November 30, 2010The late Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, has re-filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray, and has added a Nevada pharmacy as a defendant.
Jackson first filed the suit back in June of 2010, but a federal judge refused to hear the case, saying the proper venue was state court, the Associated Press reports. The suit was re-filed Tuesday in a California court.
The suit seeks unspecified damages against Murray and the pharmacy where Murray allegedly obtained the drug propofol. The Los Angeles County Coroner concluded that Jackson died of "propofol intoxication."
Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a criminal case regarding Jackson's death.
