MJ’s kids boycott dad’s manslaughter trial

October 2, 2011 | Cinema | Written by

Washington, Oct 2: The late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s kids have decided to stay away from their father’s alleged murder trial.

Sources close to the kids said the trial is just too painful to relive especially for Prince and Paris, who witnessed the demise of their dad firsthand, reports TMZ.com.

Even Michael’s mother Katherine is relieved that the kids do not want to witness the trial, especially after prosecutor David Walgren displayed the shocking photo of the singer’s body while making the opening statements.

Although it is unlikely that the kids would be called as witnesses, Prince has reportedly been said to take the stand. (ANI)
