It involved hundreds of millions of dollars in damages: In case of the death of Michael Jackson, the jury rejected the claim of the bereaved. The Concert Agency AEG therefore carries no blame for the death of the King of Pop.
The twelve jurors had discussed for days – on Wednesday then the verdict: The jury has the concert promoter AEG Live acquitted of the charge of being complicit in the death of Michael Jackson. The company must therefore pay compensation to Jackson’s no survivors.
The process had begun in late April in Los Angeles. The lawsuit against AEG led the three Jackson children Prince, Paris and Blanket, as well as Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine. Before you throw AEG to have the health and safety of the singer neglected from greed and sought damages in the millions.
AEG, the company had organized, planned for the summer of 2009, Jackson’s comeback tour. The family of the pop star arose in its application serious allegations against the company. The singer was physically exhausted from his last rehearsals. The organizer was aware of the fragile state of the stars, but did not spare him. Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, had been pressured his patients to make them fit at any price.
Michael Jackson was on 25 Died in June 2009 at the age of 50 years at his estate in Los Angeles from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, which had given him his personal physician Murray. The pop star was preparing at this time for his comeback before and suffered from chronic insomnia. Murray was convicted of manslaughter in the fall of 2011 to the maximum sentence of four years in prison.
Great deal of attention during the process, especially the statement made by Michael Jackson’s eldest son Prince. The 16-year-old said his father had before the planned “This Is It” comeback tour fear – as well as the promoters of the concerts. “Sometimes he has cried He has said. ‘They will kill me, they will kill me.'” On the question of who she meant, his father had answered. “People of AEG, Randy Phillips”
But the jury did not follow this reasoning. Although they were convinced that AEG hired Murray was the doctor for Jackson. The physician should, however, always been able to perform its functions properly. Therefore, AEG was not to blame.
