The Jackson family are said to be unhappy with the situation. Their lawyer Brian Oxman said: “I spoke to Latoya Jackson last night, she wants justice for her brother.”
He added: “She is upset and has been upset about Michael’s death. I spoke to Joseph Jackson last night and again this morning. He wants justice for Michael. They are not angry, they are not vindictive, they are heartbroken. They do not think that the charge of involuntary manslaughter is appropriate. They feel that it is a slap in the face. As to exactly what they would like to see, they would like to see justice.”
