Dr Murray found guilty in the death of Michael Jackson and Judge Pastor was quick to revoke bail and remand Dr. Conrad Murray to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department pending sentencing on Nov. 29, 2011.
The only surprising thing today was the remanding and revoking bail. We all thought Murray would be convicted. John has said on many shows this was like musical chairs and when the music stopped Murray was left standing with the Propoful bottle in his hand.
Murray barely had time to look back at his mother and girlfriend before being taken into custody and whisk out of the court room.
Straight Talk with John J Nazarian guest tonight is Criminal Defense attorney Adam Braun, who has been both a prosecutor and now one of the top criminal attorneys in California. Braun will answer questions of what now? Over crowding in the jails, why the revoking of bail? Can the defense appeal based on Dr. Klein never appeared in trial which was a major set back most say to Murray? Will Murray get house arrest or a retreat like Ryan Bowman did for involuntary manslaughter in the Lauren Freeman case, at camp Seal on the California coast line.
Adam Braun is one of the best criminal defense lawyers in California. Braun is the Principal at Law Offices of Adam H. Braun and was a Federal Prosecutor at the United States Attorney’s Office for over 6 years. The Princeton University graduate represented Dr. Khristine Eroshevich during the lead up to the Anna Nicole Smith trial. Braun was the attorney for one of Anthony Pelicanno’s co-defendants.
In other bizarre interviews we have Dr. Arnold Klein on what looks like his golden throne.
“Dr. Arnold Klein said he personally tried several times to prevent other doctors from administering propofol to Jackson for sleep. “I knew this problem existed,” Klein said in the interview. “I did my best to prevent it. Whenever I could, I prevented it, but I’m only one man and I have to support my own life and take care of myself.”
Klein disputed the argument by Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyers that he addicted Jackson to Demerol in the months before his death, saying he used only low doses of the painkiller while repairing Jackson’s collapsed nose and jaw line.
Klein described three instances in which he said he was involved in interventions to prevent Jackson from getting propofol, the surgical anesthetic the coroner ruled killed him, although Klein gave no indication of when the incidents occurred.
In the first instance, Klein said he chartered a plane to Las Vegas when he heard Jackson was getting propofol at a hotel where the singer was staying. Klein claimed he threw out the doctor involved to prevent him from giving Jackson the drug. In another encounter in Hawaii, Klein said he and his nurse slept on the floor of Jackson’s room to prevent him from getting propofol from a plastic surgeon.
Klein claimed he once “saved” Jackson in New York when another doctor administered propofol, combined with another drug. It made Jackson go “running down the street,” Klein said. Klein, interviewed in his Beverly Hills home, said that while it was too upsetting to him to watch much of the trial, he watched enough to believe Murray wanted to “make me look like a demon” and “make me as a scapegoat.”
Klein said he began the slow and painful process of rebuilding some of Jackson’s facial skin in early April after his nose collapsed and after he lost his jaw line.

Several months ago I was made aware of a television story that was being produced for 48 HOURS on CBS. A story that involved a few people that I knew. The piece finally made it to the air on February 19 and was titled “48 Hours Mystery: Playing with Fire.” How often do I know the players in major news stories happening around the world? Way more often than I would like to admit.
“Playing with Fire” was produced by Greg Fisher and two others, Chris and Ira. Greg Fisher and I have had lunch and breakfast and lunch again, I believe, in reference to this story as well as another project. …Here was one of my very good friends, Detective William Cox, a very good acquaintance that I have a great deal of respect for, Andrew Blankstein of the Los Angeles Times, and of course Michele Braun, formerly of “Nici’s Girls.” I met Ms. Braun during the good ol’ days and met with her during what was perhaps one of the worst times in her life.
