Re: AEG files their summary judgment motion asking to dismiss Katherine Jackson lawsuit
Why would they weigh so heavily on Muarry's words.
Well we have Murray's police interview that we heard during his criminal trial. Assuming he would be consistent :
In that one (also in the documentary) he said he knew and treated Michael for some time. So that kinda blows the AEG choose and hired Murray claim that Katherine has. It supports AEG's claims that Murray was Michael's physician and was selected by him.
In the police interview Murray said he was working for Michael and would be paid by AEG - which again supports AEG's claim that even though Murray's contract was signed he would have been an independent contractor.
In his interview Murray said Michael was knowledgeable about Propofol , called it "milk" and "antiburn" and mentioned how other doctors including Adams and doctors at Germany gave it to Michael. This is again fits with AEG's claims of "addiction" and refutes Katherine's claims that Propofol was AEG's idea or selection.
The only thing that helps Katherine is Phillips's comments about Michael's financial situation, Murray talking about Michael complaining about he would need to cancel the rehearsals and/or tours. Murray wanted to use this as his defense to show that Michael was desperate for sleep and as a reason to explain why he caved in and gave Michael Propofol.
So with that the situation becomes indirect. not that AEG knew, controlled or ordered the medical care but were they a reason for this treatment and do they share any responsibility?
in an example format imagine if your employer had given you a deadline and in order to meet that deadline you keep working by drinking energy drinks nonstop and your heart stops and die, is your employer responsible even though they didn't tell you to work and drink non-stop and did not know you were doing it?
Also Murray can explain for when he wanted the medical equipment. That's a disagreement in this case. Katherine claiming AEG did not provide medical equipment to Murray and AEG claiming it was for UK.
Also Murray is a wild card in regards to who he can say that knew about Propofol. AEG people are saying that they didn't know.
Which judge ordered Murray to testify? not the one from the AEG lawsuit right? Does it mean the trial will definitely proceed?
No. The judge will hear the oral arguments monday and then make a decision. While they are waiting for the decision everything will continue as if the trial is going to happen. If it gets dismissed it will, if it doesn't they'll be ready to go to trial at April.
