In my opinion, AEG didn't want to hire Murray at all and everything they did, or didn't do was merely a STALLING tactic. A stalling tactic, in the hopes that Michael would change his mind.
First of all, Murry was TOO expensive and AEG knew they could get Michael excellent medical care, if needed, once they arrived in London. If I'm not mistaken, they also would have had to pick up Murray's living expenses. Why go through all of that trouble and expense, when you could obtain quality medical care in London?
I'm sure there were many, MANY round-table discussions regarding this matter, and I won't be surprised if that type of testimony becomes part of the record, i.e. "We never wanted Murray to be a part of the team. We were hoping Michael changed his mind."
That certainly does make sense. London would have had many qualified doctors.
Apparently Murray had plenty of time to get a medical license for the U.K., and simply didn't do it? Or he tried, and was rejected? He clearly was having money problems. The police found the unsigned contract on the seat of his car. We may never know exactly WHAT transpired that night, but hopefully at least some of it will come out in court?
