It did not make the New York Times, but in the Daily News the headlines read:

> **[Judge allows Michael Jackson’s ghost in shocking courtroom testimony: Dr....](https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/michael-jackson-ghost-court-dr-murray-innocent-article-1.1373550)**

"The claim that Michael Jackson’s ghost declared his own death an accident was actually heard in an eerie courtroom testimony — and the judge inexplicably let it stand.

Lionel Richie’s ex-wife Brenda supposedly claimed that the King of Pop’s spirit visited her to clear up that Jacko unintentionally took his own life, absolving the doctor — and the company who hired him — from blame for pumping Jackson full of deadly anesthetics."

Maybe they’ll call Elvis to testify?

I welcome this progressive legal development, and can offer my services as a _bona-fide_ court medium to testify on behalf of whoever pays me, just like a regular lawyer.  
Perhaps they can revive the legal suffrage granted to dead men in Chicago and other places in the olden days. Can’t do any harm.