Note: Michele [Braun] was charged in 2009 by the feds with Money Laundering and Prostitution. What made this all the more interesting was that she paid taxes all those years and still got bagged. It makes one wonder how she came to the attention of the government. An even better question: has the cloud totally moved on? Or are there still some thunderstorms brewing? Sometimes, when you escape a nuclear warhead with your hair intact, you may want to go and play dead for several years. Michele looked great and you could tell she was excited to be telling “her” story. Michele always has a purpose in everything she does. And if a book ever comes out, I am buying a copy. Seeing Ms. Braun blabbing away, I was reminded of the story of the bull sleeping and leaving it alone, let it sleep.
Back to the best parts of the show, can you imagine how bad Sandy Bentley must have felt for this story to air for the entire world to see and hear? Hell, she makes Paris Hilton look like a candidate for sainthood. One thought I had watching Sandy Bentley drive away in her Chevrolet in what looked like a part of the San Fernando Valley, the worm has turned, well at least a little. Hell even her boyfriend Michael Tardio was found shot to death and burning in a Mercedes, how Hollywood is that? Sandy Bentley’s unwillingness to cooperate with the cops was also interesting and very Hollywood, “protect your own ass no matter who is smoldering in the ruins.” When you run around with the rich and famous you learn that lesson real quick, you are disposable…
…Re: Ms. Linda Kim, did anyone else out there feel funny about watching and listening to this one? “International arms dealer” who almost toppled the entire South Korean government. And she did one of the best “dumb and dumber” routines I have ever seen in years. Ms. Kim mentions “very special jewelry,“ but she states she sent Tardio on his way. However, she takes another meeting with Tardio, hours before his murder…”bad energy“ in Kim’s words. Just watch that segment with Ms. Kim and listen closely! Enough about her, I am not buying her or her story
Having worked and looked into cases all over the world and most recently a murder case in Paris, France there is one person I would not want…
…If Detective Bill Cox had not retired, this case would have been solved and from what I am hearing that dam worm is turning again. And not just for the individual(s) who shot and killed Michael Tardio and Christopher Monson…
One person involved in all this lunacy that I sorta liked was Mark Yagalla, he came across as a guy just trying to…
Yagalla paid $50,000 a night to bang a pretty woman… Another great quote was when Ms. Braun was asked about the “love” factor between Mark Yagalla and Sandy “I smell something burning” Bentley. …However, if Michael had never met Sandy Bentley he would more likely be alive today as would his best friend, Christopher Monson…
…One thing that caught my attention was that there were no “officials” on this show or for that matter on the record. Folks, it is that silence that I am telling you is not good for a few people involved in this story. Time is always on the side of the good guys.
I know better than most how frustrating this has to be to sit and wait for the system to work. The killing of people in Los Angeles, it would seem, is a lot easier than you would think. We are watching the system at work in the case of Mike Yepremyan who was murdered with five witnesses and the cops cannot seem to put a lid on it, or in the case of Lauren Ann Freeman and the guy who hit her with his Bentley and left her to die on Sunset Blvd…Bentleys can be deadly.
Congratulations to Bill Cox, Andrew Blankstein and Greg Fisher for getting this murder case to the attention of the public. Please give Detective Cox the “one little lead” if you have it: Los Angeles Police Department 1-877-527-3247
There are a lot more of John J. Nazarain’s thoughts on this double murder so be sure to visit Desperate Exes.com to read the rest. While there read the article about John J. Nazarain being deposed by Gary Fishbein and Lisa H. Meyer, nice! The rent-a-judge, Judge Richard Denner; I think that was one of about four times in the last four years that someone wanted to know how much control of Rose Speaks.com and/or owned part of Rose Speaks.com has come up via emails to us. Go figure, when John is a guest author even the site owners can feel a tad of heat.

Don’t believe that the criminal justice system is broken? Just visit the criminal courts, well at least the one in Beverly Hills. Ryan Bowman, the scumbag from down under was in Judge Fox’s courtroom yesterday were he plead “Not Guilty” to felony hit and run, a charge that had already been reduced from manslaughter after he ran over 21-year-old Lauren Ann Freeman with his Bentley and fled the scene, leaving her to die on Sunset Blvd., back on Nov. 15. ….He was dressed in a dark suit with a white shirt opened at the collar, very slickly casual for a guy who runs a girl down killing her and leaves her in his wake to die.
