Always interesting to re-read TS's posts - thanks for the link MJonmind!
Thing is Charlotte, if murder WAS planned, and MJ knew the time and the place it was planned for, as LaToya's account implies, do you really suppose he'd have given some feeble 'help me' whispered to fans and then just rolled over and let the murderers get on with it?! He'd have been out of LA and into safety long before. And would the murderers have drawn attention to themselves by having a change of routine, hoards of extra security etc, knowing full well fans were familiar with MJ's every move, and would know something was up?
(Oh, and while I'm at it, that extra security story is somewhat 'iffy' - there was certainly no evidence of it in that spooky cctv footage we were shown in Murray's trial.)
No, what was witnessed that night was intentional - by MJ - I'm sure of it.
