Michael Jackson
The family of late pop star, Michael Jackson, was handed a definitive and
heartbreaking defeat in court, regarding the wrongful death lawsuit they filed
against promoter AEG. The family alleged in court documents AEG hired Dr. Conrad
Murray who overdosed Jackson on the potent anesthetic Propofol, killing him in
his sleep. The jury found AEG was not liable in Jackson's death, as at the time
the company hired him to be Jackson's doctor, he was in good medical standing
regarding his license and record. The jury came to the correct conclusion.
Murray is the one responsible for Jackson's death. He has served a measly
2-years on a 4-year sentence regarding the criminally negligent homicide and
bears the brunt of the blame. AEG had nothing to gain from Jackson's passing.
The tour would have made them money.
Conrad Murray
Jackson needed the money as well and claims AEG pushed him too hard are
dodgy, as he always rigorously practice for tours. Jackson was not going to go
out there unprepared and out of tune or step with his dancers. Poor nutrition
(Jackson was not eating well due to the effects of the drugs on his system),
exhausting rehearsals (under the guise of being a perfectionist) and the wanton
misuse of pharmaceutical grade drugs as improperly and negligently applied by
Murray ended in tragedy.

Jackson pointed out a few years ago, echoing the Judiciary Report's
previous claims, Sony is the one who had the most to gain from Jackson's death.
They've made a fortune in posthumous sales off Jackson, as they did with Whitney
Houston's passing and that of other singers. Jackson's death also makes it
easier for Sony to gain full control over the Sony/ATV catalog, ram packed with
copyright infringing songs the company keeps stealing from various songwriters,
which Jackson co-owned.

Sadly, Hollywood is run by organized crime and they like to keep ownership on
a certain level among a handful of people. Jackson, much like Sam Cooke who
owned his own substantial publishing, disrupted the order and was killed for it
under suspicious circumstances.
