According to court documents, the Robson and Safechuck’s trial might be set to August 17, 2026. Depending on the judge’s confirmation on June 5, it seems that all parties are in agreement despite earlier reports that the “plaintiffs” wanted the court date to be before the release of the upcoming Michael Jackson Biopic next April.
Court documents also showcase that Robson and Safechuck proposed a settlement stated that the Estate admit that Michael Jackson abused them during their childhood. However, the Estate’s team has no interest in settling saying those allegations are “unequivocally” false.
To recap some of the upcoming court dates:
- Trial Reading hearing (where the court date will be confirmed): June 5, 2024.
- Motion to Quash hearing (regarding the request to get documents and photos from the autopsy): June 6, 2024
- Motion to force Robson’s lawyer, John Carpenter, to stop discussing the case in the media: July 1, 2024. [update: MOVED TO AUGUST 22, due to schedule conflict]
- Discovery: Between June and November 2025

- Hearing: March 31, 2026

All the dates above are provisional to be decided by the judge this June.
