Jeffree Phillips, who is being sued by the Michael Jackson Estate over allegedly stolen items from Michael Jackson home just few days after his death, is asking the court to delay the trial to be able to build his defense.
Phillips has requested the sheduled trial date of September 6, 2023 to be pushed by 6 months as his lawyer still wants to depose Michael’s 93 year old mother Katherine along with the two co-executors of the Estate, John McClain and John Branca.
Phillips also said that he had to change lawyer and this new lawyer needs more time to catch up on the case. He even said that the extra time would allow the parties to continue settlement discussions.
Phillips’ new lawyer said the estate indicated they will oppose this motion. Maybe because they have a bigger case to concentrate on and want this silly trial to get done as soon as possible.
