LOS ANGELES – A judge is scheduled to decide Thursday whether Michael Jackson’s father should receive medical records related to his superstar son’s death.
Joe Jackson’s attorney issued a subpoena last month seeking all his son’s medical records from UCLA Medical Center, where Michael Jackson died on June 25.
His attorney, Brian Oxman, sought the files as part of an effort to obtain a monthly stipend for the Jackson family patriarch. He says his client has a right to know more about his son’s death and the records could also determine whether they pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.
