Brian Panish, attorney for the Michael Jackson family, delivers his closing argument in Los Angeles, California.
Michael Jackson's final concert promoter, AEG Live,
won't have to pay as much as $1.5 billion to the late superstar's mother
and children,
a Los Angeles jury ruled Wednesday.
The jury found the promoter not liable in the wrongful-death case after
a trial that lasted more than five months and made public many
disturbing facts about Jackson – from his alleged desperation to obtain
powerful sleep medication to AEG's chief executive officer slapping the
"despondent" star on his rear-end to psych him up.
