Michael Jackson Tries to Shirk Testifying
Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, a son of the king of Bahrain, has filed a lawsuit saying Michael Jackson owes him $7 million dollars for backing out of a deal for an album, an autobiography, and a stage play. Jackson was supposed to appear in London this week to testify, but his lawyer claims that he is too ill.

Robert Englehart would like Jackson to testify by video link, stating that “It would be unwise for him to travel, given what he’s got now.” What? Has his nose completely fallen off his face now? Englehart declined to go into detail “for obvious reasons.” He did say that Jackson is innocent of the charges and that the $7 million advance was a gift.
Al Khalifa’s attorney says the evidence of illness presented is “very unsatisfactory.” Nigel Sweeney, the judge in the case, said he would make a decision of whether Jackson could appear via video after consulting with medical experts for both legal teams.
