Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Conrad Murray

L.A. Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor will be hearing multiple Motions this afternoon in Los Angeles including if the trial will be televised. Judge Pastor did allow Phil Spector’s trial to be televised so there is hope which would make is so much easier to cover.

  1. BEVERLY says:

    TMZ—CONRAD MURRAY TRIAL TO BE TELEVISED——–Judge Michael Pastor handed down a surprise order.The trial will not only put the spotlight on Michael’s death,but the manner in which the maeical community treats celebrities,Opening statements should begin the first week in April :whoopdeedoo:

  2. BEVERLY says:

    OMG.OMG OMG.DR MURRAY DEFENSE——-MJ was in failing heath.Michael Jackson was in such a weakened state before he died,it is unfair to blame his death on Profocol.Dr Murray’s team will argue at the time of his death Jackson;s body was failing him,partly because he was driven over the edge by AEG to rehearse.The upshot of the defense is even if the jurors believe Murray administered the fatal dose,Jackson was already in failing health.,Dr Murray’s lawyers will argue Jackson himself administered the fatal dose when Murray left the room.NOW IN EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY,what the hell are they saying,MY OPINION,they are saying Murray MURDERED Jackson.Nothing like your own Attorney’s hanging you.YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A DOCTOR,who already knew Michael was in a bad physcial condition,who did not have equipment READY AND AVAILABLE FOR USE,and sure as hell did not seem to care.Dr Murray is a cardio doc.when you go to him,NO ONE IS IN EXCELLANT HEALTH.so if his pts were to die,O SAD TO BAD.It is not “Involuntary manslaughter”Murray own lawyers are saying Murray already knew Michael was in bad shape,yet night after night repeated the profocol.. :lotsocoffee:

  3. DiamondGirl says:

    I’m backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

    Well first off, the autopsy report shows that Michael’s was in great shape for a man of 50 old. So that defense will be shot down in a heartbeat. There have been reports and I believe testimony that Michael was looking forward to the concert series. His children would finally experience what their father did for a living and would see for themselves all that went into a concert performance.

    Actually they are saying Michael committed suicide and murray supplied the drug if what you are saying is the defense is true. But I don’t know where you got that info from.

  4. BEVERLY says:

    I do wonder how Tru TV will carry Michael Jackson trial in April,and Casey Anthony trial in May. :whoopdeedoo:

  5. BEVERLY says:

    DIAMONDGIRL—–TMZ

  6. DiamondGirl says:

    Thanks Bev. All this spin as to murray’s innocence is something else isn’t it? I have read where murray was videoed with his patients surrounding him. Apparently it was on Headline News, so I can’t link it. The man just keeps seeking a photo op doesn’t he?

  7. BEVERLY says:

    DIAMONDGIRL—Sign of a quilty conscience,using the media,only it makes him look more than quilty.I do believe Michael wanted to do 50 shows,but his body was not up to that mamy,I give anything to dance the polka again,my feet will not go.my mind says yes,my body no.Iam sure glad it is spring when these cases will be on TV,I will never miss a minute

  8. Beth says:

    Here you go on the video for Dr M surrounded by his patients…
    http://www.khou.com/news/Conrad-Murray-visits-Houston-patients-115386984.html

  9. BEVERLY says:

    Thank you Beth——-That will cut no ice with a intelligent thinking jury,Murray is not in court to see how popular he is.You can see why the elderly are the first to be taken advantage of.In fact,did I read somewhere where Murray was in trouble for overbilling medicare .Murray is on trial for how he handled Michael Jackson,and Michael’s medical problems,not what he did for others.WHY is Michael dead?I do not believe for a minute Michael used the profocol on himself.

  10. DiamondGirl says:

    Thanks Beth for the video link. What a self serving article that was. The way I took it was murray was the only doctor available to those patients since they were so poor. The one woman was resigned to be a patient of his, but that was my impression only. Damn shame that that clinic has no other CARING doctor available to them. No wonder he hasn’t been sued for medical mal practice, these patients wouldn’t have a clue about lawyers and their practices.

    Beverly, O I think Michael would have done all 50 concerts. If you figure it out, that would have been 2 concerts a week since the series was running from July to March. Mybe one or two would have been postponed but he would have completed it.

  11. Beth says:

    You are welcome Beverly and DiamondGirl.

    O/T >> re: Keith Olbermann *** Rose and Ken, did you read about this new info on Keith O’s new job? ***

    http://www.tmz.com/2011/02/08/keith-olbermann-al-gore-current-tv-news-chief-news-officer-msnbc/

    Keith Olbermann Takes Gig With Al Gore’s TV Network
    2/8/2011 10:30 AM PST by TMZ Staff

    “Keith Olbermann has a brand new home — Al Gore’s Current TV … where he’ll take the position of “Chief News Officer” and host a new 1-hour nightly show.
    The show is set to debut in the spring — it’ll be the first time Keith will host a show since he abruptly parted ways with MSNBC last month.

    Gore — who serves as Chairman of Current TV — says he’s “extremely honored and delighted” about Keith … calling him a “great fit with Current in every way.”

    Gore also said Olbermann will be able to make political donations in his new job — explaining, “We believe at Current that every citizen has freedom of speech, and that freedom of speech includes the ability to donate to candidates of your choice.”

  12. Beth says:

    A bunch of information on Keith in this link >> http://current.com/keith-olbermann/

  13. BEVERLY says:

    Thanks again beth.you cannot keep and good man down,When one door closes,a window does open.I myself have never watched “Currant TV” but I will now.

  14. BEVERLY says:

    ~o) Good Morning—Well, I took part of last evening and this morning to read every article I could find on Dr Conrad Murray,and I found every article printed the “facts”differently.I will be glad to have this trial televised,to get the facts straight.I myself find it hard to digest,the defense theory that Michael injected himself with the profocol,remember Dr Murray gave Michael other meds as well,now while Michael did not fall asleep until he was given profocol,while Michael was under,those other meds worked on his body,I cannot see Michael alert enough to inject himself.For $150,000.00 a month,Dr Murray careless and UNPROFESSIONAL care of his supposed “friend” left his “friend” dead.I have noticed being on the internet,and I am not sure if I will word this the right way,but OQ who needed his name on all his ”kind deeds” and now Dr Murray showing his ”kind deeds” have one thing in common,My OPINION—Trying to mask a gulity conscience,to the public one face,in reality another face(greed)If whoever payed for Dr Murray payed for the right equipment along with anesthetist.that would be correct treatment,WHY was it not done the correct way,thus satisfying Michael and doing correct medical practice :mornincoffee:

  15. DiamondGirl says:

    Ever since Michael Jackson was murdered, murray has been playing to the media. From the “I am innocent” you tube video till the video of his poor patients and him treating them once again. He was photograhed at trying to see Jackson’s vault at Forest Lawn, been hailed as a life saver on an airline flight, TMZ’s video of him stating how he thinks of Katherine as his own mother and loves her. Let me say this as plainly as I can… HE MAKES ME SICK. And imo, he murdered Jackson.

    It seems to me that murray got his arse in a jam for various reasons, child support, mortgages, equipment etc etc… had been sued for lack of payment on different issues and had even been arrested at least once for spousal abuse. So when he fled after Jackson died. to Texas to “get a lawyer” he knew that he did not have to speak to any LE without legal council. If one believes that murray did indeed ask for all the necessary equipment to be available, then why did murray even begin any “treatment for insomnia” without in all in place? If it was requested just for England, again why did he start treating Jackson with propofol?

    The man lacks morals and ethics in his professional life and his personal life. He is using his poor patients as media props, it is a damn shame that thesd people cannot chose a better clinic than the one they are stuck with.

  16. Roxanne says:

    Here’s a fact for ya….. Profanol has NO KNOW effectiveness on restful sleep. Meaning, it will put you to sleep but it’s not actual sleep like lying down in a bed at night and going to sleep. It is a chemical sleep that keeps a patient knocked out for surgery. It is usually given in small incerement doses during the surgery to keep the patient asleep the whole time. Otherwise the patient will wake up during surgery. That is the reason that a paralying drug is given at the beginning of the surgery….. incase the patient suddenly wakes up they will not be able to move there by hurting themselves or causing the surgeon to hurt them…….

  17. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl—-That is the reason I am glad this trial will be televised,either Michael was well enough to do 50 concerts or he was not,and if the Attorney’s for Dr Murray are saying he was in failing health,what is there explanation for there client,Dr Murray administering a highly dangerous drug,which needed strict observation right equipment and constant attention(not leaving Michael for one minute)The call to his girlfriend was not a emergency,there was not stat call from the hospital.If Dr Murray truly believed his “friend” Michael was in failing health,he would have went through any body and made sure Michael was safe at all costs,I just love your frankness,He also makes me sick

  18. DiamondGirl says:

    16. I have had propofol before at the oral surgeon’s office and at the hospital for procedures to be done. I do not know if I have been given that during any of my surgeries. I think the benefit that Michael got out of it was that it knocked you out fast. There was no tossing or turning, no thoughts running through the head about all the details of life. One minute you are saying 100 and the next second to say ninety…….. and you are out.

    After watching “This Is It” video many times, you see that Jackson was very involved in every aspect of the upcoming tour. How he wanted things to be filmed, seen and experienced was all done with his approval. He selected his band and dancers. I can’t imagine all that goes on behind the scenes that we did not see.

    I believe that Jackson was scared to death of this concert series. Not because he wouldn’t complete it but how he would be received again after so many years and events that took place. I don’t believe that he knew how much he was adored by his fans all over the world. I think he also was worried about how his children would take the concert tour.

  19. Ken says:

    New article up

  20. Liann says:

    I too have had proprofol because of surgery and I speak from experience, that is nasty shit. my body went into shock and it took over a year to recover and I was 32 fit and healthy, I bounced back but it took time. Roxanne #16 is ABSOULTY correct!!!. Proprofol is not made to have a restful sleep. IMO the BS imo that MJ was murdered in opinion is bs. Who in their right mind would use that drug for sleep or administer that for sleep problems???… I think both are culpable blameworthy. Was MJ so far gone that he did not know what he was taking repeatedly to sleep?.. Was his trust put into Murray so deep that he allowed him to magically knock his ass out not knowing what was administered? I doubt not. Murray is facing imo what he should.

    I think that MJ should not be dead and he had alot to offer but I think he is culpable in his own demise, Murray should pay for his actions.

    All imo.

