<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">I'm completely positive that not only
Jermaine wasn’t actively involved </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">in the writing of this book but also
he didn’t even bother proof reading. Instead, he directed it to be rushed
to print so it could debut right before the Conrad Murray Trial, capitalizing from the media frenzy as free publicity. Jermaine Jackson has
always had a knack for turning Michael Jackson’s lemons into <i>his</i> lemonade! </span><br />

is the money he can make without having earned it. What does he care, it
isn’t his fans, it is Michael’s fans! It isn’t his fault that MJ’s
sucker fans are willing to pay anything with Michael Jackson name on it. Have a ghost writer plagiarize from various resources, affix your name as the author, put
Michael on the cover and ka-ching!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">Janet Jackson autobiography, titled “True You” debuted in 2011. Notice that the cover is a picture of her—Janet is a esteemed artist in her own right. She doesn’t need Michael Jackson to boost her book sales. Janet shares her struggles with weigh loss and “depression” and reaches out to people who are going through the same struggles. She writes a book to use her celebrity to inspire people—not to exploit her little brother. Don’t turn to this book for gossip about Janet and the Jackson Family—especially Michael Jackson—there is none.</span><br />

Latoya is on a crusade to lend her…ahem…celebrity…for spreading awareness about the abuse she claims she endured in the hands of her former husband. Lest we forget that her first autobiography titled “Growing up in the Jackson Family” carried the same mission—but then, she was commiserating about the abuse she endured in the hands of her father, Joe, only to rescind those claims in this book.

<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13pt;">Jermaine is someone who just happened to grow up under the same roof as the musical genius Michael Jackson. And boy, did he milk that for what's worth. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">Michael and Jermaine didn't have a close brotherly bond. It’s safe to say that his knowledge of Michael is less than that of avid Michael Jackson fans.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13pt;">You’d think that Jermaine would proof-read this book which was researched and written entirely by a ghost writer [Steve Dennis]—at least out of curiosity. But Jermaine didn't bother. End result is an "autobiography" replete with inaccuracies such as spellings of his mom & brother's names and even his own birthday. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">There were numerous small factual errors that, in totality, add up to confirm that this book is the product of Steve Dennis' poor research skills [of which fans of Britney Spears also complain on amazon about a book he wrote.]</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;"></span><br />

I will give several examples of plagiarism but to list them all would be tedious. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">Almost everything—I’d impartially say that perhaps %94 of this book comes from other books, Michael Jackson interviews and Internet sources (articles, news, blogs, videos etc).</span></div>

<br />
When you regurgitate info from the media without fact-checking, you run into the caveat of repeating misinformation. The misinfo that was published by various media outlets was that Michael was monitored by FBI for 16 years.<br />
<br />
FBI didn't monitor Mr. Jackson 16 years. FBI assisted the investigation by California law enforcement between 1993-1994 and 2004-2005. That's 2 years in regards to the molestation allegations [not 16 yrs].</div>

<span class="apple-style-span">Jermaine recounts that Michael used Nadinola
before he was ever diagnosed with Vitiligo. During his teenage years, Michael
had acne problems which troubled him a great deal. Jermaine explains that
Michael used Nadinola to fade scar marks because “for black kids, squeezing and
picking [on pimples] leaves a mark darker than the natural skin color.”
Although the product is marketed as “skin discoloration fade cream”, Jermaine
calls it “a skin bleaching cream.”</span><br />

couldn’t keep it in his pants—although in his book he deceptively wrote that it
was Josephine with the fidelity issues. After 10 months of
marriage, Joe and Josephine got divorced. I believe that Katherine and Joe
had an affair while he was married. I also believe that they <i>had to </i>get
married (because Katherine was pregnant with Reebie). Here’s their history as told in their books.</span></div>

stood on the stairs before the front door when Katherine rode on the bicycle

were holding hands, kissing and hugging. They had been together for five years. </span>She

<div class="MsoNormal">
Vanity Fair published excerpts from an upcoming book on
Michael Jackson by Randall Sullivan. They ran the article with the
salacious title <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/online/oscars/2012/10/michael-jackson-burial-delayed-janet-jackson-deposit">“Michael Jackson’s Burial Was Delayed Because Janet Wanted Her Burial-Plot Deposit Back.”</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The article claimed that the burial was delayed for three
months due to financial wrangling between Janet Jackson and the Michael Jackson
Estate. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sullivan claims "Janet put up the $40,000
deposit at Forest Lawn to secure a spot for Michael but refused to let the
funeral take place until the money was repaid.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This claim is baseless and totally false.</div>

To secure a spot for Michael Jackson, the Jackson Family
signed an initial contract with Forest Lawn on July 4, 2009 for basic funeral
services for $103, 578. This included a $5000 a month charge for invaultment (to store Michael Jackson's body in a temporary vault). As per the contract, $49,372.50 advance toward the expenses had to be paid on July 6th and the
remaining balance of $54,206 to be paid before the burial. Janet Jackson paid the advance of $49,372.50</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This, however, didn’t mean that Mr. Jackson would indeed
be laid to rest at Forest Lawn. The contract was just to secure a spot. As evidenced by the invaultment arrangement, the Jackson Family was still considering alternatives as the final resting place for the Gloved One. The reason that the burial
was delayed for 3 months was the dissent among the Jackson Family members
over a proper burial place. Neverland, Forest Lawn, <st1:city w:st="on">Las
Vegas</st1:city> and Garry, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Indiana</st1:state></st1:place>
were among the Family's considerations. </div>

When the Family finally settled on the Forest Lawn, they then amended the initial Forest Lawn Contract, purchasing a tomb at the Great Mausoleum aka Fort Knox of Forest Lawn. The new funeral package incurred an additional $855,730.31 to the expenses. $590,000 of this was just for the tomb. Additionally, the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:city> family rented Villa Sorriso for a funeral repast (invitation-only family gathering after the burial) for $21,455</div>

Janet's reimbursement was never an issue in Michael Jackson’s burial as Randall Sullivan claims. In fact, payment was no issue at all on any front. Randy Jackson, on behalf of the Jacksons Family, didn’t even approach the Estate for payment till August 29, 2009. This is the very date when the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jacksons</st1:place></st1:city> learnt that neither the Forest Lawn nor the Glendale Police Department will proceed rendering their services without full payment.</div>

Michael Jackson Estate was fully supportive of Michael Jackson getting a befitting send-off but because the Estate was under probate and such decision needed the approval of the probate judge, the Estate couldn’t just write a check. On Saturday August 29, 2009, The Estate advised Katherine’s attorney Burt Levitch to seek an immediate ex parte asking the judge to authorize the Estate to make the payment.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt;">The Special Administrators and their
counsel were contacted by Michael Kane, who was contacted by Randy Jackson who was seeking the guarantee of the Special Administrators that the
funeral bills and related security costs would be paid out of the Estate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt;">As you know, the decisions regarding
Michael Jackson's funeral are entirely those of Katherine Jackson, and the
Special Administrators have no role in it. However, it appears that Mrs.
Jackson and Randy Jackson may be under the erroneous impression that the
Special Administrators can advance funds or guarantee reimbursement of costs
for the funeral. Of course, the Special Administrators can do neither.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt;">You may wish to consider seeking
immediate ex parte approval of the court for payment of the expenses in advance
of the final arrangements. The Special Administrators will waive the customary
24 hours notice if you choose to move on this matter on Monday morning. The
Special Administrators are certainly supportive of the Mrs. Jackson's desire to
have a funeral commensurate with Michael Jackson's status as perhaps the
greatest entertainer who ever lived. However, on this matter, we must turn to
you to represent your clients before the court, and trust that you will have
your clients understand that the amount that the court will authorize for
reimbursement is entirely in the hands of Judge Beckloff. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Katherine Jackson's "Ex Parte Application for an order authorizing the immediate payment of funeral expenses from the Estate" dated Sep 1, 2009 stated:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Mrs. Jackson seeks an order granting the Special
Administrators the authority to make immediate payment for the funeral
expenses. Prompt action is necessary to facilitate the burial of the Decedent
as scheduled on September 3, 2009. Forest Lawn requires payment in full before it will file for the requisite
burial permit which needs to be issued in advance of the planned burial.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Only as recently as August 29, 2009 did Mrs. Jackson learn that both Forest Lawn and Glendale Police Department will not provide their services without receiving
payment <u>prior </u>to rendering those services.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Mrs. Jackson requests that the court authorize the Special Administrators
to pay the outstanding balance to the Forest Lawn and reimburse the
family member who paid the initial installment on the contract for the funeral
services.”</blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Judge Mitchell Beckloff swiftly approved all the funeral expenses asked by Katherine Jackson which is approximately $1 million. The funeral expenses were paid before the burial on Sep 3, 2009. The Estate reimbursed Janet in 2010.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At no point did the Estate or Janet Jackson make an
issue of payment for the funeral expenses. Randall Sullivan’s claim that Janet Jackson or the Estate
delayed Michael Jackson’s burial is absolutely
false.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I represent Janet Jackson. By this letter, I inform you that
an article regarding my client that first appeared on Vanity Fair’s website on
October 4, 2012 entitled “Michael Jackson’s Burial Was Delayed Because Janet
Wanted Her Burial-Plot Deposit Back” is false and defamatory. This article, as
well as the excepts from Randall Sullivan’s upcoming book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jac</i>kson,
which were published in Vanity Fair’s November 2012 issue makes statements about Ms. Jackson that have no basis in fact
and are highly damaging to Ms. Jackson’s reputation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The article states that, according to <i>Untouchable</i>, Ms
Jackson put down a $40,000 deposit to secure a burial plot for Michael Jackson
but refused to let the funeral take place until that money was repaid. This is
untrue. Ms. Jackson never delayed the funeral in any way. In fact, she paid for
the funeral and was reimbursed for some of those expenses by Michael Jackson’s
estate in the year after the services took place. In addition, there were other
private costs associated with Michael Jackson’s passing that Ms. Jackson
incurred and for which she has never sought reimbursement. To false accuse Ms. Jackson
of holding up her brother’s funeral over money is outrageous. This story is
particularly hurtful and distressing because of Ms. Jackson’s strong desire to
serve her brother, whom she loved dearly, and her wish to stand with and
support her family. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Moreover, this false and defamatory statement has been
published by numerous other media outlets around the world including the New
York Daily News and the UK-based Daily Mail Online and Huffington Post, among
many others, exacerbating the damage to Ms. Jackson’s reputation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I demand that Vanity Fair retract its statement that Ms.
Jackson “refused” to let Michael Jackson’s funeral to take place until the
money she put down as a deposit on his burial plot was repaid. To the extend
that this statement appears in the excerpts of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Untouchable</i> published in Vanity Fair’s November 2012 issue, I
demand that Vanity Fair publish a retraction explaining that the statement is
false. I also demand that Vanity Fair contact all other media and websites that
have re-published Vanity Fair’s false statement and inform them of its
retraction and its corrective statement.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The proposed scenario Michael Flanagan wants to
confirm or negate is Dr. Steven Shafer's theory that <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Murray</st1:place></st1:city> removed some Propofol from the 100ml

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">Michael Flanagan contends that if Dr.
Steven Shafer's theory is correct then the residue in the vial should
contain Lidocaine. Flanagan stated that it didn't occur to him to test the
contents of the vial because Dr. Shafer testified that he believed </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Murray</st1:place></st1:city></st1:place></st1:city></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;"> injected
Lidocaine into the Propofol vial when he was recalled at the very end of

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Propofol causes burning at the
injection site. To alleviate the burning, Conrad Murray used Lidocaine.
Lidocaine comes in cream form and the injectable liquid form. Conrad Murray
bought both kinds. So perhaps, that morning he used Lidocaine cream. Or perhaps
he injected Lidocaine via the y-port of the concoction he set up. This is substantiated
by the presence of Lidocaine in the short tubing of the IV set-up. Who knows
how Conrad Murray gave Lidocaine that morning. What we do know is that this subject is not,
AT ALL, important in the grand scheme of things.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px;">From the get-go, Conrad Murray’s defense </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px;">centered around accusing Michael Jackson of causing his own death - albeit their stories ever-changing. First they said Mr. Jackson drank Propofol. When
science proved that drinking Propofol wouldn’t cause death, they claimed Mr.
Jackson self injected Propofol. Upon no Michael Jackson fingerprints on either
the syringe or the propofol vial, the defense moved onto their Lorazepam theory which was refuted by the prosecution</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The testing of propofol vial is Conrad
Murray grasping at straws. EVEN IF Michael Jackson did cause his demise, Conrad
Murray would still have been guilty. Prosecution witness Dr Steven Shafer was
left to postulate various theories because Conrad Murray didn’t maintain any
records of his “insomnia treatment with Propofol.” The prosecution doesn’t have
to exactly pinpoint how Conrad Murray killed Michael Jackson.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

final offers. A Sony-led consortium won the bidding with $320 million upfront
towards its $2.2 billion purchase. Sony announced its EMI Publishing
acquisition in November 2011. Other investors in the Sony-led group include the
Estate of Michael Jackson, Mubadala Development Co., Jynwel Capital, the
Blackstone Group and David Geffen. </span></div>

<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13.0pt;">Martin Bandier is a man with great passion for Music Catalogs. In 1985, he was one of the bidders for the ATV Catalog (Beatles Catalog). He lost it Michael Jackson, thanks to John Branca's negotiating skills. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 17px;">Before joining Sony in April 2007, Martin
Bandier spent 17 years building EMI into a publishing powerhouse as its then CEO. In late 2005, Mr. Bandier asked EMI to sell him its
publishing unit. The company declined and Mr. Bandier resigned in October 2006.
Six months later, he took over as the CEO of Sony/ATV. </span><br />

While Sony has suffered major setbacks in its other units, music publishing has been its crown jewel, bringing in about $500 million annual revenue. Beside substantial royalty income, ownership of copyrights ensures that the songs can be used in any Sony production without having to pay licensing fees. Sony is, one of the few media companies that house publishing, recording, film and video gaming under one roof.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Gloved One would have turned 54 year young

proved, since her son’s death, that her integrity and loyalty are for sale.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Latoya, her boyfriend Jeffre Phillips

The Jackson family moved out of Gary, Indiana to LA in 1968. Aside from two <st1:city w:st="on">Jackson</st1:city> 5
concerts in 1971, the ONLY time Michael returned to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Gary </st1:city></st1:place>was on Jun 11, 2003. He didn't stay long, making a quick appearance at the City Hall.<br />
<br />
The mayor presented Michael with a key to the city,
saying “now that you have the key,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
you don’t have to be a stranger”<br />
<br />
The mayor then
“proposed” partnering with Michael in building a <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Michael</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Jackson</st1:placename>

<st1:placetype w:st="on">Center</st1:placetype></st1:place> but Michael wasn’t interested so it was never built.<br />
<br />
Michael Jackson never returned
to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Gary....</st1:city></st1:place></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through the years, the mayor, directly and indirectly through Joe, solicited Michael with ideas to draw fans to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Gary</st1:place></st1:city> but Michael declined. Over his dead body
now, <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Gary</st1:place></st1:city> is
using Michael Jackson for “tourism”. And it stoops to exploiting his children under the guise of “honoring” him. Anyone who thinks honoring
Michael involves flashing cameras directed at his children need a
course in Michael Jackson 101.<br />
<br />
The 4-day celebration is being dubbed as "Goin' Back to
<st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Indiana</st1:place></st1:state>: Can
You Feel It?" The only thing I feel is the vomit in my mouth. It seems that
Katherine KEEPS “going back to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Indiana</st1:state></st1:place>”
after Michael's death. Before, Gary was forgotten. <span class="Apple-style-span">It’s bad enough she turns </span>Michael's<span class="Apple-style-span"> birthday into an
undignified circus, she exploits his children</span>– you know, the
ones he took extreme measures to shield from public.<br />
<br />
Oh the horror, the horror. The blizzard of flashing lights in their faces such a young age would horrify Michael. No
child, let alone the children of the man who tried so hard to prevent this from
happening should be exposed to this madness. It’s like Katherine Jackson either
didn’t hear a word her son said or she doesn’t care.<br />

