Just read this article from  Catherine Bach on her theory why her husband committed suicide. The poor woman still  only has a theory and no definite answers, but I'll post the link here as she says it was because of the TII tour and what happened to MJ that Peter took his own life.

Former “Dukes Of Hazzard” star Catherine Bach fears Michael Jackson’s death in 2009 prompted her lawyer husband to take his life – but she still cannot figure out why.
Peter Lopez shot himself as the first anniversary of the King of Pop’s death approached in April 2010. The entertainment lawyer, who represented Jackson and helped the superstar map out his ill-fated This Is It comeback dates, left no suicide note and Bach reveals her late husband didn’t drink or take drugs and the family was “financially stable.”
The actress only has one theory and tells tabloid The Globe, “He was the man responsible for putting the This Is It tour together. I think he felt responsible for what happened to Michael. That gave him a lot of grief.”
Jackson died from an accidental overdose of anesthetic propofol while he was in the finals stages of rehearsals for the planned This Is It dates in London.
Bach reveals she and her daughters are now over the worst of the tragedy thanks to family and friends, who have supported them through their grief. She adds, “We all fell apart. I was in a state of shock for a year. I wouldn’t sleep for weeks at a time, maybe just a few hours… (but) we’ve stayed very, very close to our priest. Our friends surrounded us with love and wouldn’t let me fall.”

3 years have passed, and still nothing about Peter Lopez death.Why I'm not surprised  :icon_rolleyes: .It seems that we will have to ask Raffles Dawson,Arnie Klein and brother Jermaine, about Lopez death.,then.

1) BeLIEve = Faked Death
2) Sony logo MAKE.BELIEVE = all the clues Michael is leaking to make audience believe he is alive and us to expand it, I never saw a so lasting logo as this of Sony WHICH will last until Michael's BAM IMO.
3) Look closely because the closer you think you are the less you will actually see = you will always think you are close to BAM but BAM will happen when you least expect it.

The truth is so well hidden that we may not find it for years and years...........   It's so obvious why Klein wasn't a witness during Murray's trial and he still is not a witness now during the AEG trial; he knows too much about all of these leeches, blackmailers and hangers on who were around Michael........

People seeming to have immunity from testifying under oath--Klein, Raffles, Tohme, Murray, Branca, and many more that are/were close enough to MJ to know key information. I think each are being 'saved' to 'reveal' in due time, for maximum effect. This is one collossal (understatement) reality show (bonus healing the world & restoring MJ's good name) spanning MJ career and beyond.

Debbie Rowe won't be called to testify this week in Michael Jackson wrongful death trial

TUESDAY, JULY 30, 2013, 1:29 AM



Debbie Rowe won't be called to testify this week but remains a probable witness in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial unfolding in Los Angeles, a defense lawyer said Monday.

AEG Live lawyer Marvin Putnam said Rowe, the King of Pop's ex-wife and the birth mother of his oldest son and daughter, "probably" will be called to testify but not until other witnesses including Michael's oldest sibling Rebbie Jackson take the stand.

Jurors also are expected to hear videotaped deposition testimony from Michael's youngest brother Randy Jackson, he said.

Bad news hurt Michael Jackson's earning potential, witness says
By Alan Duke, CNN



updated 9:30 AM EDT, Tue July 30, 2013

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Negative headlines about drugs and sex abuse charges greatly diminished Michael Jackson's earning potential, an entertainment consultant said.

Jackson's album sales dropped sharply from his peak and his "likability" rating turned dramatically negative after "significantly negative headlines, drug abuse and other issues," Eric Briggs testified.

Briggs' testimony in the wrongful death trial of AEG Live is intended to counter an expert hired by Jackson lawyers who concluded the pop icon would have earned another $1.5 billion from world tours had he not died while preparing for his comeback concerts.

AEG Live placed a big bet on Jackson's ability to sell tickets when it signed him to a three-year deal for his "This Is It" tour. While the company worked hard to convince Jackson in 2009 to let them produce and promote the concerts, it paid Briggs more than $700,000 to prepare testimony for this trial questioning Jackson's star power.

In fact, AEG Live executives bragged at the time about how Jackson's first 50 London concerts sold out in record time with enough potential buyers lined up to sell out another 50 shows.

If a jury decides that AEG Live is liable for Jackson's death, his lost earnings potential would factor into their determination of damages to be paid by the concert promoter.

Michael Jackson's drug use explored in trial

Michael Jackson's mother and three children are suing AEG Live, contending it negligently hired, retained or supervised the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in his death.

AEG Live lawyers argue that Jackson, not their executives, chose and controlled Dr. Conrad Murray and that they had no way of knowing about the dangerous treatments he was giving Jackson in the privacy of his bedroom.

They contend the singer was so deceptive and secretive about his medical treatments and drug use that even his family did not know. To help make their case, they'll play video of Jackson's youngest brother Randy being questioned about it. His testimony is expected to be shown to jurors after Brigg's testimony is concluded Wednesday.

Jackson's oldest sister Rebbie and ex-wife Debbie Rowe are also lined up to testify in the coming days. AEG Live is compelling their testimony, hoping to get revelations about Jackson's drug use.

Tuesday marks the 59th day of testimony in the trial, which the judge said could take another six weeks in a Los Angeles courtroom.

