Lawyers for Michael Jackson's estate have fired back at Joe Jackson's request for MJ's medical records in order for Joe to sue a news outlet over death photos.



Joe claims a published photo of an already dead Michael Jackson is an invasion of the family's privacy. As we first reported, although Joe didn't name the news outlet, "Entertainment Tonight" aired a photo of Jackson -- whom paramedics believed was already dead -- as he was taken into an ambulance from his home.

Joe's lawyer, Brian Oxman, asked the judge last Friday to dislodge MJ's UCLA medical records so he can prepare the lawsuit.

But in papers filed today, estate lawyer Howard Weitzman claims Oxman is all wet -- that Oxman misstated the law in legal docs and that UCLA medical records are totally irrelevant to a death photo lawsuit.

Weitzman also claims the physician/patient privilege prohibits the estate from anteing up the med records.

  • Why is it that the Estate Exec's have say over who gets to see Michaels records and who doesn't? Why do they have power of medical records? They did this when Katherine was trying to get the AEG contract as well as wanted to sit in a business deals. They seem to be blocking any request any Jackson made.

    I don't trust these guys.
  • Who is managing the estate anyway? I always see Jackson estate this ..Jackson estate that...But who are these people? Who put them in charge. Are they just a bunch of people who look at it strictly juridically or do they have some personal involvement in this all.
  • They are the legal representatives for Michael's will. Michael put them in charge and unfortunately there is nothing that the Jackson family can do. The lawyers names are John MCClain and John Branca.

    John Branca & John Mc Clain. I think the 2002 is fake. Just my opinion.
