Michael's close friend and his ex-wife are
called to the witness stand along with music producer Quincy Jones and director
Spike Lee.
Diana Ross and Lisa Marie Presley are
expected to make appearances in Michael Jackson wrongful death trial that pits
the famous family with giant concert promoter AEG Live. According to ET, Diana
who was a close friend of Michael's and Lisa who was once married to the late
singer are on the witness list.
Producer Quincy Jones who frequently worked
with the King of Pop on his albums including 1987's "Bad", and
filmmaker Spike Lee who helped put together a 2012 documentary film about the
25th anniversary of the monster album are on the witness list as well along
with Katherine Jackson, Paris, Prince and Blanket.
Michael's mother Katherine and his children
filed a lawsuit against AEG Live in September 2010. The family sued the
promoter over the hiring of Dr. Conrad Murray who was convicted of involuntary
manslaughter in the King of Pop's untimely death. They're seeking a reported
$40 billion for loss of future earnings and other damages.
In a pre-trial, judge said the defendants
were allowed to revisit Michael's dark past in the sex abuse case, where MJ was
acquitted on all counts, as it might be relevant to the late singer's history
of drug abuse and despondency. Jury selections started Tuesday, April 2.