MJ's Q score

Briggs testified that he studied "Q score" data for Jackson, the trend of his album sales and his stability to conclude that Jackson had a low chance of earning money from endorsements and sponsorships.

An entertainment industry analyst hired by Jackson lawyers testified he was "reasonably certain" Jackson would have earned $300 million from endorsements and sponsorships.

Briggs disputed the estimate, saying that while Jackson was "a great performer" companies decide which celebrities to align their products with based on "likability" as measured by "Q scores."

Jackson's "Q score" in 1993 was in line with the average male musical performer, with about one person of every two surveyed saying they liked him, Briggs said. That was the year Jackson announced he had a problem with painkillers, and he entered rehab.

His score became dramatically negative over the next decade, Briggs said. By 2006, a year after he was acquitted in a child molestation trial, more than seven people said they disliked Jackson for every one who said they liked him, Briggs testified.

Companies would be "very anxious" about putting someone with such negative "likability" next to their products, he said.

Jackson lawyer Brian Panish will have a chance to question Briggs about his conclusions Tuesday.

Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars? Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, "I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight," people would say, "Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth."

LaPerruque: MJ saw me and said Mike! Came running to me, gave me a big hug. He asked if they could talk, I took him to a private room.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said he saw MJ about 2 weeks prior to his death. He was working for Janet, she threw a party for their parents at a restaurant.
Abrir
 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said he never thought of selling his story to the tabloids.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
"I was mad, but not mad at him," LaPerruque said. "Because of what I heard why we stopped working together." (financial reasons)

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque retained an attorney to speak with MJ's reps to enforce agreement they had. They settled.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said he tried calling MJ several times about getting paid but never heard back.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
MJ then moved to Las Vegas. He spoke with Raymone Bain, who said MJ had moved. He never heard from anyone about working again.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
This was in November 2007. He still didn't get paid.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque spoke with MJ. "He said he was very embarrassed not being able to pay me, he said he was going to make it right, apologized."

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
He stopped in the beginning of 2008. Work began in August of 2007, got paid in September and didn't get paid anymore until 2008.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
"The production company wasn't paying me for my services," LaPerruque testified.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said he stopped working for MJ due to financial difficulties. "I wasn't getting paid," LaPerruque explained.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said he did not have any concern with MJ being under the influence of prescription drug in 2007.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
The security head never told AEG about any of the concerns he had with Michael Jackson.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said he seemed happy, did not ask about how the meeting went.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
The meeting lasted a couple of hours, LaPerruque said. He escorted MJ to Penn Station, he wanted to pick up some doughnuts for the kids.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
"Michael seemed bright and alert at this meeting. He seemed excited," LaPerruque said.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
During this time, LaPerruque took MJ to NYC to meet with AEG Live execs. He escorted MJ into the room, probably 10 people or more present.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque had a written agreement to work as head of security for Michael Jackson. He worked for him for only a few months in 07.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
Based on the meeting, that's why he went back to work with him in 2007. His job was the same as before. He spoke with Raymone Bain.
Abrir
 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said Michael appeared bright, clear, energetic, full of energy. He wanted to do a lot of things.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
They met face to face, since the last time they spoke was in the Arvizo trial. He wanted to hear what MJ wanted him back.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
After meeting with him and speaking with his manager at the time, LaPerruque left the LA Times and went to work for Michael Jackson.
Abrir
 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque: At that time, my children had grown older, started their own things, always enjoyed the challenge working for MJ.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
"He kind of grew on me," LaPerruque explained. "I did care for the man."

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque: MJ always appreciated my loyalty, best security he ever had, asked me to return to work for him.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
Grace Rwamba called LaPerruque and said she wanted to meet him, had a message from Michael Jackson.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
In 2007, LaPerruque went back to work for Michael Jackson. He was still the head of security of the LA Times.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
He also worked on internal investigations, security of journalists working on hostile environment in Iraq.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque took other jobs. He became in charge for the security of LA Times printing plants and security of corporate office.
Abrir
 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said the other reason was the revenue stream, which was harder and harder, and financial matters were becoming an issue.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque: He and I had discussed me taking some time off.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
He said he saw MJ's litigation with the Arvizo family (molestation accusation), had been in court before and knew how demanding it was.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque: I was never home, I missed a lot my children, birthdays, holidays.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
First, he had two young children and at the service of MJ you work at his pleasure, you never had set schedule.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque said there were two reasons he stopped working for MJ.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
"I never saw him swallow a pill, never saw him take injections," LaPerruque testified.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
Putnam: Did you ever have an impression Mr. Jackson was trying to hide drugs from you?
LaPerruque: No.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
Putnam: Did you have any understanding MJ was taking Propofol?
LaPerruque: No

LaPerruque never discussed using Propofol with MJ.

LaPerruque asked the paramedics to put on their report the name he checked himself under, not MJ name.

"I wanted to be close to him, to protect him, to watch him," LaPerruque testified.

LaPerruque: It was part of my job.

 ABC7 Court News ‏@ABC7Courts 9h
LaPerruque: I'd take him back to his room and make sure he was okay. I would seat there and make sure that he was breathing.

LaPerruque would call the doctor. He said MJ complained about back pains, but he didn't ask every single time what the complaint was.
