Joe Jackson’s federal complaint goes on to say in part that.

“At 10:40 a.m. Dr. Conrad Murray claimed he administered 25 mg of Propofol (Diprivan) diluted with Lidocaine (Xylocaine), through an I.V. drip. Murray said Michael Jackson finally went to sleep. After approximately 10 minutes, Murray stated he left Michael Jackson’s bedside to go to the restroom to relieve himself. He claimed he was out of the room for approximately two (2) minutes until 10:52 a.m. At approximately 10:52 a.m., Murray claimed he returned to Michael Jackson’s bedside and noticed Michael Jackson was no longer breathing. Dr. Conrad Murray claimed he started cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by hand. Murray said he administered 0.2 mg of Flumazenil (Romazicon) to Michael Jackson, which is an anti-overdose medication for benzodiazepines, but which has no effect on Propofol. Murray stated he called for assistance on his cellular telephone to Michael Amir Williams, a security guard at the Carolwood house. [He] said that while he spoke to Williams and told him the nature of the emergency, Williams did not respond by coming to his aid. [H]e continued his CPR while waiting for Williams. After a few minutes Murray claimed he went downstairs to the kitchen where he asked the chef, Kai Chase, to send Michael Jackson’s son, PJJ, Jr., to his father’s bedside. PJJ, Jr., responded to Murray’s call and called house security assistance. Alberto Alvarez, a security guard, went to aid and saw Michael Jackson on the bed lifeless. If this is true then I don’t know of any parent or grandparent that would not go WTF were you doing to traumatize a child like this?

The complaint goes with a time line and states that Murray claimed that after only a few minutes Alvarez called 911 on his cellular telephone for help. Murray then returned to Michael Jackson’s bedside. Murray claimed he continued his CPR on the bed in which he had found Michael Jackson.

Then we have what Joe Jackson is alleging is a cover-up by Murray. My first thought is did this come straight from the police reports of talking to persons at the home?

Alberto Alvarez told police that before he called 911 Murray instructed him to conceal bottles of Propofol, place them in a bag, and clean up the room. Murray’s conduct of attempting to conceal the multi-state supply of drugs and the use of their facilities in Texas and Nevada to obtain medications was an extreme departure from the standard of care. Alberto Alvarez told police Murray asked him to call 911 only after the drugs were concealed. The Los Angeles Fire Department recorded the 911 telephone call at 12:22 p.m., which was approximately one (1) hour and thirty (30) minutes from the time Murray claimed he found Michael Jackson not breathing at 10:52 A. M. Murray told the Detectives several times that it was around 11:00 a.m. that he found Michael Jackson not breathing.

Then we have outlined for us the time line take two after the police confronted Murray with his own cell phone records.

Murray altered his version of the June 25, 2009, events upon the police discovering that he spent forty-seven (47) minutes talking on the telephone between 11:18 a.m. and 12:05 P.M. on June 25, 2009. Murray felt he could change his story because he kept no medical records documenting his treatment. This is another Do What moment for me!

Murray claimed in his new version of the events that he discovered Michael Jackson was not breathing while he was talking on the telephone with his girlfriend at 12:05 p.m. The story changed from going to the bathroom for two minutes (2) after ten (10) minutes of observing Michael Jackson at 10:40 a.m., to talking on the phone with several people from 11:18 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. for 47 minutes. Murray the Complaint claims; ”…Eliminated his careful observations of Michael Jackson and substituted telephone conversations with others where he didn’t notice that Michael Jackson had stopped breathing.”

Next comes what Joe Jackson alleges was found in the autopsy report.

The Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy of Michael Jackson on June 26, 2009, and reached conclusions on September 18, 2009. The Report concluded Michael Jackson died from acute Propofol intoxication contributed to by the “Benzodiazepine Effect.” Michael Jackson had a “polypharmacy” of drugs in his system. Seven (7) of them were detected in the toxicology screen. Flumazenil (Romazicon) was detected in the I.V. …There were lethal levels of Propofol (Diprivan) in Michael Jackson’s body. Murray had claimed he only administered 25 mg of Propofol to Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009. However, the Coroner’s Toxicology Report showed lethal amounts in his system where administration had to exceed more than five (5) times that amount. Murray told Dr. Cooper at the UCLA emergency room that prior to June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson had not been ill, Michael Jackson was suffering from chronic pneumonia, chronic respiratory bronchitis, anemia, and brain swelling. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Autopsy Report documented Michael Jackson’s underlying illnesses. Jackson’s autopsy findings identified a total of nine (9) drugs in his system: Propofol (Diprivan), Lidocaine (Xylocaine), Diazepam (Valium),Nordiazepam (Calmday), Lorazepam (Ativan), Midazolam (Versed), Ephederine (Ephedra), Flumazenil (Romazicon), and Flomax (Tamsulosin Hydrocloride). The LA County Coroner concluded Michael Jackson died from acute Propofol intoxication and “Benzodiazepine Effect.”

Michael Jackson had neurological, pulmonary, and anemia signs over several weeks prior to his death. In May and June, 2009, Michael Jackson was confused, easily frightened, unable to remember, obsessive, and disoriented. He had impaired memory, loss of appetite, and absence of energy. He was cold and shivering during the summer rehearsals for his show, and as shown in photographs and motion pictures of him, he uncharacteristically wore heavy clothing during the rehearsals, while other dancers wore scant clothing and were perspiring from the heat. Others had to give him jackets or shirts to keep him warm and he needed a heater to control the shivering.

THE AEG CONTRACT DID DR. CONRAD MURRAY WORK FOR AEG OR MICHEAL JACKSON?

