MJ's doc deals hammer blow to family's 640 million pounds AEG claim

Dr. Conrad Murray who is being tried for "involuntary manslaughter" of pop singer Michael Jackson has reportedly dealt a hammer blow to the Jackson family's 640 million pounds claim against concert promoter AEG.

Murray has revealed that he was hired by the King of Pop, and not the concert promoter firm, hence they cannot be held responsible for MJ's death, while the singer's family claims that the promoters controlled Murray so must accept responsibility for the singer's death from anesthetics given by the doctor, the Daily Star reported.

Murray, who is serving four years for manslaughter following the star's death from a Propofol overdose in 2009, shot down the family's claim that AEG knew about the star's addiction to Propofol anesthetic admitting that "AEG was not aware of my medical treatment of MJ" asking for the concert promoter company to be absolved of the accusation.
