Attorney David M. Ring Comments On The Michael Jackson Trial

David M. Ring of Taylor & Ring was interviewed by the LOS ANGELES TIMES on November 9th, 2011, about the civil wrongful death lawsuit brought by the estate of Michael Jackson.

A civil wrongful death case is different than a criminal case. For example, in Michael Jackson’s situation, the criminal case was against Dr. Conrad Murry alone for his recklessness in causing Michael Jackson’s death. However, the civil wrongful death case is not only against Dr. Murray, but against the company AEG, which the plaintiffs allege was Dr. Murray’s employer and also negligent and legally responsible for the death.