On January 26, 2009, AEG Live, LLC., entered into a written agreement with Michael Jackson whereby Jackson agreed to perform the provisions of a contract between AEG Live, LLC and the Michael Jackson Company, LLC. The agreement was an “artist loan out agreement” where the Michael Jackson Company agreed to supply Michael Jackson to perform various concerts and shows for AEG from July 26, 2009, through September 30, 2009. On approximately May 3, 2009, AEG Live complained to Michael Jackson that he was not participating in the show’s preparations. AEG believed Jackson’s failure to rehearse was because he was under the influence of drugs and medications from various doctors, including Dr. Arnold Klein in Beverly Hills, California, and he was an addicted. AEG demanded Jackson cease seeing Dr. Klein, that he no longer receive medications from Dr. Klein, and that he have a new doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray. On May 8, 2009, AEG telephoned Murray in Las Vegas, and stated that AEG was interested in hiring Murray to be Jackson’s personal “concierge” physician and to exclusively treat Jackson during the planned shows which had been expanded from the original dates to dates through March, 2010. AEG stated it wanted Murray to “wean” Jackson off medications, reduce his dependence on medications, and get Jackson to attend rehearsals and perform. AEG said it would hire Murray and pay him $150,000.00 per month for 11 months commencing May, 2009, through March, 2010, for a total of $1,650,000.00, along with other benefits, travel, and expenses. AEG stated it would pay for all of Murray’s equipment, supplies, personnel, and treatments administered to Jackson. AEG and Murray agreed Murray would start immediately. AEG Confirmed the Murray Agreement in Writing. On May 8, 2009, AEG confirmed the agreement stating AEG would provide Murray with Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation equipment and a nurse during his services. On May 8, 2009, Dr. Murray accepted the contract’s terms.

JUNE 18, 2010 THE DEMAND AS DESCRIBED IN BOTH JOE JACKSON’S FEDERAL SUIT AND KATHERINE JACKSON’S STATE SUIT:

On June 18, 2009, Michael Jackson did not appear at rehearsals. He continued to show both the signs and symptoms of the benzodiazepines and Propofol which Murray administered each night to get Michael Jackson to sleep. Jackson was unable to communicate with his friends and wasn’t making sense. On June 18, 2009, AEG’s agents traveled to Michael Jackson’s house at Carolwood in Beverly Hills, California. Michael Jackson was present, and they said they were there for a “drug intervention.” Murray attended the meeting at AEG’s direction… …At the June 18, 2009; meeting AEG demanded Michael Jackson stop seeing Dr. Arnold Klein and stop taking the drugs Klein gave to him. AEG said Klein’s drugs made him sleepy and prevented him from rehearsing. AEG demanded Michael Jackson take only the medications being given to him by Conrad Murray and to do what Murray said for him to do. AEG demanded Jackson show up for rehearsals. AEG stated that if Jackson missed any further rehearsals, they were going to “pull the plug” on the show, Jackson’s house, the doctor, and all the expenses for which they paid. There would be lawsuits and Jackson’s career would be over. They said he needed to work with Murray to get to sleep at night. They stated there would be no further failures to perform on his part or everything with AEG was over. AEG told Murray he had to make sure Jackson got to rehearsals. Unless Jackson got to rehearsals, the shows would be cancelled and Murray’s employment would be terminated. It was Murray’s job to assure Jackson was at rehearsals, and Murray was to attend rehearsals with Jackson. They said it was to be “tough love” and that they had read Jackson the “riot act.” Murray agreed each of AEG’s demands. On June 18, 2009, at 1:11 p.m., the very day of the “Riot Act” meeting at Jackson’s house, AEG sent Murray a written agreement regarding his services to AEG. Murray had been rendering his services to AEG under the May 8, 2009, oral Agreement, and AEG never instructed Murray to cease his services despite the fact Murray and AEG both knew Murray had not received the Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation equipment, the nurse, or other equipment AEG had promised. The written Agreement delivered to Murray on June 18, 2009, at 11:11 p.m. provided the “term” of Murray’s services was May 1, 2009, through completion of the concert series. In addition to the housing, insurance, travel, equipment, and premises where Murray would perform services, AEG was the only one who could fire Murray. Murray was to perform the services as AEG directed, and Michael Jackson had no right to terminate the Agreement. It was AEG who directed, controlled, oversaw, and supervised Murray’s services. The Agreement provided that Michael Jackson was to sign the document, which was never a part of the prior discussions between Murray and AEG and was not part of the May 8, 2009, confirmation of their oral agreement. The Agreement stated AEG would provide Murray with Cardio-Pulmonary resuscitation equipment and a nurse. However, AEG never provided the Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation equipment or a nurse.

When Jackson got to the rehearsal at the Forum in Inglewood, California, on June 18, 2009, at 9:30 p.m., a few hours after the “Riot Act” meeting, he was furious. He had no choice but to accept AEG’s dangerous demands or suffer severe economic consequences. He “stormed” into the building visibly upset. There were no smiles from Jackson like usual, and Jackson was acting scared to death. At AEG’s direction Murray went to the rehearsal that day to observe Jackson. Murray sat down and talked on the cell phone. Murray took directions from AEG, and he remained at the rehearsal until AEG excused him. On the evening of June 18, 2009, Murray attended to Jackson and gave him a cocktail of Valium, Ativan, Versed, and Propofol in order to get him to sleep. The “cocktail” Murray provided was similar to the medications he had given Jackson for the prior five (5) weeks, and Murray sought to make sure Jackson slept so he could attend rehearsals the next day. Murray administered Propofol…. Jackson appeared for rehearsals on June 19, 2009, at the Forum. Conrad Murray was also present at rehearsals on June 19, 2009, at AEG’s direction. Michael Jackson was upset, not coherent, and seemed drugged and disoriented. There were no rehearsals over the Father’s Day weekend. Jackson continued to receive treatments from Murray over the weekend. Jackson did not appear for rehearsal until Tuesday of following week, June 23, 2009. When he appeared for rehearsal, Jackson was disoriented and freezing cold. His assistants had to give him several shirts to wear under his long heavy coat because he was so cold. Jackson had to have a heater at rehearsals to unsuccessfully attempt to control his cold-shivering while everyone else in the June heat of the Staples Center was warm. Jackson’s shivering and disorientation continued on June 24, 2009, the last day before his death. On June 23, 2009, AEG forwarded Murray by e-mail a revised copy of the Agreement. On June 24, 2009, the night before Michael Jackson died; Conrad Murray signed the Agreement and faxed it to AEG.

Murray, Acres Home, and Global violated the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. sections 12181 et. seq. by aiding, abetting, participating in and acquiescing in AEG’s interference with Michael Jackson’s medical treatments and medical decisions based on Michael Jackson’s disability of being addicted to legal prescription medications. AEG directed and controlled Jackson’s medical treatment through a pattern of discrimination based on his status as a disabled person. Murray aided, abetted, participated in, and acquiesced in AEG’s denial of Michael Jackson’s equal access to AEG’s services and public accommodations based on his disability, and AEG preconditioned Michael Jackson’s access to its services and accommodations based on his acceptance of dangerous medical treatments. AEG, in concert with Murray, Acres Home, and Global, retaliated against Michael Jackson because of his addiction and status as a disabled person by coercing him with threats of economic damages and termination of AEG’s services unless Michael Jackson submitted to dangerous medical treatments.

