The company claims they only hired the doctor because Jackson insisted. The pop star was familiar with Murray and felt comfortable with him. Murray had been treating Jackson for a little over three years.

Dr Conrad Murray To Be Indited In Michael Jacksons Death

Since the death of the beloved King Of Pop fans have wondered when someone would be charged for contributing to his early demise. Many think that those who prescribe drugs should be held responsible. Though personal responsibility is key in this case, it is clear that someone dropped the ball.
If Jackson was under the care of a doctor them one would think that Doctor would be responsible for MJ's care during that time.

According to ABC News "Dr. Conrad Murray, the Las Vegas-based cardiologist who was with Jackson when the pop singer died after receiving a lethal cocktail of painkillers and anesthetics June 25, has long been the focus of a homicide investigation.

Officially, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office said that no final decisions had been made in the Jackson case.

"We don't have a case. It hasn't been presented. Don't know when we'll get it," Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the DA's office, told ABC News.

Murray's lawyer said his client had not yet been made aware of any indictment.

"We have refused to comment on stories involving unnamed sources and will continue to do so. However, we can confirm that we have not received notice of an impaneled grand jury and Dr. Murray has not been invited to testify," said Ed Chernoff in a statement.

According to police reports, Murray found Jackson dead in the singer's Los Angeles rental home before administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation and calling 911.

In October, the coroner's office released a statement saying Jackson had died from an overdose of the hospital-grade anesthetic propofol.

The coroner also cited the powerful sedative benzodiazepine as contributing to the singer's death. A toxicology screen and search of Jackson's home found several other drugs in the singer's body and bedroom.

After the investigation, a slew of liens and lawsuits against Murray was discovered. In the last three years, Murray has faced lawsuits for unpaid business bills totaling over $700,000, including rent on his medical offices.

ABC's Zunaira Zaki contributed to this report."

Since this man was hired to take care of Michael Jackson he was responsible for taking care of him. He should be charged if not for this case but to show other doctors this behavour will not be tolerated. Prescription drugs are a huge problem in the US. This man needs to be used as a example.

The case of Dr Murray needs to go in front of a Grand Jury then be sent to the DA's Office before the public will see further action taken against him.

Will The Beatles Rock Band Game Put Jackson Estate Over The Top

In 1985, Michael Jackson bought the rights to the Beatles record catalog with the rights to other artists' songs for $47.5 million. In 1995, he sold half the rights to Sony for $90 million. How much is the Beatles record catalog and associated rights worth today?
Since Michael Jackson's Death his recording sales themselves have gone through the roof. Some estimates are in the millions for songs sold after his death.
If Michael Jackson's estate earns revenue from The Beatles Rock Band Pre Release the family could all be get rich. Let's face it MJ probably gave family members very little cash. We can assume this from news reports and the way he designed his will. He didnt distribute any of the estate to anyone but his mother and the clause assoitiated with the mother shows he didn't even trust them or like them.
The family could have a windfall when the estate is settled. It has been reported that Michael Jacksons Mother has been dishing out allowances to the family members with meger incomes for years. The Jackson Five still makes money too. They also saw a gain in sales after Jackson's death.
High assett music libraries, like The Beatles, is worth the value of projected future value generated by the asset. If the Beatles catalog generates $70 million a year in profits and is expected to do so for the foreseeable future, then value the asset at the present value of $70 million per year for the next twenty years could be a reality.

Jackson Family Friend Says Wrongful Death Lawsuit Is Coming

Last week La Toya Jackson dropped a bombshell on the world saying her brother Michael Jackson was murderd. Along with that she said she knew who and way. Money was the motive according to. Miss Jackson.
Now a family friend appears to be backing up La Toya Jackson's statements.
Terry Harvey gave a interview to the same news agency that La Toya made here astonishing revelations too. News Of The World is reporting that Terry Harvey spoke to the Jackson family and that they said the autopsy results will show that Michael Jackson overdosed on a combination of narcotics and driprivan. It was also said in the interview July 19,2009 with Harvey that needle marks where found on Michael Jackson's arms and neck.

Terry Harvey says that the Jackson family is waiting for charges to be filed against those who injected the drugs and administered the Driprivan into there son Michael.

Unrelated to Terry Hervey's interview it would appear that there was no way Michael Jackson could have completed 50 shows as they where scheduled. Even though supposed friends of Michael Jackson say he was in good physical condition it would seem he was not.

A 50 year old man in good shape does not just drop dead even with all the drugs Jackson is said to have taken. Users of these drugs build up a tolerance and taking 40 zanyx a day is not unheard of for a full blown junckie.

Using common sense would tell us that Jackson was not in good shape. If it was true he was just over 110 pounds that says it all. Someone in good physical condition weight should be at around 150 to 165 and be muscle.

It has also been said that Jackson had insomnia which has shown to cause physical side effect in those who suffer from it regularly.

Jackson didn't eat ? This is some that has been stated on all the news shows by many different people. We all know diet plays a huge part in our health. You don't eat right you even get fat from eating to much or fall out of condition and deteriorate from not eating enough of the proper foods.

