IVM is negligence. Remember the coroner's testimony that said even if Michael did self inject he would call it homicide due to negligence.
Think like this. I have a gun with bullets in it, I leave it lying on my front lawn accessible to everyone. Someone comes and picks the gun, kills a guy on the street. I didn't shot the gun, I didn't kill anyone. But am I guiltless? Would you think that my action satisfied "negligence"?
DiD you ( on anyone on here) read Leanord Rowe book and specifically the part about MJs contract??
Thanks for the updates and discussions. I wouldn't know where to begin and a lot of you bring up good points and ask good questions Sorry for the stupid question but how many hearings will there be? What exactly is the point of a hearing? (I didn't take any law courses, ever! So I have a very very limited knowledge as to the proceedings of trials)
havnt read it but from posts on here and other boards it mentioned using i think mijac as collateral.so mj doesnt do the shows he loses the cat.hence what chernoff is going on aboutDiD you ( on anyone on here) read Leanord Rowe book and specifically the part about MJs contract??

ivy;3330937 said:but then the contract became available. Yes Michael uses his assets as collateral but it doesn't specifically limit it to the catalogs. It could be any asset of his
Deputy District Attorney David Walgren accused Chernoff of trying to distract from the main issue of the trial — whether Murray acted with gross negligence when he gave Jackson propofol and other sedatives on the day he died.
"This is an irrelevant sideshow designed to take issues away from the jury and smear Michael Jackson," Walgren said. "It has nothing to do with the case on which Dr. Murray is being prosecuted. "
so the contract didnt name any asset by name? the defence/rowe are just presuming its was mijac etc

Bingo! Judge Pastor. Hit it on the nail.AP summary of yesterdayhttp://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=13316133&page=1
Chernoff's attempt to see Jackson's financial records was blocked by Judge Pastor, who said he would not allow such a "deep sea fishing" expedition.
"I'm not going to turn an involuntary manslaughter trial into some kind of an escapade in analysis of the finances in Michael Jackson's entire life," Pastor said.
I did read it but it has been some time. Relevance? and refresh our memories.
Number of hearings - as much as required
point of it - getting ready for the trial.Basically each side is mentioning their requests and issues etc to the judge and judge makes a decision so that everyone will be ready for the trial.

I have read the contract (and excerpts from the book). Yeah, relevance???
I'm hoping that the judge will not allow Michael's financial specifics, other than what is already in the public domain.
The contract doesn't mention Murray specifically, or medical care for Michael, that I can remember. My recollection is that AEG was fronting Michael's expenses, including living expenses, rent on his house, and so on. It didn't at all seem to be a contract beneficial to Michael, and the ATV catalog and other of his assets were collateral, should he cancel. (It's possible that material presented at trial, including testimonies under oath, will then dove-tail into Katherine's civil suit.)
If the judge allow MJJ's financials, prosecutor should ask for Conrad's financials as well. Why not? Conrad gave MJJ high addictive drugs like Benzodiazepine, and other. It is obvious, that Murray didn't take care of MJJ as a patient, he wasn't thinking of treating MJJ, no way. Conrad needed MJJ being depended on him, and it was all for money.Im hoping that the judge will not allow Michael's financial specifics, other than what is already in the public domain.
yeah I gotta agree with you here,,,,imo,,Alberto is not to blame for what happened...he was only doing what Murray...the one who was the Doctor in-charge..told him to do...hell...even when 911 heard there was a doc on the scene they felt comfortable hanging up the phone...if we all remember right..even in the ambulance ride they let Murray call the shots because he was the doc on scene. Everyone was following proper protocol..little did they know Murray was lieing about the whole scenario.alberto didnt know what had happened. the dr was already there. murrays the dr you take you orders from him as hes supposed to be the one in control. for all alberto knew or thought that he was putting away something that was dodgy or as he testfiyed to that he thought he was putting stuff in the bag to take it to the hospital. tbh i dont know how much training alberto had or what job he had done b4. was he police or army? or maybe nothing at all which led to him in some ppls eyes to taking the wrong option
OS ANGELES – Lawyers in the case against Michael Jackson's doctor want to know if prospective jurors were fans of the pop star, how much they know about his death, and how familiar they are with 27 different prescription drugs he may have taken.
A 29-page questionnaire with those and other questions was released Thursday after prospects who said they could serve on the two-month trial of Dr. Conrad Murray finished answering its 117 questions.
Candidates were asked if they had ever seen Jackson or his family members in person, whether they own his records or DVDs, attended his concerts or saw his posthumous concert movie, "This is It," and if so why they watched it.
In one section, prospects were asked if they knew any of the more than 100 potential witnesses. Included on the list were Jackson's three children — Prince, Paris and Blanket — as well as his parents, brothers and sisters.
Large chunks of the questions involved familiarity with drugs and exposure to media coverage of the case, including Internet and social media postings. Jury prospects also were asked if they had ever posted blog entries about the case.
In a section headlined, "Attitudes about celebrities and people in the news," they were asked, "Do you think that people of wealth or fame are treated differently in the court system?"
Notably, there was no mention in the questionnaire of Jackson's highly publicized acquittal after his child molestation trial in 2005
Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. He is accused of gross negligence for administering the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives to Jackson before he died.
The trial is likely to focus on his competence based partially on his reactions after Jackson stopped breathing on June 25, 2009.
Jury prospects were asked, "Do you have any positive or negative feelings or opinions about Conrad Murray or Michael Jackson?"
Lawyers also wanted to know if they had ever taken prescription drugs, including propofol, and a long list of sedatives and mood altering drugs.
The lawyers also wanted to know if they had friends or family members who were ever addicted to prescription drugs, and if they themselves had been in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.
In addition, prospects had to disclose if they were ever involved in an emergency medical situation and whether that would prejudice them in deciding the case.
The answers of prospective jurors will be released when they are questioned in person beginning May 4.
In another development, Murray's lawyers filed six motions to exclude from testimony "sexually scandalous information" regarding Murray's patronage of a strip club in Los Angeles, the women he met there, and the amounts of money he spent,
"This evidence has no rational bearing on any issue in this matter and is presented merely to harass and discredit Dr. Murray," one motion states.
Three of Murray's mistresses testified at a preliminary hearing earlier this year.
The motions also sought to exclude from evidence autopsy photos of Jackson.
"Dr. Murray is on trial accused of having caused the death of international superstar king of pop Michael Jackson," another motion states. "As if that fact alone is not inflammatory enough, the prosecution seeks to further inflame the passions of the jury by introducing autopsy photographs of Mr. Jackson."
The motions submitted by attorney Nareg Gourjian also asked to exclude evidence involving Murray's child support payments, lawsuits over his financial affairs, and his relationships with women.
Prosecutors filed a motion late in the day asking to admit as evidence audio recordings of Murray's statements to police detectives during a lengthy interview two days after Jackson's death.
Prosecutors David Walgren and Deborah Brazil said Murray's statements "clearly are admissions."
Judge Michael Pastor set a hearing for April 21 to deal with the motions.
