JACKSON'S FATHER: 'FAMILY WANTS JUSTICE'

MICHAEL JACKSON's estranged father JOE has spoken out for the first time since the pop legend's death was ruled a homicide - insisting the family "wants justice".
The Los Angeles' County Coroner sensationally ruled on Friday (28Aug09) the King of Pop - who died after suffering a cardiac arrest on 25 June (09) - was killed by a cocktail of strong prescription drugs
His death was blamed on the "acute" presence of the anaesthetic Propofol and anti-anxiety drug Lorazepam in his system.
The superstar had also taken Midazolam (Versed), Diazepam (Valium), Lidocaine (topical anaesthetic) and Ephedrine prior to his death.
The ruling could kickstart a manslaughter investigation, with the spotlight on Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray - who is accused of administering Propofol to help the star sleep the night before he died.
However, Joe Jackson has refused to point fingers at Murray or his son's team of doctors, insisting he was unaware of his son's drug use.
Jackson, 80, tells U.S. TV's the Today show on Monday (31Aug09), "I keep thinking, I just cant believe this happened to him... I'm not angry, I'm mad. I'm mad because I didn't know all of this was going on, that's what I'm mad about. I didn't know he was taking that type of medication. They (the family) want justice to be done and that's what is being done. I don't know (if that means criminal charges).
"It's the first time I've ever heard of the drug. That tells me that was foul play, that's what it tells me and (there is) more to be investigated to see what was behind all of this stuff, not just Dr. Conrad Murray. Someone should pay. Not just someone, but all of them should pay that's (sic) involved. I didn't say doctors - everybody else that's involved."
The final coroner's report, including the toxicology results, is likely to remain on security hold pending release by the Los Angeles Police Department. The full autopsy report has not been released.

The parents are all ways the last to know when a child even a grown child is using drugs whether legal or not an its ashame , it appears michael had issues an im sure the pepsi fire started some of it using pain meds for the burn burns really hurt , an even after they are healed that area is now tender an some people are not strong enough to ignore the pain then their was the child molesting cases an that did not help instead of michael seeking the correct help i guess he did not an had all ready been hooked on pain meds from the burns it got worse ,something led up to why he is now ina box instead of being with the living i read where he told lisa marie presley that he,d be dead by age 50 well she should of told some one may be he,d bealive an well today instead of where he is or dr murray saw the drug abuse he should of done something , but it all comes down to who was at fault of michaels death an what led up to all the doctors can take some of the blame they all gave him meds an under different alias , anyone who mis prescribed meds is at fault it started long before dr murray arrived but ended with him, this is ashame a talented man had a real problem an every one gave him what ever he wanted why because he was who he was michael jackson an how these doctors leaped before they looked an its sad because the real victums are michael jackson an his children an his family, its ashame that money played an important role in his death, what some people will do for money is unreal rip mj