…Sitting in the front row of the courtroom all alone were Lauren’s mom and dad, the loss and devastation is clearly still on their faces. I could feel the pain and desperation just by being close to them. But the feeling of what a failure this city’s/state’s justice system is was about to kick in even further: it was mentioned that Ryan Bowman, the killer of Lauren Ann Freeman, was going to be given F’n PROBATION! Could that be? And worse, the Los Angeles County Probation Department never spoke to either of her parents for their thoughts of the killing of their only daughter. The Los Angeles County Probation Department stated on the form, they were “unable to contact family!” …I have a client whose son spray painted some graffiti and is in custody with a $30,000 bail…I am beginning to hate this entire system.
Adam Braun, one of California’s most brilliant defense attorneys, was in court this morning and when he saw me he came over and we talked about the travesty of justice that we had just witnessed. Adam was clear that if this District Attorney could not get it,… …that perhaps forcing the case to go to the Grand Jury would add some spark to a system that was failing all of us as we watched….
…..The next hearing for The Scum from down under is February 25, 2011. Let’s hope those morons at The Los Angeles Probation Department can get it right. Well we can hope can’t we?

Australian reporter Eamonn Duff has a great artcle that will be in the Sunday edition of The Sun-Herald Here are some of the key parts I found fascinating.
DRIVING along Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard in a Bentley, Ryan Bowman was revelling in his new-found multimillionaire status.
Several weeks earlier the Australian entrepreneur had sold his mobile phone marketing firm, mConnect, for $8 million.
Having relocated to Los Angeles after his success as Australian distributor of US soft porn franchise Girls Gone Wild, he probably thought life couldn’t get much better. In hindsight, it would never be the same again.
A life cut short … Lauren Ann Freeman.
….The fashion design graduate was thrown 15 metres and died on the roadside – not that Mr Bowman knew that. He fled the scene and abandoned his vehicle, which was discovered several hours later, 2.5 kilometres away with the engine still running.
Police believe alcohol may have been a factor but whether they can confirm that is unclear. The 34-year-old Canberra Grammar School old boy did not turn himself in to police until 4pm the next day…
…The Sun-Herald discovered the Australian lying low at a Venice Beach hideaway, having enlisted celebrity lawyer Blair Berk to defend him.
In turn, Ms Freeman’s parents, Donna and Steve, have hired private detective John Nazarian, a former California cop, to uncover possible skeletons in Mr Bowman’s closet.
Mr Nazarian dubbed Mr Bowman an ”arrogant scumbag”.
”I, personally, have taken more care after hitting a squirrel than what this guy did [with Lauren],” he said. ”There’s no excuses. I don’t care how you cross the t’s or dot the i’s. The appropriate thing would have been to stop and make sure this girl was as comfortable as possible in her last minutes, her last breaths.”
A Sun-Herald investigation has found that Mr Bowman was living a roller-coaster existence long before the crash. In 2007 his Sydney company Zeal Entertainment bought the Australian rights to Girls Gone Wild – a US adult entertainment company that peddles soft-porn movies featuring inebriated girls engaging in sex acts.
…In 2006 he and business partner Rob Hoath launched mobile phone services company mConnect. The company has become a global success, distributing content to carriers including Foxtel, Vodaphone and Orange in more than 30 countries.
After months of negotiations, Mr Hoath and Mr Bowman recently landed their biggest contract to date – with Spanish football giants Real Madrid. The agreement makes mConnect the official developer of the club’s worldwide mobile application services, featuring star players such as Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, while the deal was being assembled, Mr Bowman was juggling a major mess in South Africa – where mConnect was being prosecuted by a wireless regulatory watchdog over a Girls Gone Wild phone application that between February and May extracted money from mobile customers without consent…
…Despite that episode, mConnect attracted an $8 million takeover bid from surgical technology firm Medic Vision.