PER KATHERINE JACKSON LAWSUIT AGAINST ONLY AEG AND ITS EMPLOYEES MINUS DR. CONRAD MURRAY:

At the time of Michael Jackson’s death, Michael Jackson was in a contract With AEG that covered the production of a lengthy tour of live shows – the “This Is It” Tour~ featuring Michael Jackson. At the time of his death, Michael Jackson was under the immediate care of a doctor selected by, hired by, and controlled by AEG; indeed AEG demanded and required that Michael Jackson be treated by this particular doctor to ensure that Michael Jackson would attend all rehearsals and shows on the tour AEG had an employment contract with this doctor that, among other benefits, paid him $150,000 per month with his sole and exclusive job being to make sure Michael Jackson got to rehearsals and shows. Due to AEG’s actions and inactions, three loving children lost their father, a loving mother and father lost their son, the Jackson siblings lost their brother, and the world lost its most celebrated entertainer. AEG, through AEG LIVE, LLC, entered into a written agreement dated January 26, 2009, with the Michael Jackson Company LLC (THE AEG-JACKSON AGREEMENT). The agreement was an “artist loan out agreement” whereby Michael Jackson would perform a certain number of concerts and shows for AEG. The agreement was signed by RANDY PHILLIPS and Michael Jackson The AEG•JACKSON AGREEMENT provided that AEG would have the exclusive right to manufacture and sell Michael Jackson merchandise associated with the Tour In exchange for these and other revenues associated with the Tour, as well as for the privilege associated with sponsoring the This Is It Tour, AEG advanced Michael Jackson substantial sums of money, which it was to recoup through revenue from the Tour If, however, Jackson failed to perform, or fal1ed to generate the revenue to cover the advances, then AEG ~would have the right to collect the advance against security provided by Michael Jackson and his company, Michael Jackson LLC The assets from which AEC “could seize from Michael Jackson include the Sony/ATV song catalogue owned by Jackson (which includes iconic songs, by the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Jackson family, and many more) Indeed, AEG was even entitled by the contract to recoup from Jackson the production costs for the Tour Itself if the Tour were not to be successful. By virtue of THE AEO-JACKSON AGREEMENT, AEO came to control much of Jackson’s life. The home Jackson lived m was provided by AEG, his finances were dependent on AEG, and his assets stood as security if he failed to perform. Jackson’s physical health was also a focus of the AEG-JACKSON Agreement. The Agreement specifically provided that Jackson would assist AEO to purchase life insurance that would benefit AEG upon Jackson’s demise, and that Jackson would agree to medical examinations for the acquisition of that Insurance The contract also required Jackson to purchase cancellation insurance at his own expense and name AEG as the beneficiary. Right here my question if AEG had Michael Jackson so insured as to prevent ANY financial lost to them then why did they also need the Sony/ATV song catalogue?

Katherine Jackson’s Complaint goes on to say; “In early May 2009, AEG complained to Michael Jackson that he was missing rehearsals and states It was because of a negative health condition related to prescription medications. AEG instructed Michael Jackson to stop seeing and taking medications from his current doctor and to instead start seeing a doctor that AEG would provide. Next question would this not send up red flares of prescribing medications to a KNOWN addict? If so why are there no charges of this against Dr. Murray?

Mrs. Jackson’s complaint goes on to state almost exactly the same allegations as the federal complaint filed by Joe Jackson contains about the contract with Dr. Murray although it adds a couple of perks that the federal suit does not have listed; “…along with other benefits, travel, and expenses, including a large house In London and health insurance”. This California goes into the June 18th meeting and the threats made by AEG to Michael Jackson again stating there would be lawsuits, they would ruin him and the Sony/ATV song catalogue was again mentioned.

Katherine Jackson’s suit as does Joe Jackson’s suit state that AEG and Murray had the contract and that; “AEG could fire Murray If he did not perform to their liking. Murray was to perform the services as AEG directed, and Michael Jackson had no right to terminate the Agreement. It was AEG who directed, controlled, oversaw, and supervised Murray’s services.”

Katherine Jackson’s lawsuit also mentions the trauma to Michael Jackson’s oldest son by having to stand by and watch the death of his father. IF that is true then it is unforgivable in my opinion, can you imagine the nightmares this child most have?

Tomorrow’s article will deal with the answers by both AEG and Dr. Conrad Murray.

I have finally caught up on reading all of the lawsuits involving Michael Jackson, his primary doctor, Conrad Murray, retained by AEG; Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, federal suit for wrongful death; Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, state suit for wrongful death against AEG; the criminal trial and charging of Dr. Conrad Murray; the Harris County Texas case [yeppers Harris County is in this mess now], of Murray’s insurance company wanting to drop him; there is at least two other cases one in Nevada and one in California, not the Probate case but a new suit in California filed last week, in the tragic saga of Michael Jackson, his life and his tragic death.

My first question is why if Dr. Conrad Murray changed his “story and statement” to the Los Angeles police at least three times was Murray charged with only involuntarily manslaughter and not murder? This has become mind boggling for me as to how this has changed and the horrid undisputed fact that Murray called Jackson’s oldest child up to the room to be forever traumatized by watching the death of his father. What was that about, like an alibi, or just to pull these children into Murray’s defense as witnesses? If that was the plan as it has now been announced that he intends to call the two oldest children as witnesses, then that shows intent in my opinion of “hell I need an alibi here, where is Jackson’s son”.

I have gone over the filings in multiple suits and encourage you to read them as well. They will be refereed to in this series of articles with links but as well will be kept archived in the document download section of all things Michael Jackson for ease to refer back to along this long journey we appear to be on.

Here are the highlights:

June 25, 2010 Joe Jackson’s Original Complaint of which the court in California ruled it was flawed and needed to be refilled.

August 23, 2010 Joe Jackson First Amended Compliant of which the Court ruled this one could go forward and the original filing had been cured with this filing. This is the twenty two page filing that part 1 and 2 of our series on the ever changing story of Dr. Conrad Murray will be based on, it is a good and at times complicated read, especially if like me you have to keep going back to check the time lines.

This is what I noticed in this filing that had me going WTF???

