money is being used to silence criticism from the jackson clan of promoters and others.
00:21:58 I spoke earlier with michael as dad and joe jackson and joe's orb yacht rode.
00:22:05 >> Do you think the big money coming from michael's estate is buying silence from certain family members?
00:22:17 >>> Oo you have to have the flexibility.
00:22:23 In (indiscernible).
00:22:29 >> Joe, why are they ignoring you?
00:22:31 Why are they concentrating all of their wealth on everyone else.
00:22:35 >> They got their hands in the cookie jar.
00:22:37 >> How do you mean that?
00:22:38 Do you support the lawsuit that brian oxman is about to file against the concert promoter trying to find out where the money is?
00:22:50 >> (Indiscernible).
00:22:58 Got hear hands in the cookie jar.
00:23:01 I support the fine arts because I want justice with michael.
00:23:05 Only way I am going to get it is ) >> are they stealing money?
00:23:17 Are they doing what they did when michael was alive?
00:23:21 >> I tell you what, there is a lot of money.
00:23:29 A whole lot of money.
00:23:31 >> Do you till feel a hurt in your heart that michael is worth more dead than alive?
00:23:38 >> Geraldo let me say something.
00:23:41 He was worth a lot of money alive, but being alive he's the recipient of that money.
00:23:50 Other people are the ones controlling the wealth not his children not his family.
00:23:55 Michael is just as much alive than he was dead.
00:23:58 They would not let him hurt it because alive he was rerecipient of that money.
00:24:04 >> Who is getting the money?
00:24:07 >> The money and wealth is being controlled his estate.
00:24:14 In my opinion it wasn't like he told me.
00:24:18 -- >> let me say something.
00:24:20 >> Go ahead, joe.
00:24:22 >> Michael was worth about $500 million.
00:24:29 Okay?
00:24:30 >> 900 Million.
00:24:31 I agree.
00:24:31 That's what I hear.
00:24:36 >> Are they stealing that money, joe?
00:24:43 >>> Oo kimberly I have heard, my sources tell me that the executors are paying 3 of michael's brothers 10,000 a month to get their cooperation.
00:24:54 Each of the children are getting 20,000 a month to get that cooperation and silence.
00:24:58 >> Sounds like it makes sense.
00:25:01 >> I have not corroborated this.
00:25:06 >> It will not go smoothly if they contest it.
00:25:11 >> 10,000 A month out of 900 million?
00:25:14 That's nothing that's a penny.
00:25:16 >> That's like a pension for them.
00:25:18 They are not doing anything.
00:25:21 But 10,000 if you told me 100,000 a month I would say they could buy their silence.
