Hier der letzte Teil der Aussage von TJ. Von oben nach unten. Alles dann hier zu lesen.

Insgesamt schöne und emotionale Äußerungen über MJ von TJ und Taj.
Intressant, dass er sagte, dass er traurig war, dass Grace als Kindermädchen von der Jackson-Familie entlassen wurde. Sie wollte die Erziehung der Kinder im Stil von MJ, genau wie TJ und seine Brüder fortsetzen, aber es habe Differenzen mit Teilen der Familie gegeben. Nachdem die Kinder ins Haus der Großmutter kamen sei es schwer möglich gewesen den Erziehungsstil fortzusezten, gleiches äußert er auch darüber über die vielen öffentlichen Auftritte (es sei schwer das Leben der Kinder privat zu halten).
Insgesamt ist es natürlich eine Aussage um den Verlust zu erläutern, die Jury muss das ja irgendwann im Urteilsfalle in einen Betrag umwandeln. Relevantes zum Klagepunkt erwartungsgemäß nicht dabei. Er sah MJ einmal in 2009, beim Familientreffen. Dort habe er einen glücklichen Eindruck gemacht. Von Phillips nahm er nach seinem Tod für MJs Kids Karten für die Lakers an. Dieses Spiel besuchte er mit den Kindern. In der Depositon sagte er aus, dass er sich bei Phillips für die Karten bedankte, im Prozess sagte er, er kann sich nicht erinnern ob er sich bedankt hat. Die Jackson-Anwältin hebt im Re-Cross später dann noch hervor TJ habe da ja zu dem Zeitpunkt noch nichts von den Treffen von Murray mit Phillips gewusst. MJ hat TJ und Brüdern mehrmals in den 90ern und 2000ern gesagt, dass er umgebracht werden wird auf Grund seiner Erfolges.

Heute dann Karen Faye im Zeugenstand.

After MJ died, Grace Rwamba came back to work with the family, TJ explained. But he said there was a situation where Grace had to move on.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts4m
TJ: I was a little disappointed she had to. Along with my grandmother, she was the mother figure the kids had in their lives.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts4m
"I don't know specifically what happened but I think there had been conflicts between Grace and other members of the family," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts4m
TJ said MJ raised the kids differently. They read a lot, didn't watch tv during the week, one movie a week if they earned, TJ explained

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts3m
"Once my uncle passed, they came into my grandma's house in regular society, it was hard to maintain the same lifestyle," TJ expressed.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts3m
"She (Grace) wanted to maintain, as did my brothers and I, my uncle's child raising," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts4m
Boyle asked TJ about Paris deposition regarding Grace. Defendant's attorney objected, they went to a sidebar and lunch break.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
Attorney Jessica Stebbins Bina did the cross examination of TJ on behalf of AEG.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
Bina asked about Katherine's health problems last summer and if he's aware of any health problems? TJ said no.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
Bina inquired how many times TJ saw or spoke with MJ and the children. He said he spoke with his uncle every other month.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
TJ definitely remembers seeing MJ at least once in 2009.

Bina asked if TJ draws salary for being MJ's children co-guardian.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts13s
"It was hard for me to accept it, my grandmother insisted and a couple of months ago I began receiving it," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts23s
Bina asked about children being more exposed to the media after MJ died, like going on Oprah and Prince working on Entertainment Tonight.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts5s
"It's difficult, because they are 15 and 16," TJ said. "It's hard to maintain that private life."

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
"It was very important for him to excel in his career," TJ said about Prince.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
"I didn't release music until I was 16 or 17," TJ said. "I encourage them to be children first."

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts38s
Paris wants to be an actress, Prince says he wants to act then become a producer, TJ explained.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
Bina: As their guardian you haven't prevented them to be in the public eye TJ: It's hard to do that when he's straight A student with honors

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
'If he really wants to do it, 100%, he should be able to do it at 16," TJ said about Prince working on a television show.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
"I wanted to do for the art of it, I like the quiet, private life," TJ explained.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
"I would say they want to build their own career, and ET is a stepping stone for his acting career," TJ said about Prince.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts59s
TJ: It's tough, as long as he (Prince) understands his responsibilities and the pitfalls, it's hard to say no

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts40s
Bina: You didn't go to Carolwood house? TJ: Not before MJ died

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts31s
TJ said the last time he saw MJ alive was in his grandparents anniversary, where most of the family member were there.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts25s
Bina notes the anniversary happened on May 14, 2009.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts6s
"He was in a good mood," TJ recalled. "He was happy, he was talking about the kids, making jokes, that stuff."

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
TJ didn't remember MJ being extremely thin then, but said he wasn't concerned to check it.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
"He was just happy and jolly and I was just happy to see him and the kids," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
TJ: We talked primarily about the children, that I wanted more kids, talked about movies.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
TJ said before MJ left, he asked him if he was going to London. "I said 100% and he said ok, see you there," TJ testified.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts17s
TJ said MJ was excited that TJ was going to London. TJ said he didn't know if MJ was happy because of tour or for being around his family

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts3m
The only time TJ recalled seeing his uncle in 2009 was at the anniversary dinner.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
Bina asked TJ about MJ's wedding gift to him, which was $30,000 in cash. "He wanted to pay for my wedding, but the wedding passed," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
TJ reluctantly accepted the gift. Bina asked if MJ was in financial difficulties then and couldn't afford the gift. TJ said he didn't know.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
Bina: Did you ever talk to your uncle about his finances? TJ: No

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
"At the dinner, MJ seemed happy," TJ said. "I don't think he would be sad if he was sad," TJ said about MJ during the anniversary dinner.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
Bina: Did you consider your uncle to be a private person? TJ: For the most part, yes

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
Bina: Did you ever see a doctor on Dangerous tour? TJ: No

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
"I don't remember seeing a doctor in the HIStory tour either," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts59s
TJ testified he was familiar with Dr. Metzger. He said he had not heard of the drug Propofol before MJ died.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts41s
"I've heard many rumors about my uncle that were not true," TJ testified.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
Bina: You never personally saw substance abuse? TJ: No

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts55s
TJ said he didn't believe MJ had a substance abuse problem, never saw him take pills.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts29s
Bina asked if TJ thought MJ would've told him if he had a drug problem.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
"I don't think he would've told me, but I'm not sure. He told me some things, but I don't think so," TJ responded.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts27s
"My cousins and I were going to Laker game, they wanted to go to ESPN zone before the game, and that's when I met Randy Phillips," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts39s
Bina asked if TJ thanked Phillips for getting them tickets. TJ testified he didn't know he got the tickets.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts58s
But in his deposition, TJ testified he did thank Phillips for the tickets.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts41s
Bina asked about MJ's lavish lifestyle.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts54s
"It's hard to measure myself against my uncle, he was kind of person who loved art, liked collectibles, liked the best of the best" TJ said

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts44s
But TJ noted MJ wore pajama bottoms, V necks, and Mickey Mouse watches.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts27s
"Homes I would say yes, he wanted nice homes. Cars yes and no," TJ explained.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts41s
TJ said MJ was very important to him, had a lot of influence on him.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
Bina: It's hard for you to believe he could've died of drug overdose? TJ: It's hard for me to know that he's dead

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
Bina: Do you believe your uncle was murdered? TJ: I do

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts55s
"He (MJ) did tell me and a couple of his brothers he would be murdered because of his position, because he was a target," TJ said.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts50s
TJ had conversation with MJ about it during mid 90s to mid 2000s.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m
TJ said they didn't go with Phillips to the Laker game, he was just there, at the game zone.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
Boyle: Do you think Jackson's kids should be allowed to go to the Laker games? TJ: I think they should go anywhere they want

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
TJ said he began acting as the children's co-guardian shortly after MJ died.

