  • Michael Jackson-AEG: Fans line up to watch wrongful-death trial
    http://www.latimes.com/local/l…-20130429,0,7596451.story



    By Corina Knoll and Jeff Gottlieb
    April 29, 2013, 10:55 a.m.




    Silvia Gusmami and Laura Messina jetted in from Italy just for a chance to watch the Michael Jackson wrongful-death case, joining other fans at a downtown Los Angeles
    courtroom Monday who jockeyed for two lottery seats being made available to the public for the opening day of the trial.


    The two women said they spent last week watching attorneys pick jurors in the case, which is expected to last as long as four months.


    The case, in which Jackson’s mother and children have accused entertainment giant AEG of hiring and controlling the doctor who gave the pop singer a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol, is expected to dive into the sensational elements of the entertainer’s life. Gusmami and Messina said they are among the Jackson faithful who intend to follow the case.


    Messina, 35, with straight, chest-length black hair, and a nose similar to the last version that Michael Jackson modeled, admitted her friends say she
    looks like the entertainer. The two women are veteran Jacksonians, having come from Europe to watch the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray,
    the doctor who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the singer’s 2009 death on the eve of what was to be a run of comeback concerts in London.


    "We want justice for him," said Messina, a translator. "It was a conspiracy. There is a part of his fans that knows the truth. More in Europe than here."
    Julia Thomas also was among the Jackson faithful. The 40-year-old took the day off from her job as a high school office administrator and drove 70 miles from her home near Rialto to vie for a seat.


    "It's nothing when you love Michael as much as I love him," she said. "Somebody has to come out and speak up for him." Thomas sat on a bench beside Karlene Taylor, a woman she met during Murray’s
    arraignment. Thomas had been overcome with emotion that day when Jackson family members arrived in a blue Cadillac Escalade -- the pop legend's
    own vehicle. "I was breaking down crying and she came and comforted me," Thomas said of Taylor. "We're like BFF now."


    The two say the civil case has divided the Michael Jackson fan community. Some believe the Jackson family's greed propelled Jackson's mother and three children to file the wrongful-death suit.


    Others, like Taylor and Thomas, are steadfast in their belief that the Jackson family has every right to say AEG is at fault when it comes to Jackson's death.


    "This here is a case where he was an artist who was abused and bullied by his promoters and it stressed him out where he needed a sedative to be put to sleep," Thomas
    said. "That's Why AEG is liable." The two women did not win seats inside the courtroom, but were glad to hear that Taaj Malik, who runs http://www.teammichaeljackson.com, got inside. "We want good fans going in who will report the correct information to us," Thomas said.


    One fan who did get inside said the opportunity was "bittersweet." Samantha De Gosson, a 38-year-old photographer from Pasadena looked overwhelmed
    as she waited in the hallway. "I'm happy I can go in, but not looking forward about what's going to be said," she said. "This is a
    trial where Michael Jackson will be thrown under the bus by both parties. It's not really about justice. It's about who's going to make money."


    Though Gusmami and Messina didn't win court seats Monday, they do have another week in the United States.

    Das ist ein Artikel von Linda Deutsch über die Eröffnungs-Plädoyers :


    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson's struggle against drug addiction was on display Monday during opening statements in his mother's wrongful death case against concert promoter AEG Live.


    Competing portraits of Jackson emerged during the first hours of the trial, with Katherine Jackson's attorney acknowledging the pop star's drug problems while also trying to show he was a caring son and father.


    Gegensätzliche Darstellungen von Jackson gab es in den ersten Stunden des Prozess, als KJs Anwalt über die Drogenprobleme berichtete aber auch versuchte darzustellen, dass er ein fürsorglicher Sohn und Vater war


    "His stirring voice, his musical genius, his creativity and his generosity and his huge heart was extinguished forever," her lawyer, Brian Panish, said in his opening remarks.


    "Seine mitreissende/ergreifende Stimme, sein musikalisches Genie, seine Kreativität, seine Großzügigkeit und sein riesiges Herz wurden für immer ausgelöscht" sagte Panish in seinem Eröffnungsstatement.


