AEG Live did not contribute to Michael Jackson's death.
So determined the six-man, six-woman jury who ruled in favor of the concert promoter today.
Katherine Jackson had alleged that AEG Live contributed to her son's 2009 death by hiring Dr. Conrad Murray to oversee his medical care without properly vetting the doctor or paying concern to signs that her 50-year-old son's health was in decline.
Katherine was present for the reading of the verdict. The jury started deliberations on Thursday after nearly five months of testimony from dozens of witnesses, including Jackson's mother; his son Prince; daughter Paris (via video deposition); and ex-wife Deborah Rowe.
On Friday, the jurors requested a copy of the contract that AEG gave Murray (which, when Jackson died, had only been signed by Murray so far); a dozen copies of the 2009 documentary This Is It, compiled from interviews footage of the rehearsals for Jackson's ill-fated London engagement; and a DVD player.
