Conrad Murray ‘to call MJ’s kids as defense witnesses’

LONDON - Michael Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray is apparently planning to call the late singer’s kids as defense witnesses over their father’s death.

The doctor, who faces manslaughter charges over Jacko’s death in June 2009, believes Prince, 13, and Paris, 12, will reveal their father had long-standing addictions and had been ill for months.

“If they back him it will work well in the eyes of a jury,” News of the World quoted a source as saying.

Michael’s mum Katherine Jackson recently claimed that her son believed that people in his life “wanted him dead”.

In a newly recorded interview for an upcoming series of films on the popstar’s life, Katherine asserted that her son told her “several times” that his life was in danger. (ANI)