First no one appears to be denying that as Joe Jackson’s Complaint states in part; “Michael Jackson was a person with a disability within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. section 12102 (2) (A), and 29 C.F.R. section 1630.2(g). He was addicted to legal prescription medications and “substantially limited” in his abilities, life activities, and physical capabilities because of his legal drug use as defined in section 12210. Michael Jackson was drug dependent, and in the course of undergoing drug rehabilitation under the supervision of Conrad Murray, a licensed doctor. Jackson’s use of prescription medications had existed for years and was likely to continue for an indefinite period.” Right off why if there is no dispute that Michael Jackson was hooked on prescription drugs as a known addict did AG Jerry Brown and the Medical Board not hit all of the doctors who prescribed to Jackson for the crime of prescribing to a known addict?

To back this up the Complaint goes on to allege; “On May 3, 2009, defendants Acres Home, Global, and Murray agreed with various entities involved in Michael Jackson’s world tour called “This Is It” to provide diagnosis, care, treatment, and medications to Michael Jackson. The Agreement provided defendants would utilize their medical facilities and their drug registrations with the Drug Enforcement Administration to prescribe medications to Michael Jackson in each state where the world tour might visit, including the States of Texas, Nevada, and California. Defendants agreed to provide treatments on a world-wide basis, including medications on a multi-state basis, and to transport such prescription medications through interstate commerce utilizing defendants’ Drug Enforcement Administration registration.” If this remains undisputed then don’t we have something MUCH BIGGER than the doctors for Anna Nicole Smith?

First thing up on this case is the time line of the day of Michael Jackson’s death which is quoted in Joe Jackson’s filing as follows:

On June 25, 2009, at 12:22 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department received a 911 call from Alberto Alvarez… …The Fire Department immediately responded to the 911 call. The paramedics arrived …within four (4) minutes at 12:26 p.m. They were at Michael Jackson’s bedside at 12:27 p.m. …At 12:29 p.m.; the paramedics began Jackson’s resuscitation. He had no pulse, blood pressure, respirations, or oxygen saturation reading, and his heart was in PEA (pulseless electrical activity) with no contractions. Michael Jackson’s condition remained unchanged throughout the resuscitation except that at 12:34 p.m., the PEA had ceased and his heart was in a systole (no heart beat). …The paramedics administered several cardiac stimulating drugs without effect. At 12:50 p.m., the paramedics contacted UCLA Medical Center, and described the absence of any life signs from Michael Jackson. Dr. Richelle Cooper, who was head of the UCLA Emergency Department, told the paramedics to consider terminating their resuscitation efforts. Defendant Murray stated to the paramedics he would be responsible for further resuscitation efforts. The paramedics placed Michael Jackson in the ambulance at 13:07 hours or 1:07 p.m., and the paramedics again attempted resuscitation without success. The ambulance arrived at UCLA Medical Center at 1:13 p.m. …at 13:15 hours or 1:15 p.m.; the paramedics brought Michael Jackson into the UCLA emergency room. …At 1:21 p.m., the nurses and physicians at UCLA detected a weak femoral pulse and cardiac activity for Michael Jackson. At 1:22 PM he showed cardiac activity. At 1:33 PM he showed a weak ventricular rhythm (contracting of the lower heart chambers). Dr. Cooper reported that when Michael Jackson was incubated with an endotrachial tube he had good breath sounds and “The initial cardiac rhythm appeared to be wide and slow in the 40s.” At 1:52 p.m. he had a pulse of 53 beats per minute, with a MAE complex (major arrhythmic event). At 2:05 PM the physicians inserted an intra aortic balloon pump (mechanical device placed in the aorta to assist blood flow) to attempt resuscitation and obtain circulation with a spontaneous heartbeat. The pump was placed in the aorta just above the heart, and his diastolic blood pressure (blood pressure between heart beats) went from 20 to approximately 40 at times and sometimes to 60 mmHg. Despite these efforts, Michael Jackson did not regain a spontaneous pulse or heartbeat. Following failure of the balloon pump to restore circulation, and the lack of a heart-beat, pulse, or spontaneous respirations, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. on June 25, 2009.

The complaint goes on to say while in the ER that day that; “[Jackson was] identified to UCLA personnel under the false name Soule Shaun. The emergency room attendants noted that while there was a cardiologist, defendant Murray, at the scene, defendant Murray provided no medical history. Dr. Richelle Cooper, the head of the UCLA Medical Center Emergency Department, spoke to defendant Murray. Defendant Murray told Dr. Cooper he had felt a pulse for Michael Jackson when he had discovered him not breathing. He stated he had administered only Lorazepam (Ativan), Diazepam (Valium), and Flomax. Murray said nothing about Propofol and nothing about Flumazenil (Romazicon), or the other drugs found in Michael Jackson’s body at his autopsy. …disregard for Michael Jackson’s life by concealing the Propofol and the “polypharmacy” Michael Jackson had received for months. Do WHAT????

Dr. Richelle Cooper’s written report dated June 26, 2009, stated:
“The initial limited history was provided by Dr. Murray, during the resuscitation of the patient, and is noted in brief on the medical record. By report of Dr. Murray the patient had been working long hours but had not been ill. There was no reported trauma or seizure activity preceding the arrest. The only reported medications reported for the patient were valium and flomax. There is no history of drug use by the patient as reported by Dr. Murray.” Murray told Dr. Cooper that Michael Jackson had not been ill. However, aside from Michael Jackson’s polypharmacy addiction illness, as discussed below regarding the Coroner’s Autopsy, Michael Jackson was suffering at [the time of] his death from co-morbidities, including anemia, chronic pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, and brain swelling.” Ah and this physician never picked up on these illnesses?

The day following Jackson’s death the house search by the police allegedly turned up: On June 26, 2009, the police searched the Carolwood house and seized eight (8) used bottles of Propofol (Diprivan), and later another three (3). They seized medications at Michael Jackson’s bedside, including Clonazepam (Klonopin), Benoquin (Monobenzone), Flomax (Tamsulosin Hydrocloride), Hydroquinone, Lidocaine (Xylocaine), Temazepam (Restoril), Tizanidine (Zanaflex), Trazodone (Desyrel), Flumazenil (Romazicon), Ephedrine (Ephedra), Prednisone, Amoxicillin, Azrithomycin, BQ/KA/RA (beniquin, kojic acid, retinoic acid); Lorazepam (Ativan), Midazolam (Versed) and Diazepam (Valium). Police also found in his house baggies of marijuana, Lantaprost Flush Solution, which is used to control glaucoma, a box of Nystatin, an antifungal drug used to treat yeast infections, and Triamcinolone, which is a topical steroid used to treat skin inflammation. The Clonazepam (Klonopin) and Trazodone (Desyrel) were prescribed to by Dr. Metzger. The Tizanidine (Zanaflex) was prescribed by Dr. Klein.

