NBC’s Jeff Rossen reported on how this accident could have started the King of Pop’s addiction to prescription painkillers, speaking with Us Weekly’s Melanie Bromley. Rossen also spoke with USC law school professor Jean Rosenbluth about the legal implications for the doctors who prescribed drugs to the pop star the day of his death.