    AEG's attorney, Marvin S. Putnam, said that while Jackson's death was tragic, his guarded private life meant the company was unaware that he was using the powerful anesthetic propofol.


    "The truth is, Michael Jackson fooled everyone," Putnam said. "He made sure that no one — nobody — knew his deepest, darkest secrets."


    AEG Anwalt Putnam sagte, obwohl Jacksons Tod tragisch sei, war sein geschütztes Privatleben derart, das AEG nichts von seinem Gebrauch von Propofol wußte. "Die Wahrheit ist, dass MJ jeden täuschte," sagt Putnam, "Er stellte sicher, dass niemand - NIEMAND - seine dunkelsten, tiefsten Geheimnisse wußte."


    A jury of six men and six women will determine whether AEG should pay Jackson's mother and three children for their losses after his 2009 death from an overdose of propofol. Millions and possibly billions of dollars in damages are at stake in the case that opened with private photos of the singer with his children and video clips of Jackson dancing.


    "This case is about personal choices," Putnam said about Jackson's decision to be treated by physician Conrad Murray. "Also, it was about his personal responsibility. There's no question that Michael Jackson's death was a terrible tragedy.


    "I believe the evidence will show it was not a tragedy of AEG Live's making," Putnam said as he ended his opening statement. Testimony will begin Tuesday.
    Putnam sagt, es geht hier um "persönliche Vorlieben/persönliche Wahl" bezüglich Jacksons Entscheidung, von CM behandelt zu werden. "Und es geht um seine persönliche Verantwortung. Aber es steht ausser Frage, dass MJs Tod eine furchtbare Tragödie war."
    "Ich denke die Beweise werden zeigen, dass die Tragödie nicht von AEG herbeigeführt wurde"



    Panish said AEG created a conflict of interest for Murray and forced him to choose between a large payday and Jackson's care. He told the jury AEG was feeling competitive pressures and wanted the Jackson tour to work at all costs.


    "They didn't care who got lost in the wash," Panish told the jury.


    Panish sagt, AEG erschuf einen Interessenkonflikt für Murray, der zwischen einer großartigen Bezahlung und der Fürsorge für Jackson wählen musste. Er sagte, AEG wollte, dass die Jackson Tour zu jedem Preis funktioniere. "Es war ihnen gleich, ob bei der Sache jemand drauf ging.."
    Er spielte im Gerichtssaal einenSong, den Jackson für seine Kinder komponiert hatte. "You are my life", und zeigte eine Notiz, die Jackson für seine Mutter geschrieben hatte, die ihr Tränen in die Augen steigen lies, als sie dort im Saal saß.


    Panish played a song that Jackson wrote for his three children, "You are my life," and displayed a note the singer had written for his mother that brought tears to her eyes as she sat in court.


    Katherine Jackson sued AEG Live in September 2010, claiming it failed to properly investigate Murray before allowing him to serve as Jackson's doctor as he prepared for his "This is it" shows. She is also suing on behalf of her son's three children — Prince, Paris and Blanket.


    AEG denies it hired Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death. AEG's attorneys have said the company could not have foreseen the circumstances that led to the singer's death at age 50.


    Panish told jurors that AEG executives ignored warning signs about Jackson's health and were motivated to push the singer and his doctor to improve their own financial fortunes.


    "We're not looking for any sympathy," Panish said. "We're looking for truth and justice."


    Panish sagte den Juroren, dass die Verantwortlichen von AEG Warnzeichen zu Jacksons Gesundheit ignorierten und daran interessiert waren, auf den Doc und den Sänger Druck auszuüben um ihre eigenen finanziellen Ziele zu erreichen. "Hier geht es nicht um Sympathien", sagt Panisch, " "Wir möchten die Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit."



    With Jackson's mother, brother Randy and sister Rebbie seated in the front row of the courtroom, jurors were shown numerous slides and several scribbled notes.


