Jackson Lawyer -- Katherine Wants Custody

16. I saw the clip of Joe Jackson being interviwed by CNN. He is not at all upset about his son's death and PLUGS in his music company. It is outrageous!!!. Joe is trying to make money of Michael and he has not even been laid to rest yet.

17. Come on, for Jackson's parents it's all about keeping that money rolling in. Next they will pull out that the children need to be raised by them so they will retain thier heritage "african american". Of course MJ was african american but the kids are whiter than rice and blonde. Unless MJ raised them o know they were half african american they are going to be so confused and messed up as to knowing thier race it'll be sad.

And people always wondered why MJ wanted nothing to do with his father...HELLO...MJ isn't even in the ground and they are already working the gravey train for thier own interests and to keep hold of all the oney...god forbid the mother of the children even want to raise them. She had an agreement with MJ that she would give up her rights, a court ruled she could not...so she actually still retianed her rights under the law....the Jackson family can do nothing about that unless she goes to court and signs off on her rights again...my brther did the same thing, signed away his rights TWICE and the judge/court STILL told him he could come back anytime an petition for them back....in this case it is all ALL about the money.

18. I can't believe this doctor is going to get the blame for this lunatic's irresponsibility. What an outrage!

19. Michael's parents are too old to raise these children. They will die before they are grown; face another turmoil in their lives and then live where?....Provide them with a stable life. Can their birth mother do that? Don't know, possibly more stable of a life than the Jackson family.

20. Once again Matt Lauer is full of crap....I saw Joe Jackson on the red carpet talking to CNN last night and I don't know what emotion was clearly on his face....he had money on his mind....and not one iota of sadness over his son's death. Janet, I'm sure is devastated as she loved her brother....but not Joe.

21. That fat white cow wanted nothing to do with those kids. She should keep her mouth shut and enjoy the nice thoroughbred horse breeding ranch she has thanks to MICHEAL JACKSON. If she wants to keep running her mouth she might come up missing.

22. That fat cow wanted nothing to do with those kids. She should just keep her mouth shut and enjoy the thoroughbred horse breeding ranch that she has thanks to MICHAEL JACKSON.

23. Does this latest prick tv lawyer think the public is going to be tricked by his 'clever' lawyer-speak "she won't want to undermine the best interests of the children."

Lawyers think they're so clever and people are so stupid, and they can just put one over on anyone with the flip of a word.

Why is this dude even doing tv rounds? It's unseemly. Does he think he's going to try this is in the media?

The public doesn't like the Jacksons and wants the kids with their bio mom or with a nice family.

24. First off, Michael LOVED Katherine..I think she was a GREAT mother. A black woman in those days with 9 kids didn't have much choice. She probably delt with his craziness just to feed them . However, she is 80 years old. Therefore, I think that Katherine should adopt the kids jointly with Janet or Rebbie. I honestly think that Katherine loves Michael and she really is grieving. On the other hand, I think Joe Jackson is insane and he can't bury his son first without thinking about a buck. If you think that Joe Jackson wants money, what do you think Debbie Rowe wants? She only married MJ and went through all that crap for a buck...she sold him her eggs. She could care less about those kids. I would much rather see his dad get the money versus Debbie. Also, to the person who said they need to be with a white family, that comment was ignorant. What about Madonna and Angelina adopting African kids? Kids need to be ANYWHERE they will receive a decent upbringing and LOVE!!!! I don't think they are biologically related to the kids only because they don't look like Michael or any of the Jacksons, not just because of their skin color and hair...LOOK AT BILLY BLANKS' Daughter. HE WAS FAR DARKER THAN MICHAEL AND HIS DAUGHTER LOOKS AS IF SHE HAS NEVER MET A BLACK PERSON. I think Katherine, Rebbie, and Janet would be the best guardians.

25. By no means should those children be raised by Katherine & Joe. He is'was an abuser. He's not going to change.

26. No no no. How old is this woman? 80? And she is the one who presided over the abusive household and allowed his father to beat Michael and raised her sons that had sex in the same room or same bed that Michael was in when he was a little boy? oh yeah she's a great mother figure!

27. To: Really Post#15
As a Doctor he is responsible...1st as a Doctor he needs to go back to med school and learn how to do CPR, that's what...EMT 101? CPR does not get done on a bed no matter how firm the bed is. 2nd as a Doctor he is responsible for writing prescriptions and if he was doing this left and right and not keeping Micheal in check as any "responsible" Doctor should, then guess what?, he is an ENABLER thus "RESPONSIBLE" in contributing to MJ death and SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ROLE IN MJ's DEATH. Any Doctor who has gone out of their way to write unnecessary prescriptions for anyone who does not rightfully need them, should be held accountable if that person later on has any negative consequence.
As for your stupid comment on MJ being a "lunatic", it's obvious you are not a true a fan. He was larger than life and was definitively MISUNDERSTOOD! He did perhaps suffer from many traumatic situations caused by his father's abusive ways. Issues that were not proper address by a physiologist, maybe because it was too embarrassing for MJ, maybe because this would be looked upon as a weakness, doesn't matter the reason, it wasn't addressed. But MJ WAS NOT A LUNATIC, rather a boy trapped inside a man's body.
We are tired of hearing stupid, negative comments. Let's remember MICHEAL JACKSON for the true revolutionary musician he was. For his contribution not only to music but for the acts of contribution to those all around world so that this crappy world we live in would be a better place.
As for the kids, my heart goes out to them, and seriously the should probably stay with their Nanny whom they have lived with throughout their lives and would be a best option for them. JOE JACKSON WANT A JERK OFF YOU ARE!!!

28. Katherine is in her eighties, how can she raise 3 young children? I am sure she will have help, but c'mon, be real. Debbie Rowe should not ever get custody of children she did not want in the first place. I feel so sorry for the children. When and where will they ever have stability and a normal life? They sure didn't with Michael.

29. Michael was emotionally and spiritually damaged his entire life, by many many people......his body followed, Michael was the gravy train....for all around him, I would like to see how many multi millionnaires he made. The "doctor" a cardiologist, reportedly doing CPR on the bed lol anyone knows you need a hard surface to do CPR least alone a cardiologist, the time delay calling 911 a reported 40 minutes wtf......he needed narcan, atropine but yet lidoacaine was seen on the floor by the paramedics...that alone would render Michaels heart flat line , and this Dr.Conrad Murray had to know Michael was taking pain killers...if not prescribing them and giving them or as reports say Michael would have replaced this Dr. to get what he wanted.............if it looks like a duck quacks like a duck it is This so called DR should be INDICTED
