Jurors in the Michael Jackson civil trial decided in favor of concert promoter AEG Live today after four days of deliberation.
Jackson's mother Katherine sued the L.A.-based promoter following the 2009 death of the King of Pop as a result of Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter that included his supervision or lack thereof during a fatal injection of the anesthesia Propofol:
A key topic of debate: Who hired Murray, the singer's personal physician?
AEG Live, which allegedly took on a doc who didn't supervise Jackson's medical needs properly as the star prepared for a multi-million-dollar schedule of "This Is It" shows at London's 02 Arena? Or Jackson, allegedly stuck on drugs, himself?
At about 3:40 p.m. the jury said it was AEG Live that hired Murray, but that he was not unfit as a doctor. Thus it would appear the company was not liable for Murray's actions.
Will there be an appeal? Probably. MORE HERE