Then we skip to the conflicting statements of Dr. Conrad Murray, with the first one to the doctor and hospital as describe above and the second of many as outline here:

Murray told police on June 27, 2009, two (2) days later, he was afraid Michael Jackson was addicted to Propofol. He had a history of addiction, and defendant was trying to wean him off the drugs. Murray told police he gave 50 mg of Propofol diluted with an unspecified amount of Lidocaine (Xylocaine) by intravenous (I.V.) drip to Michael Jackson each night for six (6) weeks. He said he had been treating Michael Jackson for insomnia. The Propofol helped Michael Jackson sleep. Murray claimed he felt Michael Jackson may have been forming an addiction and therefore attempted to “wean” Michael Jackson off the drugs. His “weaning” process involved giving Michael Jackson on June 22, 2009, three (3) days before his death, 25 mg of Propofol, along with an unknown amount of Lorazepam (Ativan) and Midazolam (Versed). … [Murray] claimed Michael Jackson was able to sleep with these mixtures.

Murray claimed he arrived at the Carolwood house at 1:00 a.m. on June 25, 2009; Michael Jackson had been rehearsing at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles until after midnight. Before Michael Jackson left rehearsals defendant received a telephone call from Michael Jackson’s associates requesting he go to the Carolwood house to attend to Michael Jackson. …Michael Jackson complained of not feeling well, dehydration, and not being able to sleep. He said that at 1:30 a.m. he attempted to induce sleep by giving Michael Jackson a 10 mg tablet of Diazepam (Valium). Thirty (30) minutes later at 2:00 a.m. when Michael Jackson had not gone to sleep, [Murray] injected Michael Jackson with 2 mg Lorazepam (Ativan) after dilution with an unknown substance, and administered the drugs by I.V. At 3:00 a.m. defendant Murray administered 2 mg of Midazolam (Versed) I.V. after dilution with an unknown substance At 5:00 a.m. Michael Jackson remained awake, and Murray stated he administered another 2 mg of Lorazepam (Ativan) I.V. after dilution with an unknown substance. [Murray] claimed Michael Jackson remained awake for the next two and a half (2 ½) hours. At 7:30 a.m. Murray administered another 2 mg of Midazolam (Versed) I.V. after dilution with an unknown substance. Defendant claimed he was continuously at Michael Jackson’s bedside and was monitoring him with a pulse oximeter. However, when police searched the house, they found the pulse oximeter in the closet in the next room. 40. At 10:40 a.m. defendant claimed he administered 25 mg of Propofol (Diprivan) diluted with Lidocaine (Xylocaine), through an I.V. drip. …Michael Jackson finally went to sleep. After approximately 10 minutes, Murray stated he left Michael Jackson’s bedside to go to the restroom to relieve himself. He claimed he was out of the room for approximately two (2) minutes until 10:52 a.m.

This is the end of part 1, part 2 of this will be up tomorrow as we delve into the conflicting statements of Dr. Conrad Murray in regards to his patient Michael Jackson dying on Murray’s watch and the alleged subsequent cover up.

I have one BIG QUESTION here; did Nancy Grace show that huge fish bowl of color gum balls she showed in regards to Anna Nicole Smith to let the public have a “visual” of how many prescriptions drugs Jackson took between Dec. 2008 and his death on June 25, 2010?

(AP) – LOS ANGELES — “A witness in the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy trial has recanted statements critical of the former model’s lawyer-boyfriend Howard K. Stern, a defendant in the case.

Ford Shelley testified Friday in Los Angeles that he never saw Smith abuse drugs, never saw Stern force medication on her, and believes Stern shouldn’t be on trial.”

WHAT???? “Recant“…These jerks! Oh sure, go right ahead and make false testimony and how about this? Much of what this crew from “Hooterville” did in fact caused huge damage to Howard K. Stern’s reputation and health, beyond huge… No I am not saying there is not a story here, quite to the contrary, there is a huge and fascinating story (Kris and I were going to write one hell of a tell-all at one time). But LYING TO THE STATE AGENTS and to the POLICE? That was once upon time an arrestable offense, PERJURY, MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS TO POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS! And what has this done to Jerry Brown’s career…

Folks what I am about to say is strong and it needs to be said, the agents and police these people lied to should go back and arrest them. This is the problem, people go and lie to the cops and nothing happens to them. And in doing so make the agents and the entire system look like fools, raids and all that silly stuff! …however, there has to be evidence and most of all the truth. Now here is another great question, will Howard K. Stern go after these rich bumpkins for damages?

Ford Shelley, aka Edsel, what were you thinking to get yourself caught up in this? LOL …A good woman trying to help” in reference to Eroshevich…did anyone one see Jesus in that courtroom? Rainbows, white lights, humming or chanting? She is a good woman, just made a few errors of judgment and so what at that… …Eroshevich is a free spirit and smart…

Once again, I have to thank my friend, Linda Deutsch for these wonderful excerpts from the courtroom in Los Angeles. We are doing a Willie Nelson…”On the Road Again”…

After turning down Feel Good California Attorney General Jerry Brown’s, via his deputy attorney general on December 11, 2009 and denying the suspension of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich license Judge David Wesley gave Brown and his people a week to file a Motion and then Argue to the court on December 18, 2009.

Judge David Wesley said on December 11, 2009 that if the Medical Board was via the Attorney General office was concerned with the doctors’ practices, the Medical Board could apply for an order to monitor them.

Thus Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III, who reports directly to Brown, spent another week doing a Motion to monitor the two doctors and appeared yesterday to argue again.

Superior Court Judge David Wesley was not impressed with Jones’ second go around with a new Motion. Judge Wesley listened to Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III argument about why it would be in the public interest to now monitor the doctors. Judge Wesley read the newest Motion and listened to Jones’ “fresh arguments”; a couple of court room watchers said that Judge Wesley could be seen becoming agitated as Jones’ listed all of the reasons. Someone who has seen Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III in action before, said Jones is everything you don’t want a lawyer to be. He does not know how to give a presentation in court and he cannot keep his voice level, not a good face for the Attorney General’s office.

