LA Times Article/ AEG Attorney

when the real truth is out, no one will have to give any alternate explanations...it would crystal clear. just the truth and you. :icon_e_geek:

True that, Thriller, but until then it's going to be fun to watch them make everything fit in line with their brand of reality. We've been accused of it for long enough.

[Thriller4ever]

we're havin fun already!

I don't think this is necessarily about deaders v hoaxers - it might simply be a case of legal procedure. If AEG want to bring up the circumstances around MJ's 'death', not stipulating that MJ is dead allows them to do so. This is a good thing!  And I agree it is an incredibly hoaxy way of phrasing it!

both the parties have to agree to it. It has not been mentioned what the KJ attornies have to say about this.

^^^ What do you mean Thriller by, 'both parties have to agree to it'?

[Thriller4ever]

KJ and AEG...

edit: by 'stipulation' both parties have to agree upon certain conditions. In this case Putnam is not ready to agree upon Mj was dead.

[curls]

Isn't that the whole point?  They don't agree.  They don't have to.  Isn't that what stipulation is all about?  If both parties agree/stipulate on a 'fact' then they don't waste time with it in court.

Edit:  ...and if they don't agree, as in this case, then the subject in question will be thrashed out in court. Putnam obviously wants to examine MJ's 'death'.

[Thriller4ever]

well, we haven't heard anything from the Jackson lawyers...we can't really say what they are agreeing upon. The whole point is that the statement made by Putnam is hoaxy.

[Love4Michael]

I would think that the Defendants (AEG) would stipulate to the death itself... but not to the manner or method if they are still playing the MJ blame game.  It's interesting if this is a ploy to force the Plaintiffs to PROVE death itself.  Kinda scary actually as this doesn't feel like a BAM that Michael would have envisioned.  Being busted as a faker at the hand of AEG isn't likely to leave a good vibe with the general populous. I doubt that would be his plan.

We may be getting riled up for nothing too.  Misquotes...accidentally & intentionally...happen all the time.  Putnam may have said they weren't stipulating to the ABC's of the death and the reporter just chopped it up a bit.  Ain't editing grand...SMDH...but that sentence had my eyebrows pinned high too for a bit.  As with all other things these past years it's become standard protocol...if you can't witness the lips moving and hear the words coming out of them...nothing to do but wait and see where it fits or falls on the truth scale.

  I'm dumb-founded! I always felt the CM trial seemed scripted... and now I believe the AEG trial is [probably] scripted as well. Maybe the AEG trial will bring light to all the inconsistencies in Michael's death; the inconsistencies we have recognized years ago, but the general public ignores. Maybe it will shed light to all the non-believers and cause their eyes to open every so slightly.

Looking forward to the ride!

[rachel1018]

ok, so wait a second here, AEG lawyer wont say he's legally dead? am I understanding correctly?
the nonbelievers already jumped on this statement, saying: lawyer has lost his marbles!!!!

wow............

[ashprak247]

OMG!!!!

“@ABC7Courts: Before defense's motions were discussed, the attorneys for both sides had a heated discussion about whether Michael Jackson is indeed dead”

[ashprak247]

“@ABC7Courts: Jacksons attorney said "MJ is still alive, according to AEG." This was a jab at AEG's attorney who didn't stipulate to dismiss a juror yest”

[marumjj]

Wow! this is exciting, the declaration of Putman surprisingly "not stipulate That Michael Jackson was dead" if not specified then this is the trial?
why not say it and now? MJ is alive