  21. Liann says:

    What makes MJ be put on a pedestal and not be recognized as human? ( I dunno ) He was flawed and I don’t know as you all don’t know if he was guilty only him and God and the ones involved know. I am not judging that at all. He was major f’ed up imo!. I am glad that the trial will be televised and so much will be exposed. Just because the guy could sing and dance and bring people back to their childhood does not mean he was a saint in anyway. I feel for his children because they lost their father and that is sad but the ideology of him gives me the willies. We all have different thoughts and why he was what he was and that is because he put it out there imo. I hope with this trial being televised his children are sheltered from the lawyers and bs that is about to happen and they are allowed to remember their father as they want too or knew him..

  22. BEVERLY says:

    LIANN—-Michael was given by the Amighty a special gift(his talent).,I admire that talent,My nephew saw one of his shows,He has never stopped raving how much effort into choreography,special effects,singing,and how much he put into every show.I admire Michael as a person and my feeling’s are substantiated,by a Attorney who I respect and admire (Thomas Mesereau),From what I have been seeing,Michael was USED a lot,yes he was childlike,therefore USED,people will believe what they want,that is there right,but no one can excuse Dr Murray’s unprofessional,un ethical,and downright dangerous behavier as a physcian.What is sad is it appears people with money are treated a lot worse,,than people without,It turns my stomach to hear,”well if Dr Murray did not give him profocal,someone else would.,that is a LOUSEY excuse,IF Michael could not get it,what could he do about it.Put the blame on the person that would do anything for money. :mornincoffee:

  23. BEVERLY says:

    PS—-Dr Murray got and administered the profocol to Michael Jackson.Now I want to know ,what were his intentions.to put Michael to sleep,he did not mean to harm Michael,well my question is,did murray do anything to prevent harm comming to Michael via profocol.We are talking about a doctor.what was in his mind dealing with a dangerous drug,what was Dr Murray preventive measures,NONE

  24. DiamondGirl says:

    Of course propofol is not made for a restful sleep as I have explained in previous posts. It is a drug that knocks one out fast. While you had a reaction to the drug, doesn’t mean that everyone experiences the same thing. I had no reaction to it other than going to sleep. And quite frankly, I don’t remember any dreams, nightmares or even turning over while under in influence of this drug. What did Michael feel? Who knows but apparently it worked for him. Is it the right way to fall asleep, nope.

    I don’t know who is putting Michael on a pedestal or even considering him to be a saint, certainly not me. BUT I do know a lot was written about Jackson that was a lie. I do know that Sneddon has been accused of falsifing evidence against Jackson. I do know that if given the chance to put my molester in jail, I would have testified at a trial unlike JC. I do know that I have worked in the insurance industry and have witnessed how people will sue and commit insurance fraud to gain any money. I do know that I would have never named my new born child after the man who supposely molested my children. I could go on but I won’t.

    From the time that Jackson was 4 or 5 years old, he was rehearsing or performing. I think many people would get f’ed up. But is he considered f’ed up because of the many surgeries? The eyeliner tatoo? The lips? Why do you consider him f’ed up?

    I remember a Michael Jackson who got involved with a child who was dying of a strange disease that was unheard of in the United States. This disease terrified everyone because it certainly meant death to whomever contacted it. I remember seeing Jackson with this child, giving of himself and giving this child memories, that only Jackson could give. The child of course was Ryan White.

    As far as murray, yes he murdered Jackson. Jackson has already paid the price for his choice, he can’t pay anymore than with his life. Did murray intentionaally murderer Jackson, nope but it was his actions that caused his death. If murray had not choosen to change his procedure that night, would Jackson still be alive? The mixture of drugs that murray administered that night/morning, compromised Jackson’s resporitory system before he even gave him the propofol. The oxygen tank that was in the room was empty. Do you realize that murray ordered over 4 gallons of propofol during those 8 weeks? That he lied to the pharmacy about the use of where it was going? That he was on the phone for 47 minutes while supposly taking care of Jackson and administering these drugs? Yes, imo, he murdered Jackson.

    Just one more thing, what do you base your beliefs on concerning Jackson? Media reports? Media reports of the criminal trial?

  25. Roxanne says:

    18
    but it’s not “sleep”….. I can’t really explain what I mean by what I said.

  26. Roxanne says:

    4 gallons….. wow….. that, in my opinion, proves that MJ was being given repeated heavy doses. I don’t believe that Murray was “weening” MJ from the drug. I understand what you are saying DG about murder but I’m speaking of “BY LAW” the definition of murder doesn’t fit.

    Elements to murder:
    1.7. Elements of murder
    In order to prove that you are guilty of violating California’s murder law, the prosecutor must prove the following three facts (otherwise known as “elements of the offense”):
    1.that you committed an act that resulted in death to another person (or a fetus),
    2.that you committed the act with malice aforethought, and
    3.that you killed without lawful excuse or justification.15

    4.3. Involuntary manslaughter
    Prosecutors can charge you with Penal Code 192(b) PC California’s involuntary manslaughter law when you kill another person
    1.without malice,
    2.without an intent to kill, but
    3.with conscious disregard for human life.45
    Example: Defendant buys illegal drugs for himself and his girlfriend. After taking the drugs himself, he gives some to his girlfriend. She overdoes and dies. Because the defendant didn’t intend to kill his girlfriend…but arguably acted with a conscious disregard for human life by giving her dangerous illicit drugs…he could be liable for involuntary manslaughter.

    The difference between involuntary manslaughter and killing someone by excusable accident is that with involuntary manslaughter, you are necessarily involved in either
    1.an unlawful act (not amounting to a felony), or
    2.a lawful act which involves a high degree of risk of death or great bodily injury (where you fail to act with the proper caution)

    So while I get your feelings on the subject by the definition of the law in CA. he has been charged correctly.

  27. DiamondGirl says:

    Rox, I just know what I have experienced myself. You are not aware of anything going on and there are no thoughts traveling through your mind once you are knocked out. Maybe this is what he meant about sleep. I don’t know. Is one well rested after waking up, I don’t think so. I tend to sleep more after I am brought home. I guess we will never know what Jackson experienced but I certainly will not believe that so called doctor of his either. As with ANS, it is so easy to put words in one person’s mouth after they are dead.

  28. DiamondGirl says:

    Rox, oh I understand that they charged correctly. Or they charged murray with what they can prove is a better way to put it.

    Let me run a scenio by you. We do not know if this happened or not but could it can the charges against murray?

    We were told by murray ( :whistling: ) that murray had been giving Jackson 50mg a a night of propofol for 6-7 weeks prior to his death. Two days prior to Jacksons death, murray decided that Jackson was becoming addicted to propofol and he decided to TRY to get Jackson to sleep using other drugs and lowering the dose of propofol. Now the morning of the 25th, Jackson is having a very hard time getting to “sleep” (used for lack of better word) as per murray he gave Jackson several drugs at different times to induce sleep. It was not working. Jackson was getting madder and madder, yelling at the doctor to get him to SLEEP. Now murray being as busy as he was on the phone calls, decided he would get Jackson to sleep if that is what he wanted to so bad, and gave an extreme amount of propofol to Jackson in anger. Would it then be murder?

    But it couldn’t be proved either….

    Do I think it happened that way…no. I don’t believe that he was giving Jackson propofol for 6-7 weeks. Where did 4 gallons of the stuff go? I was shocked when I heard how much of the drug had been ordered. How the hell did murray plan on getting the propofol while in England? Was he stocking it up? I think we are going to find out a lot more during the trial.

  29. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE—–NUMBER 1,AND NUMBER 3 of elements of murder.Dr Murray DID COMMIT a act that resulted in a death of a person(Michael Jackson)You are dealing with a physcian not a lay person.,Murray cannot justify,any of his actions,A doctor NOT TRAINED to administer profocol,a doctor ,not using safeguards in the use of a dangerous med,and I do not believe because Michael wanted profocol is justification.Dr Murray KNEW what he was doing was wrong ,and to me there is malice,Malice because ,who cared what he had to do,it was money he was getting,so you give a (FRIEND) what he wants.

  30. Ken says:

    Beverly [29] but under the law, unless they can prove he did it with malice from the outset, it’s not murder. Doesn’t matter what you or I or anyone else thinks, the law is the law. It will be a lot easier to prove the lesser charge than the murder charge.

  31. DiamondGirl says:

    30. Yes that is the thing Ken. What the state believes it can prove, is what the charge is about. They have the witnesses that all say that murray acted out of the scope of a doctor’s right when dealing with propofol and the administering of it.

    Beverly, here is another little tid bit for you. murray is also a surgeon. So he was well aware of how propofol should be used and what equipment should be available when using the drug. However he is not trained nor certified to be using propofol.

    But I do believe that Michael requested the propofol since he was preparing for a concert. Now it has been stated that this same drug was used by an anesthelogist during a prior concert series, but has not been proved yet during any testimony. So we might learn about this.

  32. BEVERLY says:

    KEN—-Dr Murray knew from the beginning Michael wanted Profocol,I cannot see what is so hard to prove,When you wave $150,000,00 in front of a Doctor in need of a lot of cash,you see how fast he dropped his clinic pts,whom he loved so much,and was so concerned about.MALICE is very easy to prove,and a doctor who found the golden goose,so you please that golden goose,(malice)ill will,spite,criminal intent,The minute Dr Murray placed a IV in Michael’s arm.that was criminal intent,and ill will.Murray KNEW,what he was doing was wrong,but continued to do it anyway.Murray’s luck ran out on that june day,to me,if you are aware what you are doing,is not only dangerous,and you were not a trained anesthetist,did not have any equipment in case something went wrong,FROM THE BEGINNING,you murdered your pt.

  33. DiamondGirl says:

    I don’t believe he wanted Michael dead. It makes no sense and the DA would not be able to prove intent either. murray was to get 150,000 a month for about 9 months. Which translates to $1,350,000.00. Why would he settle for $150,000.00 instead? He requested his $300,000.00 after Jackson died, but as far as anyone knows has not received a penny of it.

    As far as his Texas patients, the man couldn’t be bothered for over a year with them. Now because his license might be yanked he cares? :yeah:

  34. Ken says:

    Beverly [32] They would have to prove that, before he did the act, he premeditated hurting and/or killing MJ in order to get the murder charge.

    “Malice aforethought is the “premeditation” or “predetermination” that was required as an element of some crimes in some jurisdictions,[1] and a unique element for first-degree or aggravated murder in a few.”
    “Malice is a legal term referring to a party’s intention to do injury to another party. Malice is either expressed or implied. Malice is expressed when there is manifested a deliberate intention unlawfully to take away the life of a human being. Malice is implied when no considerable provocation appears, or when the circumstances attending the killing show an abandoned and malignant heart. Cal. Pen. Code § 188.”

