CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL: Jackson Family Arrives In Court
Posted on Tue Sep 27, 2011 10:45 AM PDT
The Jackson family arrived at the L.A. County Courthouse Monday morning for the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's private physician who is accused of giving the King of Pop a lethal dose of propofol.
Jackson's mother Katherine, father Joe, and siblings Jermaine, Janet, Randy, Tito and LaToya were all in downtown LA to witness opening statements. Janet was not originally expected to attend this morning, but she arrived holding hands with her brother Randy.
The family largely stayed calm and quiet while walking into court. The big theme of the day from both the Jackson family and fans was justice, a word used while talking to the media and screamed from the sidewalk.
There were supporters for Jackson, and more surprisingly for Murray as well, lined up outside the courthouse. Signs from the King of Pop's fans ranged from "Justice is overdue for Michael. Can you feel it?" to "Doctors are supposed to heal not kill." Murray's proponents also held up posters defending the doctor, including "I support Dr. Conrad Murray an innocent man who must be exonerated."
While some fans peacefully sang, one confused Jackson supporter went as far as wearing a shirt with Murray's face and that read "Dr. Murder." He then began drinking what appeared to be Propofol, yelling, "If you do it right, it's fine."
While in court, prosecutors showed the jury a picture of Michael Jackson's dead body, proving that it will be a difficult first day for the family and fans of the late King of Pop.

how did Joe and old lady Jackson go in to court twice
Let's see MJ was a drug addict. I love how they all show up at this trial but not when he's doing all the drugs.