Mr Hoath would not speak last week but Medic Vision executive chairman Jitto Arulampalam said the controversy in South Africa and Mr Bowman’s problems in Los Angeles were unlikely to jeopardise the deal.
”There will be a resolution at our AGM for shareholders to approve that transaction and to date I have received nothing but positive feedback,” Mr Arulampalam said.
In Los Angeles a sheriff’s office spokesman said a heavier charge could be laid in January when blood test results had returned and Mr Bowman was due back in court…
…A Girls Gone Wild spokesman said all ties had been cut with Mr Bowman ”nearly a year ago”.
We will be keeping up with both Nazarian and Eamonn Duff’s coverage of this horrible “accident”. However, my first thought on this is why would anyone abandon an expensive Bentley in Hollywood with the motor still running? Perhaps Bowman thought it would be stolen giving him the perfect alibi?
We have Heath in Australia and will be asking her to keep close tabs for us on this horrendous crime as well as other ones coming out of Australia in the coming weeks.
Then there is the Honeymoon Killer, Gabe Watson and a question of why doesn’t double jeopardy apply to Watson and the continuing downward spiral of the U. S. Criminal Justice system.
An Article about Gabe Watson and what is going on in Alabama with that fiasco as well as my Sunday Political Op-Ed will be up tomorrow, Watson’s predicament might be up tonight with my thoughts on the WTH is going on with the U. S. Justice system, and the have and have nots and the manner each is treated.

November 11, 2010, just before midnight will forever be in the hearts and on the minds of Mr. & Mrs. Freeman. Their daughter Lauren Ann Freeman, just 21 years old, was hailing a taxi at that moment. After all, when it came to being responsible, Lauren Ann Freeman could very well have been the role model for …“Responsible,” it was her mantra, and why not, a great daughter, super sister and all round great kid, graduated high school and just this June had fulfilled her dream of graduating from FIDM, Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing…girl was on her way!
Her dreams came crashing down around her as she left The Roxy on Sunset Boulevard, here in Los Angeles. …I will even go so far as to say a potential super star.
It was during that hailing of the taxi as she led a group off the sidewalk — and within a CROSSWALK — her life was taken by what many believe was a drunk driver from Australia, Mr. Ryan Mathew Bowman, 34 years old, born June 30, 1976, this taken from a public record called the booking sheet from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department
…It was while she was well onto Sunset Boulevard in a cross walk going to her taxi that had stopped a short distance away that Mr. Bowman, driving his nice new shiny Bentley, hit Lauren Ann Freeman, throwing her some say 50, others say 100 feet. Mr. Ryan Mathew Bowman’s only concern as far as this writer is concerned was to keep going and fast! Why do I say that? There were no skid marks, no braking zilch, nada…all that was left in his trail was Lauren’s lifeless body laying on Sunset Boulevard, and wreckage from the Bentley which was abandoned not far from the scene. I have shown more compassion for a squirrel that I accidentally hit than this piece of human waste showed for this poor girl. Bowman would eventually turn himself in to the Sheriffs Department, of course many hours after killing Lauren Ann Freeman…way to go you arrogant scum bag!
…bail… $50,000 for hitting and killing a human being and fleeing the scene! Down from the $2,000,000, how is this possible? Once again, as I have said before in the Mike Yepremyan murder, I have to believe in this system that I was a part of for many years, however I continue to see things that make little or no sense to me, and $50,000 bail for killing a human being is one of the worst. An obviously wealthy guy at that and being an Australian a clear flight risk. Yeah, he had to surrender his passport, but so, once, did a guy named Roman Polanski
….Note:I have a great deal more to say on this case…
it is with permission of the family I am publishing these photos…
God bless you Lauren,
John
