Jermaine Jackson Slams Dr. Murray
MALVEAUX: Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine, he's lashing out at Dr. Conrad Murray just days after Murray was convicted in Michael Jackson's death. "Showbiz Tonight's" A.J. Hammer, he's joining us from New York. So, A.J., tell us what Jermaine is saying.</s>A.J. HAMMER, ANCHOR, "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT": Well, Suzanne, Jermaine spoke with Piers Morgan last night. He and the whole Jackson family are venting their anger at Conrad Murray. They've all been pretty clear that while they're obviously happy Murray's been convicted of killing Michael Jackson, they don't think he's going to serve enough time behind bars. When he is sentenced, Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison. There's a very good chance he won't even have to serve all of that time, even if he gets it. The Jackson family is also furious over a documentary that Murray participated in. It's scheduled to air on Friday and Monday night. But Jermaine says the best way to protest the documentary is to simply ignore it. Watch what he told Piers.</s>JERMAINE JACKSON, MICHAEL JACKSON'S BROTHER: We're very angry. We're angry because Dr. Murray's a liar. And he had his chance in court. He was tried by 12 jurors and they found him guilty. So anything he says is really irrelevant. He had his chance to stand up. He's a coward. He's a liar. He didn't stand up in court. And plus this had to be for money, because that's -- he must have been paid big to do this.</s>HAMMER: Well, Suzanne, reports are that Murray denies receiving any money for the project, but a lot of people find that hard to believe. And his credibility is not exactly very strong right now.</s>MALVEAUX: Yes. And tell us, Michael Jackson's son, Prince, is now in the spotlight. What is he up to?</s>HAMMER: Yes, we're talking about Michael Jackson's oldest son. He's endorsing the J5 clothing collection. Now this is based on the styles of the Jackson 5. He says it's going to introduce Michael Jackson's style to a whole new generation. The 14-year-old is telling CNN that he's not doing it for the money. He's doing it as a favor for his uncles, who are, of course, the four surviving members of the Jackson 5. He and his uncles autographed a thousand replicas of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" "Thriller" leather jackets, which you see right here, and the jackets are going to be sold through amazon.com at the bargain basement price of $2,350 apiece. Order yours today, Suzanne.</s>MALVEAUX: Oh, wow. I bet you had one of those gloves. Michael Jackson's gloves.</s>HAMMER: I do, but I don't usually talk about it.</s>MALVEAUX: I'm sure.
