Michael Jackson's lawyer claimed the singer's documentary with Martin Bashir 'set in motion a series of very tragic events' which ultimately lead to his death in 2009. The lawyer, 70, claims in an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph that Jackson told him that Mr Bashir 'flattered' the singer. Mr Mesereau claims he 'always wondered why, of all the people he could have trusted to do a professional interview, he chose Mr Bashir'. Jackson said Mr Bashir lauded a close personal relationship with the princess and even claimed he was her most-trusted confidante, Mr Mesereau claims. The lawyer claims Jackson told him 15 years ago that he thought if Diana trusted Mr Bashir, he could as well.
