Buy Michael Jackson's Used Syringe!

Rumour has it you'll be able to do just that...
The unnamed person who is currently in possession of the syringe used to administer the fatal dose of drugs to Michael Jackson, is looking to auction it off. It is reportedly being offered to auction houses in Las Vegas for prices as high as $5 million. It is believed that Janet and Tito Jackson both were told about the sale and are trying to stop it.
According to a source:
This is one of the sickest lots ever put up. The syringe is no longer needed in the inquest or in Murray's forthcoming trial but the moral implications don't bear thinking about.
The guy who has possession of the needle has been in meetings with his legal team, making sure it is legitimate and his to sell. The plan is to flog it for up to $5million in a big Vegas casino but he's been told he may have to sell it somewhere that doesn't have 'reciprocal legal agreements with the United States', such as Brazil or even Libya. The validity of the sale is a matter of interpretation, dependent on whether the DA believes a crime has even been committed.
Rumours are leaking thick and fast and the Jackson family are aware of the auction plan. They are furious and incensed that someone is yet again trying to profit from him. It's an incredibly distressing time for them.
