The father of Michael Jackson has refiled a wrongful death suit against the doctor of his late son. In a seperate criminal matter the doctor, Conrad Murray, has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

Joe Jackson claims that there is still “much to discover” about Michael’s death, but that the main complaint against the doctor is the unhealthy administration of the drug propofol. Coroner’s blame Jackson’s death on the intoxication from this drug. Joe Jackson also claims that the pharmacy involved sold Dr. Murray excessive quantities of the drug, which is usually only used in a hospital setting.

Initial action on the case happened on June 25, the anniversary of Michael’s death, but a judge ruled that it should be filed in state court rather than federal court. The refiling occured on December 1, 2010.

Dr. Murray administered the drug to Jackson on the day that he died but claimed that it was to help him sleep and that he did not do anything wrong in the process.
