Washington, May 21 (ANI): Michael Jackson's personal physician Conrad Murray, who is currently serving time for involuntary manslaughter, never received any money from the superstar's concert promoters as the late singer died before signing on the medic's contract.
Murray's employment conditions have come under heavy scrutiny as the King of Pop's mother, Katherine Jackson, has allegedly claimed that Aeg executives were responsible for hiring unqualified doctor to treat her son, Contactmusic reported.
Julie Hollander, Aeg Live's vice president and controller of event operations, reportedly challenged that notion in a Los Angeles court by producing the firm's budget report on Monday.
During her witness testimony, Hollander revealed that the company had spent 24 million dollars on producing Michael's doomed 'This Is It' residency in London, and had budgeted an additional 150,000 dollars a month for Murray's costs.
Hollander added that the doctor, who had been in line to receive a 1.5 million dollars payday if the contract had been approved, was never paid anything as Michael did not officially sign the legal documents. (ANI)