On August 29<sup>th</sup>, Katherine Jackson was expected to
make an appearance at a Press Conference but she was a no-show. She sent 2
MINORS to fulfill her adult duties that she signed on. Gary Mayor gave Prince and Paris Jackson tacky tshirts.<br />
How are these t-shirts relevant to Michael Jackson’s birthday? They look
like they came from a Dollar Store and they are aimed to promote Gary, Indiana.<br />

the press conference, all 3 had to sign autographs for a large
crowd shoving stuff in their faces to sign. If Katherine is intent on exploiting her son, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">then let <i>her</i> sign her own damn autographs! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">With this type of upbringing, Katherine is encouraging media intrusion and Michael's children are condemned to suffer the same fate their father did - living in a fishbowl.</span><br />

children and you are over-exposed, you’ll be scrutinized. The entire world will comment on every little misstep. You'll be made to feel weird, bizarre, crazy, different. <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Paris</st1:place></st1:city> has as

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">Michael Jackson grew up, burdened with adult responsibilities. In
1995, he released what he described as “the most autobiographical song I’ve
ever written” titled</span> “</span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">Have You Seen My Childhood?” He often lamented
about his childhood. Even in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4obImkHgck">the slurred voice recording</a>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">TMZ deleted the story the same day after receiving a letter </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Blair Brown:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">“I represent Janet Jackson. </span></span>By this letter, I inform
you that an article regarding my client that appeared on TMZ.com on August 14,
2012 is false and defamatory. That article is 'Michael Jackson Estate Offers to
Pay for Janet Jackson's Condo'.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"> </span></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Specifically, the article states that the
Estate of Michael Jackson filed documents in the probate court requesting that
the estate be permitted 'to foot a portion of the bill on Janet's mortgage on
her posh <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Las Vegas</st1:place></st1:city></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">
condo'. That statement is false. I have not located any such request in the probate court records and in any event, the Las Vegas Home has never had a mortgage. Had TMZ bothered to check with any of Ms Jackson's representatives before running the story, it would have learnt that Ms Jackson purchased the home outright ten years ago for her mother's use. It would have learn that the home is not a "condo"; it's a luxury home in a gated community. It would have learnt that there is no mortgage on the home. It would have learnt that Ms Jackson was not aware of any request of payments from the estate related to the home and that she does not want any such payments to be made from the estate. It would have learnt that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;">Ms Jackson provided financial support unconditionally to her mother before and after Michael's death and will continue to do so. But TMZ did not bother to ask for an input from Janet's representatives. </span></span></div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moreover, the article's intended implications that Ms Jackson demanded the payments from the estate and needs payments from the estate are false and outrageous. Ever since she was a child, Ms Jackson supported herself. She is a successful artist and very high net worth individual who has never had financial problems. She has no need for any such payments from the estate. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I demand that TMZ retract its statements that the Michael Jackson estate has requested that it be permitted "to foot the portion of the bill on Janet's mortgage on her posh Las Vegas condo." I further demand that TMZ correct the false implication that it has created by expressly declaring that Ms. Jackson has not requested any payment from the estate </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you know TMZ admitted that a story that it posted three weeks ago regarding Ms. Jackson contained false statements about her. The false statement contained in that story were repeated hundreds, if not thousand, times on other websites and in other media. The additional false story this week about Ms. Jackson on TMZ.com, posted with the knowledge that it would be repeated on
hundreds of other websites, demonstrates a pattern of reckless
disregard for the truth in TMZ's reporting on Ms. Jackson and strongly suggests
that TMZ is engaged in a malicious campaign to defame her."</span></span></blockquote>

continues her descent into post-career madness: she’s charging her mother for
use of her <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Las Vegas</st1:place></st1:city>
condo. Katherine Jackson has asked the Michael Jackson estate to increase her
cost of living expenses so she can travel to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Las Vegas</st1:place></st1:city> and stay in Janet’s condo, which
the “What Have You Done For Me Lately?” singer doesn’t live in or use. TMZ
incorrectly reported–then removed–a story that Mrs. Jackson asked the estate to
pay Janet’s mortgage. Untrue. Mrs. Jackson travels to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Gary</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Indiana</st1:state></st1:place>,
where she still maintains a home. And she likes to stay in Vegas. The estate
will tell the probate court in its next report that they’re giving Mrs. Jackson
funds to use for these stays. Janet — since the battles this summer over
Michael’s estate–refuses to be generous enough to her mother, sources say, and
just provide for her at the condo. “There’s no way the estate would ever pay
Janet’s mortgage,” laughed an insider. But my question is: what is Janet
Jackson’s financial situation that she’s become so publicly unglued over money?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;">When he passed away on June 25, 2009,
Michael Jackson left behind three minor children. The court appointed his
mother Katherine as their guardian.</span></div>

days, the children’s heartbreaking outcries, a missing persons report, a
physical altercation & police involvement, Katherine’s guardianship was
suspended on July 25, 2012</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;">No amount of media storm or police
involvement led Katherine to calling home to assuage her grandchildren’s
concerns. But the loss of $70,000 per month as the children’s stipend did the trick.
Katherine came out of the shadows, swiftly & predictably, when her
guardianship was on the line. HLN’s Jane Velez Mitchell put it the
best: “whoever controls the kids, controls the money.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">On August 2, 2012, Katherine’s attorneys filed a motion to
have her guardianship reinstated. How could the lioness feed the entire <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jackson</st1:place></st1:city> “cubs” on her
stipend only? God forbid, she lost her grandchildren’s $70,000/mo stipend. The
fact that Katherine was motivated by money in seeking her guardianship
reinstated is reflected in her attorney Perry Sanders’ statement:</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“It will empower TJ to take joint legal responsibility
for day to day duties such as the management of household personnel. Mrs.
Jackson would remain in control of the children's <u>family allowance</u>.” </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">By “the children’s family allowance” Perry Sanders means that
the monies that are meant to be spent on <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Paris</st1:place></st1:city>,
Prince and Blanket are being spent on “the family” as in Katherine’s dead-beat children & their families.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">In her court filing, her attorneys attached a sworn
declaration by Katherine. She impeached her ABC video statement, now
feigning ignorance. Katherine’s sworn declaration completely contradicts her
video statement. She now claims:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">
<li><b>On her disappearance: </b>She was tricked into leaving <st1:state w:st="on">California. She thought she was leaving</st1:state> to see her sons’ Unity Concert in New Mexico but when she got off the plane, she found herself in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Arizona</st1:state></st1:place>.</li>
</span></ul>
<ul style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">
<li><b>On why she didn’t call her grandchildren for 10 days:</b> Her
cell phone and Ipad was taken away. The landline in her room wasn’t
functioning. The TV in her room wasn’t functioning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[I wonder if the kitchen sink was working in
this high end Resort. The things that are allegedly not functioning are too
convenient.]</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Katherine Jackson HAD TO lie in her sworn declaration if she
wanted a shot at getting her guardianship reinstated. A guardian voluntarily
not checking on the children she is legally obligated to guard would have been
grounds for the denial of her reinstatement. Delegating the house staff and TJ
to look after the kids in her absence wouldn’t have helped her because they
are not the legal guardians.</span></div>

“On July 15, 2012, I was scheduled to leave with my
nephew in an RV to attend my sons’ concerts. On July 14, 2012 a doctor was
brought to my home stating that he has been in contact with my longtime
physician and was coming to check on me because my personal physician was
unavailable. The doctor advised that it was better for me to fly and not drive
to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Mexico</st1:place></st1:state>.
Believing that the doctor was sent at the request of the longtime personal physician,
I followed what I understood to be doctor’s orders and boarded a flight as
opposed to driving in the RV. I am very close to my grandson TJ and
have relied on him to help me raise Prince, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Paris</st1:city></st1:place> and Blanket since the death of their
father. While I was away, I assumed that Prince, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Paris</st1:city></st1:place> and Blanket would be safe in the hands
of the person who had essentially been acting as an informal co-guardian.” ~KATHERINE JACKSON DECLARATION</div>

Katherine Jackson was getting ready to leave for a much anticipated road trip
in the RV her son Michael bought for her to watch her sons perform on their
Unity Tour. Prior to her departure, a doctor was brought to her home and
represented that he had been sent from the office of her longtime physician.
Based on this representation, Mrs. Jackson agreed to meet with the doctor who
subsequently ordered her to fly rather than drive to her sons’ concerts. Mrs.
Jackson followed what she believed to be her doctor’s instructions. During what
was to be a brief trip, Mrs. Jackson left her son Michael’s children, of whom
she is guardian, in the care of her adult grandsons.” </div>

The parallel flow in the account of events and the mention
of insignificant details (RV, the doctor etc) in both Katherine’s declaration and
the statements made by her attorneys in her absence shows that Katherine’s
declaration is in fact her attorneys’ declaration. Especially in light of the fact that the declaration is contradictory to Katherine's video statement.</div>

police visited Katherine and spoke to her in regards to the missing persons

very much aware of the chaos surrounding her disappearance. It shows how cold
and heartless she is that even police involvement didn’t move Katherine to alleviate
her grandchildren’s outcries. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;">How is
Katherine talking to Michael’s children interferes with her rest? Why didn’t

In 2009, Katherine indeed objected to the validity of the
alleged Michael Jackson Will. She made it clear that she would pursue legal
action to contest the alleged Will filed by John Branca. Then she was
discouraged because of the non-contest clause in the Will. As per the clause,
if she contested the Will in court but lost her case, she would lose all her
benefits. But the judge made an exception for Katherine. He ruled that
Katherine CAN contest the Will and if she lost her case, she would NOT lose her
benefit. Despite of this golden opportunity, to her children’s and husband’s
dismay, Katherine decided NOT to contest the Will. Whilst the reasons for her
decision isn’t clear to anyone but her, one can only surmise that John Branca
paying off the mortgage of her Encino home (she was facing foreclosure), paying
off her Segye Times debt (which had been dragging for decades), handing out
“loans” to her with no question could be her incentives. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">
In the last 3 years, Katherine Jackson's relationship with the Executors of her son’s Estate has been rather complicated. She
appears to want to be in the good graces of the executors considering they hold
the purse strings but she constantly rocks the boat when doing the bidding
of her business partners and her children. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">
Katherine seemed to go whichever direction she is pulled at
a given moment. She praises the Estate Executors, endorses the Estate business
deals and participates in events, sitting next to John Branca. But she
continuously engages in partnership with business people who illegally exploits
the Estate’s property—Michael Jackson name and likeness. Katherine has
publically supported people that the Estate is litigating and at times, she has
bashed the Executors to do so. </div>

At this point, noone but Katherine knows what truly happened
in her 10 day absence. But because she is extremely protective of her children
and also because of the Jackson Family code of silence, we will never know the truth.
What we do know is that all the parties involved in this feud—be it the MJ
Estate Executors & those in Katherine’s camp doing their bidding or be it
the Jackson siblings—everyone is motivated by either gaining control of
Michael’s money or maintaining the control of Michael’s money.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11.5pt;">
Don’t you, for one second, believe that this is about the welfare
of Michael’s children—as you will often hear them profess. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">If they cared about Michael’s children, why contest a Will that leaves
everything to the children?</b> Because the Will excludes the siblings. And if
they can invalidate John Branca for fraud, his executorship for 2002 Will as
well as his executership for the 1997 Will will be invalidated. Which means,
Michael will be declared intestate (died without a Will), which means Katherine
loses all her benefits and everything goes to the children but because the
children are minors, the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jacksons</st1:place></st1:city>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;">When Michael died, his Estate was $500 million in debt. There was
no money. Say what you will about John Branca but he is THE BEST in his field. He inherited an Estate in debt and turned it
into a gold pot. It is no coincidence that the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;"><st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jacksons</st1:place></st1:city></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;"> asked the Executors to resign only A
WEEK AFTER it is reported in the media that the Executors not only paid the
$500 million debt but made a whopping $500 million profit. That is 1 BILLION DOLLAR
INCOME in 3 years</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;"> —</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px;">unprecedented.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I
found it bizarre that an entertainment show host, after attending a memorable Jackson Concert where the
brothers </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">re-united after three decades, tweets about <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Paris</st1:place></st1:city> dancing. What I noticed immediately
was that Mr. Frazier tweeted seconds ago and he did NOT @msg his tweet to
Jermaine. How did Jermaine possibly saw Mr Frazier’s tweet within seconds
after it was tweeted? Perhaps, I thought, Jermaine was following Kevin Frazier and that tweet about Paris just ended up on his timeline. What a good timing of Jermaine, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I thought, coming across this very convenient tweet seconds after it was tweeted. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I checked all 84 of Jermaine's "following" list to find that he is NOT following Kevin Frazier.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jermaine's subsequent tweets (above image) immediately and clearly revealed his agenda. This bird-brain whose mom and dad are apparently first
cousins adds insult to injury by affronting public’s intelligence! Seeing that
his earlier “statement” failed miserably, Jermaine resort to a mind game. He asked Kevin Frazier to tweet about Paris and Mrs Jackson. Perhaps they were next to each other when they executed this machination. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

