Michael Jackson’s Family Want the Right to Sue Over Death Photos

By FOXNews.com

Michael Jackson’s dad Joe has filed legal documents asking a court to acknowledge that the King of Pop’s family has a right to sue news outlets that published pics of Michael Jackson dead, TMZ reported.

Joe Jackson’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, filed papers with the court in the Michael Jackson estate case, claiming there is legal precedent for a family suing for invasion of privacy when such pics are published.

Although the legal documents don’t say which pics he intends to sue over, “Entertainment Tonight” aired a pic of Jackson – whom paramedics believed was already dead – as he was taken into an ambulance from his home.

Oxman is trying to get the estate court judge to grant him access to medical records as a prelude for filing such a case, TMZ reported.

The entertainment gossip website has also reported that Jackson’s physician will walk into court on Monday to face a judge after being charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of the 50-year-old pop star who died in June, 2009.

TMZ reported that Dr Conrad Murray would show up for the 1.30 p.m. arraignment with a bail bondsman to post bail – expected to be $25,000 – immediately.
