Prosecutors announced when Murray was jailed that they would seek restitution of $ 100 million, plus more than $ 1 million in funeral-associated costs from Murray on behalf of Jackson’s children. Michael Jackson’s family has dropped a claim for compensation from the King of Pop’s former doctor Conrad Murray over the star’s sudden death in 2009, a spokeswoman said Thursday. Prosecutors were due in court next week to press a claim against Murray — who was jailed for four years in November after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter — to pay over $ 100 million in damages to the family, according to AFP. The Jackson family, however, decided it would no longer seek compensation and cancelled the court date, said a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. Observers said the restitution claim could be to prevent Murray profiting from the case in the future, by book or other deals.