    A couple of jurors nodded when the lawyer referenced Jackson's achievements, including successful concert tours and a Super Bowl performance.


    Katherine Jackson dabbed her eyes after Panish read a note that her son wrote to her, detailing his feelings about her.


    "All my success has been based on the fact that I wanted to make my mother proud," the singer's note said, "to win her smile of approval."


    Die Notiz, von MJ, an Katherine, die Panish vorlas:
    "All mein Erfolg basiert darauf, dass meine Mutter stolz auf mich sein sollte. Ihr annerkennendes Lächeln wollte ich gewinnen."


    The personal touches came after Panish spent the first half of his presentation detailing Jackson's struggles with prescription drug abuse throughout the last half of his life.


    He also showed jurors numerous emails sent between AEG executives concerning Jackson's health and their concerns that he wouldn't be able to perform 50 planned concerts in London.
    Panish präsentierte auch mehrere emails, die zwischen AEG Verantwortlichen gesendet wurden, in denen es um deren Bedenken zu Jacksons Gesundheit ging und ob er in der Lage wäre die 50 Shows zu performen.


    Putnam recounted the chaotic days following Jackson's death as investigators and the public tried to figure out how the singer died unexpectedly. He urged jurors to remember that propofol killed Jackson.


    "One thing became very, very clear," Putnam said. "While the world may not have heard of propofol, Mr. Jackson certainly had. The evidence is going to show you that he had been using that drug for years and years."


    Putnam sagte zur Jury " Eines sei sehr klar. Während die ganze Welt (bis zu MJs Tod) noch nichts von Propofol gehört haben mag, hatte Mr. Jackson das sicher schon. Die Beweise werden ihnen zeigen, dass er dieses Medikament schon über Jahre genommen hat."
    Er sagte, dass die Juroren von MJs Exfrau Debbie Rowe hören würden, die ihnen sagen würde, dass Jackson das Anesthetikum schon in den 1990ern nahm.



    He said jurors will hear from Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, who would tell them that Jackson used the anesthetic in the 1990s.


    "Mr. Jackson got very, very, good at hiding his addiction," Putnam said. "He didn't let anyone see it. Not his staff, not his children. This was the private Michael Jackson."
    "Mr Jackson war sehr sehr gut darin, seine Aktionen zu verheimlichen", sagt Putnam," Er lies es niemand sehen. Nicht seine Angestellten, nicht seine Kinder. Das war der Private Michael Jackson."


    Er sagte, dass Arzt-Patienten Vertrauenbsabkommen half dabei, dass das Abhängigkeitsverhältnis von Propofol nich öffentlich bekannt wurde. Das beinhaltete auch Murray. "Er konnte niemand etwas über den Propofol Gebrauch erzählen."


    He said physician-patient confidentiality kept Jackson's reliance on propofol from becoming publicly known.


    That extended to Murray as well. "He couldn't tell anyone about the propofol use," Putnam said of the former cardiologist.


    Panish, however, said AEG saw the Jackson shows as a way to make a lot of money and better compete with Live Nation Entertainment Inc.


    He displayed a March 2009 email sent before a news conference featuring Jackson, in which AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips wrote to Tim Leiweke, the former CEO of AEG'S parent company, that Jackson was drunk and refusing to address fans.


    Panish sagte, dass AEG die Shows als eine Möglichkeit sahen, Geld zu machen um besser mit Live Nation Entertainment konkurrieren zu können. Er zeigte eine mail von März 2009, vor der Pressekonferenz, die Phillips an Leiweike schrieb: "Das ist das beängstigendste was ich je gesehen habe. Er ist ein emotionales paralysiertes selbstbemitleidendes Wrack und zweifelt jetzt, wo es Showtime ist. Er ängstigt sich zu Tode."


    "This is the scariest thing I have ever seen," Phillips wrote Leiweke. "He is an emotionally paralyzed mess riddled with self-loathing and doubt now that it's show time. He's scared to death."


