Randy Jackson, others to testify about deal

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s brother Randy is expected on the witness stand to testify about why a proposed memorabilia tour may not be the best deal for the King of Pop’s estate.

Randy Jackson, an accountant and a lawyer are among those scheduled to testify Friday in Los Angeles. Another probable witness is concert promoter Leonard Rowe, who has been critical of the company that would oversee the exhibit, AEG Live.

Jackson’s mother, Katherine, has opposed the AEG deal for several reasons.

AEG wants to time the tour to the opening of a film based on footage of Jackson’s final rehearsals that will be released in October.

A judge wants to hear testimony about the proposed deal so that he can decide whether to give it his approval.

I am greatly sadden at the media’s cut-throat efforts
to exploit Michael Jackson’s life, past up until his
untimely death, with no regard to the affects on his
three children. Money? Is it worth it, to continue
devastation to three little people, who are so confused right now? Legacy is initiated by Love and
the positive, to leave something behind that money cannot buy!The greed of the world, to even exploit
him physically, before he was even put in the coffin
(which was delayed due to autopsy).Hollywood and its
coherts,the media,have become so heartless over the decades, so much so, as to thrive off of gossip long
after stars have passed away…Just to make a buck. We are so civilized, perhaps, unlike many other nations& countries, yet have no value for life & talent while they are alive & well. But only after
death comes a little recognition.A country can become a Frankenstein, can it not?I’m sadden at the
emotional health of our stars,yet they spend their lives entertaining us,only to be mocked at their untimely deaths.
Sincerely, A True Voice,
Catherina Gutierrez
