THE MANSLAUGHTER trial of Michael Jackson's doctor began yesterday with the courtroom equivalent of the atom bomb: a macabre death photo of the King of Pop.

The Thriller star died of an overdose surgery-strength anesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009 send millions into mourning around the world. Now, his doctor, Conrad Murray, is on trial for manslaughter. Jackson can be heard slurring: "When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, 'I've never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go.' "I'm taking that money, a million children, children's hospital, the biggest in the world, Michael Jackson's Children's Hospital."