Michael Jackson seams to have have these three things working against him. So why are these so called friends of Jackson going on Larry King and stating they never saw any of this and he was in good shape?

To protect there own ass's seems to be the only answer. Some of these people where the enablers of Jackson. They are all scared of being blamed for Jackson's death June 25, 2009 now or in years to come. We can't get in those who made statement, but we can safely assume they do have motive to protect themselves from whats to come.

The release of the last Michael Jackson This Is It Rehearsal Video shows a vibrant MJ but what is the real reason for the release of this video. Assuming again we would say it was to start damage control. AEG was Michael Jackson's main handler at the time of his death. AEG was the tour promoter. AEG hired the doctors and AEG rented homes for Jackson and his kids in LA and London. This would put AEG in charge and they know it.

None of us know the real truth about what happened and probably never will. With so many people watching out for themselves the truth will sku'd by those protecting themselves and trying to cash in on the Michael Jackson name.

We will never know the truth.

Please remember this blog has no direct contact with anyone involved in the Jackson death investigation and we are only reporting what has been said in news publications. We make every effort to bring our users accurate information. We cannot confirm or verify statements made by others are true or not. Please use your own judgment when reading news stories on the Internet. We do our best to be authoritative and that you can count on.

La Toya Jackson Claims Michael Was Murdered For Money

According to Britain News Of The World (LINK) Michael Jackson Was murdered because he was worth more dead than alive.Said La Toya Jackson

According to the interview she also knows who it was and vowed revenge. She said "I KNOW who did it."

Joe Jackson as also proclaimed MJ's death was caused by foul play.

Funny how the two members of the Jackson family that have declared some of the most outrageous in the entire family. Joe Jackson was promoting a record company he form hours after his son's death.

La Toya Jackson claimed she was sexually molested by Joe. These 2 have used the fame that Michael Jackson built over a life time for there own greedy wants.

When La Toya made her sexual abuse claims she was married to a record producer and seemed to be looking for publicity.

How can anyone take these two people seriously. They have done nothing but look out for themselves over the years. Joe Jackson beat Mj according to Michael. He denies this and says he used tough love. Sounds like something that would come from a child abuser.

TV News Shows use the word like "Never Proven" Well you dumb ass's someone needs to be criminally charged before anyone can try to prove anything. What a bunch of blood sucking pieces of crap these news shows are. They use words like that to create a so called controversy that doesn't exist.

The tabloids will turn the death of Michael Jackson into a conspiracy with the help of cable tv stations like CNN and Fox.

Around here we were hoping MJ's kids would be left out of the circus, but it looks like CNN is going to air a showbiz tonight that shows the Jackson kids. They claim they can show how they live day to day.

Michael Jackson worked the entire lives of these kids to protect them from the media and CNN and others are going to destroy that all for money. Jerks!

Jackson Death Investigation Becoming Focused on Homicide, Overdose

On Thursday July 9 2009 CNN reported that the Jackson Family was informed that early autopsy results could be pointing at a cause of death connected to a overdose or even a homicide.

This could mean many things. Jackson took to many drugs and overdosed or someone intentionally gave him drug that he overdosed on. That is if drug are the cause of death.

Could someone have wanted Michael Jackson dead? Maybe the man was 50 years old and was going to do a group of 50 shows in the UK. That could be a motive to someone with money invested in the tour. Jackson was reportedly in poor health and more than likely unable to complete all the concerts.

Doing 50 concerts as a older adult is not unheard of. The Rolling Stones have had a few tours since they all turned fifty and even 60 years old, But Jackson was a small petite man.

That theory doesn't really fly though. Concert promoters get the insurance on a performer before they advance any money. So if the promoters had already paid for the rental home in England and a Doctor for the tour it only makes sense that the insurance was in place. Insurance would pay out if Jackson could not complete his obligation.

Could the focus on homicide be moving towards a doctor or group of doctors that over prescribed drugs to Michael Jackson? Maybe in the Anna Nichole Smith Investigation the doctors involve have been investigated.

It would be hard to charge a doctor with homicide. If a patient has multiple doctors it would be hard to prove which one gave him the drugs that killed him.

Again as of now drugs are not the official cause of death, but all public evidence is beginning to point that way.

Jackson himself admitted to having a drug problem with prescription. The family has said that it was only that one time. I can speak from personal experience from having friends overdose and die that drug addict never stop 90% of the time. They can also hide it very well.

For the family to say they had no idea about drugs is simply them trying to protect there brothers name and legacy. How could they be unaware if Jackson himself publicly acknowledge drug addiction and treatment for it.

We have heard some reports from people who say they where close to Jackson like his spiritual adviser says maybe he just wanted to go out on top. Has in Michael Jackson intentionally committed suicide.

After Jackson memorial and the statement from his daughter Paris suicide also would seem unlikely. It is very obvious that MJ loved his kids. He went through so much to obtain them and protect them. Most people would not go through all that and leave the kids with a memory of a parental suicide for life. But then again from personal experience this is not unheard of. Parent can be selfish too. That's what suicide is. Self indulgence and self centered.

