It's final. Judge Palazuelos just filed her denial of the Jackson's new trial motion.
Personal note: FINALLY!! Now this judge is OUT of this and the appeals court will take over! Yay!

New trial in Michael Jackson wrongful-death suit rejected

New trial in Michael Jackson wrongful-death suit rejected
By Alan Duke, CNN
January 13, 2014
Los Angeles (CNN) -- The judge who presided over the Michael Jackson wrongful-death trial last year issued a final rejection of the Jacksons' request for a new trial on Monday.
The six-month-long trial ended in October with a victory for AEG Live, the concert promoter Jackson's mother and children had claimed was liable for his death because it hired, retained or supervised the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death.
Lawyers for mother Katherine Jackson argued that the verdict form used by the jury was faulty and that the judge erred by refusing to let them pursue a negligence claim independent of the hiring case.
Their motion for a new trial filed in December included sworn statements from four of the 12 jurors saying they feel cheated by the outcome, which they blame on a misleading verdict form.
Jackson died from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009, which Dr. Conrad Murray told police he used to treat the pop icon's insomnia as he prepared for a tour produced by AEG Live.
Los Angeles County Judge Yvette Palazuelos issued a tentative ruling earlier in January saying she did not err in her decisions on the verdict form or with the dismissal of the negligence claim.
She heard oral arguments on January 3 and filed her final decision denying the request on Monday.
Jackson lawyers have indicated they will appeal the jury's verdict.
AEG Live lawyers filed statements from seven other jurors saying they were not confused by the verdict form.
The jurors cited by the Jackson motion used the words "stunned," "upset" and "shocked" when they were told they had to stop deliberations after a majority agreed the answer was "no" to the second question on the verdict form: "Was Dr. Conrad Murray unfit or incompetent to perform the work for which he was hired?"
One juror called the question "a trap that prevented us from deliberating on the real issues of the case."
"After sitting through almost six months of the trial in this case, I believed that Mrs. Jackson had proven her case against AEG LIve," another juror said. "Despite this fact, I had no way of voting in favor of the plaintiffs because of the way that the verdict form was worded."
Jackson lawyers, in their arguments for a new trial, contended that Palazuelos erred by denying their request to add the words "at any time" to the second question.

Judge denies Michael Jackson's family bid for new wrongful death trial-Reuters

Judge denies Michael Jackson's family bid for new wrongful death trial
by Reuters
13 Jan 2014
LOS ANGELES, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The family of late pop star Michael Jackson on Monday lost its bid for a new trial against concert promoter AEG Live, which had been cleared of liability in the singer's death.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos ruled that Jackson's mother and children did not have standing for a re-trial after their attorneys argued last month that jury instructions were confusing and not wide enough in scope.
A jury in October cleared privately held AEG Live, the organizer of Jackson's ill-fated 50 "This Is It" comeback shows in London, of negligently hiring cardiologist Conrad Murray as Jackson's personal physician.
The verdict came after a sensational five-month trial that offered a glimpse into the private life and final days of the "King of Pop."
Jackson family attorneys could send their appeal to a higher state court.
Katherine Jackson, 83, and the singer's three children Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket, sued AEG Live over Jackson's 2009 death at age 50 in Los Angeles from an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol administered by Murray.
The wrongful death lawsuit claimed the concert promoter had acted negligently by hiring Murray as Jackson's personal physician, but a jury concluded Murray was sufficiently qualified for his job.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 for Jackson's death and served half of his 4-year sentence in a Los Angeles prison. He was released in October under a California state plan to reduce prison overcrowding. (Reporting by Eric Kelsey, editing by Piya Sinha-Roy and Cynthia Osterman)

Judge rejects bid for new trial In Michael Jackson's mother's lawsuit against promoter AEG

Judge rejects bid for new trial In Michael Jackson's mother's lawsuit against promoter AEG
By ANTHONY McCARTNEY | Associated Press
1/13/14
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Monday rejected a bid by Michael Jackson's mother for a new trial in her lawsuit claiming the promoter of her son's ill-fated comeback concerts was negligent in his death.
Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos ruled that jurors were given proper instructions and there were no errors in her trial rulings that would warrant a retrial.
A jury determined in October that AEG Live was not liable for Jackson's June 2009 death despite hiring the doctor who was convicted of giving the superstar an overdose of a powerful anesthetic.
Katherine Jackson's lawyers argued that jurors were given an improper verdict form that was contrary to state law and didn't allow them to consider all the issues in the case after five months of testimony last year.
AEG's lawyers argued that there was no mistake in the verdict form and the motion for a new trial should be denied.
Attorneys for the Jackson family matriarch could pursue an appeal to a higher state court.
AEG Live's attorney Marvin Putnam praised Monday's ruling.
"We were confident that the court would uphold the jury's verdict," he wrote in a statement. "This is also fantastic news for the taxpayers of California, who won't have their hard-earned money wasted retrying plaintiffs' baseless claims. Enough is enough."
Kevin Boyle, an attorney for Katherine Jackson and her grandchildren, said the case was far from over.
""We believe there are numerous ways that we can win on appeal," Boyle wrote in an email.
Katherine Jackson sued AEG Live on behalf of herself and her son's three children, accusing the concert promoter of hiring former cardiologist Conrad Murray and creating a conflict of interest in his care of the pop superstar.
Murray, who was deeply in debt, was expecting to be paid $150,000 a month to care for Jackson while he prepared for a planned series of comeback concerts in London's O2 Arena. The singer died on June 25, 2009, after receiving an overdose the anesthetic propofol, which Murray was giving Jackson as a sleep aid.
Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 and released in October after serving two years.
The trial offered a look into Jackson's personal life as well as his routines as an entertainer and medical treatments for a variety of ailments.
Jurors who spoke after the verdict said their verdict did not mean they thought Murray was ethical in his care of Jackson. But they determined he was fit and competent to serve as the singer's doctor when he was hired.
AEG Live executives denied any wrongdoing throughout the trial and said there was no way they could have known that Murray was giving Jackson propofol in the bedroom of his rented mansion.

Thanks for posting all the different news sources admin. It will likely take time now but I firmly believe AEG will be held accountable in the end of all this process.
I have to say I have read a lot of sources on this story and most of the commenters are crazy as bats! It is so obvious they know nothing about MJ's life as it REALLY was or the trial as it really went! It makes me sick how these people bash KJ and call her the most disgusting names!
Justice for Michael and his family!!!
