Re: [General Discussion] AEG files their summary judgment motion asking to dismiss Katherine's lawsu
If we learned anything from Michael's trial, it's how "newsworthy" he is, and how the media "reports" have little or nothing to do with reality. The usual suspects will come out of the woodwork as "experts," but are actually people who didn't know Michael except in passing. ... . if at all. I guess we can expect to see Stacey Brown, and Yuri Gellar, and Deepak Chopra (who jumped the gun right after Michael's death and said, "NARCOTICS OVERDOSE," when it wasn't), and all the rest of that crew of vermin. . . .
Careers have been launched by trashing Michael (with false "information," i.e. remember Maureen Orth and the "bathing in cow's blood" atrocious reporting?) Souls have been sold, and we know "to whom". . . and there is nothing we can really do about it but endure it. I see nothing good that can come out of this trial, at all, and certainly not the well-being of those children, who must still be trying to heal.
With that said, one thing that is of interest is the total absence of. . .Tohme. It was actually Tohme who negotiated the contract with AEG (the unredacted version of the contract is now online for anyone to read.) Randy Philips and Tohme had a discussion with Michael in Las Vegas, urging him to do the shows. There is an interview with Tohme (don't know if it's still online, though) where he says he had the contract vetted by HIS attorney (i.e. Michael did not have independent counsel look it over?), and so on. We don't have to take anyone's "word for it," or "opinion," to know that AEG was fronting Michael enormous amounts of money. It's there, in the contract. And that remains the murky area in terms of "who hired Murray." If AEG was paying Michael's rent (and they were), and staff (and they were), then it's reasonable to think they intended to pay Murray, too (but ran out of time). But, these payments were ADVANCES (as the contract states), and were going to eventually come out of Michael's proceeds from the concerts. So that is the area of most importance in this trial, and not much of anything else. . .
This trial is actually about the contractual information, but even so, Michael's name will be dragged through the mud yet again, at the great emotional expense of his children (those children who already have enough MONEY for several lifetimes). So, it seems that their so-called guardian really has not much interest in the emotional health of those kids. Again, it's all about the MONEY. I don't see how AEG can legitimately bring up anything about the accusations and trial, or drug-use (alleged). Didn't they say that Michael had a physical for insurance purposes? That physical surely would have included drug-testing, which then would have been a red-flag. But, no drugs were found! And, the autopsy showed no sign of drug-use, and it was not an overdose of narcotics that killed Michael. It was MURRAY, and the propofol. So again, it cycles back to "who hired Murray?" Anything else seems irrelevant in terms of FACTS for this trial. At this point, I wish that KJ would come to her senses and spare those children the horrors of the trial. But, she probably will NOT. .
