Opening Statements Set In Michael Jackson’s Wrongful Death Lawsuit

[curls]

I hope they get to discuss the autopsy report - no indications of a terminally ill patient there!  Didn't it conclude he was pretty healthy for a dead guy? (That may have been TMZ's take on it, rather than the coroner's, but I'm sure someone described it as such!) More confusion!

At one point in the proceedings, the harsh portrayal of Jackson's struggle with addiction, led one juror to lean forward and stare at the floor for several moments.

What?

With that "What" do you mean that one juror is questioning such MJ's drug addition or that the theory doesn't fall into its place?

guess he fooled the coroner also   :icon_e_wink:

and if he looked like someone who was terminal then who did we see on that footage cause they didn't look too terminal.

...that would be the double I guess!!  Surely people in general have to start questioning these inconsistencies.  :icon_e_confused:

@curls, you would think...

Deaders are going to hold fast to their brand of truth, oddly. They'll do anything to hang onto it. Even lie to themselves if necessary. What a weird world we live in.

If I remember right, there were two coroner's report. The first one did portray him as being frail and a mess. But then the second one revealed him to be in a healthy state for a 50 year old male.

Michael Jackson Doc Had Huge Debts, Detective Says
The former cardiologist is not a party to the case, but he is a key figure in Katherine Jackson's negligent hiring case against concert giant AEG Live.

A police detective testified Wednesday about the depths of debt that Michael Jackson's doctor faced while giving the singer treatments of the powerful anesthetic that killed the pop superstar.

Los Angeles police Detective Orlando Martinez said in a case filed by Jackson's mother against concert giant AEG Live that Conrad Murray faced student loans, home loans, child support obligations and credit card payments that were in arrears in 2009. Plaintiff's attorney Brian Panish said the debts totaled nearly $1 million.

Martinez has said the debts may have led Murray to act inappropriately in his care of Jackson in order to ensure he received $150,000 a month payments from AEG Live LLC to serve as the singer's tour doctor.

"He may break the rules, bend the rules, do whatever he needed to do to get paid," Martinez said Tuesday. "It might solve his money problems."
Murray's finances were not a factor in the criminal case that ended with his 2011 conviction for administering a fatal dose of propofol to Jackson.

The former cardiologist is not a party to Katherine Jackson's negligent hiring case against the concert promoter, but he is a key figure. The Jackson family matriarch contends AEG did not properly investigate Murray before allowing him to serve as Jackson's tour physician for the ill-fated "This Is It" shows planned for 2009.

Martinez testified he found most of the debts against Murray in public records.

Martinez's testimony Wednesday was bogged down by continuous objections from AEG attorneys and the detective spent most of an hour-long session authenticating public records. He testified briefly about Murray's phone records before court recessed for the day so that an alternate juror could attend a funeral.

AEG denies it hired Murray, and its attorney has noted that Jackson and his children had been treated by the doctor before the shows were planned.

Martinez is the second witness called in the case, which in its early stages will focus on Jackson's death. Potential witnesses later in the trial include stars such as Diana Ross, Quincy Jones and Spike Lee. Jackson's mother, several siblings and his two oldest children, Prince and Paris, are also listed as potential witnesses.

Millions and possibly billions of dollars are at stake in the trial, which may last 90 court days.

AEG attorneys said they intend to call Murray as a witness. He remains in a Los Angeles jail and is appealing his conviction.

AEG Live is a subsidiary of the Los Angeles-based Anschutz Entertainment Group.

I think it's curious that TMZ have not reported anything about this trial so far at all (unless I have missed something?)

Well they did say in their article about Paris hanging with Debbie that "We'll be in court for the opening statements, so stay tuned."

I see that no news reported about this trial here in germany...not in tv news, or the print news papers. I have to say i don't read yellow press and don't watch RTL and the other trash.
But a trial about 40 billion against AEG....isn't worth to report ?
Is there a trial at that court house ? Is anyone from us in LA and can go there ? I have my doubt's....it's all hoax ?

Exactly the same here in the UK, seemingly a blackout of the trials existence. Last night I said the very same to my Husband, so he grabbed the remote and looked through every news channels headlines, not just the UK channels, but CNN, SKY and even the teletext for entertainment news and he came to the same conclusion, nobody is reporting.

This is about Michael Jackson for goodness sakes, the guy they couldn't get enough of through life and 'death' so why is there not a single whisper. I smell a conspiracy big time, do they suddenly realise they've all been duped?
