Dr. Gardner suffered from an ailment called complex regional pain syndrome or as it was once known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy. It is a painful, progressive disease. He ended his life to end his suffering with the advanced stages of the disease. He died May 25, 2003, before the investigation started regarding Michael Jackson and the Arvizos. Investigations for that case started in June 2003. There is no documentation that Dr. Gardner spoke to Gavin Arvizo.
In May, 2003, Janet Arvizo sought the advice of lawyer Larry Feldman, who was the Chandler's lawyer in the 1993 case. Larry Feldman referred Janet Arvizo to Dr. Katz, not Dr. Gardner.
Dr. Stan Katz was Gavin Arvizo's doctor who reported allegations in June, 2003. As far as I know, Dr. Katz is still alive. Larry Feldman referred Janet Arvizo to Dr. Katz, not Dr. Gardner, however, Larry Feldman referred the Chandlers to Dr. Gardner, then paid a retainer for Dr. Katz in the 1993 case. Dr. Katz never performed a live interview with Jordan Chandler to evaluate his allegations against Michael Jackson.
According to the 2005 transcripts of the trial between the Arvizos and Michael Jackson in evaluation of the 1993 case during the 2005 trial, Dr. Katz testimony stated that in 1993, he was hired by Larry Feldman specifically to review ONLY the tapes of the interaction between Dr. Gardner and Jordan Chandler regarding the allegations and then from those, Dr. Katz provided his analysis and assessment from those tapes alone. Dr. Katz then reported back to Larry Feldman with his findings after viewing those tapes. So, Dr. Katz was hired by Larry Feldman in 1993 specifically to review those tapes between Dr. Gardner and Jordan. This means that Dr. Katz DID NOT EVER conduct a live interview to evaluate Jordan Chandler and furthermore, confirms that Dr. Katz was hired by Larry Feldman for the Chandlers AFTER the Gardner interviews in October, 1993. Tape viewing denied Dr. Katz to conduct his own interview with Jordan Chandler and therefore did not allow for new information to be uncovered because viewing tapes is not a person to person interview. The opportunity to ask questions is not possible through an evaluation that is conducted by tape viewing.
See Dr. Katz testimony, 2005 when asked about his role in the 1993 case:
13 My work was to review the videotapes that
14 were made between the victim –
15 Q. No, I'm — go ahead.
16 A. — and Dr. Richard Gardner.
17 Q. Okay.
18 A. And to review those tapes, those videotapes,
19 and to view them and analyze them to give my
20 feedback to Mr. Feldman.
It is easy to confuse the 1993 case with the Arvizos because the Arvizos sought mostly the same people for advice before making any allegations. The exception is the Arvizos never spoke to Dr. Gardner to my knowledge or research and there is no documentation indicating that they spoke. By the way, the Arvizos went to Feldman in May 2003, and their appointments were between May and June 2003. Since Dr. Gardner was suffering from the advanced stages of his illness, and he was 72 years old at the time of his death on May 25, 2003, it is NOT likely nor possible that Dr. Gardner spoke to the Arvizos as he was not well enough to do so before his death.