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts2m
Boyle: Did you do it for four years for free? TJ: It was out of love

ABC7 Court News @ABC7Courts1m

The Jacksons vs. AEG Live — Zeugen der Jacksons, 29. Teil

27. Juni 2013

Gestern war’s nun soweit. Einen Tag nach dem vierten Jahrestag von Michael Jacksons Tod nahm sein Sohn Prince den Zeugenstand ein. In den ersten 30 Minuten wurden den Geschworenen von den Jackson Anwälten diverse Videos und Fotos von Michael und seinen Kindern gezeigt. Anschliessend befragte Jackson Anwalt Brian Panish Prince zu den letzten Wochen in Michaels Leben. Michael Jackson hatte oft geweint, nachdem er mit AEG Live Leuten telefoniert hatte, so sein Sohn. “Er hatte gesagt ‘Sie werden mich umbringen; sie werden mich umbringen’”, so Prince. Mit “sie” waren gemäss Prince AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips sowie Michaels Manager Dr. Tohme Tohme gemeint.

Prince sagte aus, dass Randy Phillips in der Nacht vor Michaels Tod in ihrem Haus war und Conrad Murray besucht hatte, während Michael noch bei den Proben war. “[Phillips] hatte [Murray] am Ellbogen gefasst. Aus meiner Sicht sah’s aggressiv aus. [...] sie waren sehr nah beisammen und [Phillips] gestikulierte mit den Händen”, so Prince. Er habe jedoch nicht gehört, worüber sie gesprochen hatten. Nachdem er den Vorfall beobachtet hatte, rief Prince seinen Vater vom Häuschen der Sicherheitsleute aus an, um ihm zu sagen, dass Phillips bei ihnen zu Hause sei. Michael habe seinem Sohn daraufhin gesagt, er solle Randy Phillips etwas zu essen und zu trinken anbieten. Das war das letzte Mal, dass Prince mit seinem Daddy gesprochen hatte.

Das nächste Mal, als er seinen Vater gesehen hatte, hing dieser “halb von seinem Bett runter, seine Augen waren zurückgerollt” und Murray hatte versucht, ihn wiederzubeleben. Paris war Prince die Treppe hinauf gefolgt, “aber wir haben sie die Treppe runtergezogen. Sie hat die ganze Zeit geschrien, dass sie ihren Daddy sehen wollte”, so Prince. Im Spital habe Dr. Murray ihnen dann gesagt: “Sorry Kinder, Euer Dad ist tot”, so Prince.

Im 25-minütigen Kreuzverhör versuchte AEG Live Anwalt Marvin Putnam Princes Aussage betreffend Randy Phillips Besuch bei ihnen zu Hause und dessen Auseinandersetzung mit Conrad Murray zu diskreditieren. Prince blieb jedoch bei seiner Aussage; er gestand einzig ein, dass es möglich sei, dass dieser Vorfall sich zwei Nächte vor Michael Jacksons Tod abgespielt hatte und nicht am Vorabend.

Brian Panish gab Prince weiter die Gelegenheit über den emotionalen Verlust, den die drei Kinder infolge des frühzeitigen Tods ihres Vaters, erlitten hatten zu sprechen. “Ich kann nachts nicht schlafen. Ich habe Schwierigkeiten, nachts zu schlafen”, so Prince. Der Tod seines Vaters habe ihn für eine Weile emotional von vielen Leuten distanziert gehalten. Er habe es vermisst, mit seinem Vater seine Erfahrungen nach seinem ersten Schultag, mit seiner ersten Freundin oder mit dem Autofahren zu teilen, sagte Prince.

Prince sprach auch über seine Schwester Paris und wie der Tod ihres Vaters sie speziell hart getroffen hat. (Paris’ Selbstmordversuch und ihre Einlieferung ins Spital wurden im Gerichtssaal nicht angesprochen und es ist nicht klar, ob die Geschworenen wissen, dass dies vorgefallen ist.) “Ich denke, von all meinen Geschwistern, hat es sie wohl am meisten betroffen, weil sie die Prinzessin meines Dads war”, so Prince. Prince sagte auch, dass die zweitägige Befragung durch die AEG Anwälte im März dieses Jahres (im Rahmen der eidesstattlichen Zeugeneinvernahme) von Paris “schmerzhaft für sie” gewesen war. “Sie hatte einige Probleme davor, danach und, so vermute ich, währenddessen”, so Prince. “Sie geht definitiv auf ihre eigene Art und Weise damit um”, so Prince weiter.

Wie wir am 22. Juni im Rahmen der Aussage von Michaels persönlicher Köchin, Kai Chase, berichtet hatten, feiert Paris ihren Geburtstag seit dem Tod ihres Vaters nicht mehr, “weil es ohne [ihren Vater] nicht mehr dasselbe ist. Dies gilt ebenfalls für Prince. Michaels jüngster Sohn, Blanket, jedoch möchte seine Geburtstage weiterhin feiern. “Im Moment weiss ich nicht, ob Blanket realisiert, was er verloren hat. Er war so jung”, so Prince. Und wie er, habe Blanket keinen Vater mehr, der ihm den Weg zeigt.

AEG Live hatte versucht, Blanket im Rahmen dieses Prozesses ebenfalls zur Aussage zu nötigen. Die Richterin hatte den Antrag jedoch abgelehnt, nachdem ein Psychologe ausgesagt hatte, dass es dem Jungen schaden würde. Paris wird wie erwähnt aufgrund der laufenden psychiatrischen Behandlung nach ihrem Selbstmordbesuch ebenfalls nicht (mehr) vor Gericht aussagen. Es kann jedoch weiterhin vorkommen, dass Videoaufnahmen von ihrer eidesstattlichen Zeugenaussage im März vor Gericht verwendet und den Geschworenen gezeigt werden.

Die Geschworenen bekamen von Prince auch einen Einblick in die Welt von Michael und seinen drei Kindern. Unter anderem wurde ihnen ein bisher unbekanntes Home Video gezeigt, das an einem Weihnachtstag von Michael selbst aufgenommen wurde. Darin hatte er seine Kinder gefragt, wie sie “die Welt verändern” möchten, wenn sie gross sind.
Hier das Home Video( *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpOun...ature=youtu.be.)

