Michael Jackson's death trial takes bizarre twist

A testimony in Michael Jackson wrongful death trial has revealed that the co-author of a study on propofol addiction funded by AEG Live and used in their defence trial lost his medical licence for writing illegal drug prescriptions.

It was revealed that Dr Torin Finver was hired to help with the concert promoter study after he lost his job at a pizza parlor and took a job driving a Goodwill truck, CNN reported.

The revelation was an odd twist in the trial of the billion-dollar lawsuit filed by Jackson’s mother, Katherine, and three children, which is being heard by a Los Angeles jury.
