Joe Jackson Thinks Michael's Death Was A Homicide

No one was more surprised to hear that Michael Jackson was being rushed to the hospital than his own father, Joe Jackson.

"I just couldn't believe that was happening to Michael," the elder Jackson told ABC in an exclusive interview. "I do believe it was foul play. I do believe that."

The family personally requested a second autopsy for Michael and the father says they are still waiting on police toxicology reports to determine whether the King of Pop's death should be ruled as a homicide or an accidental overdose.

Yet, even in the midst of immense grief, the patriarch of the Jackson clan is still very attentive to the future of this legendary family. He firmly believes that he and his wife Katherine should have custody over Jackson's three children. Furthermore, he is already considering how to take advantage of his grandchildren's talent.

"I don't know -- I keep watching Paris. She … wants to do something," he said. "And as far as I can see, well, they say Blanket, he can really dance."

However, if Jackson's life and struggles are indication of anything, maybe it would be best to keep the kids out of show business.