Not only did Judge Wesley deny the newest motion but decided to give Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III a few tips on how to prepare a Motion for presentation in his court. First the Motion was ill written and so was the argument before the court, also Judge Wesley pointed out that the Motion had “Typos” in it. The judge admonished Jones again for the second straight week, sending him packing to update his boss, AG Feel Good Brown

Feel Good Brown needed this to pass because he needs some face time with a press conference, although Brown commanded a huge lead for governor since the summer, he is now slipping in the polls. Add to that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger continues to slash jobs and money from the state’s budget to keep California afloat. Recently there was almost $393 million dollars for the Los Angeles County Courts and included one day a month that all employees take a day off without pay. Which leads me to the question, with all of those people employed is Brown’s office hiring the best in public service? He might think of redoing his office to get some proof reader to assure the embarrassment of Friday does not happen again.

This many high profile names in the headlines yesterday just from California is a good day for tabloid news, well except for Feel Good AG Jerry Brown of California. It almost appeared as the gubernatorial race is gearing up for 2010 Jerry Brown wanted some reason to give a press conference. Hey Mr. Brown, why Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khistine Eroshevich, you have a bag full of press time and face time if you would just discuss the case that is over shadowing the news media locally, nationally and internationally, remember Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad Murray? The two doctors currently in court were doctors who main crime appears to be is being struck by the celebrity of their patient Anna Nicole Smith; thus involving a celebrity patient, Anna Nicole Smith, accidental death from prescription medication. On the other hand the Michael Jackson and Dr. Murray, involved a dangerous anesthesia, Propofol, IV poles and with a warning that a doctor is never suppose to give this powerful and potential lethal mediation except in the strict confines of a hospital under supervision with a crash cart nearby because it can kill your patient.

Dr. Perper ruled in Florida, that Anna Nicole Smith’s death was an accidental combination of prescriptions, with neither doctor that now faces a trial even present on her day of death. Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide and that occurred in the state where feel good AG Jerry Brown, had jurisdiction over the corpse of Michael Jackson, you know he died in your state; jurisdiction over the dangerous Propofol anesthesia, equipped with IV poles, and a giant warning on it’s label of “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME; and to make all of this a tidy backdrop for a picture perfect AG Jerry Brown to have a soapbox news conference. Brown has jurisdiction over all of the people, the celebrity death and the anesthesia and you have the physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, and yet Brown claims, if infotainment news is to be believed that Brown is laying low on the Jackson investigation, WHY?? Is that an admission that the Kapoor – Eroshevich investigation was botched by your office? Now that is not going to look good for an eighty year old “wanna be governor” who is setting his stars on the Smith death to gain the governorship of California just one more time. If you live in California would you want Brown in charge of your money and saving your state from total meltdown financially?

However, Brown not to be deterred sent his assistant attorney general; the one that would take over Brown’s job if at eighty Brown became sick while serving as the Attorney General of California. From the accounts inside the court room that poor man got his arse handed to him with a strong lecture, you have to wonder if this guy was worried that his boss, Brown was not going to get that face time Brown was hoping for. However, if Brown wants face time and plenty of it as the election year rolls around, my advice try concentrating on the Michael Jackson homicide, doesn’t his three small children deserve any less from the man who would spearhead any charges connected to their daddy’s murder/homicide?

Following sending Brown’s representative by to Brown’s office some strong directed words, only as Judge Wesley could do Brown’s guy was sent backing.

After the hearing, Eroshevich’s attorney, Adam Braun, told the media that; “There’s simply no basis to prevent her from practicing medicine at this point.”[This case] is related to a single patient and on its face, it’s laughable that she would [be deemed] an imminent threat to the public.”

Judge Wesley sat a “boring” Motion and how to interview those pesky people who stole a few things from Anna Nicole Smith and as one source who knows Ford Shelley said; he is strutting like a peacock saying he is the KEY witness in sending Howard K. Stern and the two doctors to prison. Well that is unless Shelley is indicted before he appears on some pesky federal charges for paying an FIDC bank loan off with a forged rental agreement which was not worth the papers Ford Shelley wrote it on. Shelley might just graduate from a no body to a high profile person in a way he does not want. Once source told us because of Shelley handling the family business in such a shell game stunt it has ripped the family apart and that Gina, Ford Shelley’s wife, has to do nails and hair to try to keep her husband afloat. I guess without Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate’s belongings to auction off for a flow of cash, Shelley is finding himself a tad broke, and minus family support. Wonder if this will be a wonderful holiday season for Shelley? Will the Thompson family invite him over for dinner, I am told don’t hold your breath and if you are going to make a bet, it would be that Shelley will be left out in the cold.

Back to the California criminal trial, Judge Wesley has set one “housekeeping” Motions, discovery, handing over more evidence to the defense etc. for Friday, December 18 and a tentative trial date of February 5, 2010. However, Steve Sadow, the lead attorney for Stern told the waiting press that because of Motions to be filed and the schedule of the Court his client’s trial might postpone until sometime in the summer of 2010.

I wonder if that will be enough time for Brown to decide to get the microphones ready for a series of news conferences to trout out the Jackson homicide for his gubernatorial campaign.

A court watcher media person told us from yesterday’s hearing that Stern looked more self assured, even with a tad of arrogance. My thoughts on that is I would be willing to bet if he has extra money these days jingling in his pocket and room to take a deep sigh these days that would be courtesy of Rita Cosby, although everyone is keeping mum about that to be sure something like the O’Quinn settlement from appearing on those pesky gossip sites, like “T”.

With a head line like that you can just imagine where this article is going.

I woke up this morning to a bunch of B. S. in my in box and was sure this was a surreal Trick or Treat Halloween prank and a pretty good one I thought. That is until I realized it was REAL and then the anger and feeling sick began to settle in.

We have Rita Cosby’s good friend, James Edstrom, writing on his “gossip site” today that at a party or nightclub he was at in December 2007 that O’Quinn was, “Two Sheets to the Wind”. We are please to say because of a tad of nudging by Rose Speaks.com, Edstrom cleaned up his article and gave Mr. O’Quinn the credit he deserved and took away the New York style of bragging when you really can’t remember for sure what happened.

