Jacko: New Subpoena May Drag Him Home
Michael Jackson's Bahrain vacation may be coming to an end.
This week, papers were served on Jackson's three known remaining attorneys by a lawyer for Marc Schaffel, Jackson's former partner.
Schaffel, formerly an unnamed and unindicted co-conspirator in Jackson's child molestation case, is suing Jackson for $4 million he says he loaned to Jackson over the course of four years.
Jackson's lawyers – Brian Oxman, Brent Ayscough and a Houston attorney named Michael Sydow – have rebuffed Schaffel's attempts to get Jackson to come home for a deposition in the case. Their main complaint is that any video deposition would immediately wind up in the press.
Nevertheless, Schaffel's lawyer, Howard King, has now served a motion for a hearing on August 17. King will push for Jackson to begin a deposition before August 31.
In the papers, King assures Jackson's team that the video will remain secret, which is too bad, 'cause we'd love to see it.
This should be interesting as it develops. Jackson is being sued by about four different parties now, none of whom are having any luck getting him before a judge.
Additionally, Jackson has almost no proper legal representation, since his regular civil team disbanded this year.
And of course, he continues to face down a December deadline for disposition of his 50 percent stake in Sony/ATV Music Publishing.
