Randy Jackson Hospitalized

On Tuesday, Michael’s brother, Randy Jackson, was hospitalized in a hospital in Southern California due to chest pain. The 48-year-old Randy developed the pain on Tuesday afternoon and was taken to Huntington Hospital. Doctors believe he may have suffered a mild heart attack. The day before, he had attended a hearing related to his brother’s murder case from last year, along with some members of his family.

In an interview with CNN last week, he said he believes Conrad Murray should be tried for first-degree murder, not involuntary manslaughter. He also said that other people played a role in his brother’s death. Having an active presence on Twitter, over the past few weeks he announced that he had managed to stop an unconfirmed anniversary program that was planned for Michael in Rome. He also said he was in talks with officials at Forest Lawn Park to obtain permission for fans to attend Michael’s grave on the anniversary of his death. He said that the fans are his source of comfort after his brother’s passing.

“I’m very often sad and brokenhearted. But your support gives me the courage and motivation to continue this fight to reach the truth and justice.”
