Flanagan QUITS on Murray

[Faithad777]

I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Flanagan will go to court to file a lawsuit against Chernoff or the Murray defence team based on law errors which might lead to a retrial in which the defense would then seek to put Murray on the stand.  :judge-smiley:  The 'KEY' on the stand :icon_e_wink: that could be interesting.

TS' redirect of 22 January on the court updates about the appeal in March could be a hint that there can be changes.

How will this saga will continue to unfold....... (where's my popcorn :icon_geek:)

If the verdict were to be reversed on grounds of an error of law by the court or over an issue of admissibility of evidence or flawed jury instructions, leading to a retrial, the defense would then seek to put Murray on the stand, Flanagan said.
Wass, who is working on an appeal for Murray, suggested that jurors might have been influenced by information they inadvertently saw about the case through social media that they were allowed access to during the trial.

Everlasting, thanks for all the good links!  Just wondering if there could be a parallel between Murray wishing he had testified at his trial to help pursuade the jury to give him a not guilty verdict-- blaming his lawyer Chernoff for urging him to not testify; and Michael wishing he had not listened to his lawyers urging him to pay off the Chandlers in 93, which led to the public's distrust of his innocence after even the 2005 trial proclaimed him not guilty.

Does anybody here believe the drama between Chernoff and Flannigan is true?  In the docu Flannigan says, FU to Chernoff in front of the camera, and it all seems staged, but maybe I'm over hoaxed.

[Murray was found guilty of manslaughtering an alleged victim on an alleged date of an alleged incident.

And what a damn joke, that the world (primarily MJ fans) not only watch on, but are ok and in fact happy that he is incarcerated for an alleged murder on an alleged victim. We have an appauling brand of so called 'criminal justice' amongst the judical system thesedays (NB: Don't worry, I don't believe CM is in prison. :icon_e_wink: )

All too common a scenario of African Americans in court if you ask me. Make ya sick.  :icon_e_sad:

Yep!

Jackson Comforted By To Kill A Mockingbird Movie

More Sharing Services
MICHAEL JACKSON kept his spirits up during his recent child molestation
trial by watching movie classic TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.
Jackson's movie making pal BRYAN MICHAEL STOLLER insisted the film would
help to cheer his friend up, despite its dark subject matter and the fact the
storyline aped his own real-life problems.
Stoller tells MTV NEWS, "It's his favourite movie. He has an actual
35-millimetre print of the movie.
"I said to him one day, 'You're living To Kill a Mockingbird right now -
it was all about a black man who was on trial. And you're innocent. It was just
really weird that was his favourite film even before these allegations
happened."

Well, since Andrea restarted a thread on Murray's appeal, I thought it should be mentioned about the relationship between Flanagan and Wass.  Seems it was once steamy!

Yeah, I am still trying to digest this "affair".....this is turning into such a soap opera.  Classic.
She's the "sacrificial lamb" ha?  Much like Michael was the sacrificial lamb for the media all
those years.  I have to admit.....it's a twist I did not see coming.  I am just going to sit back,
and keep tuned in........I have a feeling there's much more.
Thanks for posting this article, MJonmind.  It's unbelievably believable!

Blessings

Oh :icon_mrgreen:

Drama!

Murray, who witnessed the January incident between his attorneys, issued a strong statement of support for Wass in his call from jail.

"In recent weeks, I became keenly aware that a slew of disparaging remarks and personal information about my appellate attorney, Valerie Wass, were unjustly released to the media and the public," Murray said.  "Because of this injustice, I am impelled to stand up for this woman, for whom I have the utmost respect and confidence."

Wass completed work on the appeal even though "with the blink of an eye, all of her promised assistance vanished; they abandoned ship," Murray said.

Responding to CNN on Sunday, Flanagan said he had no comment.

"Although she needed help, she did not quit, did not jump ship, nor did she succumb to pressure while others abdicated their responsibilities," he said.   "She held steadfastly to her professional and moral conduct, which was bolstered by her amazing mettle of mind and spirit."

Murray said Wass "stood up for me amidst a most arduous and challenging series of obstacles, and whose loyalty remains indisputable.  It is my belief that she took a personal hit for me, and I want to  let her know that I'll forever be grateful."

@    everlastinglove   it  seems that Murray has a key role in this case.

:icon_razz:            Without a doubt....  :icon_e_wink:

[use_your_illusion]

He should have quit ages ago, might have saved the rest of his 'rep'...he is quite the character. Or maybe they forced him to quit...can't have the whole courtroom falling asleep again now can we?
Remember how priceless his reaction was when David Walgren used him as a hypothetical...those were good times...THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES FLANN!!!!!

[MJonmind]

He kept glaring at people in the courtroom over his glasses, including Murray. >:(

Is this Wass?  I'm not letting go of you... :icon_lol: This was at a CM sentencing and press conference.

And during the CM docu, wasn't it Flanagan's wife at the table talking about how weird MJ was, or am I mistaken?