  35. BEVERLY says:

    KEN——–”when the circumstances attending the killing show a abandoned a maligant heart’”Dr Murray played God every night with Michael”s life,and after several nights of giving Michael profocol and nothing happened,Murray went a little further,by leaving the room,not for any emergency call,but to a girlfriend.He started to get even more careless,all he was asked to do for his money is care for michael at night,he could not even do that right,which shows me a abandoned and malignant heartI don”t think he gave Michael a thought,one way or the other,his mind was on his pants

    It’s iffy to me. I think if the intention was to kill him then yes that is murder. I think if he does it out of anger and without thinking of the consequenses then it’s manslaughter.

    29
    BUT he didn’t commit #2…. so there goes the murder charge.

    32
    Malice…..malice [?mæl?s]
    n
    1. the desire to do harm or mischief
    2. evil intent
    3. (Law) Law the state of mind with which an act is committed and from which the intent to do wrong may be inferred See also malice aforethought
    [via Old French from Latin malitia, from malus evil]

    As much as I don’t like his actions and think that he does need to be punished….. Murry didn’t act with Malice or Intent.

  37. BEVERLY says:

    ~o) Good Morning Everyone—–Well my question is,why can’t the DA list three charges and let the jury decide?they sure found enough charges on Kapoor.DrE and Howard. MY LOGIC As a physcian Dr Murray knew the danger of administering “profocol” in which he was not qualified or licensed to do.Dr Murray KNEW,this drug had no business being in a home setting,PLUS,with all this knowledge,he still went ahead without safeguards in place(malice and intent)Did Dr Murray care about his pt,or just in keeping Michael Jackson happy and the money comming in?It is to late to put the blame on the pt,when the IV was pt in place by the DOCTOR. :mornincoffee:

  38. DiamondGirl says:

    Because that is not the way our legal system works. It is a damn shame that even if found guilty, murray will do less prison time than what Stern faced if he had been convicted. The plus side, he will then lose his medical license in each state he practices in. Even with all of his supposed knowledge about PROPOFOL, he did not intend to kill Jackson. There are a lot of people counting on reasonable doubt regarding murray (at different sites) I can’t think of anything that would create reasonable doubt even if Jackson dosed himself during the two minutes murray claims he was out of the room(and I highly doubt that Jackson became so aware of his surroundings in those two minutes)

  39. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl——-The outstanding factor is “not qualified and not licensed”Dr Murray was a cardiologist,and not trained in anesthesia of which requires a special license. A seperate field altogether.To me the minute Dr Murray took upon himself to cross the ethical line,was step number one,to Michael’s demise.ordering “profocol” from the pharmacy was the second step.Administering the “Profocol ” to Michael was the third and final.Now,what was in the mind of Dr Murray?MONEY or PT?If it was the pt Michael,and the concern was for helping his pt sleep,a person trained in anesthesia should have been on hand.Dr Murray was being underhanded and way out of line as a physcian.i CANNOT BELIEVE HIS CONCERN WAS FOR MICHAEL,

  40. Roxanne says:

    His concern was for money BUT that doesn’t mean he committed murder. It doesn’t mean he acted with malice. It doesn’t mean he acted with intent TO KILL.

  41. DiamondGirl says:

    While I would have loved to see murray charged with murder, they could not prove it. It would be insane to think that murray killed Jackson which would and did cut off any payment since he took the job for the money to begin with. It cannot be proved that he acted with malice. It can be proved (IMO) that he did commit involuntary manslaughter.

    The man had the balls to try to collect $300,000.00 after he did kill Jackson.

  42. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE——Conrad Murray is a physcian,as such he knew the danger in what he was attemping to do,he had full knowledge one wrong move and Michael would be dead.Knowing this and doing NOTHING to protect his pt,is murder in my eyes,

  43. DiamondGirl says:

    I give up……

    CA cannot charge murray with murder no matter what anyone here feels. They have laws to follow and they cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that murray wanted Jackson dead. I would rather have the son of a b*tch spend 4 years in jail and lose his license than for him to walk away from the charges but that is just me.

  44. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl—-Roxanne—-Thank you very much for your debate,I cannot change my opinion.The minute Dr Murray gave his first IV of “profocol” to Michael.without the proper equipment and assistance,and with FULL KNOWLEDGE he did not have the license.knowledge was not qualified, he committed Murder not “Involuntary Manslaughter”Dr Conrad Murray had NO RIGHT to to administer Profocol especialy in a home setting,or any other setting.

  45. BEVERLY says:

    PS Maybe Dr Murray can look at the jury and say OOPS,I MADE A BOO POO

  46. DiamondGirl says:

    If propofol was a controlled drug, I wonder if things would be different. I agree he knew the dangers and then proceeded anyway.

    Nor is he a pharmacist. Did he know about mixing the drugs that supressed Michael’s respirtory system and what it could do?

    The man wasn’t an addiction specialist either. IF the last time Jackson used the propofol was during the last concert series, we are talking years ago. Would the 4 freaking gallons that this man injected into Jackson make him the addict he claimed Jackson was?

    The man disrearded everything that he knew, it didn’t matter. Now Jackson is dead and the defense will paint Jackson as an addict begging for a drug from this so called doctor so that he could get some sleep according to his defination of sleep.

    I can’t consider Jackson as a propofol addict when he first requested that this be used. I very well could be wrong but to me an addict is using the drug all the time. Was he a recovering addict, more than likely to pain meds. Even Jackson admitted it. But even if he was addicted to propofol, murray gave Jackson 4 gallons of propofol in 6-7 weeks time. He was the pusher. Then decided that Jackson was becoming addicted to the stuff wtf did he think would happen? The foolish man.

    But it boils down to the law and what can be proved during the trial. There are many who tend to think that Jackson was guilty of the crimes he was accused of and in some way deserves to die for those crimes. The hate for Jackson is very evident in the US but he also has many fans world wide who believed in him. Either way, the man didn’t deserve to die under those circumstances. He made his choice and he has paid for his choice with his life. Those that are left behind are hurting still for the loss of their father, brother, nephew and son. It is time that the other person responsible for Jackson’s death also pay the price that the law allows.

    Haha…. who me? Sarcastic? No way!!!

  51. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE–I decided to give you a bigger headache,Let say I pretend I am a doctor,I go to a home to tend to a pt and the pt dies.now I did not mean to have this pt die,but he did, did I commt”involuntary manslaughter,or murder?That is what Dr Murray did.Dr Conrad Murray knew he was not qualified to give anesthesia,as propofol is NOT sleeping med.and requires a separate license.Did Dr Murray care what happened to Michael,or was he thinking to please Michael and GET PAID,A PRUDENT DOCTOR WOULD HAVE TURNED DOWN THE OFFER KNOWING HE WAS NOT QUALIFIED.,then he would not have to try and hide the bottles of propofol,and would have told the truth to the EMT.Murray had full knowledge,what he was doing was wrong,yet his thoughts were on getting a lot of money,Not thinking of the danger he put Michael in because he had lack of knowledge for what he was doing,and to top it off ,no equipment in case of a problem

  52. DiamondGirl says:

    Beverly, I agree with most of what you say but propofol is NOT a controlled drug. Apparently in some states there are no requirements as to who administers it. And to make matters worse, murray is supposely a certified surgeon in Texas (I believe). He should have known all the dangers and the requiremnets of the medical equipment that was to be on hand, if the AEG unsigned contract is right(to be supplied in England), then he did know. And for some unknown reason he ($$$$) administered the drugs without it in CA.

    Pretending to be a doctor is one thing, being a doctor is another. That is not comparing apples to apples. He did not have to be certified to use or order propofol in the state of CA.

    How I wish that the state could prove murder, but they can’t. He did not intend for Michael to die. murray has no morals or ethics, imo.

  53. Roxanne says:

    Nah…. I think I’m gonna give you one this time….. :)

    If you PRETENDED to be a doctor then THAT is different…. Murray didn’t PRETEND to be a doctor. He is a doctor. It would also depend on the reason the patient died. Your doing house calls so is the patient homebound with a terminal illness? Did patient die from this illness? Did patient die after you gave them some form of controlled medication? Did this patient die after you gave that medication but had the patient unknowingly to you, taken other medications before you got there and either they or someone around them not tell you about it? There’s to much left open by your general question. I can’t honestly answer it the way it is right now.

    If Profanol can only be administered by an anestesiologist then WHY was Murray able to order it? Why was he not made to show this “special license” to the pharmacist? Why did the pharmacist not notice or question the amounts Murray was ordering? Why hasn’t the pharmacist been charged with unlawful distribution of a controlled substance?

    No doctor that had the time would turn down 150K a month to watch over someone like MJ. They may very well have quit after refusing to give MJ what he was asking for. They may have been fired for refusing but initially I don’t think anyone in their right mind would turn down the opportunity to make that kind of money in such a short amount of time.

    I believe he gave MJ what he asked for. Yes he should be charged because he was careless and he wasn’t following procedure. You do know that MJ DEMANDED that his youngest son be anestitized during a simple dental procedure a few years ago. The dentist that did the procedure refused to do it at first but said that under enormous pressure from MJ he finally relented and did the procedure with the kid knocked out. The dentist was eventually reprimanded for allowing him to be “put under” in his office even with the proper equipment and a Dr. there to admininster it. Seems to me MJ was pretty big on using anesthesia.

    Houston Meets Hollywood: Ed Chernoff Prepares for High-Stakes Defense of Dr. Conrad Murray

    Miriam Rozen, Texas Lawyer, January 31, 2011

    [13th or 14th paragraph down...]

    “Chernoff says in December 2009 he interviewed about a dozen lawyers but decided on J. Michael Flanagan, a partner in Glendale, Calif.’s Flanagan, Unger & Grover. Chernoff says he chose Flanagan because Flanagan successfully defended two California nurses charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly administering Propofol to a patient who died.”

  57. DiamondGirl says:

    Roxanne… that simple procedure that Michael wanted propofol for Blanket was a 2 hour procedure performed by a dentist. The propofol had been administered by a trained anesthesiologist in that dentist’s office. The dentist did not have a permit and was fined AFTER Jackson died. I think if my young son was expected to sit for 2 hours in a dentist’s chair, I would ask for the same thing. I can’t find anywhere exactly what the procedure was. This happened in 2008. Blanket was born in 2002 which would have made him 6 years old at the time of the procedure.

    http://www.tmz.com/2011/01/13/michael-jackson-blanket-anesthesia-propofol-doctor-mark-taddrissi-nevada-board-of-dental-examiners-discipline/

  58. DiamondGirl says:

    Bev, you are being told why. The DA cannot prove malice or intent to kill without a reasonable doubt. Look at what is happening now….not at this site but at others…. posters are acting in a way that Michael deserved to die because they absolutely KNOW that Michael molested children. One poster thinks just about all drug addicts deserve to die.