Prince wurde zudem zu seinen Schulleistungen und seinen sonstigen Aktivitäten befragt. So erfuhren die Geschworenen, dass er sehr gute Noten hat in der Schule und Kampfsport betreibt sowie als Mechaniker für das Roboterprogramm seiner Schule arbeitet. Nach dem Abschluss der High School möchte er an die University of Southern California, Film und Business studieren gehen. Sein Vater habe ihm gezeigt, wie die besten Filmemacher ihr Handwerk betrieben. Prince ist ehrenamtlich auch im Kinderspital in Los Angeles tätig für ein Programm, das junge Patienten mit Büchern beliefert, “um sich von ihren Problemen abzulenken”, so Prince. Sein Vater habe “immer gesagt, man solle Gutes tun für die Gemeinschaft und man solle so oft helfen, wie man kann”, sagte Prince.

Den Geschworenen wurden auch Videos von Michael und seinen Kindern auf der Neverland Ranch gezeigt, bevor sie nach dem Arvizo Prozess von dort weggezogen sind. “Sie haben es meinem Dad verdorben”, sagte Prince. Überall auf dem Gelände der Neverland Ranch waren auch immer wieder Zitate und Gedichte seines Vaters. Eines davon lautet: “Wenn Kinder spielen, Tyrannen weinen, dann gibt es nichts zu sagen”. Als auch Videos von den verschiedenen Bahnen etc. auf Neverland gezeigt wurden, berichtete Prince, “Wir gingen nur bei besonderen Anlässen auf diese Bahnen und zum Zoo, weil mein Dad wollte, dass wir bescheiden bleiben”. Als ein Foto von Prince und Michael an einem Klavier gezeigt wurde, sagte Prince, dass er nie ein Instrument wird spielen können. “[U]nd ich kann definitiv nicht singen”, so Prince.

Prince erzählte auch, dass er zu Lebzeiten seines Vaters sechs Tage pro Woche Schule hatte; entweder wurde er von einem Lehrer oder von seinem Vater selbst unterrichtet. Ein wichtiger Aspekt war jeweils, über andere Kulturen und Religionen zu lernen. Prince betonte auch, dass Michael seine Kinder immer fragte, wie es ihnen in der Schule ging und was sie machten, um die Welt zu verbessern.

Ein Thema war auch das Tragen von Masken in der Öffentlichkeit, als sie klein waren, “damit niemand wusste, wie wir aussahen, so dass, wenn wir mal ohne [unseren Vater] unterwegs waren, wir eine normale Kindheit haben konnten.” Nachdem er nun konstant beobachtet bzw. verfolgt würde, verstehe er jetzt, warum sein Daddy das so wollte und gemacht hatte, sagte Prince.

The Jacksons vs. AEG Live — Zeugen der Jacksons, 30. Teil

28. Juni 2013

Gestern riefen die Jackson Anwälte Michaels Neffen T.J. Jackson in den Zeugenstand. T.J. Jackson ist der jüngste Sohn von Michaels Bruder Tito Jackson und gegenwärtig Vormund von Michaels drei Kindern zusammen mit Katherine Jackson. Als AEG Live Anwältin Jessica Stebbins Bina T.J. während des Kreuzverhörs fragte, ob er glaube, dass Michael ermordert worden sei, sagte er: “Das tu ich. Ich glaube das, weil er mir und meinen Brüdern ein paar Mal gesagt hatte, dass man ihn umbringen will. Er sagte, nur allein wegen seiner Stellung war er ein Ziel”, so T.J.

Zuvor hatte T.J. unter anderem über den Mord seiner Mutter, Delores Jackson, vor 19 Jahren gesprochen. “Meine Mutter wurde auch wegen Geld umgebracht.” Anfangs wurde der Tod von Delores Jackson, die sich 1993 von Tito hatte scheiden lassen, als Unfall angesehen. Sie ertrank in einem Swimming Pool. Der Fall wurde dann jedoch 1995 auf Initiative von T.J. und seinen zwei Brüdern wieder eröffnet und es wurde gegen einen Mann Anklage wegen widerrechtlicher Tötung erhoben. Drei Jahre später wurde der Mann wegen Totschlags zu 15 Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt.

T.J. sagte auch aus, welche verheerenden emotionalen Konsequenzen der Tod von Michael Jackson für seine drei Kinder gehabt hat. “Er war einfach alles [für sie]“, so T.J. “Der Verlust meines Onkels hat [Paris] auf eine andere Art und Weise getroffen [als Prince und Blanket] und sie es ist hart für sie. Aber wir lieben sie und tun, was immer wir können”, so T.J. Er sagte, er habe keine Worte um zu beschreiben, was Paris durchmache. Es sei hart. “Sie war Daddys Mädchen. Mein Onkel war die Welt für sie. Mein Onkel hat ihnen so viel Liebe gegeben und seit er nicht mehr da ist, hat es Paris sehr schwer, alle haben’s schwer”. Michaels jüngster Sohn Blanket, der 7 Jahre alt war, als sein Vater gestorben war, “hatte sich immer um [Michaels] Bein geklammert, er war sehr schüchtern. Wo immer mein Onkel war, Blanket war neben ihm. Mein Onkel hat Blanket alles bedeutet”, so T.J. Was Michaels Sohn Prince betrifft, der am Tag zuvor ausgesagt hatte, sagte T.J., dass er Michaels “kleiner Assistent” war. “Er war für sein Alter sehr reif, sehr intelligent. “Mein Onkel hatte ihn für Sachen vorbereitet”, als er mit ihm über Geschäfte sprach.

Als Vormund von Michaels Kindern müsse er sie ständig vor auflauernden Paparazzis schützen, die Fotos von den Kinder machen wollen. “Um ehrlich zu sein, es nervt total. Es ist schlimm”, so T.J. Er schlug vor, dass es ein neues Gesetz geben sollte, das Kinder von Prominenten vor Fotografen schützen sollte. “Es macht alles nur schwieriger für die Kinder, um trauern, sich vom Verlust erholen und mit dem Leben weitermachen zu können”, sagte T.J.

Hier ist jezt eine ausführliche Wiedergabe der Aussage von Prince mit wörtlicher Wiedergabe eingestellt aus den Gerichtsunterlagen. Darin auch ersichtlich das Panish sitpulierte das AEG Prince nicht unangemessen in seiner Deposition befragte. Wenn Ihr Euch erinnert, die Jackson-Anwälte behaupteten dies nach Prince Depostion ebenso wie TJ Jackson in einer gerichtl. Motion. Daraufhin stellte TJ den Antrag, dass Paris Depostion unbedingt an einem öffentlichen Ort stattfinden muss. Prince wird hierzu auch von Putnam befragt und anschließend auch noch von Panish. Der letzte Austausch von Prince mit Panish darüber ist für mich eindeutig einstudiert um das Ganze etwas ins Lächerliche zu ziehen.

[Lena]

Erster Zeuge der Jackson-Anwälte heute ein Personalexperte. Seawright hat ihre eigene Firma in Californien und arbeitet für unterschiedliche Klienten. Sie hat bereits in 16 Fällen ausgesagt, darunter einer wo ein Arbeitgeber seinen Angestellten tötete. Seawright erhält 300 Dollar die Stunde für das Zeugnis und hat bereits 100 Stunden in den Fall investiert. Panish beginnt mit einer hypothet. Frage. Sie solle sich vorstellen AEG stellte Murray auf MJs Wunsch ein. Hätte dann AEG die Richtlinien einer guten Anstellung befolgt. Expertin verneint, da Murray einen Hochsicherheitsjob annahm. Nur die Prüfung der Nicht-Vorstrafen sei nicht genug. Social Security-Nummer sei zu überprüfen, die Kriminal, Kredit und Fahrhistorie.



