Katherine Jackson rested her months-long, megabucks wrongful death case against concert promoter AEG Live Friday after dropping a bid to show jurors never-before-seen "This Is It" rehearsal footage.
Katherine's lawyers originally wanted to cap the trial that began in April with select outtakes of the King of Pop appearing "slow" and needing help up a ramp in the days before his death, but they backed down when AEG lawyers countered with a request that jurors see all the raw footage from the final rehearsals.
"We just weighed the options of what (AEG lawyers) were going to do in response and how that would delay the close of the trial," Kevin Boyle told the Daily News, explaining the reversal.
Closing arguments in the five-month trial, in which is suing for more than $1 billion in damages, are now scheduled to begin Tuesday.