    I have read where someone believes that Jackson swallowed enough of the propofol to have created the overdose although there was a trace amount found in the stomach. This is just nuts.

  59. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl—-To me,I do not know what is the law in Cal,but as I said to me.if you take on the duty as Michael Jackson Doctor,you take on the responsibility of a human being,a special human being,as he was talented and a icon.I do not know where in the court of law,Murray fits,but for me ”Involuntary Manslaughter DOES NOT fit.As you claim,Dr Murray had “no intent” to harm Michael and you need malice.I am stuck and cannot get past Dr Murray’s mind and intent,which I feel was NOT on Michael.What was Dr Murray’s intent?It was to give Michael what he wanted’profocol”I do not know what the law considers malice,but Murray actions are one of Russian roulette This is where I am stuck.I cannot call Dr Murray actions,one of concern,otherwise the right assistant and equipment would have been in the home,If done once “Involuntary” I cannot put my mind in Murray mind,Dr Murray graduated magna cum laude,so this man is one smart doctor,To me,Murray was playing God with Michael’s life,sliding by ever night until the fatal night.to me it is involuntary if it was a accident,but this doctor night after night took a change with Michael’s life

  60. BEVERLY says:

    I will now wait for the trial to begin

  61. Roxanne says:

    57
    DG
    The doctor said it was a simple procedure he performed all the time without it. There is a difference from a dentist having a kid knocked out in his office and an a oral surgeon doing the same thing. Laughing gas works fine in most situations……. NOT being completely knocked out. If the kid needed to be put to sleep then it should have been the oral surgeon doing the procedure. There is nothing a dentist does that should require complete knock out. There are all kinds of sedatives he could have been given that are much safer than the Profanol. He could also have been given the nitrous oxide or “laughing gas.” BOTH much safer than the profanol. So, in this case, I don’t agree that given the child the profanol was a right move.

  62. Ken says:

    Beverly [59] Under the law, in any state, the jury can only consider what is legally able to be proven, not what each individual juror thinks should be charged. If that was so, we’d have people put to death or jailed for life in this country for trivial infractions. They have to prove his intent was to kill or cause major harm to MJ, in order for a murder charge to be placed on him. Greed and/or stupidity does not qualify for that.

  63. BEVERLY says:

    KEN—–your right about greed and stupidity,Dr Murray is not stupid ,but he is greedy,that is not where I am stuck at,It is Dr Murray repeated act of administering the propofol night after night,reguardless of NO SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE.That can be proven.I do not know what Dr Murray thoughts were,but sure as hell,not to concerned about helping Michael in case of a emergency.THAT IS A DELIBERATE ACT OF OMISSION EVERY NIGHT.

  64. DiamondGirl says:

    I do not know what the dentist did or if he is more that an normal dentist. But at the age of 6 years old to sit for two hours while any drilling or anything going on like that, I would tend to agree with Jackson. I can’t think of any 6 year old staying still for that length of time and again it was the anesthesiologist that supposely gave Blanket the drug. I believe that propofol is a safe drug when used by trained personal.

  65. DiamondGirl says:

    murray thoughts were on parts of his south of his belt.

  66. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE—When I was in Maryland doing my training,the woman doctor I was friends with was doing her internship to become a anesthetist.many many long hours and a lot of hard work.she was already a psychiatrist.I cannot account for Cal and what they are doing,Dr Murray it appears WAS NOT qualified.to use propofol,or trained in it’s use,therefore plain and simple,he took it upon himself,for money,to do something illegal and he knew it,otherwise why hide bottles of the med,and why ,when it was so important did he not mention what he gave Michael to the EMT’S.I cannot wait for this trial to begin

  67. BEVERLY says:

    Good Morning—-I am beginning to figure out CAL has a lot of incompetent people working in the DA,DEA, Office.All that time and money on Howard K stern case,only to be told by a judge,repeatedly he did not like the case as presented to him,and ruled as such,Now Michael Jackson case,MY OPINION another half-azz job.The DEA completely ignored,those Dr’s that fed Michael drugs,thus enabled.Dr Arnold Klein has been mentioned quite a bit,can Dr Klein prove every bit of medication given to Michael was needed?This does not excuse at all Dr Murray actions,Michael just had a sucky group of misfits,who interest clearly is money,not a special child like man who trusted the wrong people.Sleazebag Dr Murray,is looking to blame everyone and anyone,but there is only one Dr that set up that IV every night,There is only one Dr that was there the night Michael died,WHY was Dr Murray there? to help his “friend” if you want to believe that go ahead,I believe to help himsef to easy money.

  68. DiamondGirl says:

    Who is believing that murray was there to help his friend?

    It was not ILLEGAL for murray to use propofol. There is a difference between unethical and illlegal. What became criminal is the fact that murray administered the drugs in a home setting, without proper equipment being available and his patient died while doing this.

    We don’t know if those other doctors were ignored or if the DEA is waiting for the homcide trial to be over. But I tend to think these other doctors have records and can prove that the drugs issued were for pain control prior to 2006 and were intended for Jackson’s use or used during a procedure. Let’s not forget that the DA has lost a case that they had no reason to bring against Kapoor, Stern or Dr E. Let’s also remember that I believe it was the CONTROLLED susbstance of CH that had contributed to Stern and Dr E being found guilty in two charges. I really wish that the DEA could release what they found on Klein and other doctors that issued meds to Jackson, it would be interesting to see maybe the truth. But let me also say that I wouldn;’t believe a freaking thing klein had to say. He showed his colors after Jackson died by even implying that those children might be his bio children, the sleezebag.

  69. Roxanne says:

    64
    That is what laughing gas, ie nitrous oxide, was invented for. It sedates the person to the point that they don’t care what is going on around them. It has been used on my son for dental procedures when he was young and I sat in the room with him in the corner out of the way. That was at a regular dentist. Later when we lived in a different state and they actually had a dentist that specialized in children and saw only children, he was given the nitrous again but this time I wasn’t even allowed in the back room with him because it was all open with many chairs and many children and having a parent back there might upset the other children who’s parent’s weren’t allowed back there. It made sense so I didn’t argue with him about it. The point I’m trying to make is that there are other much SAFER and viable options that could have been used. The ONLY time I have EVER been put “to sleep” during a dental procedure was at an oral surgeons office when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I have never known of anyone personally who was knocked out with profanol for a dental procedure especially a child. Like I said there is just to many other things that can be used for light sedation that are just as effective and much more safe than Profanol. I was given something called “Twilight Sleep” at one time. It was when I had miscarried and had to have a DNC. I have no memory of that procedure THANK GOD….and it was safe, it didn’t require intubation, and effective. It is the same thing that was given to my son when I took him to the “kid” dentist. The other dentist used the “laughing gas” on him. All are much safer than Profanol and none require intubation, which MJ should have had with the Profanol. I just think MJ like the drug and was big on being knocked out with it. Given a choice in the matter and knowing there are other ways and other things that are safer and just as effective then I would never choose Profanol for my child. That’s all I’m saying. We just have a difference of opinion on the subject.

  70. Roxanne says:

    I don’t know what happened to part of that post. I guess I edited more than I thought……

    He had 2 procedures at the “kid” dentist. One was with nitrous the other was with “twilight sleep” when the procedure took longer.

  71. Roxanne says:

    Damn it…..
    64
    Yes it is a safe drug when used properly BUT when it’s not a “cut your open and pull your guts out” surgery….. then I would choose other options. :)

  72. Roxanne says:

    66
    Bev
    It wasn’t illegal in the State of Ca. for Murray to use the profanol. Was it dangerous because he didn’t have proper monitoring or rescue equipment? YES! Does he deserve to be prosecuted and have his liciense revolked? YES! Did he intent to harm MJ? NO! Did he act with malice (ANGER)? NO! Did he know that MJ had gone into cardiac arrest because of a overdose of Profanol or because it had reacted with the other medications? YES! Does the fact that he hid the bottles and didn’t tell the EMT’s about the Profanol and refused to allow CPR efforts to cease and MJ be pronounced dead show malice or intent? NO! It show’s that he was scared to death because he knew he had been careless and was responsible. BUT it wasn’t his INTENTION when he administered the drugs to kill or harm MJ. THAT is the deal breaker for murder. There was simply NO MALICE AND NO INTENT.

  73. Roxanne says:

    68
    I think it was a script for a narcotic pain medication in the name of that woman that was a real person.

  74. DiamondGirl says:

    I am not sure but it was a controlled drug that they were found guilty of.

    71. We will agree to disagree on this one. Propofol is used during the dreaded Colonoscopy by some doctors. Mine used it and I did not have to be intubated at all. I was monitored and had oxygen on. But the entire deal took 30 minutes, recovery made it a total of one hour.

    Dr. Murray Keeps Nevada Medical License

    2/15/2011 by TMZ Staff

    “Conrad Murray just cashed in on some Vegas luck — because TMZ has learned he can keep practicing medicine in Nevada.

    Sources at the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners tell us … “Nevada law does not currently allow us to swipe his license
    just because a judge ruled on it.”

    As we previously reported — Murray’s California medical license was recently suspended as a condition of bail in his manslaughter case.

    The Texas Medical Board has yet to decide what to do with the Doc’s license.”

  76. DiamondGirl says:

    Thanks Beth…..

  77. Roxanne says:

    75
    Yea but your an adult… my whole thing is it shouldn’t be used on children for something like a dental procedure when there are other just a viable and effective options. Profanol is approved for the use in children age 3 and up when it’s used on a surgical procedure…. ie “cut your guts out kind of thing”.

  78. DiamondGirl says:

    Well some funny things happening with the lawyers for murray.

    http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/02/14/conrad.murray.lawyer/#

    Los Angeles (CNN) — Dr. Conrad Murray, whose involuntary manslaughter trial starts next month, has hired a new lawyer for his legal team.

    Los Angeles lawyer Nareg Gourjian will assist lawyers Ed Chernoff and J. Michael Flanagan in defending Murray, who is charged in pop star Michael Jackson’s death.

    A document filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday said Gourjian is replacing Joseph Low, who is leaving the Murray defense team.

    What this article does NOT say is that this same lawyer was in the Geragos firm when he represented MJ during the criminal trial and was actually one of the lawyers who defended MJ!!

    http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/02/exclusive-dr-conrad-murrays-new-attorney-could-present-conflict-interest

    Mark is concerned about the conflict of interest because Nareg worked on Michael’s molestation defense,” the source told RadarOnline.com.

    “Nareg was privy to details about Michael Jackson’s life that were never made public.