    Panish said Jackson's behavior was just one of several warning signs the company ignored before the death.


    Panish sagt Jacksons Verhalten sei nur eines von vielen Warnzeichen, die AEG vor seinem Tod ignorierte.


    He told the panel that they would be the ones to assign liability for Jackson's death, but they should look at AEG's actions and not focus on Jackson's issues.


    "Michael paid the ultimate price. He died," Panish said. "Michael has taken responsibility."


    Panish: "Michael hat den ultimativen Preis gezahlt. Er starb. Michael hat Verantwortung übernommen."

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson looked pale, thin and like a hospice patient on the day he died in 2009, a Los Angeles paramedic told a jury on Tuesday in the wrongful death lawsuit involving the pop star and the promoters of a never-realized series of London concerts.


    Richard Senneff, the first witness in the civil trial, testified that he was initially unaware that the person lying in pajamas on a bed in the rented Los Angeles mansion was the world famous pop singer.



    "The patient appeared to be chronically ill to me," Senneff testified, saying he could see Jackson's ribs. "He was very pale and underweight. I thought perhaps this was a hospice patient."
    Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, appeared "frantic" but never mentioned that the "Thriller" singer had taken the anesthetic propofol, Senneff said.
    "He was pale, he was sweating, he was very busy," Senneff said of Murray, who was convicted in 2011 of the involuntary manslaughter of Jackson through an overdose of propofol, which is usually used in surgical settings.



    Senneff, who gave similar testimony in Murray's 2011 criminal trial, was testifying on Tuesday on behalf of Jackson's mother and his three children.
    Jackson's immediate family accuses AEG Live, who were promoting a series of London concerts by Jackson, of negligence in hiring Murray as the singer rehearsed for what would have been a career comeback after years out of the musical spotlight.
    AEG Live maintains that Jackson kept his dependency on propofol secret from outsiders, and that a proposed contract with Murray was never fully executed.
    Jackson, 50, was pronounced dead in a Los Angeles hospital on June 25, 2009, a day after a rehearsal and three weeks before the first concert was due to take place in London.
    Katherine Jackson, 82, and the singer's two oldest children Prince and Paris, are also on the witness list later in the civil trial along with singers Diana Ross and Prince.

    LAPD Detective Orlando Martinez Testimony



    Jackson direct


    Martinez started by explaining his training and background. Martinez learned from his lieutenant that Michael Jackson was the victim. He went to UCLA to begin his investigation. (ABC7)


    Martinez said he saw Frank Dileo and Randy Phillips at the hospital as well as Katherine and Randy Jackson and MJ’s kids (ABC7)


    Jackson's lawyer Panish: Were you able to speak with Dr. Murray at the UCLA?
    Martinez: No
    Panish: Why not?
    Martinez: He had left (ABC7)


    At the hospital, LAPD officers decided to fly MJ’s body to the coroner’s officer so that the transport wouldn't become a spectacle.(AP)


    Martinez then went to MJ’s house at Carolwood. Martinez photographed the scene (AP). Lots of photographs were shown to the jurors. Martinez explained the photographs to the jurors. He also mentioned that police made three separate trips to MJ’s home to collect evidence.(AP)


    Martinez didn't search Murray's vehicle because he wanted a search warrant. Martinez didn't leave Murray's car at the residence, wanted a reason for the doc to go talk to him. Car was impounded to a police yard (ABC7).


    Inside the BMW -- which was registered to Murray's sister in Texas -- he found a contract between AEG Live and Murray saying he would be paid $150,000 a month to work as Jackson's doctor, along with AEG Live President Randy Phillips' business card and cell phone number, he said.(CNN) In Murray's car: handwriten note with 24 hour pharmacies names/numbers; Randy Phillips' business card; contract between Dr. Murray and AEG (ABC7)


    The detective said that when he interviewed Murray with two attorneys present, the doctor made up a story to protect himself.


