Michael Jackson Wrongful Death Lawsuit Refiled
9 minutes ago by TMZ Staff  

If at first you don't succeed ... Joe Jackson has refiled the Michael Jackson wrongful death lawsuit
against Dr. Conrad Murray.

A federal judge threw out Joe's claim, ruling the case should have been filed in a California state court.
So Joe's lawyer has now refiled the case in L.A. County Superior Court.

Joe is alleging that Dr. Murray was negligent in administering the Propofol that killed the singer.

Joe is also suing Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, that sold the drug to Murray.

Why would Joe file a bogus lawsuit against a pharmacy? Hmmm...I'm confused. Hopefully someone will see another side to this story.

I'm proud to be a child of God and a member of MJ's Army of L.O.V.E.

APNewsBreak: Jackson wrongful death case refiled
By AP Entertainment Writer Anthony Mccartney, Ap Entertainment Writer – 14 mins ago

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson's father refiled a wrongful death lawsuit Tuesday in state court against the doctor charged in his son's death and added a Las Vegas pharmacy as a defendant.

Joseph Jackson originally filed the suit in federal court, but a judge declined to hear the case and said it should be handled in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The case accuses Dr. Conrad Murray of negligence in administering the anesthetic propofol to Jackson.

It also names Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, which court records show sold the drug to Murray nearly a month before the singer's death in June 2009. Authorities have said the sale was legal.

Authorities blamed propofol for the 50-year-old pop superstar's death. Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

A phone message for a spokeswoman for Murray's attorney, Miranda Sevcik, was not immediately returned. Applied Pharmacy Services declined comment through a receptionist who would not give her name.

Quote from: "Andrea"

I'm going through the lawsuit document and a couple things popped out at me already.  Joe is demanding a jury trial and it says that Dr. Murray was licensed to practice medicine in California...but he's not, right?  I'm under the impression he was only licensed in Texas and Nevada?  If we are to believe anything we read about Dr. Murray that is.  The document also continuously refers to "Michael Joseph Jackson"...

Judge: Dr. Conrad Murray Will Keep California Medical License
Published June 14, 2010

LOS ANGELES –  A doctor charged in Michael Jackson's death will keep his California medical license after a judge ruled Monday he didn't have the authority to revoke it.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor declined a request by California authorities to suspend the ability of Dr. Conrad Murray to practice medicine in the state.

Pastor said there were no circumstances that warranted revisiting the conditions of Murray's bail.

California authorities have sought the suspension since Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter in February.

Murray is accused of giving the pop star a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol last June. He has pleaded not guilty.

Dream job turns to tragedy for Jackson doctor
7/10/2009

LOS ANGELES — Dr. Conrad Murray called it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: He signed on as Michael Jackson's personal physician in May (2009) for a six-figure monthly salary and agreed to accompany him for the entertainer's much-hyped London comeback concerts.

So according to Joe's complaint, Murray had been Michael's doctor for quite some time but Michael was living in California at the Carolwood Drive home since December of 2008 and not Las Vegas. So was Murray with him the entire time? Because Murray was staying with Michael and/or his girlfriend in Santa Monica prior to June 25th but for how long had that been the arrangement? This seems like complete BS to me... :lol:  

Dr. Conrad Murray practices cardiology and internal medicine in Houston, Texas.

A family practitioner would be the one who treated Michael's children for cold and flu symptoms not a cardiologist.

There is no mention of a California medical practice. Murray wasn't hired as Michael's private physician until May 2009 so how could he have been treating Michael regularly for anything if his practice was in Texas, his wife's was in Nevada and Michael was in California.

On page 12 of this document-
http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/1130_jackson.pdf

It says the Coroner's office conducted the autopsy June 26, 2009 and reached conclusions on September 18, 2009, death from acute propofol intoxication...

Does anyone know where this date "September 18, 2009" is coming from ? This was after the "funeral". I thought they had established the "death from propofol" before they had the funeral.  All the news articles I can find about this are from August 28, 2009.  Is this just another Mistake in this Wrongful Death lawsuit?