    “This is very, very bothersome to Geragos.

    “Mark is considering filing paperwork with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael E. Pastor stating he believes there is an obvious conflict of interest.

    And it seems that these defense lawyers had already approached Geragos himself but he turned down the offer.
    http://www.duiattorney.com/news/5295-michael-jacksons-doctor-conrad-murrary-approached-mark-geragos
    According to a story on Eonline, Michael Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray approached the well known celebrity criminal defense lawyer. According to the report, Geragos turned down the request to represent the doctor, presumably because of a real or potential conflict of interest.

    Mr. Geragos represented Mr. Jackson during his 2004 child molestation trial. Despite the novel issues that could come along with representing Murray, there is, according to Geragos, a definite potential that a defense would involve smearing Michael Jackson, or disclosing information that may be sensitive or confidential.

    Wow, not only is murray unethical but so his lawyers may be also!

    Dr. Murray Dodged Wrongful Death Lawsuit in 2007

    http://www.tmz.com/

    24 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

    Michael Jackson wasn’t the first patient to die while in Dr. Murray’s care — in fact, TMZ has learned MJ investigators spoke with the son of a former Murray patient who BLAMES the doc for killing his dad in a botched surgery.

    0104_Conrad_Murray_getty_ex_2
    Months after MJ’s death, LAPD detectives spoke with Gerard White — whose father died 6 days after Dr. Murray operated on his heart in Las Vegas back in 2007.

    White told investigators Murray not only botched the surgery and ripped a hole in his dad’s heart — but he failed to recognize obvious, tell-tale signs that his patient was fatally wounded.

    Gerard told investigators he and his family contacted a lawyer to go after Dr. Murray — but they couldn’t find an attorney who would take the case because there wasn’t enough money to be made.

    Gerard also said that after his father died, Murray did “exactly what he’s doing in the Jackson case” … because he never attempted to speak with his family members about the situation.

    Murray’s rep tell TMZ Gerard’s story is “hearsay and totally unsubstantiated.”

    The rep adds, “Murray has medical insurance for lawsuits. If an attorney thought Gerard White had a case he surely could have been paid. The fact that White couldn’t find a lawyer to take the case tells me White’s claims most likely had no merit.”

    I tend to agree with that last paragraph. If there is a case and a lawyer can make money from it then they will sue and they will take it on contingency. Dr.s have insurance to cover them in lawsuits.

  81. DiamondGirl says:

    Well they way that TEXAS lawyer is acting of late…… I believe we do not have the entire story. But whatever. I tend to think since the heart was punctured 6 days prior to death and apparently there is a list of 4 contributing factors, it would have been hard to prove. But his son and wife didn’t appreciate what murray did for their family member. Many doctors have deaths in the background history, this really doesn’t make a hill of beans to the Jackson death. Just shows that not all of his patoient “loved” him.

    “February 16, 2011 10:04 AM EST
    LONDON (AP) — It’s a rags-to-riches story complete with sex, drugs, vast wealth and family tragedy.

    The latest production from Britain’s Royal Opera is based on the short but sensational life of Playboy playmate turned tabloid superstar Anna Nicole Smith, who died aged 39 in 2007.

    The company bills the opera as “a celebrity story of our times.” But it has raised a few eyebrows with its warning that the show contains sex, drugs and “extreme language.”

    “Anna Nicole” has music by composer Mark-Anthony Turnage and libretto by Richard Thomas, who co-created “Jerry Springer: The Opera.”

    Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek plays Smith.

    Only six performances are planned between Thursday and March 4 — and all are sold out.”

    “In this undated photo released by Britain’s Royal Opera House Wednesday Feb. 16 2001, Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek is seen as Anna Nicole in the title role of the Royal Opera House’s production of the same name. Britain’s venerable Royal Opera raised some eyebrows when it announced that its next production would be based on the short but sensational life of Playboy model turned tabloid superstar Anna Nicole Smith. “Anna Nicole” comes with an impeccably high-art cast and crew _ and a warning of “extreme language, drug abuse and sexual content.”

    TMZ—-MJ—On the hunt for the perfect Anesthesiologist—–Jackson who had a well documented “Propofol” addiction for years before his death,tried recuiting Dr David Adams.a Las Vegas anesthesiologist.to go on the “This is it ” tour. We learned Dr Adams told LAPD investigators that several months before MJ tour Dr Conrad Murray and MJ met with Dr Adams and said “We think it would be great to have Anesthesiologist go on the ‘This is it tour.Dr Adams thought about it and texted Murray “I liked to be on board,let’s talk about it,but MJ and Dr Murray never contacted him again.Now I would love to know what happen.Did Dr Murray decide,he wanted all the money for helping Michael,therefore putting Michael in danger.Dr Murray KNEW a anesthesiologist was needed,as he was not qualified.Weather Propofol can be obtained legally by Dr Murray,the question is ,”was Dr Murray qualified to administer the Propofol,Was this a GREEDY Dr putting Michael’s life second,and money first .then to me there sure as hell MALICE.

  87. Roxanne says:

    circles……….

  88. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE——-Circles but eventually the truth

  89. DiamondGirl says:

    This was info that was released by the defense. This is the same doctor that murray claimed he watched him give Jackson the propofol. Adam’s lawyer stated many months ago that murray NEVER saw Adams give Jackson propofol, but did have a meeting with him. This info is suppose to be in murray affidavit. So no matter how many times you make that circle, no truth in murays actions.

    Well to me there was murder but the DA cannot prove it. He did NOT have to be qualified or licensed to use propofol in CA.

    Someone is Not Happy

    ‘Anna Nicole’ Opera — The Fat Lady May Sue

    2/17/2011 11:20 AM PST by TMZ Staff

    Larry Birkhead says Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate is threatening legal action over the opera titled “Anna Nicole” … TMZ has learned.

    Anna Nicole Opera Musical

    The opera — playing now at the Royal Opera House in London — is about Anna’s life, and features a very large woman with big boobs loosely resembling Anna.

    Larry tells TMZ the producers never contacted Anna’s estate or him. They also didn’t offer Larry an advance screening. Larry says the opera is like “a sleazy tabloid.”

    Birkhead says the estate is now weighing its legal option.

    And, Larry adds, “If [the producers] are not careful, they’ll get more than diet pills in the mail.”

  92. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl—-You say that you do not have to be qualified or licensed in CAL to use propofol,yet Dr Murray tried to hide the propofol bottles,did not inform the EMT’S of it’s use,and is going around playing ‘kiss everyone’s butt it does not compute.and right away lawyered up.Dr Murray actions are one of a man who has a lot to hide

  93. BEVERLY says:

    As I watched Larry Birkhead on TMZ,I listened very closely to the questions and answer”s,and Larry said SOME in Anna’s family have seen Dannielynn and others have not.I thought he made it very clear,Virgie has not,or he would have stated so.I do hope,he does not bring a law suit,let this piece of trash die,a peaceful death, it would just give more attention,to the players and the fool that wroke the so called opera.I will say,I will always admire Larry,for always taking the high road,thinking things through. :mornincoffee:

  94. DiamondGirl says:

    Beverly… yes he has a lot to hide. IMO, he did kill Jackson and he knew it when all of those things happened after he just found Jackson dead. He lied about the propofol when he ordered it from the pharmacy. At first murray had it shipped to his Vegas office. When it arrived, the propofol order was returned to the pharmacy office and then shipped out to CA to what murray claimed was his new office and he informed the pharmacy people that the propofol woukd be under his control.

  95. DiamondGirl says:

    On another note, the murray thread has been closed again over at in Sessions. The same people who always jammed it up over ANS are doing the same with the Jackson death.

  96. kaarin 22 says:

    Beverly and Diamondgirl, very interesting dialogue.As for Dr David Adams ,is he not a dentist?.Treated MJ in Las Vegas sometime in the past. Has a laswyer to to state that he never met with Murray to demonstrate Propofol use.-I would so much like murray to be found guilty of murder second degree.There is the
    letter of law and the spirit of law, drugs controlled by the DEA and deadly drugs not controlled at all, malice of heart, coldness and indifference ,greed above all else. What will matter is the letter of law (at least THAT, one hopes).-Great that attn. Mark Gegaros is objecting to Nareg Gourjian being on the defence team for murray.Not to take this complaint seriously would be against the letter of law, I would think.- Saw that clip of murrays “thankful patients”.
    Do they always come to his office by the dozens? Does he not give appt. times? Sure they all had Medicare.
    Saw a program on anhtropology recently.Among other things on that program, it stated that statistically men who have killed or murdered had more women and children than men who have not killed.Well, every case should be investigated on it´s own terms and not ” profiling”, it was just a surprising finding.
    -In the prelim.s the defence kept obsessing about the propofol in MJ`s stomach.It was 0.13 mg in 70 grams of liquid.The amount of 0.13 mg is miniscule,that
    should be demonstated to the jury to avoid wasting time on this issue. :foottap: :foottap:

  97. DiamondGirl says:

    96. No, Doctor Adams is not a dentist.

    Dr. David Adams practices anesthesiology in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dr. Adams graduated with a DO 12 years ago.

    http://www.healthgrades.com/directory_search/physician/profiles/dr-md-reports/Dr-David-Adams-DO-845F16F7.cfm
    That photo op was filmed at the clinic. Notice when they speak to one of murray’s lawyers, he is sitting at what appears to be a medical desk.. maybe nurses?

  98. kaarin22 says:

    Thank you for the info DiamondGirl.Vaguelyu remembered something about a dentist from an old post on another blog.

  99. Kaarin22 says:

    The fact that murray refuised to pronounce Michael dead at the residence when the EMT-paramedics arrived and asked him to, may have served murray
    in several ways.I know a bit about the interface between law and medicine ,but I do not reside in the US so:I did read somewhere that had Michael been pronounced dead (as he was) at the residence it would have resulted in immediate cordoning off of the site.As accidental v. natural death. Is this so?
    murray had high hopes of returning to the residence as sopon as death had been pronounced sometime mid-afternoon 6/25 2009.He asked for a lift there, but
    was denied.

  100. DiamondGirl says:

    You know Kaarin, I had wondered how murray would have benefitted from not declaring MJ dead. That thought never came to me at all. I believe even if an autopsy was not done by the county coroner, Katherine and others would have had their own autopsy done. I had looked it up one time and what I had found was that if Murray had pronounced Jackson dead since he was the personal doctor, then the county would not have done an autopsy. Either way this propofol and the drug mixture would have been found out.

