A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday ruled that lawyers for the Jackson's have shown enough evidence for their wrongful-death suit against the promoter to proceed to a jury trial next month.
The decision came after the Jackson team presented an alleged email demonstrating that AEG had supervised Michael's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is currently serving a four-year prison sentence after administering a fatal dose of the hospital anesthetic propofol and sedatives to the singer.
The family claims the intense pressure AEG put on Murray to have Jackson ready to perform at rehearsals for his 2009 This Is It concert comeback at London's O2 arena despite his exhausted condition is what ultimately killed him."Now that the court has ruled that there is evidence that it was forseeable that AEG's actions resulted in Michael Jackson's death, the Jackson family feels vindicated from the public smear campaign that AEG has waged against them," Jackson attorney Kevin Boyle told CNN. "The truth about what happened to Michael, which AEG has tried to keep hidden from the public since the day Michael died, is finally emerging. We look forward to the trial where the rest of the story will come to light."
