Michael Jackson’s mother can go forward with her civil lawsuit against entertainment giant AEG Live involving the death of the pop superstar, a judge ruled Wednesday.
City News Service reported that Superior Court Judge Yvette M. Palazuelos turned down a motion by AEG Live to dismiss the case that claims the company is responsible for medical decisions made by Dr. Conrad Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s death.
The lawsuit filed Sept. 15 on behalf of Katherine Jackson and the pop star’s three children suggests Jackson was forced to maintain a grueling rehearsal schedule for his planned “This Is It” concerts in London, and was showing signs of physical stress in the months before his June 25, 2009 death.
She gave the plaintiffs’ lawyers 20 days to amend their complaint and set a case management conference for March 22.