It was written by Mr. Jackson’s murky business manager Tohme. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">It’s also important to note that in 2008, Mr. Jackson was in dire financial straits, on the precipice of losing Neverland. Surely he wouldn’t gift such a valuable art collection—reportedly worth a whopping $900 million. In comparison, the Sony/ATV Catalog is worth $1 billion. Mr. Jackson owns only half of the Catalog. So this art collection that Tohme gifted to Brett Livingstone worth MORE than his stake in the Sony/ATV Catalog. It make NO sense that Michael Jackson--or Tohme who was supposed to have his client's financial wellbeing in mind--would give away a $900 million collection when Mr. Jackson couldn't come up with $23.5M to pay his Neverland loan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Another important point to note is that around the same time that he gifted Mr. Jackson's art to Brett Livingstone, Tohme consigned “all movable and removable personal property from Neverland Ranch” to an auction home—without Mr. Jackson’s knowledge. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Piers Morgan's Imcompetent Interview Skills</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not long ago, Piers Morgan got into a heated debate with Touré who accused Piers of being a piss poor journalist who conducted an incompetent interview with George Zimmerman’s brother. Touré's words were ringing in my ears last night while watching Piers Morgan interview with Katherine Jackson & Brett Livingstone. If someone comes </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">to me with a hangar full of Michael Jackson drawings for which he’s claiming ownership, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">the very fundamental question I’d ask is how he came to own the collection. It was obvious that Piers Morgan could have benefited from a simple google search before his interview. He was utterly unprepared and the opportunity to ask hard-hitting questions was wasted. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Brett Livingstone told Piers that he had, in his posession 98 pieces by Michael Jackson. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">In an <em>LA Weekly</em> interview dated April 2011, this number was "150 to 160 pieces". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">The July 2011 interview by <em>Star,</em> which acquired an appraisal for the collection, reported </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">182 pieces. It's troublesome that the size of the art collection is <span class="st">substantially </span>diminished. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><strong>“Michael always wanted to exhibit his art, unfortunately that didn’t happen. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><u>HE DID WANNA SELL IT</u>. A few pieces were sold before his passing"</strong> said </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Brett Livingstone in last night's interview with Piers Morgan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">This remark should come in handy for Michael Jackson Estate Executers. If it was indeed Michael's wish to have his art exhibited then his wish should be honored. If he wanted to “sell” his art then why would he give it away? If Michael Jackson indeed signed away his paintings to Brett Livingstone in 2008, was it to protect them from bankruptcy? Was it an arrangement to, in fact, secure the art collection? Who sold "a few pieces" while Michael was alive? The only piece sold was "The Book" in 1992. Did Brett Livingstone sell "a few pieces" without Mr. Jackson's knowledge when he was alive? Is there a documentation accurately depicting the number of painting by Mr. Jackson? Brett Livingstone should be prepared give an account of every single painting to the Michael Jackson Estate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Michael Jackson Estate vs Brett Livingstone</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Brett Livingstone claims that Mr. Jackson wanted to build a monument in <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Las Vegas</place></city> “where he wanted his fans to get married.” Mr. Livingstone aspires to sell the art collection to fund the monument—but not if the Estate Executers have any say in it. & Lucky for Michael Jackson children—rightful owners of the art collection—they do. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">An unknown “international businessman” reportedly put down a payment of $37.7 million to secure the art collection and agreed to pay another $50 million upon the receipt of a release from the Michael Jackson Estate which isn’t forthcoming. Why is a reportedly $900 million worth art collection being sold for only $87.7 million? Who received the $37.7 million? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">When asked by Piers Morgan how many pieces he had, Brett Livingstone said <strong>"I own.."</strong> he then paused and pointed to Katherine Jackson and said <strong>"WE own 98 pieces".</strong> How did Katherine Jackson came into co-ownership of these paintings? Is there a Jackson hand in the gold pot that received $37.7 million and plans to profit further from the art collection?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In a legal maneuver which no doubt aims to reclaim Michael’s collection of art from Brett Livingstone, the Estate Executers are challenging Tohme’s power of attorneys. If the judge finds for the Executers then the Estate will gain ownership of the art collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So why did Katherine grant this interview, seemingly siding with Brett Livingstone when </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">her son’s Estate is trying to recover the art collection for the keepsake of Michael’s children—you know, the very children whose welfare she is entrusted to uphold? Well, for the same reason she granted an interview with ‘Good Morning America’ in February 2011 siding with Melissa Johnson whom the Michael Jackson Estate is litigating: because Katherine has been putting her own welfare ahead of the wellbeing of Paris, Prince & Blanket. Not a huge leap since she put her interests ahead of her own children to begin with. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Katherine’s interview with Piers Morgan was designed to garner public support for a man who most likely acquired the art collection fraudulently. He may have even sold “a few pieces” fraudulently. It’s crucial to note that when Howard Mann </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">asked Tohme to sign an affidavit, swearing to the veracity of the letter he sent to Brett Livingstone, Tohme refused. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Katherine Jackson was asked what caused her son’s death. She said “I don’t know. All I know is that they used propoTol.” Strangers with no familial relation to Michael Jackson can recite by ♥ the drugs and the levels in Michael’s body. Katherine wobbled to the courthouse almost every day yet she doesn’t even know the name of the drug that killed her son. Where was she when “Propofol” was used day in and day out? In my opinion, it's because Katherine doesn't care about Michael Jackson like a son--or a human being. All she knows is that there is glitch in her ATM card that requires her to go through 2 Executers! None of the Jacksons are as well-versed in Mr. Jackson's life as much as fans who, unlike some people, care about Michael! Is it her age? Is Katherine Jackson senile? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">If yes then why leave her to her own device to enter into business deals with crooks? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">She didn't know Jordy Chandler’s name, she asked Piers what his name was. Katherine regurgitated a false story that allegedly Jordy retracted his allegations against Michael—which isn’t true. This is all so embarrassing. I am utterly embarrassed that the mother of the King of Pop is so ignorant, so greedy, so uncharitable, so ineloquent and so embarrasing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Katherine then conceded “<strong>I don't think that Michael would have wanted Paris </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>to be out there this soon but</strong> she wanted it [acting] so badly. She kept saying 'Please, Grandma!' so I just gave in and said okay.” I'm glad Mama Greed let us in on her train of thought in arriving such a monumental decision! </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">If the children could decide what’s best for them then a judge wouldn't have appointed a guardian AND a guardian ad litem for them. Katherine has been raising Michael’s children against his parental wishes. To hear her express awareness of this fact is just a slap on the face & a huge disappointment!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I really try my darndest to be respectful of Michael’s Family…for HIS sake but my efforts go south when nothing they do is respect-worthy. I don't know about you but I am not in the business of handing out respect to people based on their connection to Michael Jackson. Take Michael out of the equation. Tell me now, what is respect-worthy about Katherine?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">She briefly worked one job in her 82 year lifespan…part time at Sears. By the time Michael was 7, he and his brothers were the bread-winners, working all night at local and out of town venues (including stripclubs), returning home just in time for school. Jermaine wrote in his book that Katherine lied blatantly in her book about not knowing that her children were working in strip clubs. It seems her Jehovah Witness beliefs can be modified to suit Mama Greed's needs!!! The brothers would often doze off in the class. When they got home from the school, the children would perform house chores, followed by grueling rehearsals. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">By this time, Katherine wasn’t working, the house chores were done by the children </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">and she idly watched her children oiled and whipped like animals. So tell me, what was Katherine’s job in that house as a mom? I mean, I keep hearing what a great mom she is. Really? After all, even dogs procreate. There is a difference between a mom & a Mother</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">—as her children call her. Katherine Jackson didn’t take care of her “cubs” but rather her cubs, particularly Michael Jackson, have taken care of her. She is used to living a privileged lifestyle without earning her living--even if it means expoiliting her dead son or grandkids. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael Jackson died on Jun 25, 2009. He was buried on Sep 3, 2009—that is 71 days that Michael’s lifeless body laid in a cold morgue drawer. There was NO valid reason why he wasn't laid to rest! Perhaps, because you are SO emotonally tied to Katherine Jackson that your sensibilities aren't kicking in. Let's imagine Cissy Houston abandoning Whitney Houston in a morgue drawer for 2 months—for no reason whatsoever. I love Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. May they rest in Peace. But I was hurt watching Whitney's "going home service." She was laid to rest within a week— because an autopsy had to be performed. My heart wanted a "going home service" for beloved Michael Jackson. I will never forgive Katherine for letting an autopsied body of Michael Jackson lay in some drawer for 2 months! Is this even in accordance with her Jehovah Witness beliefs? Bless her greedy heart, she didn’t let laying her son to rest interfere with her pursuit of money. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Joseph started exploiting his son’s death only 3 days after Michael’s death at BET awards. Jermaine trusted himself into spotlight with a bogus “tribute” in <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Vienna</place></city>, claiming that the proceedings of this event would go to a charity. <strong>Because as you know, when you think of charitable deeds, you automatically think of the Jacksons, particularly Jermaine.</strong> Jermaine was selling tickets under false advertising, promising appearances by celebrities who, one by one, released statements that they weren’t involved in Jermaine’s “tribute”. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">To counter the adverse reporting of his event by the media, Jermaine held a Press Conference on Sep 9, 2009— six days after Michael was buried. Jermaine exploited Michael’s children as ticket boosters by saying “the children will be there.” He denied reports that Katherine was against his "tribute". He topped all this load of sh*t with crocodile tears. Jermaine, as usual, went crying to mommy who released a video—2 days after Jermaine's Press Conference and 8 days after she buried her ATM card.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">When Jermaine was exposed as a fraud (the so-called charity he cited was in fact a corporation owned by his wife Halima’s father), he was forced to cancel the event. Little did we know, this incident would portend an never-ending string of dubious business endeavors based on selling Michael Jackson’s death. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In hindsight, it makes total sense as to why Katherine didn't have any qualms in endorsing Jermaine’s fraudulent Vienna Tribute with his non-existent charity. This woman is the mother of ‘The Greatest Entertainer of all Time’ who was a very altruistic man. Seeing how greedy his Family is makes Michael Jackson’s generous heart that much laudable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you delude yourself into thinking that in the honor of her son, this Mother would try to carry on Michael's charitable legacy in her remaining days, you’d be dead wrong. There is no low low enough for Katherine Jackson as she resorts to anything and everything to make a buck that she doesn’t have to work for!!! She is not gonna let a thing like fraud or the welfare of 3 young children to get into her way of eating off of her son’s corpse!!!</span></div>

Katherine wasn’t the one constantly rehearsing and travelling. Michael was. She wasn’t “finding time” to take her spiritually needy son to the Kingdom Hall; she was making sure that he went there with her, stayed by her side and became one of the faithful.

When one of the boys missed a step, he got whipped. Where was Katherine when this was going on? In the background, looking sad; </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">in the foreground, trying to placate—afterward to attend to the beaten child’s hurt. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Latoya was the first <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Jackson</city></place> child to expose Joe’s physical abuse but Michael is a master at passive aggressive paternal payback. He has his own way of dealing blows that leave no obvious marks. In one of those deft underhanded jibes Michael regularly directs at Joseph, he gives Katherine the kind of praise one usually gives the father who provides for his family. “There isn’t one of us who’s ever forgotten what a hard worker and a great provider she was” he wrote, pointedly setting up an alternative to Joseph who turned the home into a 24/7 sweatshop. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Joseph and Katherine Jackson pushed 5 sons to stardom and 1 to superstardom. They also created a group of emotionally dependent adults with damaged egos. Years of sibling rivalry had to be suppressed onstage and denied offstage. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jermaine:</b> The brother thrice denied his chance—his right, as <em>he</em> sees it—to be a star: by his father, by his brother and by his boss, Berry Gordy. The only one Michael called “ a big brother to me.” It was Jermaine who walked him to the kindergarten, Jermaine whose hand-me-downs he wore. Jermaine was the brother Michael watched as a fledgling performer. From the first rehearsals in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Gary</city></place>, Jermaine had been at Michael’s left. When <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Jackson</place></city> left Motown and Jermaine decided to stay, Michael was desolate. But as Michael carefully adds, on the night Jermaine announced his departure from the group, the remaining brothers went back onstage and got not one, not two but three standing ovations. Jermaine was to have neither a happy marriage nor a well-run solo career. He came to see Michael’s eventual triumph as a betrayal. And he learned to play Judas. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Michael:</b> Without him, the others would hardly matter. A child prodigy makes life so hard for his siblings. He gets most of the attention without even trying. The others never stopped trying; they are always struggling to find an identity that matters to others and themselves. If they manage, they must accept the fact that their hard-won identity may yield a few rewards. Michael was gutsy. The only one who stood up to Joseph’s bullying. The older brothers took their punishment in silence then fussed when Joseph was safely gone. Talk about doing back-up when your little brother is singing the lead!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once Michael was no longer a child, he would construct his own various families according to particular and exacting specifications. First he brought together exotic animals, cartoon figures and mannequins. Then for parental and sibling figures to replace the tarnished ones he’d grown up with: Sammy Davis Jr., Fred Astaire, Jane Fonda, Liza Minnelli, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor—every one of them a lost boy or a girl, ripped untimely from a normal childhood by stardom or family tragedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then he went from kitsch and celebrity to children. The famous were first—Emmanuel Lewis and Macaulay Culkin. The unknown followed—the sick, the helpless, the needy coming to Neverland to frolic and be fed. He would be mother and father, a miracle worker. He would do at Neverland what ordinary parents <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">should</i> but would not or could not do for their children. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">A misinformation that emanated from the Michael Jackson fan community following his death has travelled across the Internet sites and landed on various books by conspiracy theorists such as Leonard Rowe, Latoya Jackson and Jermaine Jackson. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">“AEG gets really slick in this promissory note because the note is collateralized not by Michael Jackson the artist but by Michael Jackson Company LLC. Why is this? More than likely it is because Michael Jackson’s business holdings, which would <u>include his publishing rights and catalogue are owned by Michael Jackson Company LLC</u> and not Michael Jackson the artist. So if the promissory note is defaulted upon, the assets of the Michael Jackson Company, LLC get forked over to AEG” wrote Leonard Rowe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“His contract with AEG meant that if he failed to perform, he would be liable for all the production costs and lost revenue, meaning his assets— and most notably, <u>his Sony/ATV Catalog</u>—were up for the taking. If This Is It Tour didn’t happen, AEG could have laid claim to the catalogue” wrote Jermaine Jackson in his book.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">This misinformation is so ubiquitous that the Conrad Murray Defense attorneys who seemingly rely on online sources without fact-checking often cite it as a fact. They used this misinformation to summon Michael Jackson financial books—which judge Pastor astutely rejected because Mr. Jackson’s finances is irrelevant to the primary causal focus of the events that transpired on June 25, 2009. The defense team, however, begs to differ. Exclusion of Mr. Jackson’s financial records out of the Trial denied Conrad Murray of a fair trial, they contend and this claim is one of the grounds for their ongoing appeal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">“The crux of the defense is going to be that Jackson did a desperate act and took desperate measures that caused his own death” declared lead defense attorney Ed Chernoff during April 6, 2011 court hearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Mr. Jackson’s greatest asset happens to be music catalogs. He was actually in more debt as a result of the concert. The Estate has information about what Jackson actually was facing if he didn’t complete these concerts” he continued, hinting that had Michael Jackson failed to perform in O2 Tour—assuming he was alive-- then AEG would’ve foreclosed on his prized music catalogs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">“Michael Jackson had backed himself into a corner and had Conrad Murray walked away, not only would Michael Jackson been $400 million in debt, <u>he would have lost the catalog</u>. He would have been penniless” asserted Mark Fierro, Conrad Murray spokesperson, on Piers Morgan Show of CNN on November 29, 2011. </span></div>

The following is an email from John Branca to MJOnlineTeam GM, Jeff Jampol in regards to the Mijac Catalog that John Branca wows "will absolutely be passed to Michael's children.......as long as we have anything to say about it." Interesting choice of words considering John Branca has "total control" of the Michael Jackson Estate and does have total and final say about the sale of Michael's Catalogs.<br />

<br />
I understand that you are being asked a lot of questions about Mijac.<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, there is a matching right that Michael granted to Sony/ATV but they only
get to administer the catalog for a limited term AND only if they agree to
unprecedented favorable terms. We will not relinquish ultimate control and
ownership to anyone. We have favorably refinanced the loans on Mijac which will
be paid off and the catalog WILL absolutely be passed to Michael's children as
long as we have anything to say about it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Sony/ATV is a great company and the Estate owns half of it but no one, not even
Sony/ATV, will ever own Mijac while John McClain and I remain in charge.<br />
<br />
The current Sony team is the one Michael chose to work with on the
Thriller 25 release and they are good partners. As stated in the recent court
filings, they worked with us to refinance the burdensome debt that had been
placed on Michael's interest in Sony/ATV to very favorable terms, an important
achievement which insures that Mijac and Michael’s masters remain secure for
the benefit of Michael's children for years to come.<br />
<br />
I would appreciate your sharing this with the fans that are asking questions. Thanks.<br />

