how does la toya know? plus anita hill's been through a memorable hearing for supreme court nominee. what does she think of sonia sotomayor, next on "larry king live." we welcome to "larry king live" caroline graham, the los angeles correspondent, west coast editor for the "london mail" on sunday. she did a lengthy interview with michael jackson's sister, la toya. how did you get it? >> larry, we have a relationship with la toya. spent a lot of time in the uk over the last few years. she knows my newspaper. she trusts us. i think la toya wanted to get the story out there but do it with a paper she trusted and knew would report it accurately. >> larry: where was it conducted? >> we met in the beverly hills hotel near her home. she lives very close to where michael was living at the time that he died. we met for 4, 4 1/2 hours last thursday. >> larry: how was she paid? was she paid? >> larry, i wouldn't discuss any negotiations i had with la toya. it's confidential. i wouldn't discuss it. i don't think it's r

that's another claim la toya is making.e also claims the doctor performed cpr on michael jackson in his, meaning the doctor's room, not in michael jackson's room as we'd heard previously. but the doctor says that is absolutely not true, he doesn't know where la toya got that information. >> out to natisha lance, our producer standing by there in l.a. there was to be a big courtroom showdown today. there were a lot of no-shows. why was it postponed? >> that's right, nancy. attorneys for the jacksons and an attorney for debbie rowe said that they wanted to come together to try to reach some amicable understanding about what to do with the children in terms of debbie rowe. so reportedly what is going to happen that is debbie rowe will get supervised visitation of the children. also the children will not be referring to her as mother, but they will be calling her "miss debbie." however, we still have this hearing that is coming up on the 20th where we are expecting debbie rowe to be in court. >> out to the lawyers, let's unleas

eleanor, everyone is pooh-poohing the charges of la toya jackson. isn't it true that while the lapd chief is mulling criminal charges, someone is responsible for four fresh track marks in michael jackson's neck. now, eleanor, please, don't humor us by suggesting jackson himself shot himself up in the neck. >> that would be extremely difficult to do, especially if it's the diprivan that's only allowed in the o.r. there could be something given to michael jackson by another person, could be murder. >> here is my next question. eleanor, again, a lot of people think that that will never happen in this case. if someone, in fact, did give him a lethal dose of whatever drug, whether it's still in his system at the time of autopsy, now two autopsies, we learned from the second autopsy about the fresh needle tracks in his neck, that may equate to malice murder. when you give somebody a shot in the neck or four shots in the neck of a potentially lethal prescription drug given in that amount. >> exactly. if you are giving him an overdose, it leads to a murder

carlos, first off, let's talk about la toya. a lot of people going what credibility does la toya have. she was paid for this interview. your comments on that first off. >> yeah, i mean, i've read the interview. i want to pose this question. how is -- how is michael jackson worth more dead than he is alive? if he completes the 50 shows, we're talking, you know, half a billion dollars that people could make off of these shows. i don't understand how michael worth more dead than he is alive, especially since they were only insured for 30 shows, weren't for the other 20 shows. they're losing money on the tickets sold out for 50. as far as michael being taxed as far as his body being taxed for it and it being too much for him to handle, if you're going to rehearse for two shows, it's the same as rehearsing for 50 shows. if you want to have this conversation and say yes, on the 45th show, he collapsed from exhausti exhaustion, i'd buy that argument but i don't buy the argument that this is a result of michael being overworked because

in a shocking new interview with a london tabloid, la toya says he was murdered. she said it was his entourage that did it, and she says they did it out of greed. >> it's the strongest language yet from the jackson family. she accuses michael's inner circle of feeding him addictive drugs to control his moods. and signing him up for a 50-concert tour against his will. michael was worth more than a billion dollars, she said. when anybody is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around him. he is worth more dead than alive. and the paper paid la toya for the interview. >> she said she believes 100% that her brother, michael, was murdered and she feels he was surrounded by shady characters that did not have his best interest at heart. >> michael was isolated from his family at the end. he had no real friends, she said. he was the loneliest man in the world. i knew something terrible was going to happen. when la toya arrived at michael's mansion, she saw oxygen tanks and iv dripz everywhere. >> she said to me that there was evidence in the private autop

. >> la toya jackson told a london tabloid that she believes her brother was murdered for his money. >> she said people were around him that didn't have his best interests at heart. to them, he wasn't michael the brother, the father, the child. he was michael the cash cow, money making machine. >>> and tonight, breaking news, a beloved couple with 16 children, 12 of them adopted, many of them with special needs, handicapped, murdered in their own home. part of it caught on video. we have the video. the suspects in full ninja garb invade the home with military-like precision. as we go to air, arrests come down as the hunt for more suspects goes on. tonight, who gunned down this beautiful couple, leaving 16 children orphans? >>> a tragedy occurred in escambia county with the murder of byrd and melanie billings. >> police say the billings were ambushed when two groups of men burst into their home killing them execution style. >> i think you'll find this particularly chilling and here's why. >> they were all dressed in black, all had masks on. >> dressed in ninja black garb. >> who would

but la toya went a step further. control him and using drugs. i did speak with a close family friend who said that many people in jackson's family feel the exact same way. they think that people around him looked at michael jackson as a cash machine, an atm machine, and that they could better control him if he was kept drugged. >> you went to law school. manslaughter is the word i've heard that has been described as potentially a charge, negligent manslaughter. that's short of homicide, if you will, or murder. >> that's correct. there would be no intent to kill. however, it would be willful, reckless, and obviously the behavior could or should cause death, and so, yes, you're absolutely right. that's exactly what the charge would be. >> how significant is the fact that these albums, these records of michael jackson since his death have really sky rocketed? 800,000 last week alone. one in ten of the top 100 albums is a michael jackson album. this potentially is very significant. >> it's huge. a few weeks ago, michael

la toya sold her story to a british newspaper. she alleges murder. she has no evidence to back it up. joe jackson is saying he hasn't seen his son in years because he son didn't like him and cut him completely out of the will. i think for the l.a. police, the question is whether they can establish the link to the diprivan. this is a drug not given by prescription. they have to find out how it got out of the hospital, into the jackson household and if it was actually put into jackson by a doctor, this would be negligent. it would certainly be manslaughter as we would think of it. the problem is this drug leaves the body within a couple of hours. and there was a long delay in getting jackson to the hospital. not only did dr. conrad murray fail to call it in for 15 minutes, but once the emergency crews arrived, they spent 45 minutes trying to intubate jackson before they got to the hospital, unless the hospital did a special test to see if it was in the body, it would have been gone. there's no evidence they did that test because they had no reason to s

. >> larry: what do you make of la toya's accusations about foul play and murder?i can see a family member being very upset. i think the source of where the interview came from, when you look at it, it looks very exaggerated. to think there was this big conspiracy, it would need to be followed up with a simple fact of who was benefiting? i mean, you know, michael already had his deal with his atv catalog. they didn't stand to make any difference whether michael, you know, passed away or survived. and the people around him that maybe she was accusing of this, you know, if there was a will that popped up that was done two weeks prior to this happening, okay, there might be merit to think there was a conspiracy, but from what's going on now, nobody around him would stand to benefit from his death. >> larry: yeah, marc, thanks, see you again soon. come back home. >> thank you, larry. >> larry: the guys who know a thing or two about celebrity child custody cases are here. who else? the lawyers are next. >> larry: three guys who know the territory. mark geragos returns,