Anthony McCartney @mccartneyAP 39m

In forming her opinion, Seawright said she relied on the testimony of Dr. Matheson and other witnesses during the trial.

Iiiiinteressaaaant, was sie zu der Frage sagt

Ich glaube die Menschen im Gericht fanden es nicht so intressant. Wird mehrmals erwähnt wie trocken das Ganze war, einige der Juroren schlossen die Augen und ein paar Zuschauer schliefen ein.

Und natürlich sagt der Experte, dass AEG die Mindestandarts fürs Personlchecking unterließ und zumindest die Kreditwürdigkeit hätte checken müssen. Er machte alle Aussagen unter der Annahme, dass AEG und nicht MJ den Arzt einstellt. Richter erinnerte die Jury, dass sie entscheiden werden wer Murray einstellte. Zum Schluss gab es noch eine heftige Auseinandersetzung über eine geseztlichen? Regelungstext den AEG zeigte und der besagt, dass das Checken von Arbeitgebern über die Kreditwürdikgeit zur Diskremierung von Arbeitgebern führt und daher zu unterlassen ist. Panish will dass Richterin Jury belehrt, dass der Text nicht zur Kenntnis genommen werden darf. Richterin scheint sich darüber aber nicht schlüssig. Die Entscheidung ob der Text zugelassen wird ist vertagt. Das hier sind nur die letzten Tweets. Alle kann man im Link nachlesen. Morgen wird er nochmals im Stand sein. Morgen ist zudem Dr. Schnoll im Zeugenstand der zu MJs Medikamentenabhänigkeit aussagen wird. Am Mittwoch dann Taj Jackson. Donnerstag und Feitag Ferien, kein Gericht.

Jacksons vs AEG - Day 39 – June 27 2013 – Summary

Katherine, TJ and Taj Jackson are in court.


TJ Jackson Testimony

Jackson direct

Plaintiffs called next witness, Tito Jackson, also known as TJ Jackson. TJ is MJ's children cousin and co-guardian. (ABC7)

Jackson's attorney Kevin Boyle questioning him Boyle: Have you testified before? TJ: I think this is my first time, so I'm a little nervous. (ABC7)

TJ says he goes by TJ Jackson, since his father is also Tito and people would get the two confused. Katherine Jackson is TJ's grandmother. Tito is MJ's brother, member of Jackson 5 with Jackie, Marlon, Jermaine and Michael. TJ is cousin and co-guardian of Michael's children. TJ said he's from Encino, CA, raised there like most of his family. He went to Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, same as Prince attends now. TJ said he has 3 biological children and 2 stepchildren. He has 2 daughters, age 2 and 5, 13 year old son, 19 and 21 year old stepchildren. TJ said he does music with his brothers primarily, he's a third of band "3T." TJ' wife is a fitness trainer, and they have their own fitness center. He's also a real estate broker, has license but doesn't practice. (ABC7)

"My primary things are my kids, my cousins and my family," TJ said. Boyle: So you don't have a lot of free time? TJ: No, I don't (laughs)

TJ and his brothers Taj and Taryll Jackson compose the 3T group. Boyle: I know you're humble, but you sold millions and millions of records? TJ: Yes (ABC7)

TJ lives in Corona, CA. He explained that when he had his son Royal, he wanted to slow down the pace, wanted smaller community feeling. TJ explained Corona is multi-national area. "When I grew up, I was the only black kid in school," he said. "It was sometimes uncomfortable".TJ doesn't go to Calasabas, where the children live, during rush hour. Sometimes he's there for six days in a row, sometimes once a week. TJ testified he's 34 years old and drives a Honda Accord. "I just need something to get from A to B and the Honda has served me well." Prince has a Ford truck, TJ said. No Ferrari, or Porsche, or expensive car. (ABC7)

TJ broke down when Boyle asked him about his relationship with MJ. He bowed his head for a few minutes and cried. TJ: "My mother was murdered a month after I turned 16. My world crumbled and my uncle Michael saved it""He was just, he was there. He kept me inspired, he kept me ambitious, he was just there for me," TJ explained about Michael Jackson. He said he was raised by his brothers, father and when he needed advice he'd turn to his uncle Michael. (ABC7) TJ’s mother Delores, also known as Dee Dee, was murdered when he was 16. “My world crumbled and my uncle Michael saved it,” he said. (AP)

"He was just everything," T.J., bowing his head in tears and needing a minute to compose himself. (NYDailyNews)

TJ said he's teaching MJ's children to be ambitious, be giving, be loving, be honest and to make their mark in the world. (ABC7)
TJ said his uncle gave him advice and tried to provide him with inspiration tried to keep him inspired. “He was just there for me.” He said Jackson bought him and his brothers instruments and fostered their interest in music, but wanted them to earn their careers. (AP)

TJ said MJ wanted him to go to college. He applied at LMU, UCLA and University of Pennsylvania. He wanted to study Business. "I got into all three," TJ said. They are all considered the top Business schools in the country. TJ said MJ wanted him to go, and he regrets turning it down. "He wanted me to go, he just though it was going to be good for me." "My brothers and I were doing quite well touring around the world," TJ said, that's why he didn't go to Wharton School in Pennsylvania. (ABC7) He said his uncle pushed him to go to the Wharton School of Business, but TJ didn’t end up going. He said he regretted it. (AP)

"From the beginning, along with my father, he was there inspiring us," TJ said about uncle Michael. TJ said his mother would call all her children the 3T, which originated the name of the group. "Especially when my mother passed, he took us under his wing and became important part of our success," TJ said about MJ. "I think he wanted us to earn things in our own," TJ explained, saying MJ would not use his power to benefit the group. Boyle showed video of 3T and clip of MJ's song "Why." Boyle: Did you consider your uncle your mentor? TJ: Definitely (ABC7)

"He's always wanted to be a parent," TJ said about Michael Jackson.
"Eventually he did have his kids, and they were everything to him, the joy of his life," TJ testified. (ABC7)

TJ said he never knew how famous his uncle was until he was already grown-up. "On the HIStory tour, I was probably 19, my uncle had a show on a stadium. The whole route there were people clapping," TJ recalled. "That was probably the first time I really realized his impact in the world," TJ said about MJ. TJ: He was very humble, extremely humble, checking on us, talking about school, amazing to see contradiction outside, people cherishing him. (ABC7) He recounted an incident in Spain where people lined the streets for 5 miles to cheer Jackson on. “He was very humble about that,” TJ said. (AP)

TJ told the jury about Jackson’s generosity and how he won $200 in a trivia contest his uncle officiated between TJ and his brothers. (AP)"My uncle was kind of person he would give us some cash," TJ testified. "He's always given couple of hundred of dollars to myself, my brothers and pretty much whomever was around," TJ said. "He would drive around to areas with poor people and would give hundred dollar bills to people to make their lives a little better," TJ said. As to MJ's charities, TJ said he knows about "Heal the World." He said MJ visited hospital around the world, worked with "Make a Wish"."He was very giving of his time, everything that help put a smile on children's face," TJ explained. (ABC7)

