Most telling to me is that Michael Jackson didn’t want his Father to have custody of his kids.
I think old Joe Jackson was a total SOB, who rode a very BIG gravy train for a number of years.
At the ages of both Joe and Katherine, why should they get control of those kids and the money?
I sure hope Michael had a will. It might make the legal wrangling get cut short.
Wonder how soon after Joe is gone that LaToya and Janet will tell all in their books?
Joe strikes me as a common grifter...
Since he was not married at the time of his death, I'm gonna guess because they are the legal next-of-kin.
