The Jackson Family Lose AEG Court Case

BBC: A jury has found Michael Jackson’s concert promoters, AEG Live, not guilty of negligence in hiring the doctor who killed him.

The Jackson family had been seeking $290m (£180m) for emotional losses, plus an unspecified amount for economic losses – a sum AEG called “absurd”.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the way the jury came out. They got it exactly right,” AEG Live lead defence lawyer Marvin S Putnam said after the verdict was read out.
