Michael Jackson's family loses case of negligence against concert promoter

The jury in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial has ruled that the concert promoter was not negligent in hiring the doctor who treated the singer.The jury ruled AEG Live did hire Conrad Murray. The jury then ruled Conrad Murray was not unfit or incompetent to treat MJ. Jackson's mother sued concert promoter AEG Live LLC over the hiring of Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for giving Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic propofol in 2009.
Katherine Jackson claimed AEG Live should have done a thorough background check on Murray. The Jackson family matriarch was seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for herself and her son's three children.The company denied hiring Murray and said he had been picked by the singer as the doctor for his upcoming shows. Katherine says she feels vindicated, despite losing her wrongful death lawsuit against concert promoter AEG Live.

She told TMZ;

 ‘We have said from the beginning that this case was a search for the truth.  We found the truth.  AEG hired Dr. Conrad Murray, the man who is in jail for killing Michael Jackson.’

Those people insulting Jim Iyke are demons - Okey Bakassi reacts

Jim Iyke keeps trending and the latest person to voice his opinion is Comedian/Politician Okey Bakassi..Read his thought below;

"Yesterday was The 53rd Anniversary of Nigeria's 'Independence', I refused to comment or send messages for reasons u and I know. If u are reading this message, u are lucky to be alive. Thank God. I'm fed up with all the noise about my Actor colleague who gained Independence from 'demonic influence ' or 'Deliverance' at Synagogue. I respect him for seeking spiritual help when others are shying away from the reality of their situation.

 Even those who are 'Demons' themselves are throwing insults at Jim. Our level of hypocrisy in Nigeria is nauseating. Established 'Sinners' find it convenient to throw stones at those whose stories become public, making it more difficult for people to seek help.
 If you have never presented yourself for 'Deliverance' keep quiet because ur not sure of what forces are speaking through you. Congrats Jim for being 'man enough'......
 Have a blessed day pals.
