The scandalous financial mess – Did Michael’s associates dip into his money chest?
If Conrad Murray is the doc that killed the King of Pop let it be written as a “manslaughter conviction.” Jackson had a serious drug addiction.
LAPD Drug Enforcement and Office of the Attorney General initiate a manslaughter investigation into all pertinent information regarding Dr. Conrad Murray.
Dr. Murray signed a sworn statement in which he expressed to officials that when Nurse Cherilyn Lee worked for Jackson she gave the King of Pop the powerful drug Propofol also known as Diprivan which Lee vehemently denies. So now who will be tried for Jackson’s death Murray or Cherilyn Lee? Someone is lying.
There’s more drama as marijuana is found in a search made of Jackson’s bedroom. As the investigation continues police say when they found MJ dead he was snuggled in bed next to a little girl porcelain doll wearing a dress. Michael’s bedroom was a mess.
The King of Pop had so many surgeries and emergencies. Everybody knows Michael wore a prosthetic nose.
Katherine Jackson is considering taking action with a civil lawsuit against Conrad Murray for Wrongful Manslaughter.
Dr. Conrad Murray’s girlfriend, Nicole Alvarez has plenty to worry about as she is being questioned by the Grand Jury.

Joe says he spent months urging his wife to get Michael into a rehab facility for his prescription drug addiction, but she did nothing.

Then they increased the number of shows from 15 to 50 when Michael told me he only signed for a 15-show workload. So Randy Michael’s brother was supposed to look into this. Wish Michael would have walked away that day. It would be the last time I would ever see Michael. Then my daughter, La Toya called me that he passed away. Knew I needed to get to LA and headed to the family home in Encino. I had to see my son, but not on a slab. We’re all sad and miss him especially Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket.

There’s another legal action pending against AEG challenging the attorneys over my late son’s estate. I don’t know why Michael said bad things about me.

My one regret is that I didn’t say goodbye properly. I want the world to remember his legacy.