"My grandmother is the queen," TJ testified. "She's the CEO and I help her with the day to day stuff (of co-guardianship) as much as I can." TJ said he does a lot of the doctor's appointments, school stuff, extra curriculum activity, deals with security for children. "Because of who they are, it demands a lot of time and energy," TJ explained saying it's not the kids fault but their high profile status. TJ: Grandma is the overseer, she knows everything that happens, she's there every day, making decisions. "If they want to go out it the movie they know to ask grandma," TJ testified. "She's the one to be commended, her life had changed quite a bit as well," TJ said about grandma Katherine. TJ: I don't think I would be able to live properly my life if I didn't try to help my cousins to be who my uncle wanted them to be. "I can't really see myself far away from them until I make sure they are adults and are what they are supposed to be" TJ said about the kids. (ABC7)

Boyle was then asked about each of the children. Of Prince, he said he’s “poised and ambitious” and is extremely smart, reads a lot of books. “I just think the loss of the uncle has hit her at a different level,” TJ said of Paris. TJ then described Paris’ relationship with her dad. He described her as a daddy’s girl who’s struggling with the loss of her father. He said he always thought Prince was his uncle’s little assistant. Blanket was always wrapped his father’s leg, TJ recalled.(AP)

"Prince is an amazing person, very strong, very smart," TJ testified; he was always devouring books, very poised and ambitious, very loving. "Paris has a heart of gold as well," TJ said. TJ on Paris: I think the loss of my uncle has hit her in a different spot. She's having a difficult time, but we're giving her love/support. (ABC7)

TJ talked about the paparazzi. "It's a complete annoyance, it's awful, I feel there should be something done." He agrees with Halle Berry's attempt to create a law preventing paparazzi to follow children. TJ said he supports it 100%. (ABC7)

Scrutiny by paparazzi has made it more difficult for the children of Michael Jackson to grieve for their dead father, TJ told jury.TJ Jackson said the three children don't like the attention, and he supports any legislative effort to curb photographers from pursuing images of the sons and daughters of celebrities. "In my opinion, I know it's making everything harder for the kids to grieve and recover and progress," Jackson said. TJ Jackson said he had to consider whether Michael Jackson's youngest son Blanket should attend martial arts classes on Tuesday because photographers would be interested in getting a shot of the 11-year-old on the fourth anniversary of his father's death. (AP)

"I know it's making harder for the kids to progress," TJ said about the paparazzi. TJ on Paris: It's tough. She was daddy's girl. My uncle was her world, he gave her more love for it to be taken away it's been very hard. "For all of them, but for her more being the princess," TJ said about Paris. "Prince was my uncle's little assistant," TJ said. He is very mature. "I think my uncle knew he would have to be very sharp," TJ said. "Prince had always been mature beyond his years." Blanket was always wrapped around behind MJ's leg, TJ said. "Wherever my uncle was, Blanket was just steps away. "My uncle was everything for Blanket," TJ said. Blanket was either 7-8 when MJ died.(ABC7)

T.J. Jackson said Prince was Michael Jackson's "little assistant." "He was very mature for his age, very smart. My uncle would prepare him for things" by telling him about his business deals. "He's very strong, he's very smart," he testified. "He was always the smartest kid I'd ever known." As a guardian, T.J. Jackson said he must constantly deal with paparazzi stalking the children for photographs. "It's, just to be frank, a complete annoyance," he said. "It's awful." He suggested there should be a new law to protect celebrity children from photographers. "I know it's making everything harder for the kids to grieve and to recover and to progress," he said. (CNN)

"I don't want to go into details on what's going on with Paris now, but could you explain how Paris is handling the loss of her father?" asked Kevin Boyle, one of the lawyers representing Katherine in her wrongful death case against concert promoter AEG Live. "It's tough," TJ said. "She was daddy's girl. My uncle was her world."T.J. acknowledged Michael's death has "been very hard" for all three kids - including Michael’s sons Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11 - but Paris was "the princess of his life.""Paris has a heart of gold," he said of the 15-year-old. "I just think the loss of my uncle has hit her at a different level. She's in a tough spot, but we're all loving her and doing everything we can to get her where she should be." (NYDailyNews)

"The loss of my uncle has hit her at a different level and she's in a tough spot, but we're loving her and doing everything we can," T.J. Jackson testified Thursday. He said he was at a loss for words to describe what Paris is going through. "It's tough, you know, it's tough." "She was daddy's girl," he said. "My uncle was her world. My uncle gave them more love and for it to be taken away, it's been very hard for Paris, and for all of them." Blanket, who was 7 when his father died, "was always wrapped around his leg, very shy," T.J. Jackson said. "Wherever my uncle was, Blanket was a foot away, My uncle was everything to Blanket." (CNN)

TJ said he lived a couple of blocks away from Hayvenhurst, would go out there to grandma's house quite often. "My uncle just cherished my grandmother, named everything after her, from mountain to next house," TJ testified. "My grandma is the queen." "I think my grandmother was everything to my uncle," TJ testified. (ABC7)

TJ on grandma Katherine: It's hard, very hard, it's tough for me as her grandson, don't know what to say or do. I try to help with the kids."Our children is supposed to outlive us, so it's been very difficult on my grandmother," TJ said. (ABC7)

Boyle asked TJ about Kai Chase, his uncle’s chef who now works for Katherine. He says he had no idea she might be a witness in this case. TJ said he hadn’t heard of Chase until Prince, Paris and Blanket asked for her. (AP) Boyle: Who hired Kai Chase back? TJ: It was a suggestion I made. A couple of employees were let go, as co-guardian job to replace cook/nanny. "The kids just liked Kai, they asked for Kai, and I asked my grandmother and she was okay with it," TJ said. Boyle asked if Chase was hired back in an effort to influence her testimony in this case. "Not a chance, it's silly," TJ said. "It's impossible, I did a lot of the legwork to get Kai back," TJ testified. (ABC7)

TJ first heard of Dr. Murray after MJ passed. (ABC7)

After MJ died, Grace Rwamba came back to work with the family, TJ explained. But he said there was a situation where Grace had to move on. TJ: I was a little disappointed she had to. Along with my grandmother, she was the mother figure the kids had in their lives. "I don't know specifically what happened but I think there had been conflicts between Grace and other members of the family," TJ said. TJ said MJ raised the kids differently. They read a lot, didn't watch tv during the week, one movie a week if they earned, TJ explained."Once my uncle passed, they came into my grandma's house in regular society, it was hard to maintain the same lifestyle," TJ expressed. "She (Grace) wanted to maintain, as did my brothers and I, my uncle's child raising," TJ said. (ABC7)

Boyle asked TJ about Paris deposition regarding Grace. Defendant's attorney objected, they went to a sidebar and lunch break. (ABC7)


AEG Cross

Attorney Jessica Stebbins Bina did the cross examination of TJ on behalf of AEG. (ABC7)