The Family’s lame excuses as to why they weren’t included in Michael’s life vary. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sometimes they cite Michael’s busy schedule yet Michael was never busy for the people </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">he wanted in his life. Jermaine wrote in his book that “Michael didn’t carry a cell phone” but this wasn’t an issue with the people Michael wanted in his life. Chandler <strong>Family</strong>, Robson <strong>Family</strong>, Malnik <strong>Family</strong>, Cascio <strong>Family</strong>, Arvizo <strong>Family</strong>, Bhatti <strong>Family</strong> and other honorary families were part of Michael’s life irrespective of his busy schedule or chaotic life. Michael befriended surrogate families to fill the void in his life in the shape of a Family that he never had. Michael had people he grew up with under the same roof, people who leaned on him to a degree of burden but he didn't have a Family to lean on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Other times, the Jacksons reason they were blocked out of Michael’s life unbeknownst to Michael by his handlers. Since the 1980s, the Jacksons blamed Bill Bray, Frank Dileo, John Branca, Evvy Tavasci, Bob Jones, Grace Rwaramba, Raymone Bain, Tohme Tohme and ever-changing security staff for deliberately alienating them out of Michael’s life. Yet when the handlers advised Michael against befriending youngsters, Michael told them to beat it. The Jacksons weren't included in Michael's life because Michael didn't want to include them in his life. <strong>Notice that throughout his life, the handlers around Mr. Jackson changes but the exclusion of the Jackson Family out of Mr. Jackson's life remains constant.</strong></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael Jackson wasn’t built to face his family—or anyone, for that purpose—to personally inform them that they weren’t welcome into his life. Michael wasn't confrontational. Instead, he delegated his staff to do HIS bidding.His staff was always instructed to keep the Jacksons at a comfortable distance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jermaine wrote “between our last tour ending in Dec 1984 and 1992, the family saw Michael sporadically, say three to four times a year in those eight years. His move to the Santa Ynez Valley only made matters worse: We grew used to this foreigner called distance moving between us and making itself at home.” (Page 279)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael moved out of the Family’s Encino Home in 1988. Even when he resided under the same roof, “this foreigner called distance” was ever-present between Michael and his Family. This is the period Michael felt so lonely that he literally asked strangers on the street to be his friend. For those times, Jermaine cites “artistic need for space.” <strong>If Michael needed space then why would he ask strangers for camaraderie?</strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is always some lame excuse to explain away why the self professed tight-knit Family wasn’t in fact tight-knit with Michael Jackson. It is exasperating to watch them either feign ignorance about Michael's detachment or to blame outsiders for it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">There were various reasons why Mr. Jackson had to disconnect with his family. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Chief among them was that t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he Jackson Family viewed Michael Jackson as a human commodity—they still do. Every time a Jackson reached out to Michael, it was to ask something of him. Receiving the same treatment from his own family as he did from outsiders who always regarded him as a human commodity deeply saddened Michael. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In a world in which the details of his private life garnered lucrative going rate, his Family was a liability for Michael Jackson. He felt that some Family members were selling stories to tabloids—and they were—stipulating anonymity. He was also paranoid that they would write tell-alls. <b>Practically strangers to Michael Jackson, Jermaine and Latoya filled books with what little they were privy to. Can you fathom the contents of their books if they were privy to more?</b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But nothing was more emotionally taxing to Michael than being coerced into business endeavors. This started in 1977 and it continued until he died. Right before he died, the Jacksons were in the process of coercing Michael into a Family Reunion show in Texas. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jermaine promises the reader all access into “the private Michael Jackson”. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The problem with this promise is two-fold: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">(1) Jermaine doesn’t know “the private Michael Jackson”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">(2) ALL Michael Jackson wanted was his privacy! </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The book is described: “Jermaine knows the real Michael. In this raw, honest and poignant account, he reveals Michael the private person, <u>not</u> Michael the King of Pop.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The book description continues: “he provides a rare glimpse into the complex heart, mind, and soul of a brilliant but sometimes troubled <u>entertainer</u>.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The next paragraph goes “You Are Not Alone is the book for anyone trying to make sense of the <u>artist</u> whose death was so premature.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Is this book about “Michael the private person” or “Michael the King of Pop”?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The identity conflict of Jermaine’s book is dual: class and content.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the back of the book, it is classified as “biography & autobiography” yet it is advertised as a “tribute memoir.” The content of the tome only adds to the confusion. Whilst Jermaine conveniently skips monumental events of his life for this book to be an autobiography, he includes trivial events from his life with no value to a tribute memoir. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Jermaine Jackson:</strong> Yes. ‘Legacy: Surviving the Best and Worst.’ Meeting with publishers seeing can we go that extra mile.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jermaine was turned down by publishers because the book didn’t have dirt in it so he fixed this marketing hiccup by adding scandalous dirt about Michael Jackson. Jermaine’s first literary attempt to ride on Michael’s coattails came to a screeching halt when Michael found out about it. Jermaine assigned the blame squarely on his ghost writer—the same cowardly route he now takes, blaming LA Reid & Babyface for ‘Word to the Badd’. Although Jermaine Jackson’s first book—titled Legacy—was aborted before it saw the daylight, he retained the manuscript and the interview tapes where Stacy Brown interviewed Jermaine for the book. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">is the brains behind 1992 TV Program “the Jacksons: an American Dream” for which the Family members gave intimate interviews to be used for the script.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Due to these two resources, in the first segment of Jermaine’s book—which is until </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">‘Word to the Badd’ era—the narrative of events is intimate and rather detailed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The early years of the Jacksons that Jermaine admits to not recalling comes mainly from Katherine, Joe and Randy Taraborrelli’s books—only embellished and rephrased.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Chapter 16 onward—post ‘Word to the Badd era—Jermaine had to improvise since he was no longer included in Michael’s life and couldn’t tell-all based on personal experience. He had to rely on people like Karen Faye, Harrison Funk and Bob Livingstone to fill in the blanks. It is evident that he also relied immensely on books by others—Michael, Katherine, Joe, Randy Taraborelli, Aphrodite Jones etc—on selected subjects. Steve Dennis appears to have relied on Internet regarding Mr. Jackson’s business affairs, love life and events surrounding his death. So much is pilfered from other resources but presented as personal experiences that the reader comes to question the source of particular information. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The “tribute memoir” doesn’t have a dedication page; it wasn’t dedicated to Michael Jackson or his children. At the end of the book, in “acknowledgments” section, Jermaine acknowledges his own children but NONE of Michael Jackson’s children.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The narrative wasn’t visually descriptive. Even in the beginning segment with the first-hand account of events, the narrative doesn’t give the reader visceral depiction. Although I am not a supporter of Frank Cascio or Latoya Jackson books—because Michael’s private life should remain private—the penmanship of these books is such that the reader becomes a fly on the wall and sees the story. I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><em>read</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Jermaine’s story but I did not </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><em>see</em></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">A good writer captures the reader’s attention from the get-go and sustains it till the end. I found Jermaine’s book to be painfully dull. It is rather a book for the fans than for the general public. You have to be an ardent Michael Jackson fan to want to plough through it in pursuit of finding diamond in the rough. I confess that I couldn’t even read this book in the traditional sense—from start to finish—I had to leaf through the pages.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you are a gullible type, you may buy into seemingly "good" things written about Michael, when in fact, Jermaine is underhandedly taking jabs at his dead brother. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The editing was poorly done; too many spelling and grammar errors—unforgivable for a book of this magnitude. Latoya’s boyfriend and ghost writer—Jeffré Phillips—isn’t even a writer and there isn’t one spelling error in her book. One of the misspellings—Prologue xii & Page 296—was Katherine’s name—as in the author’s own mother. I will provide a detailed list of mistakes in Part 2</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I found the use of most quotation marks extremely annoying and unnecessary. I am not referring to direct quotes from people. Single words not attributed to any people/source were in quotation marks—why? I couldn’t tell you. There was not a single source quote so even if a quote was meant to be attributed to a source, we have no way of knowing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jermaine didn’t even care about this book enough to go through his own album for never seen before pictures of Michael or the two of them together. I have seen more intimate pictures of Michael with his fans than a handful of pictures of him with Jermaine from select Tours light years ago. These pictures come from the “memory room” at the family’s Hayvenhurst home— Michael had adorned the walls and ceilings of two adjoining rooms with the pictures. If you carefully look at the photo in which the brothers meet Queen Elizabeth, you will notice a light socket.</span></div>

People point to a particular photograph taken in July 2008 of my brother being pushed in a wheelchair, with captions “looking frail and in no condition to perform”. That was exactly what Michael wanted the media to write. It was an act. He was aware that everyone doubted he still had it. So imagine—just imagine—if he bounced back and surprised the world.

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">As for the sighting in wheelchair in July 2008, Michael’s lung and arthritis issues are well documented in his autopsy. He suffered from degenerative osteoarthritis in his spine and his hands. His lung pathology reveals a long list of problems that made it difficult to exert himself physically, thus, causing him to fatigue easily. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Tohme Tohme said “when I first met him in Las Vegas, Michael was secluded and retreating from everybody. It was just him and his kids.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">(1) Michael was using wheelchair before AEG deal was struck. The wheelchair was not some marketing gimmick. Michael had legitimate ailments noted in his autopsy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">(2) When news of Michael’s deteriorating health emerged, Randy Phillips of AEG tried to dispel them. “<em>I would trade my body for his tomorrow. He is in fantastic shape</em>” he said in March 2009. If this was a marketing gimmick to drive ticket sales, Randy Phillips wouldn’t have been hell bent on portraying Michael as healthy. For both the insurance purposes and the ticket sales, it was imperative that Michael appeared healthy and capable. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jermaine’s argument that the wheelchair was a publicity prop isn't a compelling one. It is confabulated to make it seem AS IF Jermaine is in the know when he was merely an outsider.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">There is definitely a concerted effort to portray Joe as a non-abusive father yet throughout the book, the author unwittingly reveals instances of abuse. At one point, Jermaine even refers to Joe as a “tyrant.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">To dismiss Michael’s sentiments about his childhood is disrespectful, especially in a “tribute memoir.” Michael’s childhood isn’t Jermaine story to tell. If Jermaine feels that HE didn’t feel abused then he should say so and leave it at that and not speak on behalf of his siblings!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael Jackson did a public service by speaking out about the abuse he endured. As private as he was, Michael chose to share with the public about his childhood trauma in order to bring awareness to a problem. He used his misfortune to heal others. In his 2001 Oxford Speech, Michael said <strong>“by forgiving our parents, we are not denying that they wronged us. We are not whitewashing their sins or creating saints of sinners.”</strong> Whitewashing and creating saints out of sinners is exactly what Jermaine tries to do. This dishonors Michael’s TRUE history. Also saying "my father beat us to motivate us to succeed" sends an irresponsible public message to fathers who wants their children to succeed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I didn’t expect to read about the unsavory allegations against Michael Jackson in a tribute memoir. Neither did I expect to read about the sensationalized subjects we are accustomed to reading in the tabloids. Not only did Jermaine’s “tribute memoir” went there, he either failed to successfully dispel the rumors or he inflamed the existing rumors. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">An anecdote about Michael’s use of hydroquinone *before* he was diagnosed with Vitilago, starts with an idiotic disclaimer “As I write this I am fully aware that this one fact—if taken out of context—is in danger of fanning the myth that Michael bleached his skin.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The incident where Michael dangled Blanket from the balcony is fanned by this anecdote. “Eventually the media interest is faded and I told him ‘just be happy that the press don’t know how forgetful you are’.” Then Jermaine recounts an occasion when Michael left Hayvenhurst after a visit but forgot Blanket. Then he returns, saying “Oh. I forgot Blanket.” <strong>How are these two events related?</strong> How does the forgetting incident relate to the dangling incident? They are NOT! This is only one of the many instances Jermaine underhandedly takes a jab at Michael. The anecdote about Michael forgetting Blanket is meant to supplement the dangling incident to portray Michael as an unfit parent. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jermaine then stirs up the talks of Michael’s addiction by detailing his drug use—but the narrative is such that if you are naive, you may think that Jermaine is defending Michael. He goes as far as to state that Michael used Propofol during the HIStory Tour—the same unfounded garbage purged by the tabloids. This allegation comes from a man who stated that he didn’t even know what Propofol was until Michael’s death!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have always said that Jermaine is ignorant about the events surrounding 1993 allegations, 2005 Trial and the Conrad Murray Trial. Jermaine's ghost writer Steve Dennis was left to his own device in having to research what Jermaine hasn’t bothered to examine. The lack of knowledge and the inferiority of the research by the ghost writer is glaringly evident. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jermaine’s book was rushed deliberately to debut concurrent with the Conrad Murray Trial—to use the media frenzy as an advertising tool. Throughout the many interviews Jermaine granted after Michel’s death, he kept saying that he couldn’t say much and that it would all come out in the Conrad Murray Trial. He could’ve waited until after the Trial to include what came out in the Trial. You have a book prompted by Michael’s death but the book includes so little about the events surrounding his death. Fans who turn to this book for inside information will be disappointed. Most of everything in the book is stuff you can google.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael Jackson regarded his public image as an extension of his artistic image, thus, he wanted to command the same meticulous control over his public image as he did with his music. He was arguably the most famous in the world. At Thriller’s heights, the control over his public image got a life of its own; Michael had a little say, if any, about the 'Wacko Jacko' persona the world was creating for him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael offered to pay for Latoya Jackson and Randy Taraborelli books not to publish—albeit the aforementioned books didn’t have damaging information in them about him. It is safe to presume that what disturbed him was his private life marketed as a product. His scandal-free autobiography centers around his music. And he vetted Katherine’s book which centers around the Jackson Five’s life and music. <strong>Pause to take notice that NONE of the Jackson siblings or those he considered his friend published a book while Michael was alive.</strong> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The price of fame can be a heavy one. Consider that you really have no privacy. I’ve been accused of being obsessed with my privacy and it’s true that I am. If you were to ask me why I wear sunglasses as often as I do, I’d tell you, it’s a way of concealing just a bit of myself.

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The line between the artist and the man is blurred with Michael Jackson. His megastardom was a double edged sword. Because of his success, he is known around the globe; because of his fame, the public feels they are entitled to pry into his private life. And a greedy coterie of Family and friends are happy to grant access for a fee—knowing that they wouldn’t have revealed what they are now revealing if Michael was alive because he would have considered it a betrayal and swiftly severed ties.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">By all means, write about the artist and his spell bounding art—he left behind a valued repertoire waiting to be documented </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>but must we know about his pimple bursting ritual, his breakdowns, his drug use, private family matters, and dialogs in confidence?</strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> There is NOTHING noble about publicizing them. It serves no purpose other than feeding onto the public obsession about Michael & adding onto the caricature.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">By bringing Michael's private life into focus, his art is pushed to the back burner. Between the fake, lackluster songs released with Michael Jackson name and phalanx of tabloid smut disguised as tribute memoirs, the future generations will know him for his “Wacko” persona than for the merits of his unrivaled music, liquid gold dance & altruistic philanthropy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">a marketing gimmick—to promote constant public conversation about Michael Jackson. Somewhere down the road, what was once an ingenious publicity ploy took a wrong turn. The growing public opinion about Michael Jackson as “Wacko Jacko” only promoted tabloid sales. Before you know it, Michael’s private life had become a hot commodity garnering top dollars. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie. His staff, colleagues, friends, acquaintances, hired help, even his own Family feed the media with the details of Michael Jackson’s life, stipulating anonymity.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Rebbie litigated The National Enquirer for defamation.

