The revelations keep coming in the Michael Jackson-AEG case, with the latest coming from his former tour director, Kenny Ortega - who wrote in a letter to the concert promoter that Jacko was in danger of hurting himself.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the letter, sent to AEG head Randy Phillips, was presented to the jury on Monday. The letter itself was written just five days before Jackson's 2009 death.
"There are strong signs of paranoia, anxiety and obsessive-like behavior," Ortega wrote. "I think the very best thing we can do is get a top psychiatrist in to evaluate him ASAP. I honestly felt if I had encouraged or allowed him on stage last night he could have hurt himself. I believe we need professional guidance in this matter."
Jackson's family claims that AEG was negligent in hiring Conrad Murray, who is in jail after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson's death.