  101. BEVERLY says:

    Kaarin 22——If everything was done above board,WHY would it bother Dr Murray one way or the other.Dr Murray actions,show me a man,doing a NO/NO and trying to wiggle out of his responsibility.The pronouncing of Michael,at the home,means Michael died,and Dr Murray,should have been with him,(MAYBE HE WAS),like his girlfriend said,he called out of the blue,and then she heard mumbling and then he hung up,thus making sure it was noted he was on the phone,and Michael took it upon himself to drink the propofol,Guilt does strange things to a person,and Dr Murray being a cardiologist knew better than to do CPR on the bed,but he was so upset,he was not thinking,only about covering up what he was doing,he knew Michael was dead,an at that point ,he could do nothing,for he had nothing to revive Michael.In other words Dr Murray’s luck ran out,and so did Michael Jackson’s.Night after night that could have happened

  102. Roxanne says:

    Serioulsy???? You think that the profanol wouldn’t have been found out at autopsy???? Seems far reaching to me.

    He hid the stuff because he knew he screwed up. He knew he was in trouble. He wasn’t thinking clearly at that point as evidenced by trying to “hide” it all. The thought of showing on autopsy seems to have NEVER crossed his mind at that point. (Hide the shit and they will never know???) I don’t think so.

  103. DiamondGirl says:

    It was widely reported that propofol leaves the body fast. Maybe that was his hope? However since MJ dies, no circulation, propofol did not leave the body. Yes murray knew that when he “happened to find” a dead Jackson, he was in serious trouble.

  104. Beth says:

    > Someone sure has her nose twisted out of place!
    I have a feeling when MJ’s three kids came to live at Kathrines either her children or her had to take the back seat and she did not like that, or maybe she was miffed she wasn’t asked to be on the Oprah special at Kathrines that just had Joe, Kathrine and the kids on? I believe she is going to regret her money making moves, there is no turning back now. It is a shame as it will be her kids that suffer. What a mom! Just sickening to me…

    =======================================
    Jermaine’s Ex Shopping Jackson Reality Show
    2/18/2011 2:54 PM PST by TMZ Staff

    “Alejandra Jackson — baby mama to Jermaine and Randy — still refuses to move out of the Jackson family compound … but she is ready to spill family’s secrets on a new reality show … for the right price.

    Sources close to Alejandra tell us she’s in talks with several producing partners to star in a reality show along with her children. As we previously reported, she’s also working on a tell-all book — and we’re told she’s currently looking for a writer.

    TMZ broke the story … last month the Michael Jackson estate asked a judge to remove Alejandra and her kids — Jaafar, Jermajesty, Genevieve, Donte and Randy Jr. — from the home.

    That came after Alejandra turned down Katherine’s request to leave the house so it could be renovated. Katherine offered Alejandra a condo if she signed a confidentiality agreement — but Alejandra refused. Confidentiality agreements and tell-all books don’t go well together.

    We’re told Alejandra feels she needs to make money — from the reality show and the book — because the fathers of her children are behind on support payments. For instance, Jermaine owes Alejandra almost $100,000 in back child support.

    A hearing on whether Alejandra has to leave the house is set for March 15.”

  105. BEVERLY says:

    BETH———It appears to me all the sourgrapes and misfits turn to writing a book(tell all ) they have a hair across there butt,so let’s tell all,the one problem with that is most of there telling is a LIE,or made up to make themself’s look good,If Alejandra,makes it to a reality show,she will receive the biggest backlash ,ever known,I wonder if jermaine is still in Africa,I do not know how child support works,but providing a home for her children should count for something.I am sure SHE DID NOT PAY RENT.

  106. DiamondGirl says:

    Oh boy do I have an opinion of this person. She bedded not only one of the Jackson brothers but two, moved in with Katherine with her herd and now refuses to undersand that the estate will not pay for her ass or herd to live in that house. Katherine has to get them out. One of her children was a part of that phaser fiasco last year. Her and the herd flew over to Japan, the locks should have been changed and the doors boarded up. For the life of me I can’t understand how Jermaine owes so much in back support to her when she didn’t even support those kids. I understand Jermaines wife has $$$$ but refuses to help out with his child support.

    I believe if she tries to use Michael’s name in anything she writes, the estate will be on her like white on rice.

  107. Ken says:

    new article up.

  108. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl–As I was reading your #100 comment,I will say,that even if Dr Murray pronounced Michael dead,and was his personal physcian,there still would have to be a autopsy.because he died under mysterious circumstances.preparing for a concert and then dying.

  109. BEVERLY says:

    PS What would be Dr Murray (cause of Death)maybe old age,or Michael just got tired,You need to write a cause of death,so he did not want to pronounce.

  110. DiamondGirl says:

    murray was the attending-personal doctor of Michael. He could have said anything at all BUT the family would wanted to know for certain considering if what all have said (Michael believed he was going to be killed) is the truth. I am just saying that as per CA rules, there might not have been an autopsy ordered. Right now we do not know how the autopsy got ordered, maybe when the family was asked they said yes…. Maybe they would have done one because it was Michael Jackson, I don’t know. It would have been found out about the propofol one way or another. The first reports out what that Michael had a heart attack.

    The offical time of death is like 2:26pm instead of 12:10 PM, when Michael was supposely found unresponsive. :roll: The emt’s that responded to the call believe that Michael had been dead for more than an hour already since he was cool to the touch. All reports stated that the room where Jackson was found in, was very hot since Michael had been complaining that he was cold.

  111. Roxanne says:

    Unexplained, suspicious deaths, death of a seemingly healthy person would ALL have autopsy.

  112. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl—-Lord knows Cal is something else.but no matter what state,there has to be a “cause of death” on the death certificate.This goes for anyone.On TMZ this morning they wrote Michael Jackson kids,said Dr Murray was a good Dr and there father would never die of a heart attack,well he didn’t,he died of propofol ordered and given by Dr Murray.A autopsy is a given if a person dies at home,unless that person is 100 years old attending physcian or not,or a person with a problem like Cancer,and then they still do a autopsy to find out the actual cause of death .In fact,I am even more sick to my stomach after reading this morning article on TMZ,and I see more and more Dr Murray was using Michael,for money,What kind of Dr befriends a person,and yet cares so little he treats Michael,with so little respect,as to not insure every safe precaution is in place.I would not want that man near anyone I know

  113. DiamondGirl says:

    Listen, I went by what was in the CA code. This cardologist could have simply put down he was treating Jackson for cardiac problems.
    See link:
    https://www.blueshieldca.com/hw/articles/hw_article.jsp?articleId=HWHW2451&fromTopics=all_topics&_requestid=140836

    IT DOES NOT MATTER, JACKSON WOULD HAVE HAD AN AUTOPSY ANYWAY!

    No Beverly, not everyone who dies at homes gets an autopsy. When my girlfriend died at home, she did not have an autopsy done. No she did not have cancer or any other disease going on. She was a diabetic but that DID NOT KILL her.

    My son’s ex-girlfriend dies at home, no autopsy performed there either.

    My step father dies at home due to cancer. No autopsy there either.

    Roxanne while I think Jackson looked healthy in his “This Is It” movie although skinny…. others have said he looked ill. I do think that if murray had called TOD and stated he had been treating Jackson for heart trouble and he believed Jackson had a cardiac arrest, then the family would have insisted on a autopsy being done by an outside coroner.

    It appears that since some of the DA’s stuff was turned over, a lot of things are being released. My guess would be by the defense. There will be a lot more put out unless the judge issues a gag order and soon.

  114. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl—-You made a statement of a young girl that died at home,and left me up in the air,What was the reason she died,even a suicide they would have to find the cause of death.My father died of Cancer,and they wanted to see how many organs were affected,so they did a autopsy

  115. BEVERLY says:

    PS If Dr Murray was there for Michael,and a heart problem,and he put that down as “cause of death” his butt would be fried.Again no equipment for any cardio attack,and using propofol would put his butt in jail.I saw no meds for a heart condition,

  116. DiamondGirl says:

    me neither Bev about the cardio meds.

    We do not know why she died, so I can’t answer you. My son was no longer close to her or her family.

    Either way his butt would have been fried.

  117. DiamondGirl says:

    As far as the children saying they heard their father claim that murray was a great doctor, I can see Michael saying that since murray was known to treat Michael’s children.

  118. kaarin22 says:

    Murray refused to pronounce death at the resicence because then the residence would have been cordoned off and investigated. Murray woud not have avoided autopsy or toxicology this way.-A supposedlly healthy 50 yo man drops dead just before noon on 6/25 2009! Could be accident, sucide or homicide,natural death.A suspicious death.His refusal to do so gave him other advantages as well.The offical time of death is hrs later than the real death and the place of death
    is the hospital and not the residence. Only murray coud feel the weaK pulse, now also that has been changerd to “thready pulse”Murray had high hopes of returning to the residence once death had been pronounced at hospital, even asked for a lift!-He may ofcourse have had false hopes that the propofol somehow would disappear with a bit of time.He hoped for more time to tidy up is my opinion.
    A paramedic or fireman could shed some light on this kind of proceedures.

  119. kaarin22 says:

    See Roxannes post 111.Unexplained death, suspiocious death,death of a seemingly healhty person would all have an autopsy.

  120. DiamondGirl says:

    See link in 113. The attending physician=murray, could have called TOD and listed any reason he felt like it. That would have not stopped a autopsy from being performed by someone. Not all unexplained deaths are autopsied, sorry had some friends who died who were not autopsied. Some young, some older died and did not have an autopsy done. But again, there would have been an autopsy done on Michael one way or another, so arguing this point is fruitless. I know what I have personally experienced.

    But I do agree with why murray didn’t call a time of death. It all benefitted him in a small way.

  121. Roxanne says:

    The only person I know of that has died young and no autopsy was performed was my son’s fathers sister. She was 32 years old and HE “found” her dead with her head over the toilet. She appeared to have committed suicide. The problem with that is that she and her husband were having problems and she had told her mother that she was going to ask him for a divorce. He was abusive. She “killed” herself with HIS gun when he took their child over to his mothers house…… Oh yea, he was a Sergant with the local POLICE. “She” used HIS service revolver even though she had her own gun in her purse where the police found it still sitting. He demanded no autopsy claiming that it was against her wishes and he refused to allow her to be embalmed. (Without being embalmed there was no hope of EVER being able to exhume her body for an autopsy or any type of investigation. Shortly after her death he took their child and refused to allow her contact with her mothers side of the family. She is now an adult and when she contacted her grandmother…… you wouldn’t believe the lies he had told her, like her mothers family wanted nothing to do with her, etc…… It was a mess and as you can probably guess we all think HE killed her and set it up to look like suicide……. Note typed on typewriter, etc…..