Rebbie confronted Stacy. Dumfounded, Stacy called The Enquirer and asked "how did I get dragged into this?" He demanded that the gossip mill reveal its source to Rebbie. The Enquirer offered to settle with Stacy without revealing its source. Stacy declined the offer and he lawyered up. Part of his lawsuit demanded to know the source of information. The Enquirer was forced, then, to reveal that Latoya Jackson was the one who sold them this story in exchange for $12,000</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stacy Brown and the Enquirer also settled out of court. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Enquirer explained that Latoya and Joe Jackson have been go-to "anonymous" sources throughout the years which is why they didn't want to lose that valuable connection by outing them. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">On June 25, 2009 Michael Jackson’s life was taken. </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The world lost an exceptional artist and one of its brightest lights. More importantly, three young children lost their only parent.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Conrad Murray’s so-called “friendship” with Michael Jackson was based solely on his love of money and Michael Jackson’s desperation to sleep –nothing more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man who massaged </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Mr. Jackson’s “non-pedicured, calloused feet” now embellishes the relationship, not that he sucessfully fools anyone but his delusional self. It didn't matter if Mr. Jackson needed Murray to <strong>bark like a dog</strong>, </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">for $150K, he would have –and he did– anything! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">After the painful trial, a guilty verdict was heard around the world – a small measure of justice but justice nonetheless. We all felt a brief sense of vindication, knowing that the man responsible for Michael Jackson’s death was finally being held accountable. Only hours later, we learnt that MSNBC will give platform to a convicted felon’s scripted reality show where he will maintain that he is just an innocent victim of circumstances and that it was everybody and their mama’s fault but his – <strong>a claim 12 jurors didn’t buy.</strong> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">“We wouldn’t be here if Michael Jackson was not the patient”</span> bemoaned Ed Chernoff. Well, would Conrad Murray leave two medical practices to treat one patient if that patient wasn’t Michael Jackson? <span style="color: #b45f06;">"It is only because Michael Jackson is such a visible personality that this case has garnered media attention"</span> grumbled Ed Chernoff. Would networks line up to reward a convicted killer </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">if his victim didn't have such a visible personality?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Ed Chernoff’s hypocritical words reverberate across our vast universe. Apperantly their </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">so-called-concern for Michael Jackson's stature came in very handy when profiteering from his death. T</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">he very man who opted not tell his side of the story when a family and the jury turned to him for answers, pre-meditatively arranged a deal in which now, he will tell us “what really happened.” And Conrad Murray is the beacon of "troot". Ask his wife!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">“Take this case out of Michael Jackson. This is not a reality show, it is reality”</span> lamented </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Ed Chernoff. In hindsight, their affectations in court make so much sense. They were acting for their blockbuster “reality show”. It makes me wonder if the tears were real.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The time for Conrad Murray to tell us “what really happened” was under oath, in the court, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">giving the People benefit of a cross examination. Based on the evidence, the People presented its case. The defense, bless their heart, did resort to every avenue to pull a rabbit of their hats. Judge Pastor asked Murray, time after time, if he wanted to tell his story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">CONrad Murray said “My decision is that I will not testify in this matter, judge.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Little did we know, Conrad Murray DID testify that night to a glaring camera!!!</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ultimately, 12 jurors decided that “what really happened” to Michael Jackson </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">was Conrad Murray –with his unique blend of unethical acts & extreme incompetence.</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This con artist not only has the audacity to <strong>re-victimize his victim</strong> but also spits at </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">judge Michael Pastor's face, who went above and beyond to afford Murray a fair Trial. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">He cunningly masterminded a loophole to skirt around the judge’s gag order in order to disseminate his lies without being challenged by the People. <strong>His "Today" Show interview was done on Oct 30, 2011 -during the Trial- despite of judge Pastor's gag order! </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong>His now blaring conniving ways shines a bright light to when he tried to clean up crime scene when his patient laid there dying!!!</strong><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> This documentary doesn't show "what really happened"; it shows who Conrad Murray REALLY is: a conniving con artist! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The very jury who had to make personal sacrifices to sort out his mess was ordered NOT to profit for 90 days but the man who is convicted of killing a human being plotted 2 years ago that he would profit from his crime immediately after the Trial –no matter the verdict! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOVrxMyPzv6VX-8E0IBJJfpelsW5G_MOxrr0VQLggDCqCA7WZ2QSJK5NWLN2Gh9DrSWi6NUw6EUCT6FoBMqtw8cDohlYvEiDPGlQecZg-Gy7ZVw4jc4k9a-FjjkIrFffC-c22Tfwl4Fm8/s1600/mcnbc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOVrxMyPzv6VX-8E0IBJJfpelsW5G_MOxrr0VQLggDCqCA7WZ2QSJK5NWLN2Gh9DrSWi6NUw6EUCT6FoBMqtw8cDohlYvEiDPGlQecZg-Gy7ZVw4jc4k9a-FjjkIrFffC-c22Tfwl4Fm8/s320/mcnbc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">We are outraged that NBC Universal and other media outlets would even consider airing this show on a so-called respectable network. How can this be justified for any other reason but money? This irresponsible decision rewards a criminal, it diminishes a lost life, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">it diminishes NBC Universal, its shareholders, sponsors and viewers –it diminishes all of us. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The verdict wasn't even a week old and the sentencing is yet to be finalized but a coven of greedy networks and CONrad Murray thought that the timing couldn’t have been better. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">We are boycotting NBC Universal, MSNBC, Nine Network, Channel 4 & Zodiak Rights and we will mount a protest to ANY media outlet that broadcasts Murray's sideshow! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The decision by ANY network in ANY country to broadcast this documentary will diminish the said network to the media equivalent of Conrad Murray –willing to compromise ethics </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">in exchange for money. Rather than walking away from an indecent proposal, you decided to reward crime. His decision killed a human being, your decision kills ethical journalism. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">A deceased fellow human being –Michael Jackson – deserves better. <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Paris</place></city>, Prince and Blanket deserves better. We, the viewers, deserve better than this proposed obscenity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This so-called program should be retitled ‘<strong>A Man’s Inhumanity to another <place w:st="on"><state w:st="on">Man</strong></state></place>" and it applies to everyone who has hand in the making or disseminating it. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Crime shouldn’t pay</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">It is completely unacceptable and an affront to justice to reward a convicted felon.</span><br />

Cooley was happy to collect accolades! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. Cooley, there was a reason you didn’t make attorney general. You are underhanded and while chasing after small wins, you lose big. This publicity stunt was no exception. You did disservice to Jackie Lacey. Don’t you have advisors to halt your tactless acts? </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What Steve Cooley conveniently left out was that HE was the man who "downed it to involuntary manslaughter."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just because Conrad Murray is charged with a crime doesn’t mean that he is guilty. He is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. The prosecution must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Proof <strong><span style="color: #444444;">beyond a reasonable doubt</span></strong> is the proof that leaves you with an abiding conviction that the charge is true. Beyond a reasonable doubt does NOT mean no doubt. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Evidence</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Evidence </span></strong>is sworn witness testimonies and the exhibits admitted into evidence. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The remarks by the prosecution or the defense attorneys are NOT evidence, their opening and closing statement are NOT evidence. The questions by the attorney to the witnesses are NOT evidence, the witness answers ARE evidence. Don’t assume something is true just because one of the attorneys remarked that it was true. The stipulations agreed by both the prosecution and the defense must be accepted as facts by the jurors. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Facts could be direct, circumstantial evidence or combination of both. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><span style="color: #444444;">Direct evidence</span></strong> can prove a fact by itself. For example if a witness testified that it was raining when he came into the court house, his testimony is direct evidence that it was raining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Circumstantial evidence</strong></span> don't prove a fact directly but it is evidence of another fact(s) </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">from which you could logically conclude the truth of the fact. For example, if a witness testify that he saw someone come inside wearing a raincoat covered with drops of water, that testimony is a circumstantial evidence that it may support a conclusion that it was raining outside. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">BOTH direct and circumstantial evidence are acceptable types of evidence. BUT if relying on a circumstantial evidence to conclude that a fact necessary to find Conrad Murray guilty has been proven, the jurors must ensure that the prosecution proved that fact beyond a reasonable doubt. If the jurors can draw 2 reasoble conclusions based a circumstantial evidence; one pointing that he is guilty, another pointing that he is innocent, the jurors MUST go with the one that points to innocence.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times;">The jurors decide on the credibility of a witness. They can believe all, part of none of a witness testimony. Jurors are to use common sense to decide.</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Don't simply assume that a testimony is false just b/c of inconsistincies; sometimes people can honestly forget things. If a witness lied about something significant, then the jurors consider NOT believing that witness' testimony but the witness lied about some thing but told the truth on something, jurors should consider believing in parts that they feel are truthful. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times;">If an expert was asked by an attorney an hypothetical question, it is up to the jurors to decide if the assumed fact has been proven. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times;">Character witnesses for Conrad Murray testified that he is "attentive, informative, careful, cautious, compassionate, loyal and knowledgable physician and has a good reputation for financial generosity and selflessness". <strong>Evidence of Murray's good character by itself CAN create a reasonable doubt but the evidence for Murray's good character can be countered by the evidence for his bad character for the same trait. </strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is Conrad Murray's constutional right NOT to testify. The jurors are NOT to make a negative inference that he did not testify. Conrad Murray's LAPD interview IS evidence but jurors must decide how much importance it carries. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you find that Conrad Murray made a false or misleading statement before this trial relating to the charged crime, it may show his guilt of conscious and the jurors MAY consider this in determining his guilt. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you find that Conrad Murray tried to hide evidence, it may show he was aware of his guilt but that conduct in itself can NOT prove that he is guilty.

He, therefore, had a legal duty to care for Michael Jackson. His failure to perform his legal duty is the direct cause of Michael Jackson’s death which would not have happened if it wasn’t for Conrad Murray’s deviations from the standard of care. A reasonable doctor in his place would have known that the dangerous setting Conrad Murray “treated” Mr. Jackson was a recipe for disaster. We had doctor after doctor testify that they would NEVER do what Conrad Murray did. Even the defense witness, Dr White testified that no amount of money could pursue him to do what Conrad Murray did. Ed Chernoff said in his opening “well Michael Jackson received Propofol for two months and he didn’t die. See, it was not a dangerous circumstance.' <u>Mr. Chernoff’s argument is as absurd as someone who killed while playing Russian roulette saying “well when I pulled the trigger for the first 4 times, there was no danger.” </u>Propofol…to treat insomnia…bottle in the bag…no infusion pump....gravity dripping an anesthesia as a sleep aid…in a bedroom…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">To relieve the defendant of criminal liability, <strong>an intervening cause must be UNforeseeable</strong> and extraordinary occurrence. A defendant is criminally liable if either the possible consequence might reasonably have been contemplated or the defendant should have foreseen the possibility of the harm of the kind that could result from his act. Even if Michael Jackson himself caused his death but if Conrad Murray is the SUBSTANTIAL CAUSE, he is legally responsible for Michael Jackson’s death. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In Conrad Murray Trial, the defense claim that IF Michael Jackson self administered </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">(--->intervening cause) then Conrad Murray can NOT be the cause of his death. But the juror instructions state that IF the intervening cause was foreseeble then Conrad Murray IS still the cause of death EVEN IF Michael Jackson self administered. Conrad Murray stated that Michael Jackson “likes to push” Propofol and that he was getting addicted to it. Intervening cause = Michael Jackson self administration of Propofol. In this case, leaving the patient who is addicted to Propofol, who likes to push Propofol, who begged for Propofol all nite with an access to Propofol is <u>as ridiculous as leaving a gun next to someone who talked of suicide all night.</u> The possible consequence was very much expected and foreseeable and Murray should've foreseen the possibility<span style="color: green;"><strong>)</strong></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

One of the things I admired about Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley as well as Elvis' "inner circle" and his fans was they did NOT try and change history. Change facts. They never denied Elvis' problems and what's ironic is that Elvis, to my memory, never spoke of any addiction to drugs. Michael Jackson HIMSELF admitted that he had a drug problem as early as 1985. He checked into rehab in 1993 and his brothers and sisters attempted interventions in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2008. Now, Jermaine Jackson and a lot of the grief-stricken fans want to change history and say Michael Jackson was not an addict. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's really tragic because so much good they all can do by embracing the fact that he had </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a problem and then using that to help get a powerful message out about drug addiction. They've used their dead brother for financial gain since his death, why not use him for good and to help millions of others who battle the disease of addiction every day? Supposedly, Michael Jackson was this great humanitarian so wouldn't he want to do that? And, this does not absolve Conrad Murray in any way. Evidence has proven beyond a reasonable heck beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's guilty as charged.<br />
<br />
Also, Joseph, Jermaine, Latoya and others had been on television several times saying Michael's death was a conspiracy and that Murray was the "fall guy." Jermaine even said they erased tapes. In court, they showed surveillance of Michael returning home one last time and they said the tapes were indeed erased. Shouldn't the family and fans (unless they've changed their theory and now believe only Murray is involved - although the trial has revealed Katherine is suing AEG for wrongful death) be shouting more about that and not rejoicing over Murray's downfall. After all, word is that he will probably spend no more than a few weeks in a county lock up and then be put on house arrest for the remainder of his sentence. The conviction will end Murray's medical career and we all know that he's broke, so any civil judgement Joseph Jackson may win against Murray will be for naught. <br />
<br />
The problem with the Jacksons and Michael's fans these days is that none want to hear reason. Too bad for them. What a shame.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Stacy, thank you for your email. First things first. You wrote “<em>supposedly</em>, Michael Jackson was this great humanitarian”. I hope that it is not really how you meant it but </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">it just came across wrong. I don’t think that even his adversaries second-guess Mr. Jackson’s contributions to the world culture and the people of the World, be it his artistic contributions, and be it his philanthropic contributions. Mr. Jackson always put his check book where his mouth is and generously helped others in need. Simply put, no one and nothing could take that away from Mr. Jackson; an attempt to do so would be foolish, malicious, unfair and futile. In 2000, Guinness World Records book crowned Mr. Jackson “King of Charity”. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">“Michael to have been one of the nicest, kindest human beings ever created. He had a mission to try and help the world. Even when he`s intoxicated, if he is, and slurring his words and it`s very sad to listen to, he still was talking about building a children`s hospital. That`s the Michael I knew -- caring, decent, honorable, and wanting to use his greatest talents to help the world.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><strong>~TOM MESEREAU</strong></span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I respectfully disagree with you on Michael’s alleged addiction. Michael went to doctors to seek cure for his insomnia. Have you ever had chronic insomnia for days or even months? I have and at the end of the day, I recall my day as if I am a spectator. It is really hard on mind and body. What exactly is Michael Jackson guilty of, wanting to sleep 8 hours a day? As people say, he was Michael Jackson; he could have acquired drugs without stating an ailment. This man went to doctors to cure his insomnia. His patient files reflect insomnia. He even tried, with Cherilyn Lee, holistic approach to cure his insomnia. His history of addiction doesn’t mean that he died as an addict. It was always easy to target Mr. Jackson with unsubstantiated allegations, more so now that he is dead and not here to speak for himself.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But let’s, for argument’s sake, assume that he was an addict. If Michael Jackson was </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">an addict, what does that make Conrad Murray? I often hear people talking about how Michael’s death shouldn’t be in vain and some good should come out of it. Likewise, I read in your email that the Family and the fans should embrace Mr. Jackson’s so-called addiction and put it to a good use. Michael Jackson’s death WAS in vain. I’m not trying to turn his tragic death into lemonade. Perhaps I am not altruistic or maybe it’s too soon for me but I get bothered when I hear people suggest that Michael’s death should serve to do good onto others. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Throughout his life, Michael Jackson willingly used his global fame as </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">a force for humanitarian causes around the world. His death shouldn't be used for yet another cause. It is high time for the world to honor Michael Jackson as a human being. He did enough good to this world! Now it is the world’s turn to do good for Michael Jackson for once.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">As far as bringing other culpable parties to justice, what have YOU done in this regard? </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The loyal fans dedicated over 2 years of their lives screaming the truth but when his own Family and friends’ sell their loyalty for money, there is not much that the fans can do. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I whole-heartedly agree with your comments about the Jacksons, particularly the people you named, who turned exploiting Michael Jackson, dead or alive, into an art form. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Mr. Jackson was subjected to so much prejudice, malice and hatred. It would have been so easy for us, if we were in his shoes, to lose faith in humanity. Mr. Jackson endured the absolute worst from mankind yet he came out the other side like a champion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still unjaded, Mr. Jackson continued to show love and be love until the very end of his life. Even after his death, if we are bunch of ingrates refusing to give him his dues and continue to persecute a dead man, it is a reflection of our character…or lack thereof. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Review of Conrad Murray orders from Applied Pharmacy of Las Vegas reveals that Conrad Murray is being less than truthful about how much Propofol he was administering to Mr. Jackson every night. He was most definitely administering MORE that 50mg per night that he alleges.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What was your role on the Dangerous Tour?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was the co-creator of the show itself with Michael and I was the director of the Production.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In addition to the Dangerous Tour, prior to ‘This Is It’ were there other tours that you were involved in with Michael?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yes.