Back to Driprivan. Reports are coming out that Michael Jackson did have doctors administer the drug Driprivan.

Keys To Safe Buying of Jackson Memorabilia on Amazon and eBay

It's important to remember that ebay and amazon is like an online flea market or swap meet. There will always be someone trying to sell things that most people wouldn’t touch. The trouble is that online, when you can't physically view the merchandise, so these people can be a little harder to spot. Here are some tips to make your ebay and amazon experience more enjoyable and safe.

Know Your Seller...

This, by far, is the most important research you must do before placing your bid on ebay and amazon. Getting to know a little about your seller before you bid on their item will make for a much smoother purchase.

1) Review the seller’s feedback and member profile.

Check the seller's eBay and amazon feedback before you make a bid. The feedback rating will give you a good idea about the trustworthiness of your trading partner. One or two neutrals or negatives can be overlooked due to the fickle nature of some buyers, however if a trend of poor service or item quality comments is visible you may want to avoid the seller entirely. If a seller has no feedback or negative feedback, contact the seller before bidding to get a feel for their customer service.

2) Ask the seller questions.

Email the seller with questions by clicking the “Ask seller a question” link. If you have won an item, you can request the seller’s contact information to get more information.

3) Review the seller’s policies on shipping, payments and returns.

Shipping and handling – Review shipping and handling charges before you bid, and ask to have your item shipped and insured in a traceable manner. Avoid sellers who either won't disclose or charge exorbitant shipping charges.

Payment – Consider paying with PayPal or with a credit card, as most offer 100% consumer protection. Be careful when sellers only accept one form of payment, especially when the seller requests cash. NEVER PAY WITH CASH and use caution when paying with cash equivalents such as wire transfers.

Returns – Examine the seller's return policy carefully before you bid. Contact the seller before you bid with any questions about the return policy. Some questions you might ask include how long do you have to return the item, who pays shipping and handling, and under what circumstances can you return the item.

Know your item...

Read the description fully. Most misunderstandings result from buyers not carefully reading the item description in the auction listing. Use caution if the price is significantly lower than similar auction items. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Review the item condition, whether it is new or used, and any damage described.

Be realistic when purchasing used items. People have different definitions of quality and condition. Remember, just because the seller says the item is in "like new" condition, doesn't mean you will feel the same way. A 25 year old item is likely to have some wear and tear so don't be overly critical of the item when you receive it. Take the condition of the item into account BEFORE you place your bid.

Use PayPal...

Take advantage of PayPal for safe and fast funds transfer between you and the seller. PayPal is ebay and amazon's preferred way to pay. It is a system that lets anyone with an email address securely send online payments using their credit card or bank account. eBay and amazon members can use PayPal to quickly and easily pay for all the items purchased on eBay and amazon. PayPal’s industry-leading fraud prevention measures make it a safe way to pay online.

When you’re shopping on ebay and amazon, look for items that are covered by PayPal Buyer Protection. With it, you get free protection of up to $1,000.00 USD on your purchases. To determine if your item is eligible, look for PayPal Buyer Protection in the Seller Information box on the View Item page.

The more that you know about your seller and the items that you are bidding on the safer you, as a buyer, will be. Spending some time doing research before you place your bid will help to ensure a positive buying experience.

Tickets For Michael Jackson Memorial Service Selling Online

POST UPDATED:

Almost as soon as the lottery was complete Memorial Vouchers for Michael Jackson's service appeared online. It is remarkable that 1.6 million MJ fans registered for the event. Only 15.600 tickets are released to the public and out of those only 11.000 attendees will be let into The Staples Center.
Now if you really want a ticket the sellers have conditions.
Lottery winners can pick up the Michael Jackson Memorial tickets at Dodgers Stadium Monday July 6, 2009 before 6PM Pacific time. This means if you buy a Michael Jackson Memorial ticket online you need to physically meet the seller before 6PM 7/6 and get the voucher containing the code. Buyers then need to go to the Stadium and pick up the actual ticket (s). ID's will also be checked and a wrist band will be snapped on the intended fan. Organizers are saying it's OK to sell the second ticket. That according to CNN.

Since most people selling these very rarer tickets they will likely be on eBay and Amazon. Craigslist doesn't offer any kind of buyer protection so buying these gems on CL is not recommended. Learn how to buy safely on eBay and Amazon.

Ebay has said that any tickets to Michael Jackson's Memorial will be removed when they see them. At upwards of $10.000 for a ticket the scalpers will just move to another corner of the internet or the streets of LA. Reselling event tickets in California is a misdemeanor.

Just as a comment: The folks selling these tickets are more needy than the folks who exploited Michael Jackson sense he was 5. Like his father Joe Jackson and so many others. National Enquirer to Court TV and CNN have made a buck of this guy. So why not small citizens. People that could really use it. MJ would probably think like that. Everyone in the media will make a ton of money off this memorial, but the general public can't. Rich helping the rich again.