    “He was not being honest and forthright,” Martinez testified. (LATimes)


    Martinez had already interviewed Dr. Murray prior to the car's search. He attempted to interview him again, but doc wasn't talking anymore (ABC7) Martinez said he was looking for a motive for MJ's death, and the contract could be important financial aspect to investigate.(ABC7)


    Seeing pictures of MJ's room, Martinez said he saw IV bag, pill bottles, vials, ambu bag. "It looked like the room had been cleaned up," he said. Martinez: "Things had been removed from the room prior to police's arrival." He took several pictures to document the scene. (ABC7) Martinez says he learned from Dr. Murray that there were 3 bags total of medicine in the closet. He went back to the house to retrieve them. Martinez took fingerprints off the bags and found Dr. Murray's prints on the bottles.(ABC7) (Jurors were shown several pictures of evidence collected and crime scene photos)


    Det. Orlando Martinez at first concluded that the cause was accidental or natural. (LATimes) Martinez said at that time the investigation was leading to natural or accidental death, no real signs of foul play, but it was odd.(ABC7)


    LAPD Detective Orlando Martinez's testimony focused on Murray's finances as a potential motive for his treatment of Jackson. (AP)


    When Martinez discovered the deep financial straits Murray, he shifted his thinking and pondered whether he had discovered a motive for the pop star’s death — “financial gain.” (LATimes)


    Martinez told jurors Murray was more than $500,000 in debt and may have been motivated by a large payday for working with MJ.(AP)


    Detective Martinez testified that after interviewing Murray and after the search of Murray's car four days after MJ's death, his "thinking at the moment was the crime was negligence." (CNN)


    Detective Orlando Martinez testified that he looked into Murray's finances searching for a financial motive for his role in Jackson's death and relied mostly on public records. He turned up that Murray's Las Vegas home was in foreclosure proceedings, and Murray faced several liens for unpaid child support and other unpaid debts.(AP)


    His investigation revealed that Murray hadn't paid his mortgage in more than six months, his home was being foreclosed on and he had several liens for unpaid child support and tax debts, Martinez said.(CNN)


    Murray's Las Vegas home, which he bought for $1.6 million, was appraised at barely $1 million in 2009, he said. The Las Vegas real estate market had suffered a major decline in home values up to that date.(CNN) The house was in foreclosure (LATimes)


    Martinez checked Dr. Murray's credit report. "There was a notice up that his house was either on a lien or being foreclosed on." (ABC7)


    Panish showed a document from a title company that said Dr. Murray owed $ 1,644,644.25 for the loan of his house (unpaid principal balance) (ABC7)


    As of January 2009, Dr. Murray had not been paying his mortgage and was behind $ 15,165.11. Late charges accruing at rate of $3,477.95 (ABC7)


    Martinez says he determined the doctor was more than $500,000 in debt, facing foreclosure and his “office was about to be closed.”(AP)


    Murray had closed his office to work with one patient — Jackson, tying his financial future to him, Martinez said. (LATimes)


    Orlando Martinez testified that Murray was trying to deal with the large drop in value of his Las Vegas home, unpaid taxes and child support payments for eight children with seven women.(CNN)


    The searches led Martinez to conclude that Murray's financial condition was "severely distressed."(AP)


    Panish: “Is there any question in your mind that Dr. Murray was in dire financial straits?” Martinez: “No, there was no question.” (AP)


    "That's a lot of money for anyone," Martinez said. "Seeing the scene and talking to him about what he had done and how he did it raised questions."(CNN)


    Martinez said that led him to believe Murray's actions were motivated by the $150,000 a month he expected to be paid by AEG.(AP)


    "Focusing on the financial aspect may have been important for Dr. Murray's willingness to disregard his Hippocratic Oath for financial gain," he testified.(CNN)


    Martinez said what he learned about Murray's financial troubles led him "to opine that he may have, for this easy money -- the $150,000 a month -- may break the rules, bend the rules, to do whatever he needed to do to get paid."(CNN)


    "He may break the rules, bend the rules, do whatever he needed to do to get paid," Martinez said. "It might solve his money problems." (AP)
