Hey guys-I feel strongly the jury will come back with a verdict that is for The Jackson's in this case - however you just don't know for sure until it happens. In the case that AEG wins I think we need to be prepared and with that try your best not to be devastated but think of how we all can do as MJ would want and just go forward with continuing to uphold Michael's wonderful legacy.

My plan is to NEVER spend 1 thin dime on anything AEG EVER promotes ever again. Whether they win or lose. I will never attend an event at which they have any chance of earning money. We can research their holdings and do the same there. This needs to be spread all throughout the MJ community.

Jury reaches verdict in Michael Jackson death trial
By Alan Duke, CNN

October 2, 2013

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The jury in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial informed the court Wednesday afternoon that it has reached a verdict.

The decision on whether concert promoter AEG Live is liable in Jackson's death is expected to be read at 6:30 p.m. ET.

While waiting for the verdict, Jackson family matriarch Katherine Jackson sat on a courthouse bench playing a game on her iPad.

Jackson's mother and three children sued AEG Live in 2010, contending the company's negligence in hiring, retaining or supervising Dr. Conrad Murray was a factor in the singer's June 25, 2009, death.

Michael Jackson doc: 'He wasn't faking'
Jackson died of an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol, which Murray told investigators he was using to treat the singer's insomnia so he could rest for rehearsals. Murray is set to be released from jail later this month after serving two years for involuntary manslaughter.

Jackson died just days before his comeback tour -- promoted and produced by AEG Live -- was set to debut in London in the summer of 2009.

To reach their verdict, jurors had to answer the question: Did AEG Live hire Murray?

The company's lawyers contended Jackson chose Murray, who had treated him for three years as a family physician, but Jackson lawyers argued the promoters chose to negotiate their own contract with the doctor so they could control him.

A "smoking gun" e-mail sent by AEG Live Co-CEO Paul Gongaware 11 days before Jackson died said: "We want to remind (Murray) that it is AEG, not MJ, who is paying his salary. We want to remind him what is expected of him."

The Jacksons also pointed to a television interview soon after Jackson died in which AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips said AEG Live "hired" Murray.

AEG Live lawyers argued they had no way of knowing that Murray -- licensed to practice in four states and never sued for malpractice -- was a risk to Jackson. The singer was a secretive drug addict who kept even his closest relatives in the dark about his use of propofol to sleep, they contended.

Jackson lawyers contended the company's agreement with Murray created a medical conflict of interest that led him to break his Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. Murray, who was $1 million in debt, was pressured to deliver the risky treatments or else possibly lose the $150,000 monthly salary, they argued.

Executives ignored a series of warning signs that Jackson was at risk in his last weeks, including deteriorating health that included weight loss, inability to perform his trademark dances or remember lyrics to his standard songs and paranoia, the Jacksons argued.

Jurors appeared engaged and entertained during the 21-week trial that included dramatic testimony by Jackson's mother, son and former wife. Several jurors even applauded at the end of testimony by famed choreographer-director Kenny Ortega.

Alan Duke on HLN says the Jackson team thinks they may have lost. Sad They said well if we lose-we will see in 3 years after the appeal process plays out and the dust settles.

CRAP!

by WeAreTheWorld. Wed Oct 02, 2013 5:49 pm

I don't think Alan Duke is correct on this. The questions do not have to be answered unanimously, only 9 of the 12 jurors have to agree.

by **Admin** Wed Oct 02, 2013 5:52 pm

I don't agree with AD there-I believe that since the jury had both sides attorneys arguing during closings about the 1st 5 questions on the verdict form-that they already over the long w/e had a chance to know their votes-if they did know in the first hour in deliberations-then they would have said yes and gone on to the last 11 on the form which would be why they took 13 hours.

If it was NO to the 1st 5 questions-then they would have come back right away with a verdict since the last 11 questions would be moot.

Remember they only need 9/12 - not a unanimous vote!

WE WILL WIN!! I JUST FEEL IT!!!!
