Photos of Jackson's messy, clothes-strewn bedroom shown to jurors

In a case that attorneys promised would dive into Michael Jackson’s personal life, jurors were shown photographs Thursday of the eccentric music legend's messy, clothes-strewn second-floor bedroom in the rented mansion where he died.
Although the foyer of the Holmby Hills home was pristine — a lavish, open space with ornate gold frames — and the dining room boasted flowing white curtains around giant windows that allowed in streaming sunlight, the second floor presented a scene that was radically different, jurors were told in the wrongful-death case brought by the singer's family against entertainment firm AEG.
On June 25, 2009, the day of Jackson’s death, the master bedroom on the second floor was in disarray, Los Angeles Police Det. Orlando Martinez testified. The curtains were pulled and the fireplace was on.
A portable rack was jammed with hangers of clothing. More clothes were strewn about the room, including on the rumpled bedspread. On a desk were stacks of what appeared to be DVDs and papers. Books lay in piles on the floor. Lining the hallway floor that led from the bedroom to the master closet and a bathroom were piles of clothes.
Inside the closet was a globe, shopping bags, a dress form with a red coat trimmed in black, and cardboard boxes that overflowed with even more clothes.
Papers were strewn about the star’s bathroom, which had another cardboard box stuffed with clothing. Bags and towels lay scattered about. Inside the inlaid marble bathtub were additional towels. Nearby sat fancy glass bottles filled with liquids
Although merely a peek into Jackson's private life, the photos presented during the fourth day of the case could foreshadow what's to come in a trial expected to last four months.
The suit filed by Jackson’s mother, Katherine, and his three children accuses concert promoter AEG of pushing the singer beyond his physical abilities and of negligently hiring and controlling Dr. Conrad Murray, who gave Jackson a fatal dose of propofol and is now serving a jail term for involuntary manslaughter.
On Thursday, the family’s attorney played a phone message to Murray left by Jackson’s manager Frank DiLeo on June 20, 2009.
“I’m sure you’re aware he had an episode last night. He’s sick. Today’s Saturday, tomorrow I’m on my way back. I’m not gonna continue my trip. Uh, I think you need -- I think you need to get a blood test on him today. I -- I -- we gotta see what he’s doing. All right. Thank you.”
Brian Panish, the plaintiffs’ attorney, said he believed that DiLeo had spoken with an AEG executive just prior to making the phone call.
Five days later, Jackson was dead.
Martinez testified that on the day of the singer’s death, he went to Jackson’s home, which boasted a movie theater, workout room, dance area and a wine cellar.
Although the entryway was immaculate, the second floor — where Jackson had been found by paramedics earlier that morning — was a deep contrast.
A search warrant and affidavit said that no adults besides Jackson were known to live at the location and that the staff was only allowed to be present on the ground floor. Martinez testified that the chef was allowed to leave food outside a door upstairs.
Martinez said that when he arrived, Jackson’s children and his brother Randy were at the home. He also saw three cars, including Murray’s BMW.
Investigators attempted to reach Murray but the doctor did not answer his phone or return calls, which seemed suspicious, Martinez said.
“If it was a medical emergency or a natural death, why would he be refusing to speak with us? Why would he leave the hospital after he was asked to stay? Why would he not go back to pick up his car?” Martinez said.
Murray was tracked through his cellphone and found in Santa Monica. Detectives interviewed him two days after Jackson’s death.

And the point of all this "messy" conversation is what? It is not at all unusual for highly artistic people be messy, scattered, "unaware" if their surroundings are out of order. Linear thinking and living inside the box is not their focus. From the time Michael lived at Hayvenhurst and into Neverland, he was known to have a messy room - tapes, books, memorabilia, fan gifts, clothes strewn and in piles. His private quarters were his private quarters where he could relax and be himself. So he wasn't tidy. The rest of his home was immaculate. Pointless exercise.

Well said Corlista! The MSM is just trying to side with AEG IMO. Whatever happened to unbiased journalism? The LA Times should not be so sensationalistic.

Michael himself even said he wasn't organised, he was asked in a deposition if he knew where several demo tapes were, and he replied, "no, i'm not organised in that way" I don't know why they are making such a big deal out of this, they already know that michael was being drugged by murray, i wouldn't have time to tidy up while that was happening, and even if he wasn't being drugged, my room is messy right now, it doesn't mean that I have serious problems. I probably should tidy it though:)

yah know there is a key word in private quarters key word being private so he had the freedom to be as messy or clean as he pleased i'm always keeping my room clutter free so i have space and i like things to look nice! Michael was an artist and he apparantly had a lot of stuff and he may have not had the time to clean? who knows?

I know someone with a busy schedule like Michael would probably not have much time to keep the room clean. My room is always got stuff on the floor mainly since my cat lives in my room lol!. I'm always stepping over cat toys.

Exactly! I used to be a hotel housekeeper some years ago and I never saw a tidy room after departures, infact, going by what Michael's quarters were like sounded very "normal" compared to what you see in hotel bedrooms left by disrespectful business clients. Michael's was nothing to worry about, my god are these people desperately sad!

These MSM journalists will say anything to make money on a story, and they know their main customer base has nothing better to do with their lives than listen to/ read it. I agree with you guys 100%, it was his PRIVATE bedroom, it's nobody's business to criticize how messy or clean it is. Many people have less than organized bedrooms. My room isn't exactly immaculate but who cares? It's mine and I have the right to do with it what I want, just as MJ or anyone for that matter has the right to do with theirs.
