Lawyers for the Jackson family will call Prince Jackson, 16, to the stand four years and one day after the King of Pop died from a drug overdose, lawyer Perry Sanders said.Prince was 12 when Jackson died from an overdose of surgical anesthetic propofol while the singer rehearsed in Los Angeles for a series of comeback concerts in London in 2009.
AEG Live executives, Jackson’s personal chef and the choreographer for his aborted “This Is It” concert series, are among those who have testified at the trial, which began in April.
Witnesses have painted a picture of the singer’s final months. They testified Jackson, 50, had grown so weak he had difficulty executing dance moves and remembering song lyrics.
The “Thriller” singer’s mother, Katherine, is suing privately held AEG Live, which was promoting Jackson’s “This Is It” concerts, for negligence in hiring Dr. Conrad Murray as his personal physician.