And have an entire creative process, sculpting out the ideas for the production, from the music, staging, effects, lighting, everything that attributed to the whole of the production. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And in these areas, the music, the dance, the staging, the effects, the lighting; would Michael be heavily involved in all of that decision making?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yeah. I did not do the choreography. Michael did the choreography, and also did choreography with other choreographers. I supervised the choreography but did not do the day-in, day-out creation of the dances. Many of those dances were there before I started working with Michael. In those other areas, costuming, lighting, sound, the staging of the production, illusions.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

I am excited about this and I want you to be part of this with me. Will you do this with me?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">From scratch?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yeah, building it from scratch as ‘This Is It.’ There would be elements incorporated into this production that Michael had done before but it was a new show.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And beginning in mid-April, with these 3 to 4, eventually 4 to 5 visits with Michael a week, can u please describe his demeanor and his level of involvement in the preparations?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">He was very excited. Just convinced that this was the time. He had great reason to do it and believed that we had the potential to something really important and wonderful.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Did he specifically relay to you reasons why he though that this was now the right time to do a Tour of this magnitude?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sure</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What did he tell you?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">He had many reasons but I would say the most important reasons were that wanted to share what it is that he loved all of his life with his children. He wanted to do it for his fans who had been loyal to him, whom he cared deeply about, he loved very much. He also wanted to do it because he felt now more than ever, that his music applied to our world situation. “Earth Song” “Will You Be There” “Heal The World” and other songs and he wanted to use the stage as a platform to remind people the importance of us doing whatever we can to take care of this planet and each other. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And he relayed this to you?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Absolutely</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What did he tell you about his desire to put on a production of this magnitude for his children? What did he share with you in that regard?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just that he was excited. That they were fans of his work and now they were of an age where they can really appreciate what it is that he did so he felt now was an opportunity for him to be able to share it with them.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The fans. You say the other reason was the fans.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What was it exactly that required more space?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The ceiling height rigging for lighting and trusses, the stage itself.

If you need me to come to the house, just give me a call in the morning. My concern is now that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we've brought</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the doctor into the fold</b> and have played the tough love, now or never card is that the artist may be unable to rise to the occasion due to real emotional stuff. He appeared quite weak and fatigued this evening. He had a terrible case of the chills, was trembling, rambling and obsessing. Everything in me says he should be psychologically evaluated. If we have any chance at all to get him back in the light, it's going to take a strong therapist to help him through this as well as immediate physical nurturing. I was told by our choreographer that during the artists costume fitting with his designer tonight they noticed he's lost more weight. As far as I can tell there is no one taking care responsibility (caring for) for him on a daily basis. Where was his assistant tonight? Tonight I was feeding him, wrapping him in blankets to warm his chills, massaging his feet to calm him and calling his doctor. There were four security guards outside his door, but no one offering him a cup of hot tea. Finally it's important for everyone to know, I believe that he really wants this. It would shatter him; break his heart if we pulled the plug. He's terribly frightened it's all going to go away. He asked me repeatedly tonight if I was going to leave him. He was practically begging for my confidence. It broke my heart. He was like a lost boy. There still may be a chance. e can rise to the occasion if we get him the help he needs</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

Michael recorded rehearsals for his own benefit. No one photographed or recorded rehearsals until we had our actual cameras that were gonna be used for the I-Max screens which came late at the Forum or early at the Staples Center. So there were no other people that were recording other than when Michael requested recording.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

Ladies and gentlemen, the evidence in this case will show that Michael Jackson literally put his life in the hands of Conrad Murray. The evidence in this case will show that Michael Jackson trusted his life to the medical skills of Conrad Murray. The evidence will further show equivocally that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that</i> misplaced trust had far too high of a price to pay. That misplaced trust in the hands of Conrad Murray cost Michael Jackson his life. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead. He was just 50 years old. He died alone, in his bed, on the second floor of his Holmby Hills mansion. In the house at the time were the defendant, Conrad Murray and Michael’s three young children and some staff that help run the home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Because there was no immediate obvious cause of death, the coroner’s office soon took a very active role in the investigation. Not only performing an autopsy but doing detailed toxicology analysis to determine what caused the death of Mr. Jackson at 50 years of age. </span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And what we learn through that investigation is that Propofol, Lidocaine, Diazepam, a metabolite of Diazepam called Nordiazepam, Lorazepam and Midazolam all testing positive in the heart blood, all administered by Conrad Murray on June 25, 2009</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Further investigation by the coroner’s office thru statements, thru interviews, thru the autopsy, thru the toxicology findings led to the conclusion that the levels of Propofol found in Mr. Jackson’s body were at levels similar to general anesthesia when someone is put under for a surgical procedure. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The coroner also found that the levels of Lorazepam were pharmacologically significant and that they played a contributing role in the death of Mr. Jackson because these benzodiazepines work in conjunction with the Propofol to heighten the effects that each drug has. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Following these findings, the coroner’s office concluded this was in fact a homicide, that Michael Jackson’s death was a homicide and more specifically the coroner’s office concluded that the cause of death was acute Propofol intoxication coupled with the contributory factor of the additional benzodiazepines in his system.</span><br />