The Houston Chronicle is now reporting that John O’Quinn was driving at a high rate of speed when his SUV became airborne and impaled on a t tree killing O’Quinn and Johnny Cutliff instantly. The Houston Police Department has turned the investigation over to it’s “Vehicle Crimes” department for a thorough investigation. That department said although the road was slightly wet it would not have caused the type of accident that killed O’Quinn and Johnny Cutliff unless O’Quinn had been traveling at a high rate of speed. They have recovered John O’Quinn’s cell phone from the wreckage and with that and the black box from the SUV they hope to have some answers next week. It will take several weeks to get the toxicology reports back, but police said it did not appear that any medication etc. was involved in the fatal crash. Which brings up a question I have. We have all heard the stories of a police officer placing a speeding ticket in the pocket of a speeder killed in a vehicle accident, could a posthumous charge apply to O’Quinn for the death of Johnny Cutliff? Mr. O’Quinn’s funeral will be on November 4, 2009 at 11 AM at the Second Baptist Church in Houston with a showing open to the public from 4PM to 8 PM on November 3. We do not have the funeral arrangements yet for Mr Cutliff but as soon as we do we will list it here for those of his friends whom have asked us to keep them updated.

With John O’Quinn now dead the fear of Houston publications being sued by this giant of a man literally and figuratively. They appear to be beginning understanding that and so slowly they are printing “their truth” about O’Quinn. Some if it includes that; “The death of John O’Quinn in a single-car vehicle crash abruptly and prematurely ended the saga of a man as big and brash and full of contradictions as his native city.” The Houston Chronicle article went on to say in part; “Like Houston — a brilliant, rambunctious city that sometimes seems to have a chip on its shoulder — the 68-year-old, 6-foot-4 O’Quinn combined great achievement, wealth and generosity with a gnawing insecurity. In this brilliant, rambunctious lawyer’s case, it took the form of alcohol abuse and a tendency to push his practice of law beyond his acknowledged courtroom brilliance to the ethical boundaries of the profession.”

“…O’Quinn was demonized by tort reform advocates as a symbol of frivolous lawsuits and outrageously large damage awards. … O’Quinn established himself as a premier plaintiff’s lawyer in a city renowned for its legal giants. Yet he rarely seemed at peace with that status, trying to fill a void that money and fame could not reach. In recent years, O’Quinn’s friends say he found a measure of contentment and stability. Even so, it’s hard to imagine this most dynamic of Houstonians ever wanting to rest in peace.” Many in Texas say that John O’Quinn almost single handed was the motivation for tort reform in Texas and thus Texas is now a safe haven for doctors to practice and not have to pay a fortune for malpractice insurance.

Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole Smith’s estranged mother, will be making her first public interview since the Inquest into Daniel Smith’s death in 2008. Ms. Arthur has returned to a trusted allied in Geraldo Rivera to do the interview. It is ironic the interview will on Halloween night, kind of fits Geraldo’s bizarre sensationalism. Ms. Arthur is expected to talk about her personal loss with John O’Quinn’s death. Knowing Geraldo though I am willing to bet the conversation will cross over to her enemy Howard K. Stern being bound over for trial in California with two of Smith’s doctors, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich with the third arraignment of the three scheduled for December 11. Surely as a “lawyer” (cough – cough) Gerlado knew this was to be expected and is no real win which equals high fives for his participation in this “alleged” lynching. So be sure and set your clocks for Geraldo, have a glass of red wine and see how Geraldo turns all of this into sensational infotainment for the All Mighty Dollar, [advertising revenue]. Does Geraldo, you think, ever feel any shame or is the nature of infotainment is those who bring in the advertising dollars get to keep their much lusted after shows?

Then there is Harvey Levin, the Jewish gay lawyer/journalist that has made internet sensationalism via his celebrity gossip blog into a way to bring in tons of money via advertising. Are we seeing a picture emerge here that involved infotainment and dollar signs? There are plenty of allegations around Hollyweird, we have learned, that Levin, if our source is correct and the allegations are true, also shares one thing with Anna Nicole Smith – an addiction to Methadone. Isn’t he just a tad afraid that feel good Jerry Brown might hone in on him next?

Levin, since Anna Nicole Smith’s death, has hardly held back his personal disdain for Howard K. Stern while showing favor in positive articles for his “good friend”, Larry Birkhead. Levin and his staff have allowed, since 2007, many – many posts of anti-Semitism and right down hate for Stern to flourish uncontrolled on TMZ.com and often fed by Harvey Levin via TMZ.com.

The sickest example of this lust for that all mighty advertising dollar, is the horrid reference to the now infamous Anna Nicole Smith’s clown video that has been released in public discovery in both the New York defamation suit of Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby but also as of yesterday the California criminal proceedings.

If one is to believe what Harvey Levin appears to be alleging about Anna Nicole Smith in her ninth month of pregnancy, then we must assume Levin is implying that Dannielynn Birkhead was born suffering from the effects of multiple drug addictions. Now how is Levin going to explain that one to his good friend Larry Birkhead? Perhaps the free face time and positive press he has always lavish on Birkhead will be enough for Birkhead to forgive what Levin appears to saying in his most recent allegations involving the infamous clown tape and Howard K. Stern.

I bet this morning or yesterday, Levin was beating himself up for not buying that tape himself at the time he bought the photos of the refrigerator from the Bahamas home known as Horizons; the infamous unfilled fax for medication from Dr. Eroshevich to Dr. Kapoor just days after Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole’s son, died. Then of course there are those continuous changing and selling of affidavits by the nannies which neither the National Inquirer or Birkhead found to be believable but Levin bought them right up for publication on TMZ. Do you feel sorry that Levin let the infamous clown video slip through his greedy hands?

Harvey have you not been watching the preliminary hearing and the sharpness of Stern’s criminal attorney Steve Sadow? My bet is you ain’t seen nothing yet, and get some new news not the recycle bull shit appearing on your web celebrity slamming blog site. You like all of us knew Stern and the two doctors would be bound over for trial, so why the cheap shots by you? Oh yea I forgot that constant chase for the illusive advertising dollars in a shaky economy.

Finally we have Lin Wood playing with Georgia Attorney Susan M. Brown a frustrating game for him called “where are the hard drives”.

In the latest filings in the South Carolina federal court the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith is asking for contempt charges and sanctions against G. Ben Thompson and his “former” attorney, Susan M. Brown.

In more of the excerpt of Brown’s deposition released with the October 29 filing, you have to wonder where Brown got her law license. Now to think that Wood made a comment about Texas lawyers lacking ethics, I bet he is feeling a Georgia lawyer is also a tad shy of ethics today.

As you read the excerpt with again some pages redacted, at the end do you have any clear idea of “where are the hard drives”?

I came away scratching my head after seeing so many attorneys in the deposition of Susan M. Brown in person and by phone distancing themselves from Brown in what has to be an old time record of “we don’t have them, do you”, behavior, of “where’s the hard drives”.

