, catherine jackson, joe jackson all these people that so many of us grew up with with the jackson 5o the jury. even if prince might el the eldest boy testifies, you don't think that's going to influence the jury to come to a conviction of this man, the last doctor standing. >> i don't think so. there's no question that michael jackson is loved worldwide. i loved michael jackson. everybody loves his music. everybody also knows because he was so -- such an open book that there was dysfunction in that family. he wasn't speaking to his father for years. he was distant from his mother. he had had falling out with his brothers and sisters. i think with his brothers and sisters and they'll look at them to say, that's nice they're here now. where were they when he was making his cries for help and displaying the need for help from people close to him. they weren't there then. jurors will look at that and it's pretty cool they're here, but it will not influence their decision. >> thanks so much. >> it is a really busy political day. here's what we're watching in the live feed. at 4:15, color

reporter: the family discipline that forged their success left michael with conflicted feelings about joe jacksonlled joseph. michael asks you, would you cry if joseph died? what did michael sail after he asked you that question? >> he said he don't know if he would or he wouldn't. >> reporter: you said you were haunted by the screams of michael the first time he was hit by your father with a switch. >> not so much of petrified but just the excitement of him not understanding what it means. he wanted to show us, i care about you. even if i have to whip your butt, i care about you. i'm going to keep you off those streets. we wouldn't want to be raised any other way. i'll tell you why. because we have so much respect for him, our mother and so much respect for people. it's that people -- they don't understand that it's hard raising nine kids, bringing them from indiana out here and keeping them together. >> michael jackson has died in los angeles this afternoon. >> reporter: for jermaine, there would be more than enough tears ononune 25th, 2009. >> to hear my mother say he's dead, to hear her say t

katherine jackson was very emotional, joe jackson and michael's brothers and sisters. everybody who listened to that, i would challenge anybody whatever you think of michael jackson, when you first hear that tape, that's a lot of empathy when you go through you. because that's clearly a drug addict in a horrible, horrible state. >> i interviewed jermaine jackson, it was one of his fears that michael would be exposed by the prosecution as some kind of addict in all this by the defense. as some kind of -- no, i suppose by the prosecution. i mean, talk me through the defense and prosecution played out today. who had the better day, do you think? >> well, you know, that's tough to say. to be an objective observer, both of them scored points for sure. the prosecution's opening was clean. it was very succinct. and they were very clear on harping on a few points. they painted murray as being greedy, as being ill qualified to serve as michael jackson's doctor, then they really hammered home a couple points which resonated. one, the amount of propofol that they purchased. they u

>> it's interesting that joe jackson's attorney believes there should be other people on trial as wellrmation about his personal life, past legal troubles, and they know he had a serious drug addiction problem -- getting into his lifestyle issues, that kind of thing. a pretty sad portrait. >> it won't be pretty. >> no. other news this morning. investigators are expected to release more details today on the deaths of five people in rural indiana. four of the victims were from one family, a husband, wife and two adult children. the other victim was a neighbor, sister of one victim said the family was involved with drugs. it appears also that the shooter is among the dead. >> tragic story. you can call this one a sign of the times. a study confirms more and more banks are charging customers more and more fees. that means fewer free checking accounts and higher atm fees as we hear from abc's matt gutman the banks say it is the cost of doing business. >> reporter: just having the most basic banking product americans use, a simple checking account, is getting more expensive too. two years ag

there is joe jackson walking out as well. and so has the jury, which is fascinating because a lot of times in cases like this, jurors can drift from side to side and sometimes up and down, nodding off. not the case so far, at least. they have been riveted. >> as have we. ted rowlands thanks so much in los angeles tonight. we appreciate it. >>> using a parliamentary maneuver that takes much longer to explain than it does to watch, the house of representatives today kept the government from shutting down by agreeing to the compromise worked out in the senate. >> without objection, the senate amendments are concurred in and motion to reconsider is laid on the table. >> there you go. crisis averted. >>> in presidential politics, republican newt gingrich today unveiled a new 21st century contract with america. the first one was ten items and fit on two pages in 1994. the new contract is 23 pages and isn't done yet. >> the scale of change i am suggesting is so enormous that i couldn't possibly, as a single leader, show you everythi

heard 4-year-old michael singing "jingle bells," the time that michael confided his feelings about joe jacksoneporter: michael asked you would you cry if joseph died? what did michael say after he asked you that question? he said he didn't know if he would or he wouldn't. >> reporter: there's more -- how michael secretly recordedehis conversations with hollywood greats and now he withdrew from the reach of his family. you say that from, what is it 1984 to 1992 you saw michael maybe three times a year during that period? >> yes. >> reporter: you sent him letters? >> yes. >> reporter: packages he never responded to any of them? >> no. >> reporter: why didn't he want to see you, jermaine? >> it's not that he didn't want to see me. >> reporter: he could have picked you up and seen you any time he wanted. >> no, michael don't call. michael, can you imagine him having a phone? it's like the president having a cell phone. it could have been a lot of influence from outside people saying your family is going to hold you back. >> reporter: still jermaine says their brotherly love never wavered until jun

joe jackson just left for the day.a few minutes ago, saying quote, justice for michael and that's all he said. clearly, we're still in the very early stages. >> you say a long trial. three, four weeks? is that what they're predicting, ted? >> yeah, the judge told jurors to clear their scheduled through october 28th at minimum, so another month to go here at minim minimum. >> thanks very much. let's dig deeper with our chief medical correspondent, dr. gupta. get a chance to speak with some of the defense attorneys. what's their basic message? >> the sources from the defense team i talked to, they sort of paint this elaborate picture of what they're going -- you're going to hear more about this, but they say the day of michael jackson's death, they say conrad murray was there. they say he didn't give propofol then waited about ten minutes, at least ten minutes, before he walked out of the room. what they say happened next is you know, i think pretty remarkable. they say michael jackson was essentially fainting sleep. pla

