Jury selection
began on Tuesday for a long-awaited trial in which Michael Jackson's mother is
seeking billions of dollars from tour promoters she blames for her son's 2009
death.
Katherine
Jackson, 82, accuses AEG Live of negligently hiring doctor Conrad Murray to
look after her son as he rehearsed in Los Angeles for a doomed series of London
shows.
Murray, jailed
after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 for giving the singer
an overdose of the drug Propofol, could be called to testify, although he may
refuse to do so.