What does happen to an attorney if it is proven that she did commit a crime of fraud as the Memorandum from the Georgia Court ordering her to appear for a deposition states and proves to be true?

There is the Motion for Contempt, the Memorandum of Law in support of the contempt and sanctions, new exhibits to read, some old exhibits referred to and the excerpt of Lin Wood trying to pin a room full of lawyer down to “Where are the hard drives” in a game which is funny and sad at the same time.

Ah the continued entwining of all things Anna Nichol Smith and the money and publicity she has continued to earn in death. Do you think the Georgia attorney, Susan M. Brown is being investigated for ethics violations in Georgia as well as the charges she faces in South Carolina?

Ms. Brown as does Gaither Thompson II, Gina Thompson Shelley and Melody Thompson have to file their answers by November 16 after being added to the lawsuit in place of a few Doe names. We also have a far more serious filing from Brown due on November 16, the Contempt of Court and Request for Sanctions against both her and her previous, or is she still his current lawyer, G. Ben Thompson. Ah to be a fly on the wall when that hearing finally takes place.

Is Anna Nicole Smith more famous in death then she ever was in life? Has her death created a new piranha feeding frenzy not seen before in the land of gossip and infotainment?

I’ll get back with all of you after I force myself to watch Geraldo, I really don’t like the guy. I wonder how Virgie Arthur looks after being out of the lime light for the last 18 months.

We will have all of the latest documents listed by date and court here today. Check back and remember that the downloads are opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

As we wait for the papers, or at least the Order unsealing the papers in New York, a solid source contacted me about all of this, a source who had contacted one of the people facing a Preliminary hearing legal team and whom they felt was very rude to this person.

This sounds like the old song for some reason “Leroy Brown”, dunno why it just does.

As we await all of the papers today, why would Tom Bednarek not want anyone to know he had the “ear” of AG Jerry Brown? It could not possibly have to do with Rita Cosby?

Why did Bednarek tell this source from 2005 to the spring of 2009, I can help and did in fact help? Why would Rita Cosby need Bednarek to call in a “favor” from his old at least has the ear of “AG soon to be gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown? Why would helping this source/friend with Brown hurt the Howard K. Stern prosecution?

Why tell someone you had been working with that as this source said to Bednarek in an email, “I told him that you know Attorney General Jerry Brown so you may get a phone call.” In another email just two months before the indictments this source wrote to Bednarek, “I want to thank you for helping, [name omitted], by contacting Attorney General Jerry Brown.” Why in an email did he request this source to always refer to Rita Cosby as “R” saying, “Would appreciate it if from now on… in all of our correspondence…? THAT we only refer to one another ONLY as K and T… AND my gal as R… Okay?! This IS very important…” In another email Tom Bednarek said in part, “Again, should you ever want to discuss this with me, we can certainly do so, so long as it is CAREFUL HANDLED over the TELEPHONE.” In yet another email about offering help he stated; “Additionally, other than “Tom” … there will be no need to include my name within any letter you enclose. He will be aware of the package…”

In another email about the pillow talk while Rita Cosby was fast hammering out her future best selling book and shopping it around why did Tom Bednarek wanted to brag about his closeness to Cosby and exactly how close that pillow talk is as he states; “Although she is heavily committed on a number of major initiatives at this time, she is always very interested to learn more about a story such as this… I know… we’ve been together for well over seven years now, and I know her heart. She would be a phenominal ally to have, BUT I can tell you first hand… that she is extremely engaged right now… and has a number of prior works she is deeply involved with. On the other hand … she is an amazing “multi-tasker!!! HA! But seriously, as mentioned, I will see what either she can do to help AND get this into the right hands for you.”

Finally just less than two WEEKS after the indictment of Stern Bednarek called this source and said “I can’t help you with AG Jerry Brown, and please don’t contact me again”. Following that was the last email exchange of four years of working together on ONE project with Bednarek and Cosby:

“Hello Tomaczek, It’s sad you decided not to keep in touch with me after you told me you would send the documents I sent you … to Jerry Brown. It’s been 8 months since …I’m asking you again to send the information I sent you and Rita …to Jerry Brown. I remember you telling me that you had a direct phone number for him. I can’t understand how you think sending this information could hurt the Stern case. You reasoning just doesn’t make sense to me. Thank you,”

Yea Tom why would helping with the ear of “feel good AG Jerry Brown” hurt the pending Stern case? Did you use up all of your “favors” keeping “R” or Rita Cosby as most of us know and call her by out of the deep fat frying pan? Why did you and Cosby want to make sure the indictment was announced before the Summary Judgment was ruled on in New York? How long had you been sharing pillow talk with “R”, [Rita Cosby], with AG Jerry Brown?

All good questions I think, what about ya’ll? My source has snail mailed me a ton of information on this project that we will begin to explore in the new year in greater detail right before the gubernatorial candidates, including Brown, began their major fund raising? By the way the “project” that is discussed with promises to help by Tom Bednarek is about a non-profit foundation of which there are allegation of “money for favors”, isn’t Brown in charge of those? Could AG Jerry Brown’s friend Bednarek with over four years of documentation sink feel good Brown’s bid for that brass ring called the governorship? A brass ring that Brown wants so badly in what some say is a hope for the blissfulness and power he once held as the prince and the rising star in the Democratic Party way, way back in the 70’s as a young “cool feel good” Brown.

I have told my source to print out the hard copies of all of the documentation and send them to me, put them in a bank vault and at least in two other people’s hands so Bednarek cannot undo the damage to his beloved “R”, known to us as Rita Cosby.

Tom, Tom, Tom, you tried so hard to not leave much of a paper trail in all of this, but in trying it rings of nanny gate in my ears.

We will be bringing you more of what this source has to say, including the way they were treated by one of the legal teams of one of the people facing the preliminary hearings in October of this year.

Now for today, we await the Court’s Order releasing the papers, could “exhibit J” be Bednarek deposition about nanny gate? Who knows only the unsealing of all of these promising delicious documents will tell us.

To keep up with the papers to be unsealed keep this list handy, and remember ALL of Howard K. Stern’s deposition and all of Rita Cosby’s deposition is included in the documents. I don’t know about all of you but I await the release with excitement that a lot of the pieces will begin to make more sense and like a haze in the morning light will become the bright sun of daylight and the telling of all of those secrets, including pillow talk of nanny gate.

We will be linking the below list with documents as those doucuments are released by Court Order.