And the investigation centered on the dates preceding his death, the investigation centered on the events of June 24 and June 25, 2009. And the question became what occurred between June 24, 2009 when Michael Jackson shown in this picture, performing at Staples Center singing Earth song, what happened between that time and approximately 12 hours later when Michael Jackson is dead on June 25, 2009.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What you will learn through the evidence is that what happened during that time frame is that the acts and the omissions of Michael Jackson’s personal doctor, Conrad Murray directly led to his premature death at the age of 50.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ladies and gentlemen as the judge indicated, this part of the Trial was referred to as the opening statement. And it is in fact an opportunity to give an outline of what we expect the evidence to show, to give you, as the court said, a road map.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Often times in Trials witnesses are called out of order due to scheduling and things of that nature. They may not always come in and testify in a chronological order. So this is an opportunity for both parties to present to you, and hopefully in a logical fashion what we expect the evidence to show. And as I indicated, what we expect the evidence to show is that Conrad Murray repeatedly acted with gross negligence, repeatedly denied appropriate care to his patient Michael Jackson. And that it was Dr. Murray’s repeated incompetent and unskilled acts that led to Mr. Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">To give you some background as to what was going on at this time in Mr. Jackson’s life, what was going on in Dr Murray’s life, I wanna take you thru some of the evidence that you will hear in this case.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At this time, Mr. Jackson was preparing for probably one of the biggest <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Tours</place></city> of his life, entitled This Is It. It was going to start at the O2 arena, in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">London</city></place>. It was going to be Mr. Jackson’s comeback Tour. And Mr. Jackson indicated one of the reasons this Tour was so important to him was that he wanted his children to have the opportunity to see him perform on stage, in front of a large crowd. And they’d never had the opportunity and he wanted to give them that chance to see him perform in such a manner.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The concert, the Tour was scheduled to begin at the O2 arena and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it was expected to last approximately 11 months. It would then continue in the months and years ahead but at that point, it was for the approximately for 11 months to take place at the O2 arena in <city w:st="on">London</city> <place w:st="on"><country-region w:st="on">England</country-region></place>. What started as a 10 day Tour soon grew to 31 dates, when those tickets quickly sold out, it grew again to 50 dates. Those dates too all sold out. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now in preparation for what was going to a massive production and a massive Tour obviously rehearsals had to take place and the rehearsal were taking place in Los Angeles Beginning in May of 2009. They started in small scale at Center Staging in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Burbank</city></place>, where basic production and rehearsals were taking place with the various members of the production team. When the production and the growth and the scale of the rehearsals outgrew that location, they moved to the Forum in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Englewood</city></place>. They remained at the Forum for approximately just about the entire month of June. And then just days before Michael Jackson’s death, they moved to a larger scale arena the <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Staples</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Center</placetype></place> so that they could more accurately replicate what the actual Tour is going to be. At the time of Michael’s death, the rehearsals were taking place at the <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Staples</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Center</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now during this time, Michael Jackson was living at 100 N Carolwood in Holmby Hills. It is just off of Sunset boulevard, what you are viewing here is an arial photo where I’m pointing down below would be the front door to 2 story mansion, large yard, pool, lots of privacy. Mr. Jackson lived there with his family, his three young children, Prince, his young Daughter Paris and his youngest son, Blanket. It was Michael and his 3 children that lived there on a permanent basis. He had staff, he had security, he had a nanny, he had a chef but it was Michael and his children that lived at 100 N Carolwood which came to be where Michael would die.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What do we know about Conrad Murray at this time? Well we know Conrad Murray was a medical doctor. He was not an anesthesiologist, he was not board certified in cardiology. In fact at the time of Michael Jackson’s death, Conrad Murray wasn’t board certified in any medical specialty.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Conrad Murray had met Michael Jackson previously in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Las Vegas</city></place> when Michael was living there in 2006. They had remained in contact. Dr Murray had treated the children while in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Las Vegas</city></place> for various minor ailments such as runny nose and things of that nature He had treated Michael for Various minor ailments over the period of time. But they maintained contact from that point of time in 2006 thru 2009 and what you will learn is that in March 2009 Michael requested that Conrad Murray accompany him on his O2 Tour, the This is It Tour. Conrad Murray readily agreed to participate and accompany Michael on this Tour. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What you learn is that Conrad Murray initially requested payment of $5 million for 1 year of medical service. This was quickly rejected and an offer of a $150,000 a month was put on the table. What you will learn is that soon a contract had been drafted. Dr. Murray was to be hired as an Independent contractor.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Part of the terms of the contract provided that <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Murray</city></place> would provide general medical care that he would provide medical emergency care and that he would provide reasonably requested services. And this was all to be for the Tour in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">London</city></place>, the This Is It Tour.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In exchange for what Dr. Murray was to provide for the terms of the contract, Dr. Murray was going to receive, as I indicated, $150,000 a month, airfare to and from <city w:st="on">London</city> and housing in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">London</city></place> for the duration of the Tour. Again the $5 request of Dr. Murray was rejected and the agreed upon amount was $150,000 a month.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What you will also learn is that this contract was never signed by the parties. What you will learn is that Conrad Murray both as an individual and as part of his medical practice signed the contract.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s dated June 24, 2009. No representatives from AEG the Tour promoter had signed it and Michael Jackson had not signed it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Although it had not been signed Conrad Murray had made it very clear that he welcomed the opportunity to enter this lucrative agreement. In fact Conrad Murray made it so abundantly clear of his intention to enter into this lucrative agreement that he soon told his clients, his previous medical clients, to find another doctor. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">He sent out letters in June of 2009 advising his clients ‘Because of a once in a lifetime opportunity, I had to make a most difficult decision to cease practice medicine indefinitely’ So he was saying goodbye to his clients with the intention of signing on for this $150,000 lucrative agreement that he at least thru words had reached with Michael Jackson.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I told you a little bit about what Michael Jackson was doing at that time and I told you little bit what Conrad Murray was doing at the time. You also need to know a little bit about Propofol. And you will hear a great deal about propofol throughout this trial. What is Propofol?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Propofol is a general anesthetic agent. It is defined as an intravenous sedative hypnotic agent for use in the induction and maintenance of anesthesia or sedation. Put simply, it is what is used to put you under when you have to have forced mechanical ventilation, if you have to have surgical procedure. It is used in a hospital <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to put you under</i>. It is not a sleep aid, it is not a sleep agent. It is a general anesthetic. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">It has great strengths; It is a wonderful drug if used by someone who knows what they are doing, someone who respects the dangers as well as the benefits of the drug. Some of its favorable properties include the quick onset of sedation, it acts rapidly. Also at the end of it rapid return to consciousness. So it acts quickly and it also brings you back out rather quickly. Minimal post operative nausea or vomiting. You generally feel okay once you come back out of it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">However with every benefit comes a cost and there are unfavorable properties that must be respected by the doctor who is administering such a potentially dangerous drug. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The unfavorable properties, it leads to respiratory and cardiovascular depression. There is a narrow margin between sedation and full general anesthesia. And what that means is that there is a continuum between a light or conscious sedation and full general sedation or anesthesia. And they need to be an expert in that field and knowledgeable to be able to track their continuum and have the safety measures and the precautions in place so that if the patient passes thru that continuum to a deeper level of sedation. You have to ensure as the doctor in charge, as the doctor with the legal duty of care that u can manage any consequences that come forward. Also it leads to the loss of ability to breathe and the ability to maintain your airway. And finally because of these properties things can go bad very quickly, very quickly. And if you are not knowledgeable and competent and prepared, it will lead to the death of your patient.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The package insert that comes with it, that every single person would see if they just open up the package in plain text indicates that continuous monitoring is essential. Facilities for maintenance of patent airway must be immediately available. This is in the package insert. Patients should be continuously monitored for early signs of hypotension, apnea, airway obstruction and/or oxygen de-saturation. Simple reading of the package inset would impress upon a competent medical doctor the precautions that need to be taken and the inherent dangers of using such and agent without the skills and the knowledge and resuscitate equipment to handle it appropriately.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In this case you will hear about Propofol, you will hear the science of propofol. You will hear about the concentrations of propofol. As it relates to this case, what you will hear there are two separate vial sizes. It comes in a 100ml vial. That is the large vial. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It additionally comes in a 20ml vial. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Each of these vials has the same concentration and that is for each milliliter there are 10 milligrams of propofol for each milliliter. So for the 100ml vial it is 1000mg of propofol. For the 20ml vial, it is 200mg of Propofol.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now how did Propofol come to play a role in this case? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What we know is that I indicated before that in March 2009, Michael had enlisted the services of Conrad Murray and Dr Murray quickly told his patients that he would be leaving medicine indefinitely. We also know that Conrad Murray then sought out a pharmacist. That Dr Murray made arrangements with that pharmacist to purchase very large quantities of Propofol on a regular basis. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What we learn is that Dr. Murray went to Applied Pharmacy in <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Las Vegas</city></place> and met with pharmacist Tim Lopez. Conrad Murray was NOT honest with Tim Lopez and Conrad Murray indicated that he had a clinic in <state w:st="on"><place w:st="on">California</place></state> when NO such clinic or medical office existed. Conrad Murray indicated he had a large client base in California and that he wanted to get…eventually made arrangements to get shipments of Propofol sent to what he characterized as his medical office in Santa Monica. What we know now to be what he characterized as his medical office was the apartment of his girlfriend and the mother of one of his children, Nicole Alvarez. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So these arrangements were made between Conrad Murray and Tim Lopez. And the shipments began taking place from Applied Pharmacy in <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Las Vegas</place></city> to the apartment of Nicole Alvarez, Conrad Murray’s girlfriend. There was no medical practices, as I indicated and the shipments began on April 6, 2009.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On April 6 2009 We know there was a shipment of propofol to Nicole Alvarez’s address. In that shipment were the 10 bottles of the large 100ml bottles, 1000mg of propofol each. There were also 25 of the 20 ml bottles in this first shipment of April 6, 2009. This first shipment, Conrad Murray’s first order of business resulted in a shipment of 15,000mg of Propofol to the apartment of Nicole Alvarez. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But the shipments didn’t end with that first shipment.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On April 28, there was another shipment of Propofol to the apartment of Nicole Alvarez. This shipment was larger. 40 of the large 100ml bottles accompanied by 25 of the 20ml bottles. </span><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">This shipment accounted for 45,000 additional mg of Propofol.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Following the April 28 shipment, we had a shipment of Midazolam and Lorazepam, sedative agents that Conrad Murray also admits to having administered to Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009. And this shipment contained 10 vials of lorazepam as well as 20 vials of Midazolam. And that was on April 30, 2009. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The shipments continued. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But interesting to note as it relates to Conrad Murray’s knowledge of what these drugs were doing and his willingness to proceed with this manner of care in this fashion. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We learn that on May 10, 2009 Conrad Murray made a voice recording on his I phone. His I phone had an application called I talk and although an application on I phone is just like any other digital voice recorder. Forensic computer specialists analyzed that I phone and found this voice recording. They were able to Time stamp it and date stamp it. The recording was made on May 10, 2009 at 9: 05am</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On that recording you will hear Michael’s voice; on that recording you will hear the voice of Conrad Murray. The evidence will reveal that this voice recording documents Michael Jackson highly under the influence of unknown agents with Dr. Murray evidently sitting near by evidently observing maybe listening but recording on his I phone. What this evidence will reveal to you is Conrad Murray’s knowledge of Michael’s state on May 10, 2009. What this evidence will reveal to you is Conrad Murray’s knowledge of what <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">he</i> is doing to Michael Jackson on May 10, 2009. Over a month and a half before Michael Jackson dies as a result of this very treatment. You will hear the whole recording during this trial but I will play a clip now so you can have a taste of what Conrad Murray knew on May 10, 2009.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7XJFoH2MwLY" width="420"></iframe></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">That is what Conrad Murray is seeing and observing on May 10, 2009. And what does he do with that knowledge? And what does he do with that information?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">On May 12, he orders another shipment of Propofol and Midazolam. Again, he orders 40 of the 100ml bottles of propofol just 2 days after that recording was made accompanying those 40 100ml bottles were 25 20ml bottles. For again, a total of an additional 45,000mg of Propofol.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The next shipment occurs on June 10 at which point Conrad Murray orders again 40 100ml bottles and now <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">50</i> of the 20ml bottles, totaling in this shipment alone 50,000 additional mg of Propofol. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">That is then followed on June 15 by an order of Midazolam and lorazepam, again 10 vials of lorazepam and 20 vials of Midazolam. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And we learn from these shipments that from April 6 and the shipment of June 10, Conrad Murray ordered 255 separate vials of propofol<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>totaling 155,000mg of Propofol equivalent to 15.5 liters or 4.09 gallon of this general anesthetic agent. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoisHWD-Fi0iqvDhw9uFzeeHFxpT08bIKM8ZErrQOCLEpWLloCdJ-OrX9-HYuqeBm_5s4JNpF5jBbWP6GTplSU8NDI3x-ofnluncPvEJn2g3dSlZpdlss3E0wOpnyDVcp3sQlTcf-gf8/s1600/aday.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="271" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIoisHWD-Fi0iqvDhw9uFzeeHFxpT08bIKM8ZErrQOCLEpWLloCdJ-OrX9-HYuqeBm_5s4JNpF5jBbWP6GTplSU8NDI3x-ofnluncPvEJn2g3dSlZpdlss3E0wOpnyDVcp3sQlTcf-gf8/s400/aday.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just based on the orders alone, if you calculate from April 6 to the time of Michael’s death on June 25<sup>th</sup>, in those 80 days, based on the orders, what was being shipped was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1,937mg propofol a day</b> and keep that number in mind when you hear the statements of Conrad Murray in regard to how much he administered on June 25, 2009.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I wanted to talk about what the evidence will show in regard to Michael’s final days. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What you will learn is that on June 19, 2009 Michael showed up for his rehearsal and he was not in a good shape, he was not in good shape at all. He had chills, he was trembling, he was cold, he was rambling. And Kenny Ortega, co director, co chorographer of the production from whom you will be hearing directly was concerned. He had never seen Mr. Jackson in that state previously. He will tell you that Michael did not rehearse that day, that he sat. He will tell you that Michael was cold. He put a blanket around him. He provided him some chicken to eat. He massaged his feet to try to warm him. Michael ended up going home early that evening and not rehearsing because of the physical state he was in.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will also hear about the next day, June 20<sup>th </sup>2009 ad what you will hear is that there was a meeting called at Michael’s house at 100 N Carolwood. And at this meeting were Conrad Murray the defendant, Michael, Kenny Ortega, Randy Phillips and a discussion was had at that meeting about Michael’s health, more specifically about what had transpired the night before on June 19th.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And what you will hear from Kenny Ortega is that Conrad Murray took a very hostile tone he scolded Kenny Ortega for meddling in what evidently was Conrad Murray’s area of expertise. He said things to Kenny Ortega when concerns were expressed, he said things such as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I am the doctor not you. You direct the show and leave Michael’s health to me. </b>He said Michael was physically and emotionally fine. Don’t let it be your concern. <strong>I </strong>am the doctor. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Following this meeting of June 20<sup>th</sup> rehearsals did not take place that day the 21<sup>st</sup> or 22<sup>nd</sup> but they did resume on June 23, 2009. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And you will see footage of Michael performing on June 23, 2009 and by all counts it was a successful rehearsal at the <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Staples</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Center</placetype></place>. Michael appeared strong, he was optimistic and he was looking to the future. And he was looking to get the Tour off the ground and head out to <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">London</city></place>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The following night, the rehearsals resumed again. That is June 24, 2009 and again the rehearsal went well, Michael was engaged, he was optimistic in fact you will hear from Kenny Ortega that Michael was excited because the next day they were going to be performing an illusion that was going to be part of the tour. Michael always loved that type of magical illusion aspect of these shows. So Kenny had told him that tomorrow we are gonna do the illusion and Michael was looking forward to coming back that next day to participate in that illusion. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">As you now know he never returned to <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Staples</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Center</placetype></place>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Following that rehearsal the night of June 24, 2009, Michael was taken home and he arrived home at about 1 o’clock in the morning which will be the morning of June 25 2009. What you will learn is that it was customary that Conrad Murray would spend the night at the house every night, sometimes only six nights a week but nearly every night for at least two months, two and a half months. In his own words, his purpose for being there was to put Michael to sleep with Propofol.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So when Michael and his security staff arrived at the house from the <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Staples</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Center</placetype></place> during the early morning hours of June 25<sup>th</sup> at around 1 o’clock in the morning Conrad Murray’s BMW was already parked in the driveway. Michael was brought into the house. security was debriefed, the customary routine was followed, again the house at 100 N Carolwood, the front door that faces out to the front courtyard diagram which is Difficult to see from this perspective but a diagram of the entry way where I am pointing down below would be where the front door is located. You come into this front foyer area as to the relevant location of where Michael died. You would go to the left of these stairs, and you would go into this foyer where I am pointing here into the bedroom where Conrad Murray would do his nightly infusions of propofol to Michael Jackson.</span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">As I indicated earlier the question becomes what transpired then from 1 o’clock in the morning to Michael’s death the next day. Before I relay to you some of the words of Conrad Murray as to his story of what transpired I wanna share with you what the independent investigation by law enforcement revealed after Conrad Murray statements. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What you will learn through phone records is that Conrad Murray was very busy on the phone that night. There is screenshots from the I-Phone showing him receiving/reading various emails there is text message, there is different screen shots showing various activities of Conrad Murray on his phone, there is a very relevant email that Conrad Murray receives. It is sent at 5:54am. Conrad Murray responds to it at 11:17am on that day and that time will be very relevant. But it is not just relevant for the time it is relative for the substance. Because this email is an email from an insurance broker in <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">London</place></city> that is trying to collect medical records so they can have the Tour properly insured. Conrad Murray was asked specific questions about press reports relating to Michael Jackson health and that it is required in order to get the insurance. Conrad Murray responds by his own email on June 25<sup>th</sup> at 11:17am and what he says is that <span style="color: #444444;"><strong>‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">as far as his health published by the Press, let me say they are all fallacious to the best of my knowledge</i>.’</strong></span> This is on June 25, 2009 just days after the meeting, month and a half after the May 10 recording. And Conrad Murray represents to the insurance broker that all concerns of press reports about Michael’s health are fallacious.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We also know thru the phone records what was taking place that night. And we have the early morning phone calls which will be described to you thru witness testimony and evidence during this Trial but as we get closer to the time when Conrad Murray indicates he provided Propofol we have a 10:14am phone call, a 10:20 phone call, a 10:34 phone call, a 11:07 phone call, We then go to 11:18 32 minute phone call to Conrad Murray’s business in Las Vegas followed by a brief message to one of his female friends Bridgette Morgan at 11:26 A call with Robert Russell at 11:49<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then a call at 11:51 with another female friend, Sade Anding who lived in Houston, Texas and you are going to hear from Sade Anding and what she is going to tell you she was working<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as a cocktail waitress in Houston. She met Conrad Murray. They exchanged numbers. And that Conrad Murray referred to her as his girlfriend. What you will learn from the nature of this 11:51 phone call is that this is likely the time when Conrad Murray first noticed Michael Jackson’s lifeless body. It won’t reveal to you the time of Michael Jackson’s death. But it may reveal to you when Conrad Murray first <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">noticed</i> MJ had died. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Because what Sade Anding tells us is that when this 11:51 phone call took place that she was speaking on the phone when she realized there was no response on the other end Conrad Murray was not communicating, was not participating in the conversation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sounded as though the phone had been put down she heard a commotion she eventually hung up, she tried to get back in touch with Conrad Murray but was not successful. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">She indicated that this occurred about 5 minutes into the 11:51 phone call so about 11:56 11:57am is when the phone goes dead and she no longer is able to communicate with Conrad Murray.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At 12:12 we have a phone call from Conrad Murray to Michael Williams and a return phone call from Michael Williams at 11:15. W</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">ho is Michael Williams? Michael Williams is the personal assistant to Michael Jackson. He was not at the house on that day, he was actually in his own house in downtown <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Los Angeles</place></city>. But he receives his call, I believe he is in the shower at 12:12pm, you will hear the recording that Conrad Murray leaves Michael Amir Williams at that time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>"Call me right away, please. Please call me right away. Thank you"</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Getting this message that shows up at his phone at 12:13, Michael Amir Williams calls Conrad Murray back immediately and is told to get here right away, Mr. Jackson had a bad reaction. He is not told to call 911 he is simply told to get there right away from downtown Los Angeles to 100 North Carolwoodd in the Holmby Hills area. Michael Amir Williams makes a number of phone calls and eventually gets a hold of Alberto Alvarez who is at the location. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNyn4zEd5crqNWje8D4L9Le3znjTbY0WCZsCZFLQwsAeDBDLaMIbERDZiSLFIzmDuoZ_C6vMSEABcuxQroRAaxeLWCb2SXbDMe8fARWivLH-NnBnvnGQCYRN4NFW4o_HzqD-jakq6OPGw/s1600/security+trailer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNyn4zEd5crqNWje8D4L9Le3znjTbY0WCZsCZFLQwsAeDBDLaMIbERDZiSLFIzmDuoZ_C6vMSEABcuxQroRAaxeLWCb2SXbDMe8fARWivLH-NnBnvnGQCYRN4NFW4o_HzqD-jakq6OPGw/s400/security+trailer.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Alberto Alvarez is a security guard, he his part of Michael Jackson’s personal security. They actually were housed in this trailer to the side of the house. Alberto Alvarez being on site is told to go into the house and that there had been some kind of a problem and that Michael Jackson had a bad reaction according to Conrad Murray. Alberto Alvarez goes into the house and eventually goes upstairs, he goes up these stairs, gets up to the landing, proceeds into the bedroom where he sees what appears to him to be Michael Jackson’s lifeless body on the bed. Conrad Murray is giving CPR with one hand while Michael lay in the bed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Alberto Alvarez observes a condom catheter. He didn’t know it was called a condom catheter but he observes a device and tubing coming from the penis of Michael Jackson. What the medical experts will tell you is that this is a device to collect urine when you are literally knocked unconscious for surgical procedures. This is what he sees on the body of Michael Jackson when he comes into the room, and he sees what he appears to him a dead Michael Jackson.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Conrad Murray begins instructing Alberto Alvarez immediately upon his entering into the room and tells him ‘grab a bag’ and Conrad Murray grabs a handful of vials from the night stand and drops them into the bag. He also tells Alberto Alvarez to grab the saline bag with the bag hanging from the IV stand in the room and Alberto Alvarez does so. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Alberto Alvarez notes that it was actually a bag that appeared to be clear in nature and it had a bottle inside of it. A bottle that we later learn to be a propofol bottle. Alvarez complies with the requests of Dr. Murray and what we know is subsequently this is corroborated by law enforcement because when they go back to search the house on June 29<sup>th</sup> they find the bag<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and inside that bag is an empty saline bag which you will see in court but it is slit open from top to bottom and inside that bag, you will hear from the coroner’s investigator they found this 100ml bottle of Propofol inside the bag and you will hear testimony about the significance of that when the medical experts come in and explain it to you. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdIbUYnLJ1-l-Er8YrNFshW2tFSoUXT4utB_ctc_WP2dL7CllAv8c2MIp_YUwf-BiZ-K2SpPDBF_qIYZtbVW57BLcuACehzTW-XIbWXctgBjue0PCSwCoTgXHJNsQEjDGAaDW9yE9OqkI/s1600/tr11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdIbUYnLJ1-l-Er8YrNFshW2tFSoUXT4utB_ctc_WP2dL7CllAv8c2MIp_YUwf-BiZ-K2SpPDBF_qIYZtbVW57BLcuACehzTW-XIbWXctgBjue0PCSwCoTgXHJNsQEjDGAaDW9yE9OqkI/s400/tr11.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Following the commands of Conrad Murray Alvarez is then told to call 911. And he immediately does so. What you will learn is that the 911 call was made at 12:20pm. What you will also learn from the evidence is that that phone calls Call was not made at 11:56 or thereabouts when Sade Anding had heard the phone go dead and heard commotion in the background. That 911 call was not made at 12:12 pm when the defendant called Michael Amir Williams to say that there had been a problem, that 911 call was not made at 12:15 when Michael Amir Williams returned the call and spoke to Conrad Murray who only relate to him that he needed to get there right away. The 911 call was instructed to be made by Conrad Murray at 12:20pm. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now Emergency response was on the scene immediately however it was all together too late because Michael was already dead but the paramedics did respond to the scene and they took every effort they could to revive Mr. Jackson. You will learn that they got on scene on top of the patient at 12:26pm His Pupils, Mr. Jackson’s pupils were fixed and dilated, there was no pulse noted by any of the paramedics on scene, Murray had indicated that Jackson had been down <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">only a minute</i>, ‘I was just talking to him’. Although noone felt a pulse <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Murray</city></place> claimed that he did. This was not felt by any of the emergency medical personnel on scene. And when <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">specifically asked</i> what have you been giving him, what has he taken, the paramedics were told Lorazepam <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">specifically asked</i> what had been administered they were told Lorazepam, Conrad Murray <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never once mentioned</i> the administration of Propofol during his entire dealings with these emergency medical personnel. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">UCLA was on the phone with the paramedics and they pronounce Michael dead. Conrad Murray indicated he wanted to take over responsibility and that he would accompany Mr.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Jackson</city></place> in the paramedics’ rig. And that was agreed upon. So they transported MJ to UCLA in this photo here is the paramedics’ arrival to UCLA This is actually Conrad Murray here in this loose pants and a white tshirt, nearby some security I believe Faheem Muhammad, Alberto Alvarez, Michael Amir Williams and this is them entering UCLA the Emergency Room Area.</span><br />

