It was obviously staged & it wasn't for us. Very smart move IMO.
I think it was for Branca & Weitzman. Dileo is known for supplying the tabs, I bet he gave the tabs all the rumors to NE & others that MJ would be dead in 6 months. AND HE DIED. I'm sure Weitzman told him not to worry about it, he was fixing things but Dileo is worried things are coming apart and he doesn't want to be the fall guy. Pellicano was the fall guy & he's in prison. IMO he should have rolled over on those lawyers which I bet would have included Weitzman, Bert Fields, Marty Singer & some other big hollywood types like Ovitz, Brad Grey, Ron Meyer. All IMO.
