The late Michael Jackson’s mother has no plans in giving in after losing to AEG Live over the $40 billion wrongful death civil lawsuit for her son’s death in 2009.
Following the October 2 (2013) ruling, Katherine Jackson is now taking the case to an appellate court after filing new court documents in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Nov. 13).
“She isn't throwing in the towel. We can't give up until we gather all the information. Today is another chapter,” states Ms. Jackson’s attorney, Brian Panish.
As previously reported, a jury ruled in favor of concert promoter AEG, insisting the company was not responsible for the King of Pop’s death or at fault for hiring disgraced physician, D r. Conrad Murray.
You may remember when Michael Jackson died in 2009, there was a lot of speculation about what caused his death. Eventually, it was determined that the King of Pop had overdosed on propofol, a powerful anesthetic that he had been using to help him sleep. Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison for administering the drug to Jackson.
But now, Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, is appealing what she believes was a ‘wrongful death ruling’against AEG Live. She believes that the concert promoter should be held responsible for her son’s death because they hired Dr. Murray as his personal physician during the ill-fated ‘This Is It’tour.
Despite losing her initial lawsuit against AEG Live in 2013, Katherine is still fighting for justice and hopes to hold someone else accountable for her son’s untimely demise.
The Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against AEG Live
Let’s talk about the lawsuit against AEG Live for Michael Jackson’s wrongful death, shall we?
The lawsuit was filed by Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson’s mother, and alleged that AEG Live was responsible for her son’s untimely death. The case went to trial in 2013 and resulted in a ruling in favor of AEG Live.
The lawsuit claimed that AEG Live had employed Dr. Conrad Murray, who administered the fatal dose of propofol to Michael Jackson. It also alleged that AEG Live had pressured Murray to ensure that he was able to perform at all costs, despite his declining health.
During the trial, evidence was presented suggesting that AEG Live may have been aware of Michael Jackson’s drug use and health issues but chose to ignore them in order to profit from his comeback tour. However, ultimately the jury found that while AEG Live may have hired Murray, they were not responsible for his actions and therefore could not be held liable for Michael Jackson’s death.