Both doctor cooper and doctor Nguyen <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">specifically</i> asked Conrad Murray what has he been taking what have you been giving him He indicates he had been taking Flomax and he had some Valium the only agent that he gave him was Lorazepam.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael was eventually pronounced dead at 2:26pm on June 25 2009 Following this is a search at the house at 100 <place w:st="on">North Carolwood</place> Propofol bottles were found lying on the floor.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And ambu bag was found on the floor which I will talk about briefly in a moment.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But they did speak to Conrad Murray. Conrad Murray‘s attorneys, Mr. Pena who is in court today and Mr. Chernoff responded the phone calls of the detectives and an agreement was reached where they would meet at the Ritz Carlton on June 27, 2009 in Marina Del Rey. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And Mr. Pena and Mr. Chernoff showed up with their client Conrad Murray detective Smith and Detective Martinez showed up and the detectives were largely in the dark at this point as to what had caused the death, they did not have the toxicology results. There was no obvious sign of trauma indicating anything that they may be used to such as gun shot wounds or strangulation or knifing. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So this was an opportunity for Conrad Murray in the presence of 2 of his attorneys to tell them everything that he knew about what transpired. The detectives largely allowed him to do just that, to tell a narrative about what he knew about what had transpired during the night and day of June 25, 2009. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And what you will learn according to Conrad Murray, he was Michael’s personal physician. He was going to accompany him on the Tour he had been treating him a little over 2 months before Jackson’s death, he spent the night at Jackson’s home at least six nights a week and the purpose was to put Mr. Jackson to sleep…<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to sleep with the general anesthetic Propofol.</i> For over 2 months, he was giving <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Jackson</city></place> nightly doses of Propofol. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In this interview, 2 days after Michael’s death, this is the first time Conrad Murray mentioned the administration of Propofol. And what he says In his own words:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Detective: More than 10 times?</strong></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Murray: Yes</strong></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Detective: More than 30 times?</strong></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #444444;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times;">Murray: 30 days a month roughly everyday</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">30 days a month, roughly every day for over two months of his care that he was administering to Michael Jackson. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Conrad Murray then proceeded to give a timeline of events of that night. And he states that he had put in an IV in Michael Jackson’s leg to hydrate him. </span></div></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">That he started with the Valium at 1:30am</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At 2:00am he switched to Lorazepam, 2mg, b</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">ut Michael remained awake. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is all according to Conrad Murray</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At 3:00am he switches to Midazolam, he says he slept for about 12 minutes </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At 3:20am until 4:30 Michael is still awake according to Conrad Murray</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At that point, again according to Conrad Murray:</span></li>
</ul></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;"><strong>"He was still awake. It was 4:30 in the morning and he was wide awake. And then he complained. I got to cleep, Dr. Conrad. I have these rehearsals to perform. I must be ready for the show in England. And tomorrow I will have to cancel my performance. I have to cancel my trip because you know I cannot function if I don't get the sleep"</strong></span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Following that statement according to Conrad Murray at 5:00am, h</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">e gave another round of Lorazepam</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">followed by another round of Midazolam (<em>at 7:30am</em>)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">At 10:00am according to Conrad Murray, Mr. Jackson requested Propofol</span></li>
</ul></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>"I said if you got Propofol now, which of course he referred to as the milk, how much time, how much sleep you expect to have, you know you are going to be needed up no later than noon. and he said just make me sleep. Doesn't matter what time I get up. I said what will happen to you? Your rehearsal is already scheduled for today. He said I can't function If I don't sleep. They'll have to cancel it and I don't want to cancel it but they will have to cancel it. and I agreed at that time that I would switch the...over to Propofol"</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So the evidence will reveal according to Conrad Murray‘s words that once Michael Jackson indicated or he desired to cancel the rehearsal, Conrad Murray decided to give Propofol, once he knew that he did not have to get up at noon Conrad Murray’s decided to give Propofol. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What Conrad Murray indicates that he only gave 25 mg Propofol diluted with Lidocaine whether or not this was followed up with a continuous drip will be for you to decide. But the amount he specifies is 25mg of propofol. According to experts this would have put Michael to sleep for minutes, 5 -10 minutes depending on the person. When you know from Conrad Murray’s own words Michael Jackson had just said ‘cancel the rehearsal, I need to sleep’ The evidence will reveal that much more than 25 mg of Propofol was given in order to put Michael Jackson to sleep. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">According to Conrad Murray, it was slowly infused over 3-5 minutes and he went to sleep. To give you an idea of what a minuscule amount of propofol we are talking about.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3pjWVdaffIukwKu7e3pqDkOM49gj0LM3taPn_E64uzdQSH1ku5J2yMd_I-rp7NB5ukRlndIbKNsPuxWsjybvOXbp5ce3hPXwXAc1jH_CaTazLkoju7Hthqw87FxzzsCUaQ45KEEXpUVc/s1600/syringe25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3pjWVdaffIukwKu7e3pqDkOM49gj0LM3taPn_E64uzdQSH1ku5J2yMd_I-rp7NB5ukRlndIbKNsPuxWsjybvOXbp5ce3hPXwXAc1jH_CaTazLkoju7Hthqw87FxzzsCUaQ45KEEXpUVc/s400/syringe25.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">25 mg equals to 2.5ccs or 2.5 milliliters. In your standard 10cc syringe this is how much propofol Conrad Murray is admitting to giving on June 25. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But the evidence also shows that from the time from April 6, 2009 to Michael’s death over 155,000mg of propofol had been shipped to Nicole Alvarez’s apartment but according to Conrad Murray he gave just 25mg that nite.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Following the administration of Propofol, Conrad Murray indicates</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;"><strong>"I monitored him. I sat there and watched him for long enough period that I felt comfortable. Then I needed to go to the bathroom. So I got up, went to the bathroom to release myself of urine and also consider getting rid of some of his urination that he had put i the jugs overnight. Then I came back to his bedside and was stunned in the sense that he wasn't breathing."</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The medical experts will tell you that is called abandonment. To take a patient with valium, lorazepam, Midazolam, and propofol and to leave them unattended in that state is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">medical abandonment.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But according to Conrad Murray he was gone but for 2 minutes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;"><strong>"I was gone, I would say about 2 minutes"</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The evidence again as I already indicated shows phone records around this time, reflecting approximately 45 minutes worth of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>phone calls, for some reason around this time Conrad Murray decides to start making phone calls and conversing with other people right at the time when he indicates he had given the Propofol at 10:45am </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Back to the email at 11:17am it is at this time that Conrad Murray is responding the insurance broker while Michael lay in bed with all these drugs circulating thru his body, Conrad Murray is literally emailing the insurance broker, saying the reports about Michael’s health are fallacious. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Responding to the 911 call and the failure to call, you will hear from Conrad Murray himself that he doesn’t call 911</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;"><strong>"To speak to a 911 operator would be to neglect him"</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So why didn’t he have MWA call 911 when he called MAW at 12:12pm?</span></b><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times;">"I did not want him to...I couldn't him to call 911 because he would want to know what it was about and I have a patient that needs help and I'm trying to assist and I'm trying to do it the best I can and try to get help"</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In this same interview, Conrad Murray indicates the location of his medical bags. And you will hear the interview. The evidence will show Conrad Murray sounds surprised that the medical bags are not already in the custody of the LAPD. He makes a comment ‘oh you don’t have them?’ He then tells them where the bags are and they are recovered on June 29, 2009. And where they are recovered, this is the bedroom where Michael died, t</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">his is the large closet (<em>see diagram above</em>) </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The items were actually recovered in this upper chamber of this closet.</span></div><br />

Propofol bottles, Lorazepam bottles, Midazolam bottles, Lidocaine bottles, all recovered at that location.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now the standard of care, ladies and gentlemen. The standard of care in a medical case such as this hinges on a number of factors. And medical experts will testify to the standard of care and the gross lack of any standard of care exhibited by Conrad Murray. They analyzed the affirmative actions and they analyzed the omissions by Conrad Murray. And they characterize it as a minor deviation from care or serious deviation from care or an extreme egregious deviation from care. Extreme deviation from care meaning that the doctor acted with gross negligence, gross negligence which is the element of involuntary manslaughter.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Involuntary manslaughter is not an intentional homicide. It is a homicide as a result of one’s gross negligence and essentially indifference</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">So I’ma take you thru some of the factors of analysis in the standard of care. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will hear that the Propofol is a powerful anesthetic intended for use in highly monitored settings such as hospitals, operating rooms, intensive care units and surgical suites.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And you will hear from medical experts with unanimity that the improper setting represents an extreme violation of the standard of the care and it amounts to gross negligence on the part of Conrad Murray.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will additionally hear that propofol is for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia for mechanically ventilated patients and for procedural sedation, it is NOT indicated by any means for the treatment of insomnia. It is NOT an agent for the treatment of insomnia and to use it to put someone sleep in that manner is an extreme deviation from the standard of care and amounts to gross negligence.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will also learn that propofol requires continuous medical monitoring. It requires an electro cardiogram, an ECG, So you monitor the heart, It requires automated blood pressure monitor, Pulse oxymeter with an alarm and a capnograhy and a capnograhy measures the CO2 exhalations of your body, Blood pressure the ECG measures the heart.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">What did Conrad Murray have at scene? Well as I indicated, there was an ambu bag found on the floor. But Conrad Murray’s own tape-recorded interview, he makes no mention of using the ambu bag. In fact what you will learn from the coroner’s investigators is that when they recovered the oxygen tank near the bed and pulled it out of evidence after it had been booked into evidence, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the oxygen tank was empty</b>. Not only was the oxygen tank empty but Conrad Murray himself makes no mention of using this ambu bag which would have been hooked up to that oxygen tank. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">There was no capnograhy monitoring equipment , There was no ECG. He did, in the house, a blood pressure cuff was recovered. The blood pressure cuff was recovered <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in</b> the closet, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">inside</b> of a zippered black bag, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">inside</b> of this box, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">inside</b> of this second black zippered bag and by all appearances; it appears to be pristine, if not unused.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">How about pulse oximety? Pulse oximety measures the oxygen saturation in your blood and it is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">absolutely</i> a crucial component when administering agents such as this. However, as part of this absolute crucial component, it needs to have an audible alarm so when things go bad you know it. What Conrad Murray was using is this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">It is the least expensive pulse oxymeter probably on the market. It works just fine for particular needs and it is designed literally to be worn around a doctor’s neck as they make the rounds at a hospital. They clip it onto a patient’s finger and they spot check, they literally look at the reading on the monitor to get a reading of oxygen saturation levels. There is NO audible alarm on this pulse oxymeter if you are not literally staring at this tiny screen, this is utterly useless. And for hundreds of dollars more, Conrad Murray could have had a real pulse oxymeter <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">with an alarm</i>. It would not have justified him abandoning his patient but at least it would have been the security of an alarm when the oxygen saturation levels reach dangerous levels. This is what Conrad Murray characterize as the necessary safety measures. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Propofol requires immediate access to all standard resuscitation equipment and the drugs, this would include a crash cart, an automated defibrillator and emergency airway equipment such as endotracheal tubes so you can ventilate the patient get air into their system so you can bring them out of any dangerous situation. None of that was at the scene, none of them was recovered at the scene, nor does Conrad Murray mention of having any of that at the scene. This was another extreme deviation from the standard of care and amounts to a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">serious</i> neglect and gross negligence<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Propofol requires continuous presence, visual monitoring and vigilance. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">And if you are the type that is willing to abandon your patient</b>, then you need to make sure that there is another individual who is skilled in the area of resuscitation and medical care to monitor that patient with two eyes on the patient. It is absolutely critical when you are dealing with an agent such as Propofol but we know from <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Murray</place></city>’s own words that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">he abandoned Michael Jackson. </b>This including the abandonment, including the preoccupation with the email amounts to another extreme deviation gross negligence, gross medical care. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Benzodiazepines when combined with the Propofol in this type of setting, they contribute to the respiratory problems cardio vascular problems they heighten and exacerbate the dangers that already exist individually in each agent alone. So in this setting, without the necessary resuscitative equipment, this again is yet another extreme deviation that amounts to gross negligence</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Written informed consent. This is a process by which doctors discuss the procedure, a serious procedure such as this with their patient, they discuss the dangers, the alternatives, the complications, the risks, the benefits it is crucial that a patient go in informed right that time, before the procedure, before the sedation, before the anesthetic agent is used and with written informed signed that they willingly acknowledge the dangers. No such document was found or created. This is an extreme violation of the standard of care and this alone amounts to gross negligence</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Requires charting and documenting all vital signs and dosages at least for every 5 minutes. This is not only for the benefit of the doctor at scene so they could go back to their chart and realize what they gave at 2 in the morning, 3 in the morning so they don’t have to guess, it is also absolutely crucial in a setting such as this when emergency personnel responding and seeking out the truth and they can not find the truth. No medical documents were recovered and when they were subpoenaed and requested the only documents that were provided related to care months if not years before. No medical records documenting <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">any</b> of this care at 100 N Carolwood. This is an extreme egregious violation and it represents a gross negligence standing alone.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Basic common sense requires that 911 be called immediately. Basic Common sense and we know that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that</i> was not done. This is another extreme deviation from the standard of care and amounts to gross negligence. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Also note the relationship between the doctor and the patient. There was no doctor patient relationship; there was no relationship in which the doctor uses his medical judgment, his medical knowledge to advise the patient <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">to refuse inappropriate care, to walk away if that is the only option. </b>But to have a doctor patient relationship where the doctor is in charge of the care to be administered and <strong>if it is not an appropriate care then the doctor doesn’t provide it.</strong> No, what the evidence shows existed here was an Employer employee relationship where Conrad Murray was working NOT for the best interests of Michael Jackson. Not for the health of Michael Jackson. Dr Murray was working for $150,000 a month</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">He was an employee, he acted as an employee, he did not act as a medical professional using sound medical judgment. In an egregious and unethical violation of the standard of care, the evidence shows Conrad Murray deceived the paramedics. When specifically asked what agents had been given, he never once mentioned Propofol. As a team of paramedics worked to bring Michael back to life, Conrad Murray remained silent as to the propofol he had administered. This is an extreme unethical and unconscionable violation of the standard of care and is by itself a gross negligence.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">But this was repeated once again upon his arrival to UCLA where he deceived the emergency room doctors. When specifically asked by Dr. Nguyen, when specifically asked by Dr. Cooper what had been administered, Conrad Murray mentioned Lorazepam; he made no mention of Propofol to these doctors trying to save Michael’s life. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will hear from the doctors about these levels of gross negligence and you will hear their opinions in which they state that almost nothing that the defendant did reflects the actions of a trained physician. It instead represents the actions of an unskilled, non-medically trained individual. You will hear from an expert who will tell you the multiple breaches of the standard of care <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">directly contributed to Michael Jackson’s untimely death.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will hear from the experts that the defendant acted with gross negligence indicating a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">far greater concern for himself than his patient. </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And you will hear that Murray’s primary use of his medical training and licensure was to give Jackson access to unlimited supplies of Propofol that he administered with complete disregard to Michael Jackson‘s safety and for Michael Jackson’s life.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And put simply you will hear that Conrad Murray acted with gross negligence and an extreme departure from the standard of care and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">was a cause of Michael Jackson’s death.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ladies and gentlemen, this is a summary of the evidence you will hear in this case. The defense will obviously have an opportunity to present evidence, they will have an opportunity to present an opening statement if they so desire. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Regardless of what is presented by the defense in this case, there are certain facts that will be beyond dispute, there will be certain facts that will remain unchanged and unchallenged.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Conrad Murray as the doctor on scene had a Legal duty of care to use his best medical judgment to do no harm to Michael Jackson. </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Conrad Murray with his eyes on the anticipated $150,000 contract, instead agreed to provide Michael massive amounts of Propofol on a regular basis in Complete disregard of all acceptable medical care.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The evidence will also remain unchanged that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Conrad Murray figuratively and literally abandoned Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009. </b>He left this vulnerable man, filled with Valium, and Midazolam and Lorazepam and Propofol with NO medical monitoring equipment, NO necessary resuscitative equipment abandoned him to fend for himself<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. It violates not only every standard of care but decency from one human being to another. </b></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Michael was in that state, in that bed because of the drugs administered by Conrad Murray. That is why he was in that state, in that bed when Conrad Murray walked out of the room to make phone calls to go to the restroom or whatever he may have done. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Whatever theory the defense puts forward whatever evidence the defense puts forward, it will be clear that Conrad Murray abandoned Michael when he needed help, it was Conrad Murray’s gross negligence it was Conrad Murray’s unskilled hands and his desire to obtain this lucrative contract of $150,000 a month that led Dr Murray not only to abandon his patient but to abandon all principles of medical care. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Conrad Murray’s actions, Conrad Murray’s omissions to act directly caused the death of Michael Jackson</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">And at the close of all the evidence in this case, after you observed all the facts in this case, and after yabsorb the law in this case, The People will ask you, in no uncertain terms,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to return <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">with a verdict of guilty</b> for the solitary crime charged involuntary manslaughter, premised on the gross negligence of Conrad Murray.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thank you.</span><br />