"Michael Jackson died of 'acute propofol intoxication,' coroner says [Updated]
August 28, 2009 | 11:52 am

The Los Angeles County coroner's office officially ruled the death of Michael Jackson a homicide and said he died of "acute propofol intoxication."

According to a statement from the coroner: The "manner of death has been ruled homicide. Cause of death was established as acute propofol intoxication. Other conditions contributing to death: benzodiazepine. The drugs propofol and lorazepam were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson's death. Other drugs detected were midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine, and ephedrine. The final coroner's report includes a complete toxicology report that will remain on security hold at the request of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County district attorney's office."

Michael Jackson Coroner's Report: Homicide Ruled Manner of Death; Propofol Intoxication Cause of Death
Michael Jackson Final and Full Autopsy Results Announced but Will Not Be Released; Placed on Security Hold

Aug 28, 2009

The official cause of Michael Jackson's death: Acute Propofol Intoxication. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office released the final autopsy report and issued a final determination of manner of
death as homicide in the case of Michael Jackson's death on Friday. The final autopsy report came over two months after the preliminary autopsy report was released the day after Michael Jackson's death on June 25. After a three-hour autopsy, the Coroner's Office refused to report a determination on the cause of death at the time, or whether it was homicide or accidental, noting only that Michael Jackson had died as a result of cardiac arrest. What caused the singer's heart to stop beating was left for later determination, pending results of several postmortem tests ordered, including a battery of toxicology tests. Although it was immediately speculated that Michael Jackson died of a drug overdose, it was not at first clear if drugs had actually been involved in his death or if it was a homicide.

From the Coroner's Office news release on the official autopsy report: "The drugs propofol and lorazepam were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson's death. Other drugs detected were: midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine and ephedrine."

"Other conditions contributing to death: Benzodiazepine effect." Benzodiazepines are used to treat insomnia and anxiety and work by slowing down the workings of the central nervous system. The Benzodiazepine effect occurred with the combination of midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine, and ephedrine.

Michael Jackson's dad files wrongful death suit against son's doctor
http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/11/30/j ... cnn_latest

(CNN) -- An attorney for the father of the late pop star Michael Jackson filed a wrongful death suit Tuesday against Jackson's doctor and his medical clinics, as well as the pharmacy that sold the doctor the drug that killed Jackson.

Attorney Brian Oxman filed the suit in the California Superior Court in Los Angeles County on behalf of Joe Jackson. A similar lawsuit filed against Dr. Conrad Murray in federal court -- which did not include the pharmacy -- was thrown out of court earlier this month.

The suit also alleges negligent hiring, training and supervision and negligence against the clinics and negligence against the pharmacy and Murray. It asks for unspecified damages and court costs.

The suit names Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, and his three children as "nominal plaintiff parties."

Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's June 25, 2009, death, which the Los Angeles County coroner ruled was from an overdose of propofol, a powerful anesthetic used to put surgical patients to sleep.

Murray, hired as Jackson's personal doctor while the singer rehearsed for his comeback concerts, admitted giving him propofol as a sleep aid. But Murray's lawyer said the amount was much smaller than what was found in Jackson's body during the autopsy.

In October, a California appeals court rejected Joe Jackson's challenge of the two men named by the late pop star to run his estate. The court ruled that since Joe Jackson was not named as a beneficiary in his son's will, he has no legal standing to object to John Branca and John McClain as executors.

Jackson accused Branca and McClain of misconduct, including fabricating the will in which Jackson named them as his executors.

Michael Jackson's will places his entire estate in a trust that benefits only his mother, Katherine Jackson, his three children and unnamed charities. Katherine Jackson dropped her probate challenge of the executors last November, just a day after Joe Jackson, her husband of 61 years, filed his challenge.

Katherine Jackson has filed a lawsuit accusing international concert promotion and production company AEG Live of causing her son's death by pushing him to rehearse for his comeback concerts despite poor health. Her suit claimed that the concert production company controlled Jackson's health because it hired and directed Murray.

If Michael knew Murrey since 2008 as his kids doctor, then how the hell Jacksons insist AEG hired Murrey to look after Michael then kill him?
