“Although the costs were high, the lawyers argued they were “entirely commensurate with the decedent’s worldwide status as an entertainer and the world’s grief over his death.”
Mrs. Jackson’s attorneys were granted the request for $1 million. The administrators noted this was in addition to the costs of the Staples Center tribute, which was approved by the court as part of the agreement with entertainment group AEG.
Outside court on Tuesday, lawyer Howard Weitzman, who represents the administrators, said: ”I would have done it less expensively. But it was Michael Jackson, who was larger than life. There’s no reason he should not have a funeral that’s larger than life.”
