Janet Jackson along with her two sisters LaToya and Rebbie and mum and dad all attended day two of preliminary hearing against Dr Conrad Murray.
During day two a bodyguard told how Michael Jackson’s children walked into their father’s bedroom in the middle of his doctor’s doomed attempts to revive him.
Dr Conrad Murray insisted Prince Michael and Paris were bundled from the room after the star’s daughter burst into tears and screamed ‘Daddy’.
Jackson’s bodyguard, Alberto Alvarez, said the 50-year-old singer was lying lifeless on the bed with his eyes and mouth open as the doctor was carrying out CPR.
He said Dr Murray told him: ‘Don’t let them see their father like this.’
Mr Alvarez struggled to hold back tears as he told a court in Los Angeles that Dr Murray instructed him to remove a bag full of bottles from the singer’s bedside before calling for help.
He said he was also asked to hide an intravenous (IV) bag from its stand.
Prosecutors claim Dr Murray was attempting to hide the fact that he had injected Jackson with a fatal dose of the powerful hospital anaesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009.
Reliving the moment he first saw the singer’s body, Mr Alvarez, 34, said he froze at the sight of Jackson on the bed.
He said Dr Murray ‘was standing over him and he was giving him chest compressions with one hand’.
The bodyguard added that only after the doctor had scooped the bottles into a brown canvas bag was he told to call an ambulance.
Here is the first official look at Oprah interviewing Katherine and Joe Jackson along with Michael Jackson’s three kids Prince, Paris, and Blanket.
The kids whose lives have been shrouded in secrecy for most of their childhood will appear on the speacial Oprah interview that will air November 8th.
In the sit down which was filmed at the Jackson home in Encino, California, Mrs Jackson will open up about the day the music icon died in June last year.
Michael Jackson’s father Joe Jackson is blaming his wife for the King of Pop’s death.
In a video interview with London’s News of the World, Joe claims his wife could have saved her son’s life if she had mothered him more.
Prior to MJ’s death, his dad told Katherine that their son was “looking kinda funny and frail,” but says his wife refused to approach her son.
“She didn’t want to do that because she was afraid she was invading his privacy,” he claims.
When Jackson died last June, Joe apparently took it out on his wife.
“I said this would have never happened if you had went and been with him,” the 80-year-old told the British tabloid.
Katherine’s lawyers immediately hit back at Joe, denying their client was anything but the picture perfect mother.
“The world knows that Mrs. Jackson has always been a loving mother and grandmother, and that she and Michael had a very special relationship,” her lawyer, Adam Streisand, told TMZ.com. “The world also knows who Joe Jackson is and he seems bent on never letting us forget.”
The Jackson family; Janet, brothers Jermaine and Randy and parents Joe and Katherine all attended the latest hearing in the case against Dr Conrad Murray.
During the brief hearing it was announced that Judge Michael Pastor will preside over the trial.
Judge Pastor then set June 14th as the date to hold a preliminary hearing.

Dr Conrad Murray pleaded not guilty in court yesterday for the charge of involuntary manslaughter. The doctor was released on bail of $75,000.

Joe Jackson appeared on Larry King Live last night to discuss his unhappiness with the involuntary manslaughter charge and that he believes he thinks Dr. Conrad Murray is a “fall guy” in a larger conspiracy.
Let’s just hope Michael Jackson and his family receive justice!
