An aide giving Demerol to MJ too soon after diprivan (sp?) just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Diprivan is administered by IV... wouldn't the "aide" (never heard there was another person there that morning, except for security) have seen the drip? If it was dripping, MJ would've been "sleeping." If it wasn't dripping and MJ had woken up and asked for the Demerol, the Diprivan would've been out of his system (according the descriptions on how little time it stays in your system) so what would be the big deal unless it was a flat-out OD on Demerol and had nothing to do with Diprivan. It does makes sense, though, to the extent Conrad vehemently denied giving him anything that would've killed him. As usual, JMO.

Good morning everyone. I see this case is taking a very strange twist. No wonder they have delayed the tox release, it is going to take quite awhile to fully investigage this death.

I am troubled by the reports that apparently Katherine Jackson is going to contest the arrangements that Michael made as to whom would be the executors of his will.

Also, according to different attorneys, this action by KJ would indeed go against the no contest clause in Michael's will.

I think Joe Jackson is going to be very much a part of Katherine's life from now on.

I think CW accidentally locked the 8/3 thread she started by splitting off from the end of 8/2. Hope its ok to post this.

today will be the custody heariing and also i believe the judge will make a permanent decision on the executors of the estate which KJ is trying to challenge.

TMZ has a live streaming feed outside the courthouse. I'm sure these pompous lawyers will have a comment or two when it's over.

I believe the hearing will be closed to the public, it involves kids so I assume this is off limits to us. moo

I am wondering which sisters are expected to be there. I see that Randy has arrived...

:lol: well i think we all should be today given the information that will probably give us a lot to discuss in the case itself.

[CinderL.]

How are you seeing it?

I can't see a darn thing!

I don't have the live feed anymore, but it is just outside of the courthouse anyway. Maybe they will have it again after the hearing. :shrug:

[CinderL.]

From TMZ


11:56 AM ET -- Katherine, Randy and La Toya were escorted upstairs to the court room. La Toya is wearing a black jacket, slacks, and a white blouse. Katherine is wearing a brown suit, looking calm ... and chewing gum.

I dont understand the need for a description of what each is wearing unless its a fashion show. jmo

It certainly does help when video and pics aren't the best, especially when they are coming and going IMO. Remembering what they are wearing is an easy way to identify when the pics are unclear. :smile:

Per TMZ


12:37 -- The judge just named Katherine permanent guardian of all three kids

True!

Vagal thanks for the info on the hearing.

I am dumbfounded at Klein being there to lodge an objection as "close to MJ" about the guardian ship.. wtf???? :mad: Either he says he might be the bio dad or he stays out of it, since when does a freaking doctor or even friend try and interfere like this as a 3rd party between a bio mom and an appointed guardian?

[vagal]

More from TMZ

12:42 The judge has just granted 83.5% of what was requested for the children's allowance. Specific amounts were not discussed.

12:41 -- The lawyers are now discussing the allowance for Jackson's three kids.

12:40 -- Debbie Rowe will have visitation rights with her two kids and will continue getting spousal support based on the agreement she struck with Michael several years ago.

12:39 -- The judge granted Katherine a financial allowance for 6 months retro from the time Michael died. The amount of the allowance wasn't discussed in open court.

[mrsmcgoo]

Per TMZ


12:37 -- The judge just named Katherine permanent guardian of all three kids

I am really confused!

First it was reported temporary guardianship, or at least that is what DR's lawyer requested. Then it is being stated by TMZ, permanent guardianhip. So, this would mean DR will no future chance for guardianhip. :confused:

[mrsmcgoo]

I believe there may have been a discussion between 12:26 and 12:37 and it has been determined that KJ will have permanent custody and DR will have scheduled visitation rights. Something minor probably had to be cleared up and it was probably out of court discusson since it involved the children. JMHO

Thanks, I guess that is what happened.

[VC2]

I am really confused!

Right. DR's attorney suggested the Judge delay ruling on permanent guardianship, judge disagreed and gave permanent custody to Katherine. Best for the children, until permanent guardianship is established they cannot feel safe where they are. Since the two did come to an agreement there was no reason to delay making the guardianship permanent and in fact good reason to do it immediately. Those 3 kids don't need to keep wondering if they will be taken from one house to another where they hardly know the person, kids need safety especially after the trauma of the custodial parent dying.

