Just proves they should have gone after Murray instead - then again he doesn't have any money!
Apologies if I've missed it somewhere, but what is the next step in this case and do we know when?
But going after Murray would have prevented him from earning any money.
Just like the Goldmans did with OJ, the Jackson's could have been in line to take any money Murray is now free to earn. Well free to earn, once he is released from jail.
The Goldmans made OJ's life miserable. They were relentless. They never gave up. They became OJ's shadow. If it looked like OJ was about to make some money, aside from his football pension, they were right there to collect it. I don't think they ever got any real big money out of OJ, but that wasn't the point. The point was to make his life a living hell, and in that they succeeded. I applaud them, because over all of those years, they NEVER gave up.
Next to the Goldmans, the "mighty" Jackson family looks like a bunch of cartoon characters, in my opinion.
The Goldmans were relentless and protected their family member in death. Michael's family won't do that for him.
Ah, I see, thank Ivy. It's funny because the employment issue was the first thing I thought would be thrown out because of lack of signed contract.

Jackson kids' lawsuit in dad's death cleared for trial
Los Angeles (CNN) -- The lawsuit filed by Michael Jackson's three children and mother that accuses a concert promoter of contributing to the pop icon's death can go to trial, a Los Angeles judge tentatively ruled Monday.The trial for the wrongful death lawsuit against AEG Live, filed by Jackson matriarch Katherine Jackson and his children, Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson, is set for April. A final order on Monday's decision has not been issued yet.The judge has ordered Dr. Conrad Murray, who the suit contends was hired and supervised by AEG Live executives, to meet with Jackson lawyers next month for a deposition. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's 2009 death.The judge's decision would allow the suit to move ahead on the contention that AEG Live was negligent in hiring Murray.Murray was working as Jackson's full-time personal physician as the star prepared for his 2009 comeback concerts promoted by AEG Live.Murray lawyer Valerie Wass said she would advise Murray to invoke his Fifth Amendment right to not answer questions."But Dr. Murray has a mind of his own," Wass said. "If he decided to answer a question, those parties don't know what he's going to say."Murray's video-recorded deposition is set to take place on March 18 in the Los Angeles County Jail where he has been serving a four-year prison sentence since November 2011. He could be released on parole later this year.
Murray has never been questioned under oath about Jackson's death. He did not testify at his own trial that ended with his conviction in November 2011.
The problem is that MJ had developed an unprecedented dependency to Propofol long before AEG even came into the picture. I mean Murray was pumping him with Propofol for months. and even before that he had a history of using it in previous tours. so, his dependency on the drug was quite severe to the extend that it was only a matter of time before the worse happened, and sadly so. so, AEG lawyer is not entirely wrong to say that "sadly he would die anyway". I actually think the statement is appropriate, unfortunately so, based on all the accounts and evidences that are publicly available so far.

If Murray had known what to do, had proper equipment, and actually monitored his patient, MJ would not have died. That's why he was found guilty.

Putnam argued that by the time it was negotiating Murray's contract to treat Jackson while performing a series of London concerts, the doctor had already been treating the singer for some time, had relocated from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and had ordered large amounts of propofol to help Jackson sleep.
"Sadly, it appears that Michael Jackson's death would have occurred anyway," Putnam said after the hearing.
MJJC: Does it surprise you MJ didn't die sooner than June 25th after finding out Murray was given MJ Propofol without proper equipment for 2 months (according to Murray) prior to MJs death?
Dr. Steve Shafer: Yes. I think that is quite surprising. We don’t know if there were prior close calls, because there are no records.
ivy;3783249 said:While we are waiting for the final order on motion for summary judgment , I give you AEG's redacted reply to Katherine Jackson's opposition to the motion for summary judgment. We didn't see what Katherine's lawyers have filed but AEG's reply can give us an idea about Katherine's claims.
i thought the same thing too. But because this is such a high profile case, i think the judge doesn't want to take the whole case away from KJ. I cant see how the Jacksons will win this one
ETA This is an afterthought, anyone else put off by how biased & unreliable Alan Duke from CNN is? This is what he wrote:
Compare his report to AP's and 360's. He always put emphasis on the children (when we all know the children probably had little to no say on whether this lawsuit was filed or not). He is in bed with Jacksons.
Thanks for the rundown bubs and ivy. so the family are trying to use the 93 addiction against murray and AEG. How ridiculous . But hey if throwing mj under a bus helps so be it

Geez, what did the jackson side decide to file - all their exciting conspiracy stories of missing tapes, carolwood = piccadilly circus with a cast of characters wandering round on 25 june, the battles over mj's beatles catalogue by the powers that be. It's what we expect from the jacksons but what are these highly expensive lawyers doing by bringing this case with no reasonable evidence.Instead, they seek to distract the court with nearly 1300 pages of supposed evidence (most wholly inadmissible) that is wholly irrelevant to the instant motion (admissible or not).”
I'm surprised that all other doctors between 93 to 2009 managed to keep Michael alive, despite him being full blow drug addict (not my words, thank you's to the Jacksons) but then comes CM and he kills Michael. According to Jackson's claim, AEG should have known CM pose a risk!
Bonkers if you ask me:doh:
So judge only allowed a negligent hiring claim go ahead of all 6 claims.
Do you know any reason why documents from Katherine side is not made available?
Although,it not that important as you can read a lot from AEG's docs, but it would be nice to read them, if nothing else, then for comedy reasons.