family of michael jackson came here for this court hearing as well, i mentioned janet jackson, joe jacksonchael's mother and father, jermaine, tito in the courtroom. we did not see michael jackson's children, we didn't see them go in. as part of that prosecution opening statement, megyn, they also claimed that michael jackson was medically abandoned by conrad murray, they say there was gross negligence in the standard of care administered by dr. murray, and they say there were no medical records whatsoever at all for any of the care being administered. that's claimed by the prosecution. they say it was an employer/employee relationship which is not standard and that dr. murray was being paid $155,000 a month. megyn? megyn: wow. that's a big number. and you heard the defense saying he wasn't motivated by greed, and they're going to get into that with the jury. adam houseley, great reporting. thank you very much. >>> well, your health care records are about to go online thanks to the president's new health care law, and getz who now wants to manage all of your private data. big brother. is t

i was right behind katherine jackson and joe jackson and latoya next to her and the family, on and on. they just started passing the tissue down and you could see them crying and they had to listen to it twice. because the first time the audio wasn't up in the courtroom and then the second time, they played it, but you still couldn't understand what he was saying. we did. >>> see the words up in the courtroom. people were saying, was that michael jackson? this has nulothing to do with conrad murray's guilt or innocen innocence. innocent until proven guilty. you are a mom, i have a mom, imagine listening to that, your loved one in that state and then, you know, finally the picture. they saw that, as well. it was heart wrenching. >> don, is there any, any speculation to why conrad murray would even record this in the first place? >> no one knows. that's what people in the courtroom and outside were wondering. why would he, why would he record that? what were the purposes behind that? kenny ortega who was a producer for "this is it" said on the stand, he didn't understand why. but to his

joe. we did see catherine jackson leave for the day, presumably. she's been the mainstay, the one family member who's been here from beginning to end, but she did leave. we know she is taking the children out of los angeles, out of the united states for a couple of weeks, going to europe in preparation for the michael jackson tribute concert scheduled in wales. joe? >> ted rollins in los angeles tonight. let's talk more about today's testimony with sanjay gupta and sanjay, as you listen to all of this, does this sound like a doctor attempting perhaps to cover his tracks or something else at work here? >> well, it's hard to say. we focused really listening closely to the whole description of the cpr, where this is a cardiologist by all accounts who was essentially performing cpr with one arm at times, one hand and on a soft bed. this sort of violates some of the most basic rules, basic things you're thought. it's not just doctors, nurse, all sorts of people learn this. whether it was someone who just panicked or whether it was somebody who already t

the go in, members of the media have a number of seats, and i sat right behind katherine jackson, joe jacksonily just sort of looked at each other and started passing tissues down the row to each other and to their mom. everyone was looking at katherine. and katherine seemed to look back saying, i'm okay, but they were all crying and the lights were down so that you could see the videotape. quite honestly, almost like being in church. you're not supposed to have contact with the family. even though they were turns around and talking to me, because i've interviewed them before, i just wanted to reach out and hug them and say, you know what? i'm sorry you're having to deal with that. i can only imagine my mom and my family. it's a human emotion. nothing to say about the innocence or guilt of conrad murray, just as a human being, you just want to comfort those people and you can't believe. my gosh, i can't believe you have to sit through that. final thing, this family is banded together, taking care of each other and taking care of katherine jackson, and she is a strong lady. >> i want to ask yo

the time that michael confided his feelings about joe jackson, the father they called joseph.he would or wouldn't. you said you were haunted by the screams of michael, the first time he was hit by your father with a switch. >> not just petrified. but the excitement of him understanding what it means. he wanted to show us i care about you, even if i have to whip your butts. i care you about you. i'm going to keep you off the streets. >> reporter: there's more. how michael secretly recorded his conversations with hollywood greats. and how he withdrew from the reach of his family. you say from 1984 to 1992 you saw michael maybe three times a year during that period? >> yes. >> reporter: you sent him letters. >> yes. >> reporter: packages. but he never responded to any of them. >> no. >> reporter: why didn't he want to see you? >> it's not that he didn't want . >> reporter: he could have picked up the phone and spoke to you anytime he wanted. >> michael doesn't call. can you imagine him having a phone? it's like the president having a cell phone. it could have been a lot of influe

and jackson's mother catherine and father joe were escorted by deputies in the courthouse along with brothers jemane and tito. moments later they filed past the throng of cameras and reporters. >> i always have been here for them. >> lori was wearing an arm band in honor of jackson. >> i think a lot of people advantage of michael. >> she was one of many who felt dr. conrad murray is criminally responsible for the death. >> these celebrities and people who are using this get nervous. the jig is up. >> it is a safety conduct. barry freeburg said no question that murray is responsible for jackson's death. >> conrad murray let a sleepp deprived jackson met rom of propofol. >> murray did have several supporter courthouse today. >> he's one of the pillars of our family and a gentle and loving man. >> he is a family friend of dr. murray. >> he's saved many lives and a friend of michael there. is nothing to be said other than he is a gentle and loving man. >> this is expectsed to be a 5 week trial and fans say they plan to be there every single day. >> reporting from los angeles. abc sevenne