I think the request had more to do with klein or something up his sleeve than anything. They had an agreement, then suddenly klein wanted standing..remember that the good doctor *snark* said the first thing he did when he heard MJ was dead was call DR and tell her to get a lawyer or something, it was on LKL when he was a guest.

certainly gives credence to a possibility of his being bio dad but then i look at the kids and just cannot see it lol. not at all..the two oldest look nothing like a combo of DR and Klein. Not that it matters, just trying to figure why he thinks he should have had any standing in it!

Yep, I'm thinking it might have had something to do with the continuation of payments to DR by the estate myself, but that's JMO. Without knowing for sure if the judge would grant the payments, I don't think DR would have just signed off on a custody arrangement if it wasn't in her best interest or that of the children for that matter. JMO again. :unsure:

[mrsmcgoo]

VC, also....just thinking here...But remembering DR visiting Klein's office just last week or abouts.

His fifteen minutes are over as far as I'm concerned VC. He really knows how to milk some things and if he helped to enable MJ, then whatever happens to him is well deserved IMOO. But I think all the conspiracies about the egg and the sperm will remain unknown unless something much bigger comes along.

I hope for those children to have all they need in love, counseling and bonding with what's left of a family for them. The entire tragedy is simply something that will shape their lives and they need many good thoughts and prayers IMO. :wub:

"12:18 -- The judge wants to know what legal standing Klein has -- this could force the issue over whether he's the daddy."

http://www.tmz.com/2009/08/03/michael-jackson-estate-hearing-guardianship-debbie-rowe/

I knew it. I knew from the beginning on that there's something about the gossip he's the biological father.

It was too weird when Klein offered to do an dna test (LKL interview) because if he donated anonymously the chance that he's the father by coincidence converges to zero. He IS the biological father imo.

[CinderL.]

The judge has already ruled that Klein has no legal standing. He is not in the picture at all. Don't need any more rumors.
He is not the father. JMO

Thank goodness for that. That would sure add to the circus.

[GentleBreeze]

That is great news. Seems like this Judge is a no nonsense Judge and quickly rules and goes on with the next issue.

imo

[CinderL.]

For sure. :)

I am so happy that KJ and DR came to an agreement. It made it much easier for the judge to make a decision and is better for the children that they are not in limbo. I am also glad she is getting visitation with the children. The children have a right to know she is their mother. JMO

I agree with you.

[GentleBreeze]

According to Ted Rowlands, CNN the 30 minute break was for the lawyers to discuss the issues about KJ being involved in decisions re: the estate and present what they have come up with after returning. Should be shortly.

~Soure CNN News / Ted Rowlands

Jamie Floyd is also getting ready to have an update.

ITA. he has a reputation for that, and being very strong on "best interests of the children". from everything i have heard, he is a straight shooter and might have been assigned the case for that reason given how high profile it is.

[VC2]

This is at the heart of it re: KJ wanting to be either a 3rd party with the Executors or to be kept more in the loop:

Katherine Jackson's attorneys filed a petition last week accusing the men who now control the estate of being "intent on keeping her in the dark" about deals they've made or are negotiating.

Londell McMillan, Jackson's lead attorney, raised questions about "a suspicious circle of relationships" involving John Branca, the singer's longtime personal attorney, and John McClain, a music industry executive and longtime friend.

Howard Weitzman, one of the attorneys for Branca and McClain, said they've provided "timely information to Mrs. Jackson's counsel regarding potential business opportunities for the estate."

"Any inference that we have not been forthcoming in providing information to Katherine Jackson's attorneys is not accurate," Weitzman said.

Beckloff gave Branca and McClain temporary control of the estate until Monday's hearing.

Katherine Jackson is asking the judge to order Branca, McClain and others to answer questions under oath about their business agreements to determine whether they are "fit and able" to administer the estate. The men also were served with a 19-page demand for documents.

Branca has refused to let Katherine Jackson see 's contracts with AEG -- the company that was organizing and promoting his planned concerts in London, England -- unless she agrees to keep them confidential. Branca's attorney argued in a court filing that he has no choice, since the contracts have a provision requiring confidentiality.

"There is one agreement being requested by Mrs. Jackson's attorneys where the other party to the contract has agreed to provide the document to Mrs. Jackson and her attorneys but requested that the terms be kept confidential and not be shared with third parties," Branca's lawyer said. "Mrs. Jackson's lawyers have refused that offer."

