Don't happen that will -- in Los Angeles.

In fact there -- footage that clearly shows.

But on July 7 my brother went to -- with Al Sharpton can -- the day before the day after.

I want some answers.

Michael Jackson's siblings Janet greedy and Randy Jackson continued their crusade to have the exact gators of Michael Jackson's will resign.

They believe that John -- got -- John McClain.

Forced Michael Jackson's will and 2002.

Will look at -- work.

Billions of dollars from that famous music catalog why would they do something like that's.

Won't.

Aren't safe from when they're making 10%.

To any business transactions that are dying.

Inside the estate of Michael Jackson.

Jackson's will names his children prints.

Paris prince Michael Joseph known as blanket and his mother Katherine as sole beneficiaries.

But -- complete control to the executives of the estate John -- and John McClain.

I -- I'll I'll get into that yet because we would admit that true.

Michael's dad Joseph Jackson tried to challenge will shortly after Jackson's tragic death.

Claiming his son had fired bronco and 2003.

After Michael said he uncovered evidence that bronco was embezzling him.

Popping joke also -- the -- was born on the case was thrown out and music industry insider twiggy blogs about.

It's from February 2003.

What is sun never brought that she was never be hired.

Celebrity attorney Dickie Roberts once represented Jermaine Jackson.

But says no one in the family has the right to challenge this will -- not and -- DT.

Under the probate code if mr.

Jackson had died in testing meaning he had no will.

He wouldn't that they wouldn't be entitled to take anything anyway it's the nearest issue with the nearest relatives with these children.

A spokesman for bronco and Maclean has denied from the start.

The claim that the will was fraudulent and the public battle has the Jackson family seeking damage control.

Janet Jackson's attorney released a statement.

That Janet Randy and -- -- have questioned the validity of the will with no financial motive whatsoever.

They stand to gain nothing financially by finding that the -- is invalid he goes on to say the individuals who have the most to lose by -- finding that the will is invalid are of course the exact you there is.

And those on the executor is payroll but Dickie Roberts has a theory.

The only way that I can see any of the siblings.

Having any possibility.

To get any money.

Out of this estate is to have Katherine Jackson declared incompetent and to ask the court to appoint them as -- -- the terms of the state.

Jackson then theoretically they would be entitled to receive money is in her care from the state.

She is 240%.

The children 40% and 20% to charity.

Great that's a lot of money.

It's a lot of money now Craig mirrored let's put the issue of Michael's wills legitimacy.

Aside for a second the second issue the more important -- you.

Is whether Michael Jackson's 82 year old -- cap friend.

Sequester -- whatever you call it by her children.

Now I understand it was -- doctor Allan Metzger mentioned this with today at the top of the show who came to the house and said she had to go for this aren't our.

-- be -- -- order rather than with -- Jackson who's in charge of security her grand nephew.

So.

What do you know about this doctor Allan Metzger who told the Palin told -- friend that -- had to go to this kind of rest retreat.

Yet.

He's a very interesting character back he at one point testified in the Conrad Murray have manslaughter trial.

Stating that.

Michael Jackson has gone to him seeking.

Prescription drugs -- he was six actually testifying on behalf of Conrad Murray.

Statements have been released by I Katherine Jackson reportedly saying that that -- -- went there.

Stating that he was there for.

On behalf of her personal doctor ware in fact she says that that never happened that he had nothing to do.

With her personal physician -- Craig Quigley -- a little -- -- get it to the house.

To get Katherine west -- regret -- spoke to -- Sanders junior he is Catherine's attorney and he.

Believes what he knows that that Jermaine Jackson and -- Jackson did.

Know about this examination.

He doesn't know whether or not it was -- -- examined her first hand but he went to to Tucson to talk to Catherine.

And he did confirm that Katherine didn't know where she was going she had no communication with the family she didn't know that she was reported missing she didn't know that the children were missing.

As soon as she found out.

That the children were concerned about.

Her she contacted them she made arrangements to return home and she did return now.

It today Jackson.

-- daughter.

The brother of let me go to today Jackson that Craig thanks -- -- it can you comment on what you just heard today.

Yes basically what I wanted to say before we had gone -- you know I just want to make it clear.

That she was not kidnapped she was not kidnapped it was a big misunderstanding.

About that she was not kidnapped.

As far as the legalities of the will I stay out of that one thing that I will comment on that.

The the gentleman had said earlier.

If Michael wanted anyone to be on that will there in -- -- would've been there I don't think that the will is falls.

But you know I stay away from that part of it.
