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.

how can we determine who's at fault here, it could lead 2 both side of the
field, it should lean more 2 d doctors, buyers, clients, online pharmacies,
etc... can't say no 2 anybody dat has mega money, my theories goes 2 show u
popular celebrities always find someway 2 get there legal r illegal drugs from
somebody r some place out their! no matter who u r these days, somebody out
there will get drug overdoses, either u r a celebrity or not, they don't
understand about life in general, if ya'll haven't learned from all the
mistakes people made over d years, n they're still continue 2 die from it,
what's d use 2 try 2 talk them out of it, if these people keep on abusing
themselves over n over again n again! they always want 2 get high, big deal,
dat is a lost/waste of life on dis earth! if people wants 2 live longer n
healthier lifestyle, ya'll need 2 kick ur old bad habits now, b4 it's way 2
late 2 save urself! bad habits need 2 break away: bad nicotine: wear a patch,
have a cure shot behind ur ears, chew gums r quit cold turkey - alcholics: just
drank 1 beer or 1 glass of somethings, cut 2 d chase of going overboard or quit
cold turkey - drug usages: just quit cold turkey, just kick dat 'ol bad habits
outta d doors n live a healthier life, go love ur families 'n friends, go play
sports, go play video games, computer, read a book, get ur mind on d right
track, it continues on n on. PEACE me1014152008ar
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
