mrs. jackson is a major part to protect and preserve the legacy of michael jackson to introduce information into evidence that would shift the burden with respect to these executives. >> larry: have you done that? >> we're in the process. >> larry: that's what the extension was for 60 days. why do you want to take that away from him? >> during the period of time we've been negotiating, we've asked for documentation and we weren't able to get the information. so the court also moved forward to allow mrs. jackson to move forward the process to get information. >> larry: the attorney for john maclean and the executives of the will had this to say. the special administrators are in the process of creating significant value for michael jackson's beneficiaries, his three children, his mother katherine jackson and the charitable cause that is were so important to him during his lifetime. that's their job. >> that's the job of the executors and the trustees and i think that whomever will ultimately be in the position to do that will undertake that position responsibly. >> larry: do you have any que

mrs. jackson's husband. he didn't inquire and he will not have a role in raising the children. he doesn't live in havenhurst. but you raised joe jackson. i do want to say something. it is understandable some of the sentiments towards him. i think in some respects, he gets a bad shake. he's a loving guy. he's been there since day one. he's a tough guy. he has his ups and downs with the media, but at the same time, michael forgave joe jackson. no one pays attention to that. look at the "thriller 25" credits. he forgave joe jackson. he's not going to be a major factor with the children and we're going to move forward. >> larry: forgetting the jackson and the attention, wouldn't a judge inquire about the father? >> the grandfather? >> larry: yes. >> and he consented to his wife being guardian. >> larry: oh, he did sign? that was presented to the court? >> he also signed a declaration explaining that he lives most of the time in las vegas and will visit with his grandchildren occasionally. >> i want to say and share that he voluntarily did that. he wasn't forced to do it. he wanted t

mr. jackson's personal physician.should know what he is doing. >> you are the person preparing all his food. we heard in the days after his death michael jackson was eating only one meal a day. he appeared to be losing weight. he appeared to be lighter than we have ever seen him in the past? was he eating only one meal a day and what was he eating? >> mr. jackson was eating lunch and i was preparing dinner for he and his children. i would make fresh, organic meals. he was into healthy eating. he was into comfort food on saturday. sunday he would eat kfc. corn on the cob down to the anybody lets, just gone. father's day, made him gumbo. he asked for gumbo. he was eating organic and fresh because he is dancing and rehearsing. and, you know, as a dancer his body is his tool. >> so what you are saying would seem to run counter that he was a strict vegetarian. >> no. mr. jackson was not eating any beef and he wasn't eating any pork. >> but he did eat chick snn. >> chicken fish and turkey and organic vegetables and fruit. >

mr. jackson. >> early on the l.a. coroner's office declared that the autopsy of jackson's body didn't tell them much. since then, that office has been trying to determine what killed jackson and how, not only by collecting items from his house and his doctor's offices but through chemical analysis of what was left behind in jackson's body. >> in the case of michael jackson, where drugs are suspected, then a complete evaluation of the blood and the fluids and any tissues need to be done. >> bruce goldberger is a professor of toxicology at the university of florida. and a veteran of tens of thousands of toxicology examinations. he believes the tox results in jackson's case will be the key to understanding what killed him. although propofol is the drug we have been learning about, toxicologists here in los angeles actually screened for a wide range of drugs, from drugs of abuse look cocaine and hair within to prescription drugs, sedatives or anti-seizure medications. even for over-the-counter drugs, basically anything tha

mrs. jackson is very level headed. >> larry: was michael difficult to manage? >> no. >> larry: all talent has some quirks. >> they all have some quirks. michael was great to manage. he would have a wild idea and i would have maybe a different idea. he would be, like steven spielberg and i'm martin scorcesi. he used to laugh about that. >> larry: how did you feel about the accusation period, little boys? >> i know that wasn't true. i know michael was a kind soul that wouldn't touch or harm a child. at first when i told him to fight it. if he was alive today he would tell you. he told me frank dileo told me to fight it. i should have listen to him. the second time i knew he was innocent. the people were moochers. >> larry: jim, has that gone away? >> the allegations. >> larry: the story itself sort of faded. >> i think you hear people like frank talk, you hear from brooke shields and his daughter at the memorial. we are seeing a different side of michael jackson. we saw him as a strange guy, odd. he was odd but he was ve

mr. jackson and mrs. jackson have said things that are very clear, i mean you just showed pictures. jackson used to walk with michael to court every day. all of this about them barring him, when i was at the house leading up to the funeral, he was there every day and mr. jackson was on the east coast last week. i spent some time with him and he said some of these things to me that he feels that they have got to keep digging deeper and deeper. let's not just stop at doctor, they want the truth and they don't want to stop until every contract, every insurance policy and everything has been examined and i support that. there are some of us that want to find out what is there or is not there without any fear. as far as michael being afraid, he expressed that to me, i do not know firsthand what michael's fear was. i know that michael from several years ago when came to me about his ca catalog always felt that there were forces trying to undermine him and i can say what his father said about him on tape as having that kind of fear is something i heard michael express. >> geraldo: michael

mr. jackson and that was all. >> the timing is interesting. because at that point of time, the tour was being planned. aeg was going to allow michael jackson to have a physician. do you feel at all that michael jackson was maybe interviewing a good friend of his, but also a physician, for that position? >> possibly. i mean, he was obviously looking for someone who would give him this particular drug, so apparently he was shopping around. he hadn't actually seen dr. metzger since 2003, and dr. metzger sort of viewed it as a social acquaintance and visiting his home. he may have been looking around for a physician at that point. dr. metzger does not know dr. murray, never heard of dr. murray, never communicated with dr. murray. >> but i think what we can establish is that michael jackson knew about the drug at that time and was making inquiries about it? >> absolutely. and he knew it was dangerous and knew the circumstances which creates another issue in terms of the case, in terms of michael jackson being the prime mover in this whole tragedy. >

mr. jackson is pronounced dead. >> dr. kerry peterson. internal medicine, lennox hill hospital, thank you for your patience. you've been listening to all of this. the big question, of course, why didn't, when the paramedics arrived, they immediately take michael jackson into an ambulance and do all their work on him on the way to the hospital? dr. conrad murray was the doctor in charge. so he had the authority. he said to them, stay there for 42 minutes to work on michael jackson without a pulse, without breathing in the home. what do you make of that decision? >> well, what i would gather when it comes to resuscitation, time is of the essence. you don't have seconds to spare when someone is not breathing. presumably dr. murray was in a panic at that moment because he had attempted resuscitative efforts unsuccessfully and he was probably not thinking very rationally at that time. when ems arrived they would administer cpr immediately right there in the bed and would transport him as they were doing the cpr along the way. so i imagine that
