Michael Jackson

 

Washington, June 26 : The strained relationship between Michael Jackson and his father Joseph has been well documented for years.

Two years ago, when the pop star died, the whole world could tell that his family and kids need to be protected and someone from their family must rise to the occasion.

Murray is charged with manslaughter in Michael''s death, at age 50, from an overdose of the powerful sedative Propofol.
Joe is, in fact, very much a part of the family now, Oxman told "Early Show on Saturday Morning" co-anchor Russ Mitchell.
"I think," Oxman said, "Joe is about as misunderstood as Michael was. It seems that he''s now inherited Michael''s misunderstanding.
"Joe Jackson is a really fine man. I have liked him for, well, 23 years I''ve been associated with this family. And he is the founder of this family. He is the one -- it''s been the strength of this family now.
"It''s devastating to Catherine Jackson, the mother. It''s hurtful to the kids, to the brothers and sisters ... but it''s Joe Jackson who is the rock holding this family together now,” he added. (ANI)
