Joe Jackson may be having serious problems accepting that he was really left out of his son’s will. He’s fighting against the Superior Court from being locked out of executor to Michael Jackson’s estate when they decided to name the executives of music John McClain and John Branca as executors to the estate. Joe Jackson filed a request of appeal to California Court of Appeals hoping to overturn the decision. He actually even wants believes Michael’s name was forged. Meanwhile, the echoes of the past lay clear the reasons why Michael would have left his abusive father out.

While last week’s court ruling gives Branca and McClain quite a large amount of control over his estate (including how Michael’s fortune can be distributed and how his image and work can be used), Joe Jackson really seems to just want what he is claiming he was already getting from Michael — paid expenses — and what Michael’s siblings are getting. Currently, there isn’t any take on whether Jackson will thus be given what he’s asking.

It’s clear Jackson will keep trying until he’s run out of every option, at which point he will most likely turn the guns at McClain and Branca. But will anybody listen?