  122. BEVERLY says:

    Well,there are several things that are sticking out at me,and I have to question,As Michael chose Dr Murray as his physcian to help him through his tour,Dr Murray ,who specializes in cardiology,I have to wonder,the rehearsal’s are long and strenuous and I do not believe for one minute michael was up to par,physically,and all that was noted for meds was anti-anxiety and sleep med.Again I am going to question “where was Dr Murray’s mind and his professional know how,I did not read of any vitamin supplement,or B/12 or any Cardiac med being given.B/12 is a given,especially in what Michael was doing.I do not inderstand Murray logic either.You can bet Michael skipped many a meal,yet Murray,seemed unconcerned,WHY just drugs,? :gaah!:

  123. DiamondGirl says:

    Nurse Lee had been taking care of that and I believe Chef Kia Chase was also going on with Nurse Lee’s program.

  124. kaarin22 says:

    Beverly, I did wonder about Michaels diet of very “healthy” food.A person in tough physical training does need a sufficienyt calorie intake.Athletes tank up on carbohydrates a day or so before competitions or strenuos training.The body stores this as glycogen in the liver.They don´t compete with a full stomach.
    DiamondGirl-I understand that rules re autopsies varies between countries and probably states in the US.What murray avoided was the cordoning off of a potential crime scene or scene of accident.His very first “idea” was to say that Michael had “a reaction”, trying to implicate an allergic reaction.
    Once the police got to the scene it had been visited by a number of persons.

  125. kaarin22 says:

    Roxanne ,I am shocked and sorry for what happened to your son´s fathers siser, and cannot understand that he could refuse an autopsy.
    I think auotopsies are performed more often in western Europe than in the US.In my country every accidental death has a forensic autopsy.

  126. BEVERLY says:

    ~o) Good Morning,Well, after reading Michael Jackson’s autopsy,which in part stated he was severely emaciated,and he was eating only one meal a day,It appears to me that the Doctor,Nurse,and the cook,FAILED.Maybe at trial they will explain why no vitamins or supplements because none are listed.Also listed,Chronic Lung Inflammation, Respiratory Bronchiolits,diffuse Congestion.Knowing these factors,Dr Murray,a cardiac specialist took upon himself to administer “Propofol” without proper equipment,Now if I was to make a guess,and I am only spectulating,it would be Dr Murray talked Michael into being the only one Michael needed.You know,no sharing money,watched anesthesia being given,and told Michael he could do it,You know GREED.he did not have to share the money.I do not know what the law calls it,but I call it” aforethought”Weighing all the problems that could and did arise,but went ahead anyway. :mornincoffee:

  127. Roxanne says:

    125
    This was about 20 years ago. I was still a teenager and at the time we were high school sweethearts and were not married yet. My son was 2 years from being born. Her family begged for an autopsy but he was the husband and he wouldn’t allow it. The ME and the Police were all buddies and they went along with “it’s obvious she committed suicide” and if it was against her wishes then they would follow them. He woulldn’t allow her body to be embalmed either so there was no chance of ever exhuming her body for autopsy. Back then it wasn’t the law that a person has to be embalmed. Now, it’s the law. At least it is here.

  128. DiamondGirl says:

    No embalming needed here if the person is cremated.

    It hurts when someone you know and loved dies without any cause of death being found out. But it had to hurt more just “knowing” what happened and peoples hands were tied.

    Bev, we know it was the dollars and his groin that he thought about. That is why his patient is dead now.

  129. Roxanne says:

    I didn’t think about cremation but I guess that just kind of goes without saying. It’s a needless thing if one is being cremated. The only way I could see it is if they aren’t able to do it right away from some reason. I do know that even being cremated if they die out of state they have to be embalmed before they can cross state lines. We went though that with my grandfather when he died several years ago. He wasn’t creamated but we couldn’t have his body for burial until a day later because they couldn’t cross state lines without him being embalemed.

  130. DiamondGirl says:

    Here, cremation has to happen within 24 hours I believe. Even if the ashes are buried they have to be placed in a cement vault.

    Tomorrow the judge may decide if the new lawyer will or will not be allowed to join murrays defense team.

  131. Ken says:

    new article up about some unsolved murders in Ca, and also there will be new papers up on MJ later today

  132. DiamondGirl says:

    hanks for the papers. It does leave more questins about the “This Is It ” concert series and how good was Frank for Michael.

  133. DiamondGirl says:

    oops Thanks…..

  134. Beth says:

    Beverly — hope you are doing well dear!

    Here is a pic of Miss DL from today’s date…
    http://celebritybabyscoop.com/node/52890?fid=61062

  135. BEVERLY says:

    DEAR BETH—-Thank you so very much.She has a little of Daddy starting to show,and Larry is starting to get the worried look off his face,He looks like a very happy daddy Lord,when I think what he went through to get his child,it almost seem like a dream that never happened.The one thing Dannielynn will always know,no matter what people say,Daddy fought hard for his little girl,Daddy always loved her and wanted her,That will mean a lot the older she gets @};-

  136. BEVERLY says:

    ~o) Good Morning,As I was making dinner last night a thought came to mind,if Michael had a nurse,why did Dr Murray not utilize her knowledge and professional know how.to monitor Michael durning the ‘propofol” procedure.The more I keep thinking about this whole mess,the more I am comming up with a lot that sounds like sneaky going on,and Dr Murray knew the danger he was putting Michael in,and did not care.He did not want to involve the nurse because the nurse would refuse.Everything Dr Murray was doing HE KNEW was WRONG.with the knowledge Michael’s life was in a somewhat fragile state,he went ahead anyway.NO ONE,much less a medical professional,knowing Michael’s medical history,would even think of what Dr Murray was doing .To me there is a lot of MALICE,going on,NOT GIVING A DAMN is MALICE :mornincoffee:

  137. Roxanne says:

    nope

  138. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE—You and I have a VERY DIFFERENT VIEW of Malice.Dr Murray may have not set out to kill Michael,but with his GREED,he did NOTHING to prevent his death,HE KNEW the wrong outcome from Propofol is death,and still proceeded,To ME,Michael would still be alive,except for Dr Murray’s intentional acts,not getting the right equipment and assistance to monitor Michael WAS INTENTIONAL,Dr Murray made a CONCIOUS DECISION ,to go ahead,knowing all the dangers of PROPOFOLHe cannot say ”oops” my pt died from a med I KNEW COULD KILL HIM,but I really did not mean for him to die.I do not know what was in Dr Murray head,except,not concern.you cannot with me whitewash his actions and say,”i did not mean for Michael to die,when all your actions prove you did not care one way or the other.

  139. Ken says:

    Beverly, the DA cannot charge someone with murder based on your definition of what malice is. They have to go by what the legal definition of malice is, set out in the laws of california, and ‘not giving a damn’ does not fall under that definition, nor does any of the other actions he’s done.

  140. DiamondGirl says:

    Beverly, Nurse Lee had taken care of Michael’s diet to get ready for the concert series. murray did not dismiss Nurse Lee, for some unknown reason she left Michael’s employment, exactly when I do not know off hand. Nurse Lee WAS called when Michael was suffering about one side of his body was freezing, the other was hot. Someone from Michael’s staffed called her, she, herself, was in the hospital but strongly recommended that Michael get taken to the hosptita. This was a couple of days before his death.

    http://celebrifi.com/gossip/Cherilyn-Lee-Michael-Jackson-Jackson-nurse-Lee-photo-539026.html

    Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse, said she had treated Michael Jackson. Lee said Jackson asked her for Diprivan, a drug that is administered intravenously. Lee claimed Jackson called her on Sunday, June 21.

    Lee said Jackson told her one side of his body was hot while the other side was very cold. Lee said she suspected Jackson received something that hit his central nervous system and that resulted in his extreme feelings of hot and cold.

    Michael MIGHT still be alive if someone would have taken Nurse Lee’s advice and got Jackson’s ass to a hospital.

    I am not even going to address the malice issue again. Nothing that I could say will change your mind but the DA cannot prove beyond a shawdow of doubt murder 1 or 2.

  141. BEVERLY says:

    KEN—–The DA can find 23 charges on Dr Kapoor.Dr E and Howard,and they cannot find only ONE way to charge Dr Murray,please.Something smelled from the beginning of this case,why not three charges and let the jury decide.BY the way,how does anyone know,what was in Dr Murray’s mind,many a person has died at the hands of a ”FRIEND”can the DA prove what was in Dr Murray’s mind,or is it only Murray saying they were friends,and Michael wanted him,they sure charged Howard with everything under the sun,and Howard was depending on Anna for his financial welfare,so if Murray would not harm Michael why would Howard.harm Anna.?The state of Cal has gotten me so angry,my blood pressure is over the limit.I am also angry at the opening of a store selling marijuana items,anyone can buy.Will nickname Cal the HOP-HEAD city of the world,and please do not say it will not harm anyone,I HAVE BEEN ON THIS BATTLE FOR45 TO 50 YEARS.

  142. DiamondGirl says:

    What you fail to understand is the fact that Stern and the doctors BROKE THE LAW. It was illegal for Stern to get CONTROLLED MEDICATION in his name. It was illegal for DR Kris to put perscriptions in names of people that she neither saw as a patient, did not treat or keep records of. They broke the law. And the 23 counts was for each incident that they did break the law. Neither were tried for involuntary manslaughter or murder.

    The two cases have very little in common. Anna drank herself to death with the CH. Her death was not ruled a homicide. Propofol is not a controlled medication. If any good will come out of MIchael’s death, maybe they will now reconsider making propofol a controlled medication to be used only in a hospital setting. I certainly hope so.

    As far as the pot, I do not suffer from daily pain from any disease. If it works for someone to be able to function on a daily level, I will not be calling that person a hop head or any other name. They are dealing with their pain, I am not. Each one of us “deals” with something for any given reason. It has been my experience if I knock someone’s actions, it usually bites me in the ass.

  143. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl———-Well I want to see how many that used there name on Michael’s prescrip bottles will be charged,none so far.and in Cal the marijuana store with all item is for all,not only the sick,anyone can buy what they want.I do not care if Cal does not find Propofol ,a controlled med,I care about NO ASSISTANT NO EQUIPMENT, and most of all NO LICENSE TO GIVE AT HOME OR ANYWHERE no one knows Murray’s thoughts.Can you answer the question,why did he on purpose leave out the fact Propofol was given to michael to the EMT’S,if Murray’s actions were on the up and up,and he was allowed to administer Propofol,at home,with no equipment or assistant what was all the hiding about.He had knowledge his actions could cause death,And if he is trying to blame Michael,if the med was not in the house Michael could not use it,Dr Murray brought the med to the House,and for the slimeball he is ,Propofol was delivered to his girlfriends house,WHY?if he was allowed to administer Propofol,why not deliver the med to his office or Michael’s home.The rat even used his girlfriend.

