Katherine Jackson says the AEG is partly responsible for Jackson's death...

Michael Jackson's mother sues concert promoter AEG; company says lawsuit is 'meritless'. Michael Jackson's mother and entertainment giant AEG are clashing publicly over her lawsuit that claims the promoters failed to provide her son's doctor with lifesaving equipment before the performer's planned comeback tour. In her lawsuit, Katherine Jackson says the AEG is partly responsible for Jackson's death because he was preparing for the firm's comeback tour and should provide compensation to his family.

Dr. Conrad Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the pop star's June 2009 death, was hired to be paid by AEG as Jackson's personal caregiver during his concert preparation.  Jackson was said to have had specially requested the hiring of Conrad, who was to be paid along with other expenses AEG Live had taken on for the pop star before his planned concert tour.

 

Murray had agreed to be paid $150,000 a month, and even shuttered his Las Vegas practice as he tended to Jackson. He is accused of giving the singer a lethal amount of propofol, a powerful anesthetic drug used in operating rooms, as well as other heavy sedatives. Murray told investigators that Jackson was a chronic insomniac who had depended for years on propofol to sleep, according to police affidavits filed in court.

But in a statement, AEG called the suit "unsubstantiated and meritless."Dr. Murray was Jackson's longtime personal physician. AEG did not choose him, hire him or supervise him.  That said, and in honor of our professional relationship with Mr. Jackson and his Estate, we will have no further public statements," the statement said.
