Michael Jackson News: Jury Selection in the Conrad Murray Trial Is Not Actually News

All of you need to get a life! The fact that you wasted so much time defending a played out, deceased pop star is just crazy. Please find a hobby immediately!

First, Rae needs to try to do a little more research and cut out what she must deem cutesy with her  ‘gasp, Wow and sweet baby Jesus” as it isn’t the least bit clever. She used a lot of words to describe what she entitled "not actually news". Let’s break down the beginning of her opinion piece in simple terms. Jury selection for a manslaughter case is NOT “music news”, the Conrad Murray manslaughter case just happens to be of worldwide interestdue to the victim in the case. Secondly, many major news outlets also coveredthe reporting on the jury selection prior to the Casey Anthony and ScottPeterson trials   intensively. This is how reporting on a case of great notoriety is normally done, because it’s NEWS.

Further down she speaks of Michael inciting frenzy by “dancing on the roof of a car’. Again, a little research on Youtube where videos of Michael Jackson at court abound, would keep her from making yet another erroneous statement.  He did get on top of the SUV, but hemerely tapped his foot, blew kisses to the hundreds of fans and directed hiscameraman on what shots to take. No dancing what so ever. This “dancing on theroof of the car” is a lie that has been repeated incessantly by many. 

She again misspeaks regarding her phrase “where his second child molestation case.” There were not two ‘cases’ brought against Michael. Recorded documentation shows thatthere was only ONE molestation case, because even after two grand juriesconvened in 93, no charges were ever brought. Court transcripts prove that TomMesereau deftly demonstrated that the accusers in the 05 trial were habitualscammers, who perjured themselves and lied about what happened within NeverlandRanch and Tom Sneddon was a DA obsessed with conviction without having evidenceor credible witnesses.

There are also many videos depicting the Berlin incident, by any dictionary definition of the word, he clearly did not “dangle” his baby.  He said later, he was caught up in the excitement of showing his baby to the admiring crowd and realized it was a “terrible mistake” to hold him over the balcony. Again, the media continues to copy and paste this term like ‘dangle’ to set a image in the mind of the public.

Rae takes the expected route by first attacking Michael Jackson and then his fans. This is another time worn tactic of the press to first dismiss him as “bizarre” and then his fans as on the fringe of “insanity”.  It is person’s right to be “presumed innocent” and this wouldhold true for Jackson and Murray who BOTH “pleaded not guilty by the way”. Itwould hardly be considered a form of insanity for his fans to cheer for hisinnocence. In these two instances, only difference between them is, Michael’s case was heard and resulted in his innocence being upheld, a fact that Rae doesn’t seem toaccept or comprehend, as she continues to throw aspersions in his direction.

What’s more ironic when reading her admonishment of his fans touting his innocence.  Charles Thomson in the Huffington Post,  substantiated extensively that media already had Michael Jackson convicted before a single witness took the stand.  So we might assume that Rae believes that “baying for the blood”  “before all the evidence is heard” is okay depending on who is doing the baying or whohappens to be on trial.

Ultimately, as it turned out after all of the evidence and testimony was given Michael was cleared on ALL counts, therefore his fans were correct in their ‘vehement’ assertions.     “No one wants to believe that Michael Jackson had an addiction…..etc”  Surely Rae jests or perhaps she doesn't even own a television. Actually the media princesses like Dimond have done nothing but perpetuate the myth that MJ was a drug addict. They find it difficult take into consideration the fact that he was under physicians care for most of his life, for a very serious and painful autoimmune disease: lupus.

She continues with “We’re not saying that Michael doesn’t deserve to be defended – we won’t know that until the facts of this case are heard.”  Again, Rae needs to remember that Michael Jackson is NOT on trial, Murray is the defendant and her incessant negativityin describing Michael and her inferring that he is somehow responsible for hisown death is truly astounding. The fact that Michael has to be defended when heis victim of another person’s incompetence, disregard and carelessness isexactly why he has “fiery defenders.”

Perhaps Rae should do a little reading up on the coroner’s report that resulted in a ‘homicide’ investigation or maybe read and try to understand that the charges were brought against Murray, because of evidence.  Truth be told the fact that Michael Jackson is the victim might indeed by a boon for Murray as she and other “writers” and I use the term loosely, make needlessly negative opinion pieces such as this.  The best way to treat someone as less that worthy of being protected is to degrade, dehumanize and attack them with words like ‘bizarre’ and ‘insane’ just as Rae did in this article.  As soon asyou convince the majority of the inferiority of the person it’s much easier forthem to disregard the value of their life. 

This article surely indicates that this was her intention.

I'm still trying to figure out the writer's theme or intention here.  This article is filed under the category: "Being Famous Sucks". I'm going to conclude that filing it under this title means that it's okay to write trash. Thanks for helping our culture swirl the drain. 

Wonder what this writer's credentials are.  Yet another trying to come off as a journalist.  The gross lack of knowledge runs rampant in this "article".  The sad thing is that Rae Alexandra really has no clue as to how much she doesn't know here.  But her cut and paste skills are pretty good.   

Murray deserves a fair trial, however there are no circumstances where a doctor should anesthetize his patient in their bedroom.  Murray grossly deviated from the std of care for propofol.  Propofol is not to be used for insomnia period.

There are people who are born to be kings and Michael is one of them!

First, we DO care about MIchael Jackson and Second, please don't call yourself a journalist because you are NOT. The main reason? You are not even able to do some research. It is not believe or not believe, Michael Jackson was ACQUITTED by ALL charges and beyond any reasonable doubt. So, what do you still wondering yourself ?? Btw, don't worry your friend Murry is going to have a fair trial and is going to go rightly straight to jail because he is GUILTY AS SIN, just as Michael Jackson IS INNOCENT.

Well, you know what? It's your fault.

You claim there's no evidence about this case. That's not true. The Preliminary Hearing was held in January 2011, where 22 witnesses talked about what happened on June 25th and the days before that. We have official transcripts of those days.

Not to mention the many official documents avalaible online: autopsy, search warrant, etc.

If you don't care about it why write this? And if you care, why can't you first analyse the info avalaible and then say whether or not there's evidence in this case?

Also, not all the fans are or think alike. They wil be out supporting someone they love (we're free, did you know that?). And they will be there because they know about this case.

Not everyone will take this "journalistic blog" as professional.  Why?  http://mjandjustice4some.blogs...   Read and LEARN...

1.)  "If this was the lead story on many of  the major music sites, gossip sites, and blogs yesterday, just think of the media circus that is coming our way when something interesting actually happens in this case. It makes us want to throw our TVs out the window just thinking about it." 

And so... why did YOU write about it?  Why didn't YOU throw your TV out the window?

2.)  "No one wants to believe that Michael Jackson had an addiction to a variety of hardcore medications any more than they wanted to believe that Michael Jackson had inappropriate relationships with children"

Apparently your TV was turned off in 2005 wasn't it?  Apparently you never learned the FACTS.  Mr. Jackson was ACQUITTED of all charges in 2005.  Do some desperately needed homework, please.

As for your insinuation that Mr. Jackson was a drug addict...  Apparently you've never read nor did homework on his autopsy findings as well.  HINT:  There is no indication that Mr. Jackson was a drug addict at the time of his death.

ADVISEMENT:  Before you tout yourself as a journalist, please remember that more and more readers are standing up and demanding accountability for the lack of professionalism and slandering that goes on in your vocation.  In your case?  Perhaps you need to find a new job.