  144. DiamondGirl says:

    My guess would be because he was scare shitless, he thought that the propofol would be out of Michael’s system, it would change the offical time of death further away from the time he had fond him or he is just plain freaking stupid. It does NOT matter. He knew his actions killed Michael which he refuses to take blame for now and then.

    These doctors that gave drugs to Jackson in a different name/used an alias more than likely had medical records stating that these drugs were for Michael. But do not believe everything you hear….the use of any propofol prior was given during either procedures that he had done or during the last concert series.

    No matter if you lke the fact or not, propofol did not have restrictions placed on it. Of course Murray knew that the propofol could kill Jackson. I can’t answer why he didn’t have any equipment in place nor a monitor..maybe because the freaking idiot thought he was God and knew what he was doing. He did this for 6 weeks and had no so called reactions. I think you really have to look at what he did different those few days prior to Jackson’s death.

    Beverly, I would have loved to seen murray charged with murder 1 AND be found guilty of such. But it would not have happened no matter what you or I think. The DA can’t throw a slew of charges at the defendant and hope something sticks. HE HAS TO GO WITH WHAT HE CAN PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.

    The propofol was at first delivered to his Vegas office, when the delivery arrived it was requested that it be shipped to CA. Why use the girlfriend’s addy? Probably the only address he knew at the time. And once it worked the first time, that was it. LV pharmacy DID NOT KNOW that it was going to a private address.

    Oh and murray uses women and the funny thing is, they allow it. So I do not feel one damn bit sorry for the woman who got pregnant up by a married man and a scrondrel at that.

  145. Ken says:

    Beverly [142] if you believe pot should be illegal because it harms people, I hope you are also campaigning for alcohol to be made as illegal as pot is. It harms people too. Oh, it also causes the deaths of people, not just the one(s) drinking.

  146. Ken says:

    Oh, I should also add to that tobacco. How many people does it harm too? How many die a year from it? Or is it only pot that should be outlawed?

  147. BEVERLY says:

    KEN—–You are trying to rationalize.Well alcohol,and tobacco are legal so why not legalize good old pot.If you are trying to make there case for them you will never win with me.I have seen to many pot heads very,very young pot heads,who think they are hurting no one,whats a little pot,We already have kids sneaking pot at the skate part,fighting,skipping school.telling there parents were to get off and why stop at pot.hell go for the more powerful stuff,Maybe kids can light up between classes,and maybe you can get on a bus or train the next time the driver lit up before comming to work,or is lighting up while driving.I would just love riding down the turnpike at 66 or 70 miles a hour with a driver that is or has smoked pot,I would prefer young brains,functional,and old brains working as well.

  148. Ken says:

    Beverly, would you like them to be drinking while driving you down the turnpike at those speeds? They do that just as much, if not more, than smoking pot. Alcohol is more accessible to people than weed is, especially that bus driver you use. Do you know how many cops drink while on the job? How’s that for a picture? That cop that maybe responding to a call just had 1 or 2 beers at lunch before going back on duty. Is that okay in your book? You seem to be saying it is, because alcohol is legal, so it’s not a problem.

  149. Ken says:

    Just because a substance is considered legal, does not make it safe. It can be as harmful.

  150. BEVERLY says:

    KEN,No way am I saying it is ok.but does that mean you have to add another problem to the mix.There is not enough to contend with.You know those two fried eggs they show you on tv,I am having a hard enough time teaching my neice and nephew right from wrong without the adults,adding there screwed up ideas.You mention,drinking before duty, NO it is not ok and they should be suspended, I am saying,DO NOT ADD TO THE MISERY,that already is happening.

  151. DiamondGirl says:

    I don’t want to appear like I am defending weed, I don’t use it, I tried it many years ago got a major headache and haven’t tried it again since but I cannot find the fault with it, if it helps people with the pain that they suffer from. What makes it so different from the CH that Anna swallowed? Or the morphine that a person takes for their pain?

    The drunk driver has affected me more in my lifetime than anyone smoking weed has. And that is the truth to the matter.

  152. Roxanne says:

    Bev
    Legal def of malice is different from your definition of malice. You could also say that another person is responsible for the drowning death of a friend because, even though both people went in right after eating, one person knew the dangers of doing so and the other didn’t but went anyway and the other person drowned so he was malice in letting his friend swim so soon after eating, resulting in the friends death.

  153. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE—-There is a BIG BIG BIG difference,in what you just described,as to a MD,I am talking about a physcian having training in cardiology,NOT ANESTHESIA.I am talking about a educated man who was fully aware of the DANGER to Michael by giving a med that DID NOT belong for home use,What lay people do is not my concern,it is what a MD Michael trusted did.I also do not care,what the hell the law is in Cal,In MY eyes he committed murder.and it appears the one’s Michael trusted the most,only cared about his money.just as I could never understand “Taz” a RN,never going near Anna to check her at all,Maybe I was looking for a medical professional with love and a little bit of care for there ‘FRIEND,AND WOULD TRIPLE THERE EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE,there friend was treated to the best knowledge I as a professional could give,not 100% a 1000%.When you know what you are doing can cause someone to DIE,and they die because YOU put the IV AND DRUG into Michael’s arm,without any way of pulling the pt out of cardic arrest I camnnot call it anything but MURDER.

  154. heath says:

    So why don’t they want to share info….maybe it can’t take the full attention of being questioned.
    Do Judges threaten this action often? $1,500 per day fine….

  155. heath says:

    I also question the continued banning of weed, it has been in existence probably as long as alcohol. I never liked it but I am asthmatic…I even think once they used it to treat asthma….

    Alcohol and weed have caused a problem for society…but the Governments make money from it the other they don’t. same as tobacco and gambling.. none are good for you if not used or done in moderation.

    Hipocritical I think.. either ban it all or legalise all. Governments are dependant on the revenues but they ALL CAN CAUSE HARM. Imagine the savings in policing and the health sector…when does it become cost effective to let go..

  156. Ken says:

    Heath, they make money off all of it. They buy the drugs from the cartel in SA and sell them on the streets here in order to bust criminals, then they put them in prisons run by private corporations, who make big money off the prisoners. The gov’t also uses the drugs to fund activities in other countries. If they really legalized weed, taxed it and regulated it like they do alcohol and tobacco, yeah, there would still be problems like they have with those products, but it would be less of a problem than we have now, and it would cause certain companies to be out of millions of dollars they make off the gov’t housing prisoners who’s only crime was being caught with a joint. This is the last bit of Prohibition left that hasn’t been repelled.

  157. DiamondGirl says:

    Heath… I have no idea why the defense is pulling this latest stunt. When they requested a speedy trial the judge was a little surprised and stated his concern but went ahead and scheduled it. Maybe EC pulls this kind of bull in Texas (and we all know what Texas is capable of) but CA is not going to fall for it.

    I am already reading how some think this judge is biased because he threatened sanctions if the defense refuses to follow the law. :whatever:

  158. DiamondGirl says:

    Bev, you have made your point of view pretty much known and no matter what is posted, you will stick to what you feel. Whether you or I like it or not, the DA cannot not prove murder in the first or second degree to 12 jurors. The DA wants a conviction. It is that simple. Have you been reading other boards on this subject? There are people out in the world that believe that Jackson deserved to die because they KNOW that Jackson molested children.

    The defense supposely now has an “expert” who will testify that Michael was addicted to demoral and will state under oath that this is what killed Jackson and not all that propofol that murray gave him.

    I know I will never go to see murray as a doctor because he sucks at that job. We all put our faith in our doctors that we choose. I want to see the man convicted of involuntary manslaughter. It really is that simple.

  159. BEVERLY says:

    Diamondgirl——–Thomas Mesereau,Michael’s former Attorney did say it was a shame that Michael drug use and the past will come up.and as I said before,Michael drug use has nothing whatsoever to do with what Dr Murray failed to do,Dr Murray is on trial,and his actions,not Michael.As far as a defense witness,claiming Demoral killed Michael,that would mean the ME is a LIAR or incompetent.And if Dr Murray knew Michael had taken demoral,and still administered the meds he gave Michael PLUS the propofol,all the more it is not involuntary Manslaughter. :mornincoffee:

  160. BEVERLY says:

    PS—Ir would be a shame to take Michael apart again,and that is what the defense is going to do,retry Michael all over again,This trial is about Dr Murray and his actions,and the DA better get on the ball,no wonder OJ was found not guilty,and Diamondgirl,I feel the DA offfice had there butts frosted when Michael was found NOT GUILTY,and are now doing a half azz job of trying to convict the Doctor.In otherwords,I find it a lame excuse,that they could not get a conviction on Murder,and again I will ask.WHY NOT GIVE THREE OPTIONS AND LET THE JURY DECIDE.iI feel the DA office is doing a halfazz job as payback for losing there molestation case.

  161. DiamondGirl says:

    I agree that if the defense plans on using that, it will bite them in the ass since no sign of the drug was found in his system. The defense will try to bring in the fact that Michael was a drug addict. But I also believe they will have a very hard job explaining that there was medication at that house that Jackson could have taken and didn’t. They are hired to slam the victim and they will do whatever they can get away with. I do believe that this judge will stop any attack that does not pertain to the charges at hand. Defense will bring up all the so called needle sites, however murray was starting iv’s for how many nights? Over 50 nights…. well I do believe that sort of explains the needle marks.

  162. Roxanne says:

    155
    Ok let’s make this guy a swim coach….. what’s the difference?

  163. DiamondGirl says:

    =)) ……..

  164. heath says:

    Ken how much of any countries budget is spent on the policing of drugs in comparison to their health budgets.. I would think it is a huge chunk.

    Do you know North Korea actually got caught here in our waters with a ship load of drugs they were going to sell for foreign currency….that boggles the mind..

    But having warm fuzzy feelings that you are saving peoples lives and it should be banned has become a long way from the reality.

    I know I am being cynical again and can’t see the big picture… :)

  165. heath says:

    So it is blame the Judge time again..we know how that works.

    I think the Judge might have reason to be a hard.. this is going to get crazy trying to blame a dead man for his own death… with the man dead I think when he was supposed to have killed himself.

    Doctors have a duty of care, they take an oath.. comes with the job…a Doctor administering a drug must be held more accountable than a lay person administering the same drug even if doing so is illegal..

    The Doctor has the learning and supposedly the skill.

  166. BEVERLY says:

    ROXANNE—–So he is a swim coach,he is NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL and a MD and your coach DID NOT SUPPLY ANY DRUG OR SET UP A IV.
