Joe Jackson has been trying to get a piece of Michael’s money ever since he passed away so he launched a legal battle against his son’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray in August, 2010, accusing him of administering a fatal dose of anaesthetic Propofol, which led to Michael’s death in June, 2009.
The lawsuit, which Joe filed on behalf of his wife Katherine and their family, was later amended to include concert organizers at AEG Live and bosses at Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas, a company which allegedly supplied Murray with Propofol, as defendants.
TMZ reports Joe’s entire case has now been thrown out due to a technicality. U.S law states that two cases with identical allegations can’t stand up in court, and, as family matriarch Katherine Jackson lodged her own wrongful death lawsuit two months before her husband, Joe’s has been dismissed. He was seeking damages of between $10 million and $500 million for emotional distress, loss of support and loss of companionship.
Murray is currently serving a four-year sentence for involuntary manslaughter.
