he caused the death of michael jackson. the question is, was aeg, the concert promoter, also negligent and they can't just hide behind conrad murray. i think there's an e-mail trail where they're taking responsibility for hiring him. they're instructing him what to do, reminding him that they pay him his money. i think they'll have a tough time. i think katherine and the kids have a strong case. >> let's listen to another clip. this is where he talks about propofol which is of course the killer drug. >> yes, indeed, i did order propofol to his home, but i was not the one that brought propofol into his home. i met him at his own stash. i did not agree with michael, but michael found it was not an issue because he had been exposed to it for years and he knew exactly how things worked. and given the situation at the time, it was my approach to try to get him off of it. i never knew he was an addict. he was going to dr. kline's office and being loaded up with humongous, you know, levels of demerol. basically, this was causing h

michael jackson brought dr. murray to the table. we never paid him a dime. and most importantly, they can point to what dr. murray said himself to detectives. he said, it was my understanding that although aeg paid for me, paid my check, was going to cut my check, i worked for michael jackson. that came from dr. murray himself. i think that -- >> right. >> when you look at it altogether they have a strong case defending itself. >> mark, sunny makes the case how to explain the e-mail away. that's why she's a good lawyer. can they explain it away this they'll point to the interview dr. murray gave police telling detectives, i'm michael jackson's employee, not aeg live. that's my understanding. >> to which brian pannish the lawyer for the family is going to say, yeah, of course that's what he said because he was talking to the cops. he ended up getting convicted. the fascinating thing about this case is that the prosecution of conrad murray and the conviction i think does nothing but help the family in terms of recovering against aeg. everything he says is now

murray was hired by michael jackson not them. the key piece of evident at a trial, this e-mail sent by an aeg executive when jackson didn't show up for rehearsal. quoting here, we wand to remind murray that it's aeg, not mj paying his salary we want to remind him what is expected of him. aeg says it will present evidence from michael jackson's molestation trial it's relevant because that's when jackson's drug use increased and present evidence of michael jackson's erattic behavior remember when he came to court in the blue pajamas. and one point where he got up on top of a car and began dancing? that's the kind of stuff they plan to show. the lawsuit is seeking a judgment meant to equal the money jackson would have earned through the remainder of his life, it could be billions of dollars. jackson's mom and kids will also testify. the jury selection is probably going to take about two weeks and the judge said today that she will rule on whether cameras will be allowed in court before opening arguments begin. >> megyn: wow, the chi

michael jackson's kids, prince michael, paris, prince michael ii, better known as blanket. at the singer's 2009 funeral. for a lot of us that was the first time we'd seen his kids up close without veils and masks they used to wear all the time. paris told oprah her dad wanted kids to cover their faces in public. in an effort to keep people from recognizing them. but they're not hiding from the public anymore. prince michael, now 16, made his debut as corner on entertainment tonight in februar. before he did his first interrue he gave a shout out to his dad saying, he raises me right. prince michael seems to inherited his dad's work ethic. he wants to producer, director, actor. paris just got an offer from the philadelphia eagles to try out for cheerleader. of course she'll have to wait a couple of years. she's only 14. right now she's cheering for her high school, buckley high in sherman oaks. and then there's blanket who is only 7 when his dad died. now he's 11. but a lot of us remember the first time we saw him when his dad dangled him from a hotel balcony in germany back

that he would care for michael jackson alone, it was only being done because michael jackson asked for it. michael jackson was the only person that could get rid of him at will. >> we me hear for the first time from michael jackson's oldest children. 16-year-old prince michael and 15-year-old paris who are expected to testify about jackson's last days along with his mother. the prosecutors want to call murray as a witness, but he says he would plead the fifth in order. >> his silence may be deafening in the sense that the jury may conclude from his silence that maybe there's something to hide. >> the trial is expected to last at least two months. what's at take for katherine and the king of pop's three children? billions of dollars in lost earnings they argue jackson would have made from the this is it come back tour and other future projects. >>> and conrad murray, he is telling his side of the story in his first ever tv interview from jail. this is an anderson cooper exclusive. this is tomorrow night, 8:00 eastern. you're not going to want to miss that. >>> and the crucifixion of g j

michael jackson hadn't signed it. aeg hadn't signed that contract. and the crux of which is whether dr. conrad murray worked for michael jackson or whether he worked for aeg. he could certainly end up helping both sides of the case. he would probably plead the fifth here. but do you think it's -- what does it say -- what's the significance of that contract? does that contract show that aeg is responsible here for dr. conrad murray's actions? >> the contract is important. if the jury decides or the judge decides ultimately that there was no oral agreement to hire conrad murray by aeg, they're out of the case. so the existence of the contract is important as supporting the jackson theory. but in the end, i think the case is fatally flawed for two reasons. first, you have a situation where you have a sophisticated performer with a lifetime of experience, capability of hiring lawyers, agents to help him in negotiations. and he goes to aeg and says, listen, i want conrad murray, my personal physician, to be available on the tour. this is a condition prece

jackson and relating michael jackson as a child. because michael jackson didn't have a childhood. it was uncomfortable to watch as you were sitting there watching. i don't know how anderson didn't flinch or laugh. my first inclination would be to do so. >> but then you remember what this man is accused of doing to michael jackson. it becomes quite serious. and how could have anybody hired this doctor? >> that's the crux of the case. who hired michael jackson? aeg or michael jackson? that's the skruks for both sides here. and aeg is saying, listen, we are like a credit card, like visa or master card. we were simply fronting the money to conrad murray for michael jackson. michael jackson, conrad murray was michael jackson's physician and we were only paying him up front. the family is saying something opposite and suing for $40 billion. at the top end. $40 billion. of course, they probably won't get that. the interesting thing, the way i got dr. murray to speak to me, i said, listen, you seem like villain to most people. you sat in th
