Michael Jackson's eldest children Prince and Paris 'want to testify' in manslaughter trial

Blanket - 9, Paris - 12 and Prince - 14

Michael Jackson's children, Prince Michael and Paris, want to testify in the manslaughter trial of Dr Conrad Murray.

Prince, 14, and 13-year-old Paris have informed their grandmother Katherine of their intentions, but agree that their younger brother Blanket is too young at nine to take the stand, Radar Online reports. But a source close to the Jackson family revealed that the children have warm recollections of the medic, which could help with the jury. They write: 'Prince and Paris adored Doctor Murray and thought he was a godsend for their father.  It was only after their father's death that they formed a subsequent opinion of him. Both Prince and Paris could take the stand and wind up providing evidence which supports the doctor.'

What could be even more damaging to prosecutors, however, is if the children are cross-examined about their father's long-term drug use. The source continued: 'After saying goodbye to her dad at the hospital, Paris is said to have remarked, 'My daddy is so cold again. He was always cold. He would sit by the fire to get warm. We were always afraid he would fall in as he was so close to the flames. He couldn't get warm. Now there he is... so cold.'

'Prince and Paris knew their dad relied on Dr. Murray to survive and knew their father adored him. Their comments could save him from jail because it would work well in the eyes of a jury.'