Bina asked about Katherine's health problems last summer and if he's aware of any health problems? TJ said no. (ABC7) Her first questions before the lunch break were about Katherine Jackson’s absence last year. Stebbins Bina asked whether he was aware of any health problems Katherine Jackson experienced that prompted her time away. TJ said he’d heard talk about Katherine Jackson having health issues, but he’s not aware of any that she actually has. (AP)

Bina inquired how many times TJ saw or spoke with MJ and the children. He said he spoke with his uncle every other month. TJ definitely remembers seeing MJ at least once in 2009. (ABC7)

Bina asked if TJ draws salary for being MJ's children co-guardian. "It was hard for me to accept it, my grandmother insisted and a couple of months ago I began receiving it," TJ said. (ABC7)

Bina asked about children being more exposed to the media after MJ died, like going on Oprah and Prince working on Entertainment Tonight. "It's difficult, because they are 15 and 16," TJ said. "It's hard to maintain that private life." "It was very important for him to excel in his career," TJ said about Prince. "I didn't release music until I was 16 or 17," TJ said. "I encourage them to be children first." Paris wants to be an actress, Prince says he wants to act then become a producer, TJ explained. Bina: As their guardian you haven't prevented them to be in the public eye TJ: It's hard to do that when he's straight A student with honors. 'If he really wants to do it, 100%, he should be able to do it at 16," TJ said about Prince working on a television show. "I wanted to do for the art of it, I like the quiet, private life," TJ explained."I would say they want to build their own career, and ET is a stepping stone for his acting career," TJ said about Prince. TJ: It's tough, as long as he (Prince) understands his responsibilities and the pitfalls, it's hard to say no (ABC7)

Bina: You didn't go to Carolwood house? TJ: Not before MJ died (ABC7)

TJ said the last time he saw MJ alive was in his grandparents anniversary, where most of the family member were there. Bina notes the anniversary happened on May 14, 2009. "He was in a good mood," TJ recalled. "He was happy, he was talking about the kids, making jokes, that stuff." TJ didn't remember MJ being extremely thin then, but said he wasn't concerned to check it."He was just happy and jolly and I was just happy to see him and the kids," TJ said. TJ: We talked primarily about the children, that I wanted more kids, talked about movies.TJ said before MJ left, he asked him if he was going to London. "I said 100% and he said ok, see you there," TJ testified. TJ said MJ was excited that TJ was going to London. TJ said he didn't know if MJ was happy because of tour or for being around his family. "At the dinner, MJ seemed happy," TJ said. "I don't think he would be sad if he was sad," TJ said about MJ during the anniversary dinner. The only time TJ recalled seeing his uncle in 2009 was at the anniversary dinner. (ABC7) Once testimony resumed TJ testified about Katherine and Joe Jackson’s 40th anniversary party. It was the last time he saw his uncle Michael. He said Jackson seemed happy but they didn’t talk about “This Is It” or music or career issues.TJ said he said goodbye to his uncle Michael, who asked if he was headed to London for “This Is It.” TJ said he would see him there. (AP)

Bina asked TJ about MJ's wedding gift to him, which was $30,000 in cash. "He wanted to pay for my wedding, but the wedding passed," TJ said. TJ reluctantly accepted the gift. Bina asked if MJ was in financial difficulties then and couldn't afford the gift. TJ said he didn't know. Bina: Did you ever talk to your uncle about his finances? TJ: No (ABC7)

Bina: Did you consider your uncle to be a private person? TJ: For the most part, yes (ABC7)

Bina: Did you ever see a doctor on Dangerous tour? TJ: No
"I don't remember seeing a doctor in the HIStory tour either," TJ said. (ABC7)

TJ testified he was familiar with Dr. Metzger. He said he had not heard of the drug Propofol before MJ died. "I've heard many rumors about my uncle that were not true," TJ testified. (ABC7)

Bina: You never personally saw substance abuse? TJ: No
TJ said he didn't believe MJ had a substance abuse problem, never saw him take pills.
Bina asked if TJ thought MJ would've told him if he had a drug problem.
"I don't think he would've told me, but I'm not sure. He told me some things, but I don't think so," TJ responded. (ABC7)

"My cousins and I were going to Lakers game, they wanted to go to ESPN zone before the game, and that's when I met Randy Phillips," TJ said. Bina asked if TJ thanked Phillips for getting them tickets. TJ testified he didn't know he got the tickets. But in his deposition, TJ testified he did thank Phillips for the tickets. (ABC7)

Bina asked about MJ's lavish lifestyle. "It's hard to measure myself against my uncle, he was kind of person who loved art, liked collectibles, liked the best of the best" TJ said. But TJ noted MJ wore pajama bottoms, V necks, and Mickey Mouse watches. "Homes I would say yes, he wanted nice homes. Cars yes and no," TJ explained. (ABC7)

TJ said MJ was very important to him, had a lot of influence on him.(ABC7)

Bina: It's hard for you to believe he could've died of drug overdose? TJ: It's hard for me to know that he's dead
Bina: Do you believe your uncle was murdered? TJ: I do
"He (MJ) did tell me and a couple of his brothers he would be murdered because of his position, because he was a target," TJ said.TJ had conversation with MJ about it during mid 90s to mid 2000s. (ABC7)

Stebbins Bina then asked TJ whether he believed his uncle Michael was murdered. “I do,” TJ responded. Michael Jackson told TJ and his brothers a couple times that he thought he would be murdered, he said. He said he didn't believe it at first. “My mother was murdered for money,” TJ said. “I don’t put anything past anyone.” (AP)

"Do you believe your uncle was murdered?" AEG Live attorney Jessica Stebbins Bina asked T.J. Jackson. "I do," he answered. "I believe it because he did tell me and the brothers that he was going to be murdered on a couple of occasions. "He said that just because of his position he was a target." T.J. Jackson had earlier testified that his mother, Delores Jackson, was the victim of murder 19 years ago. "My mother was murdered for money, too, so I don't put that past anyone," he said. (CNN)


Jackson redirect

In re-direct, Boyle said he wanted to talk about the Lakers tickets. Boyle: Did you know at that time that Mr. Phillips had a secret meeting with Dr. Murray? TJ: I didn't know. TJ said they didn't go with Phillips to the Lakers game, he was just there, at the game zone. Boyle: Do you think Jackson's kids should be allowed to go to the Lakers games? TJ: I think they should go anywhere they want. (ABc7)

TJ said he began acting as the children's co-guardian shortly after MJ died. Boyle: Did you do it for four years for free? TJ: It was out of love. TJ said his grandma convinced him to accept payment because he has three kids of his own that are losing a lot of his time. (ABC7)


Taj Jackson testimony

Jackson direct

Deborah Chang did direct examination.Taj, real name Tariano Jackson, II is 39 years old. He is the first grandson. "I was spoiled with love, let's just say that," Taj said. (ABC7)

