Judge Schedules Katherine Jackson’s AEG Lawsuit for September 2012
One of the civil cases relating to the death of Michael Jackson will not be heard in court until September 2012, the judge overseeing the case decided yesterday. By that time the much delayed criminal case against Doctor Conrad Murray should have reached its conclusion, which could have an impact on this civil suit.
Katherine Jackson is suing live music giant AEG Live – promoters of the Michael Jackson ‘This Is It’ residency at the O2 arena in London – because they paid the fees of Murray, the medic accused of causing MJ’s death by negligently administering the drug propofol.
Mrs Jackson says that as Murray was hired by AEG to be Michael’s personal medic while he worked on ‘This Is It’ they should be held responsible for his death. There were also allegations that Murray had been told by AEG bosses to do “whatever it takes” to ensure MJ was able to attend rehearsals for his London show, the implication being that meant administrating unnecessary amounts of medication.
AEG Live’s attorney Marvin Putnam played down the significance of the criminal trial on this civil case. While, obviously, an acquittal of Murray would be helpful to AEG, Putnam would argue that the company’s legal arguments in the civil proceedings – that Murray was chosen by and reported to Michael Jackson directly, that AEG just picked up the bills, and therefore wasn’t responsible for his actions – are strong whatever happens in the Conrad Murray trial this Autumn.
