Michael Jackson's mother has lost her bid for a new
trial in a negligence case against promoters at AEG Live
after a judge officially rejected her request to proceed
further in her legal battle.
wrongful death conviction against the company bosses,
claiming they negligently hired the doctor convicted of
administering a lethal dose of an anaesthetic to her
superstar son in 2009.
In October (13), a jury rejected Jackson's lawsuit, but
her lawyers returned to court on 3 January (14), arguing
that the verdict form didn't allow jurors to fully consider
evidence in the case against AEG Live bosses.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos did
not immediately finalise her ruling, but she made it clear
she was against a new trial. She made her verdict
official on Monday (13Jan14), stating that she felt
jurors in the case were in fact given proper instructions
and there were no errors that would warrant a retrial.
As a result of the setback, Jackson has opted to file
documents with the California Court of Appeals.
AEG Live executives denied any wrongdoing throughout
the 2013 trial and insisted there was no way they could
have known that Conrad Murray was giving Jackson
propofol in the bedroom of his rented mansion.
Murray spent almost two years behind bars after he
was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. He was
released in October (13).
They should let it go already!