Taj said he was close to MJ. "My uncle, besides being my musical role model, he was like an older brother to us," Taj explained. "He guided our lives, he was everything," Taj said about MJ. "I feel lost some times because he's not here." "When my mom passed, he stepped in and made sure our whole world didn't crumble," TJ said about MJ. MJ helped us with school, Taj said, paid for his college. He encouraged his nephew do it for his mother, to make her proud. Taj said his mother and father were very much in love, but separated. "They loved each other, I never understood the problem." "My mom really looked up to my uncle, leaned on him a lot," Taj testified. "He loved the way that she raised us." "It was known she put us first," Taj said. Dolores (DD) Jackson was Taj's mom's name. (ABC7)

Taj said he stayed at Neverland many times. "Neverland to me, he (MJ) always let us know, it was to help people," Taj explained. "My uncle didn't eat candy, it was for the sick children he was bringing to Neverland," Taj explained. Taj said MJ would take hundreds of people from Make a Wish foundation. "He wanted to make them better, he felt that he could." Ryan White became poster child for HIV/AIDS Taj said. This was during the time we were all terrified about it; Ryan was kicked out of school."They had a really strong relationship," Taj said, explaining MJ took Ryan to Neverland, went into the pool with him. "It was Disneyland," Taj said about Neverland. "He named the train station after my grandma, Katherine. There's a plaque with her name." After Ryan White died, Taj said MJ dedicated the song "Gone Too Soon" to him. Chang played the video clip of the song. (ABC7)

Taj: Michael taught us that being a musician and having the influence not only to make music but to make a change in the world. "He was constantly trying to help people," Taj said, adding there were lots of things the media didn't know about MJ. (ABC7)

“I was the first Jackson to go to college, he was so proud of that," Taj said. Taj also attended Buckley School, went to Loyola Marymount college, studying Music, Film and TV. He needs to finish the last year of school. Chang: Was he your mentor? Taj: Yes, definitely. Taj said his dad Tito was his mentor at baseball. He coached their little league team. (ABC7)

Taj said he shared three things with MJ: Music, Film and the Three Stooges, which Michael loved. "He bought me my first camera," Taj said. He shot home video of his mother and brothers while she was still alive in 1994. "I keep my most sentimental things in my safe," Taj explained about a note he has from MJ. Note: Taj, I saw these and thought they were perfect for you. Love always, Uncle Doo Doo (ABc7)

Taj said MJ was very close with Lionel Richie. Played snippet video of 3T. Taj co-directed their last video for album brotherhood. Chang played a snippet of it, quite funny video. Some jurors were laughing. Chang: Was your uncle proud of you? Taj: Yes, very proud (ABC7)

Taj said he lived at Neverland for 6 months. He said his grandma was there all the time. (ABC7)

Taj said MJ asked him to help raise the children. Taj said he was just about to begin your with 3T and MJ understood it. Taj became the person in charge of MJ's storage and belongings. (ABC7)

Chang asked Taj who was MJ's mentor: "Definitely my grandma, he would tell me that, you could see it, I sensed that," Taj responded. "My mom was my mentor and my mom's mentor was my grandma," Taj said. "They all shared the purity in their heart," Taj explained."My grandma was my uncle's compass in life," Taj said. "He was constantly trying to make her proud of him." (ABC7)

Taj said having children was something they encouraged MJ, since they thought he was going to be a great father. "It lit him up, that's what he lived for, his kids and my grandma," Taj said. (ABC7)

When MJ died, Taj said they stepped in right away."I think it's more difficult because my uncle to them was both father and mother, he was everything for them," Taj said. "When you lose a parent, your life is never the same again," Taj expressed. He said it hurts specially during milestones moments in his life. "I just got married," Taj said, crying. "And my mom wasn't there." Taj told the jury they chose to marry at Hayvenhurst because it was the place his mom and his uncle would be. Taj got married on June 16. He said he had a vase with a candle in it lit for his mother. Taj said he and his brothers wrote the song "Everything" at Hayvenhurst. Judge breaks for afternoon session. Katherine wipes her eyes. (ABC7)

Taj Jackson is 39, is TJ’s older brother and a member of 3T. “I feel lost because he’s not here,” Taj Jackson of his uncle Michael. He added, “When my mom passed, he stepped in and just made sure that our whole world didn't crumble.” He broke down when he described the impact of losing a parent. He cited them being gone for major milestones. Taj cited his wedding last weekend. He held it at the Jackson family’s Hayvenhurst home in Encino. Taj said he wanted to have it in a “place where both my uncle and my mom would be.” (AP)

---------------------------------------

Attorneys and the judge discussed extensively about things that one side wants to show the jury but the other side doesn't. Judge adjourned session early for the jury. They are ordered back tomorrow morning at 10 am PT. (ABC7)

Shortly after this, there was an afternoon break and they held a sidebar hearing over notes that Taj was going to testify about. One of the notes was from Paris to her father, expressing happiness that she got a hug. The judge ruled it couldn’t be shown to jury.
Another note that Jackson wrote about something Blanket said at age 6 will be shown to jury, but with his age will be redacted. Plaintiff’s attorneys argued that the notes were “classic wrongful death evidence” and should be allowed in. The Jackson vs AEG Live trial ended for the day on arguments about whether Phil Anschutz could be ordered to come testify. Judge denied it. (AP)

"Paris is not going to be testifying," lawyer Deborah Chang told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos while the jury was out of the courtroom. "We have a little girl in so much pain right now, she cannot come," Chang said. Chang confirmed Paris won't take the witness stand as she argued to admit a handwritten note the King of Pop's daughter purportedly wrote to her dad in the months before his death. "Dead Daddy, I love you so much & I'm so glad I got a goodnight hug," the note reads. "Sleep well. I love you & good night. I'll see you tomorrow! XOX Goodnight. Lots of love, Paris Jackson". Chang argued that the pencil-written note depicts how Paris "felt about her father" and the great love they shared. A lawyer for AEG objected that it was hearsay, and the judge agreed. The note was not admitted as evidence. (NYDailyNews)

Karen Faye will resume her testimony tomorrow from a few weeks back. (ABC7)

The Jacksons vs. AEG Live — Zeugen der Jacksons, 31. Teil

2. Juli 2013

Am letzten Freitag fuhr AEG Live Anwalt Marvin Putnam mit seinem Kreuzverhör von Karen Faye fort. Gestern rief Jackson Anwalt Brian Panish mit Personalberaterin Jean Seawright eine weitere Expertenzeugin für die Jackson Seite in den Zeugenstand.

Am letzten Freitag wurde Karen Faye, Michaels langjährige Hair & Make-up Artist und langjährigen gute Freundin, nach sieben Wochen seit ihrer ersten Befragung zurück in den Zeugenstand gerufen. AEG Lives Anwalt Marvin Putnam wollte mit seinem Kreuzverhör weiterfahren, das sieben Wochen zuvor abgebrochen wurde. Was Putnam mit seiner Befragung bezweckte bzw. für seine Seite herausholte oder holen wollte, ist (auf jeden Fall auf den ersten Blick) nicht ersichtlich. Es gab, wenn man den Bericht der LA Times liest, weder neue Informationen noch kam es soweit, dass Karen frühere Aussagen ihrerseits widerrief bzw. korrigierte. Ein Grossteil der Befragung schien sich um die diversen Perücken von Michael drehen. Weshalb das von Interesse und vor allem von Relevanz sein soll, das wissen die (AEG) Götter. Wer interessiert ist, kann hier http://teammichaeljackson.com/archives/8898 das Protokoll von Karen Fayes Kreuzverhör nachlesen.

