Photo Used In Trial - MJ At The Hospital

[katy (MJFAN7)]

First, I wasn't understanding how nonbelievers still think this isn't a hoax after seeing that picture, but what i REALLY dont understand is how believers are giving up over it. Whhaaaattt? suspicious//

If an ambulance photo can be faked...so can this one. suspicious//
 
I understand the prosecutions need for an emotional "punch" to the gut right from the start...but to be honest, this picture could be one of Michael in a recovery room before he woke up and taken at anytime in his life. The catheter bag is still in place and the breathing tube....this looks more like a "post surgery" picture.  It is not considered "legal" evidence, nor marked as such and who took the photo is not mentioned. So this clearly looks staged.
 
Coroner photos would have been more accurate and effective (if the prosecution were shooting for "realism")....still "reasonable doubt" comes to mind....a theme I'm sure will be played over and over in this trial.

I clearly circled the 2 inconsistencies that i found...


1. His "wrist" appears to be smaller then his arm width, looks really fake to me, like it's a doll that was "put together" like a mannequin

2. The shifting of colors around his head, looks like that part of the photograph was photoshopped onto the rest...the bed rail looks discolored and his chin apparently has darkened.

I now know why they have only been releasing black and white photos until TMZ cleaned up this one, because clearly something is wrong in this photo.


You can save this photo on the net, open it up in another program and take it to 200x zoom and you will see what I'm seeing

First of all, a warm welcome to you.


And yes, I saw it too. The lower face doesn't match the upper. The line of the tape separate the two with what appears to be a clear cut n paste line.


I'm not so sure it's shopped as much as staged. If you're going to go through all the trouble to stage the ambulance pic, then why stop there.


The "shop" lines might have been added to cast doubt or induce it. My gut says MJ hopped up there for the shot. A dash of Hollywood magic and a sprinkle of psudo-shopping and viola! perfectly raw, gitty, gasp-worthy death shot that would leave everyone (believers, hoaxers, general public, and media) guessing...


The point isn't to hand us proof. The point is to entertain us, all of us, just some of us get our own special brand. Non-believers get to share in the gen pub/media brand of hoax (he's dead! and it's juicy...) while hoaxers get the perpetual proof-tease. The family slips up (doh!  bounce/ )/the family says he's murdered (aww  errrr ), etc. repeat for each set of characters ad infinitum or until BAM, whichever comes first.

The video they played yesterday when Alvarez was testifying showed a place in the hospital - there's a room that looks just like the one in the photo. He was supposed to protect that room so I really don't know who could even take that kind of a picture of anyone.

Isn't MJ kinda fat here. Look at his belly area. When you're laying down your abdomen is even more sinking into your gut. No hint of emaciated Michael except for his ghost legs :lol: and scrawny wrist.

Do the people who think this photo is real forget how long Michael's legs are?  The "death" photo cuts him off at the knees.

Thx for posting these pictures.
Since a kid, I have been mesmerized by Michael's dancing and I would dream of having his Loooong legs.
When i saw the gurney picture, I shook my head and laughed.
As the trial goes on, non-believers will become more confused.

yummy. thanks for posting.... all this hoax talk, and heavy reading and investigating... sometimes its nice to take a break and look at the basic simple beautiful things that get lost amongst the investigation. gorgeous legs. i'd love to be climbing them! xx

Let's leave the leg climbing to the overactive chihuahuas. Respect for Mr. Jackson, please, AustrailianBeliever.

Here's something to chew on!  The video posted below clearly used a mannequin for some of the costume fittings, if not all.  This same sickly image could very well be the same image seen in the now infamous "death" photo.  In which case it should be entered into evidence as exhibit 1 "The King of Prop" death photo!

@bec, sorry forgot abt the minors. its just that the man has one sexy stride!

will ensure my posts are 'G' rated in future... sorry for offending

cheers x

Hi everyone  bearhug  Its been a long time, but this new site scares the beegeebees  OMG!  out of me. I get lost and confused on where to go  :oops: .
Anyway, just wanted to add a couple thing that are bugging me if I may. I still believe that Michael is alive. However, that "deathbed pic" knocked me out of my socks when I saw it and I litterally fell to the floor. I agree with most of what is being said about the pic, but there are a few things I dont. Just for the record, any tubing,tape,IV, or any resussitation devices that are connected to a dead body can only be removed by the coroner. Therefore, any outside tubing is disconnected and anything in the body has to stay. Thats why the tube in the mouth would be there. Also his hair...In TII he had curls, but his hair was long and so were the curls. So in a grainy photo, if his hair is pulled back under his neck, you are not going to see the curls. I believe his wigs were straight, but HIS hair was the beautiful curls, which is how he probably slept.
And last is the hospital gown. I agree that what we heard was he was unclothed when he was brought in, but I would like to think that the hospital would have the decentcy to put a gown on him before his children and family seen him. So that is why I believe he had a gown on.
Ive always been 50/50, however the testimonies today have tipped me more on the 80/20. But with this mess, we can never let our guard down or we'll get hit with something. I hope I didnt offend anyone, just wanted to shed some light in case theres that 1% chance we're wrong.

um..yea why is his belly sticking out?  WTF??

[Coco]

I think the image looks like this on purpose.
As in, we're meant to be having doubts and questioning its legitimacey...
But, why? What is the reason for it?

(Also, if the photo is found to be fake will there be trouble.
And couldn't Michael just have posed for the photo appearing to be dead.
Why does there have to be questionable editing? Hm.)

Probably not explaining myself too well, here. :?

There is NO WAY in hell the D.A. would put up this picture PLUS play that horrible audio of MJ and NOT tell his family in advance. His mother is in her 80’s, she could have gone into cardiac arrest from the shock of it all.  Unless they didn't worry due to having a cardiologist in the room?

The video they played yesterday when Alvarez was testifying showed a place in the hospital - there's a room that looks just like the one in the photo. He was supposed to protect that room so I really don't know who could even take that kind of a picture of anyone.

This looks like a viewing room. Chairs set up, possible social worker in stilettos, etc. They could have put the sheet over his head, which is why the bed appears empty, but I see what looks like dark hair in the upper left corner. Remember, this was all probably taped on some other day, as he had a early flight to catch!  And keep in mind, UCLA does rent out to movie companies, as do the fire department, etc. Maybe this is actually a sound stage?

[50th_State_Believer2]

Does anyone know how many feet the gurneys are? (size in length). I would like to compare the length of it from end to end with the obviously fake photo of MJ laying there...to see how wrong the length of dimensions of his different body areas would come out to be compared to the length of the gurney - (length of torso, thighs, legs from knee downward..)