Gestern rief Jackson Anwalt Brian Panish einen weiteren Experten für ihre Seite in den Zeugenstand: Jean Seawright, eine Personalberaterin. Seawright sagte aus, dass nach Durchsicht der Unterlagen, AEG Live es unterlassen hatte, das angemessene Anstellungsprozedere bei der Wahl von Conrad Murray anzuwenden, ungeachtet dessen, ob er als Angestellter von AEG Live oder als selbständiger Unternehmer betrachtet wird. Conrad Murrays Rolle wurde von Seawright als eine Position mit “sehr hohem Risiko” beschrieben, wenn man die damit verbundenen Pflichten in Betracht zieht (inkl. Zugang zur Krankengeschichte von Michael Jackson und dessen privates Leben). Ein Unternehmen, das sich korrekt verhält, wenn es um die Personalanstellung geht, wägt die Risiken ab, die mit der Stelle verbunden sind. Als Brian Panish seine Zeugin fragte, ob sie der Meinung sei, dass AEG Live dies gemacht habe, antwortete sie, dass sie keine Beweise gesehen habe, die dies bestätigen würden. Wie bereits einige Male zuvor, wurde auch hier die E-Mail von AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips an Kenny Ortega zum Diskussionspunkt. Es handelte sich um die E-Mail, in der Phillips Ortega geschrieben hatte, dass Murray ein sehr erfolgreicher Arzt wäre und sie jeden, den sie anstellen überprüfen. Phillips schrieb in der E-Mail auch, dass Murray diesen Job nicht brauche und er daher total unbefangen sei. Gemäss Seawright weise die E-Mail darauf hin, dass Phillips die Kriterien für diesen Job kannte und dass AEG ein Prozedere aufgesetzt hatte, um (potentielle) Mitarbeiter zu überprüfen. Sie habe jedoch in den Unterlagen nichts gesehen, dass bestätigen könnte, dass AEG damals Murrays Background überprüft hatte. Und nun hätten sie, salopp gesagt, den Salat.

The Jacksons vs. AEG Live — Was letzte Woche sonst noch Interessantes lief

2. Juli 2013

Zwei Ersatzgeschworene berichteten der vorsitzenden Richterin am Freitag, dass während einer Pause eine Frau mit ihnen Kontakt aufgenommen hatte.

Ersatzgeschworener Nr. 1 sagte, die Frau habe gesagt “Bitte gebt ihnen (den Jacksons) kein Geld”. Dem Ersatzgeschworenen Nr. 5 habe sie gesagt: “Ich wollte nur sagen, dass Sie ihnen kein Geld zusprechen sollen”. Beide Ersatzgeschworenen sagten, der Zwischenfall würde ihre Fähigkeit, ein faires Urteil in diesem Prozess zu fällen, nicht beeinträchtigen.

Kommentar von jackson.ch: Wie bereits bei den Anschuldigungen von Wade Robson sowie den neuen Anschuldigungen in der Boulevardpresse (siehe unsere heutige Meldung dazu), ist neben dem Inhalt das Timing höchst interessant — und suspekt.

Interessant war auch AEG Lives Reaktion auf die obigen Ereignisse. So nahm AEG Anwalt Marvin Putnam diese zum Anlass zu beantragen, dass die Richterin die Zahl der Michael Jackson Fans, die im Gang zum Gerichtssaal Michael Jackson T-Shirts und Schilder zur Unterstützung von Katherine Jackson tragen, reduzieren möge. Richterin Palazuelos wies den Antrag ab mit der Begründung, dass die Jackson Fans das Recht auf freie Meinungsäusserung hätten und sie dieses Recht nicht einschränken kann. Manchmal nimmt es mich ja schon Wunder, was in Putnams Kopf vorgeht. Aber vermutlich ist es besser, wenn wir das nicht wissen.

Michael Jackson was not abusing pain medication in years leading up to comeback tour deal with AEG Live, says doctor

Michael Jackson missbrauchte keine Schmerz Medikamenmte in den Jahren vor seiner Comeback Tour, sagt ein Arzt.


Michael Jackson apparently was clean and not abusing pain medication in the years leading up to his comeback tour deal with concert promoter AEG Live, a Connecticut doctor testified Wednesday.

Dr. Sidney Schnoll based his opinion on medical records stating the King of Pop only needed 100 milligrams of the narcotic pain medication Demerol to knock him out for a dermatology procedure in late 2008.

Dr. Sidney Schnoll begründet seine Meinung auf den medizinischen Aufzeichnungen, die besagen, dass Mj nur 100mg Demerol benötigte, um ihn in einer OP 2008 zu betäuben.
Schnoll sagt, würde eine zu hohe Toleranz afgebnaut haben, dass diese Dosis wirkenwürde, wenn er Opiate missbraucht hätte ab dem Prozess 2005.
„Er hätte dann viel höhere Dosen Demerol nehmen müssen, um den nötigen Effekt für eine OP zu erzielen.“ sagt Schnoll den Juroren.

Schnoll said Jackson would have built up too much tolerance for that dose to work if he frequently abused opioids during the era of his 2005 molestation trial and subsequent travels abroad.
“He would have to take a much higher dose of Demerol to get the (necessary) effect for the surgery," Schnoll told jurors.
The New Jersey-born doctor was acting as a paid expert witness for Jackson’s mother, Katherine.

Der Arzt sagt als bezahlter Experte für Jacksons Muter Katherine aus.

Katherine Jackson, 83, is suing AEG Live for wrongful death, claiming the concert promoter negligently hired Dr. Conrad Murray as tour physician and set the stage for her son’s fatal 2009 overdose on the surgery-strength anesthetic propofol.
AEG vehemently denies any wrongdoing, saying Jackson personally hired Murray and begged for secret, bedroom-based infusions of the intravenous drug he called “milk.”

During his testimony, Schnoll said he didn’t believe Michael was an addict who craved and used drugs recreationally. Rather he was a patient who developed an opioid dependence because of legitimate pain related to his burned scalp.
He said plenty of celebrities have suffered opioid dependence, including President John F. Kennedy, who had debilitating back pain.
Schnoll said Jackson even got a Narcan implant in his abdomen in 2003 that steadily released Naltrexone, a drug that blocks the euphoric effects of opioids.

Während seiner Aussage sagt Schnoll, er glaube nicht, dass MJ ein Süchtiger war, der Drogen zum Spass ("Freizeitdrogen") gebrauchte. Er war vielmehr ein Patient, der eine Opiat -Abhängigkeit entwickelt hatte auf Grund von Schmerzen, die er von seiner Kopfverbrennung hatte.
Er sagte dass viele Celebrities Opiat Abhängigkeiten haben, incl. Präsident J.F. Kennedy, der unter Rückenschmerzen litt.
Schnoll sagt, MJ habe 2003 sogar ein Narcan Implantat bekommen, welches konstant Naltrexon abgibt, ein Medikament, was die euphorisierenden Effekte von Opiaten blockiert.