Branca's attorneys also argued that Jackson's demand for documents was too broad and burdensome.

IMO, if Klein is the biological father and can prove that, he can gumm up the works but good.

[VC2]

IMO, if Klein is the biological father and can prove that, he can gumm up the works but good.

He had the opportunity to file for standing today based on a paternity presumption or challenge, and chose not to do so. I think that means its a moot issue now. hope so anyway

Hi scamp! :)

[GentleBreeze]

IMO, if Klein is the biological father and can prove that, he can gumm up the works but good.

I don't think he stands a snowball chance in he**.

Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe are the recorded parents on the two oldest children's birth certificate and were legally married at the time.

They are the legally recognized parents and Klein has no standing.

imo

[CinderL.]

Just curious. At this point in time would it make any difference (legally) if he was the "sperm donor?"

I don't think it matters who the sperm donor was...MJ was the legal father. Plus, I think Kline has other things to worry about right now. IMO

[VC2]

Just curious. At this point in time would it make any difference (legally) if he was the "sperm donor?"

under Cali's law probably never. As GB pointed out if there is no challenge to the parentage within two years of birth to a child born within a marriage then the legal parents remain the ones on the birth certificate. As it should be imo.

You see how seriously they take this when they order child support payments in a divorce from the non biological father when bio father has either stepped forward or the legal dad has been proven not to be the bio dad. Many a man is paying support for their children even though there is a known bio father, because they took on the responsibility during the 2 years and signed the certificate. IOW if you look like a duck and quack like a duck for 2 years, then you are a duck dad.

Also cases where there bio dad wanted custody and did not get it because they waited longer than the two years.

Makes sense, if a child has had a legal "daddy" for years and grown up with them, its not exactly healthy to take them from their parents home albeit no bio dad there and say you must live with this strangerwho donated sperm. at the same time the parents - be it mom or dad - are responsible for the children they raise and consider their own

I wonder what the heck Kline is up to?? I would think with the police looking into his affairs, he would be more worried about that. No way IMO would he have any say in those children.

[CinderL.]

2:50 -- The judge has ruled that AEG has to provide a copy of their contract with Michael to Katherine Jackson.

I wonder if she was made to sign the confidentiality clause?

ETA: Probably not, because if Kathrine has the contract all of the Jackson's will see it.

Hmmm, seems very strange. He sure does seem to think he has a claim for some reason. I hope we get to hear what his reason is. :smile:

[retiredcop]

3:00 -- The judge just admitted Jackson's 2002 will into probate. The will names John Branca and John McClain as co-executors. We know Katherine has a beef with that. The question -- will she challenge the co-executors or possibly ask that she be named as a third executor. Court is in recess for an hour-and-a half. Stay tuned.

Were are you getting your information? Is there a live feed? Are the executors now permanent?

Thank you. Well if the Judge has admitted the Will he thinks it is totally valid and that means the co-executors will become permanent.

He will give KJ rights to see the contracts that MJ had and probably a workup on what the executors plan to do in order to increase the estate.

imo

[CinderL.]

Don't know, but they are in the will, so I am guessing yes.

[GentleBreeze]

Looks like the Judge is moving the case right along. Imo yes they will be permanent but he will give KJ the rights to certain information but she will not be the one in charge of how money is made or paid in and out of the estate.

I will keep up my initial personal belief that he's the biological father (without any legal rights). Imo he wants a piece of the big cake -- anyhow.

I've always thought there's something "special" about the relationship and between Klein and Michael Jackson some sort of dependence imo.

I could imagine he will address the media again if he's shot down in the court room.

[GentleBreeze]

How does an aide give a demerol shot without consulting with his Doctor first? If this is true -- then this is murder and no accident IMO. :ohmy:

If it originated for The Sun I will wait and see if the Associated Press reports before I even consider believing this tale.

If the Dr. gave MJ the propofol, and then stopped it and went to bed, MJ would have awakened almost right away as soon as the drip stopped. So would MJ have asked someone else to give him a shot of Demerol?

[GentleBreeze]

Yes, since the Judge is recognizing this is THE Will he will adhere to the wishes and intents of MJ.

The only way an administrator could be tossed is after they took over they commit fraud or took money for themselves that wasn't theirs to take.

I think these two men are very competent.

One of the very first TMZ reports was that he got a demerol shot.

Well since none of the Jackson family were even there I will take that as one of Joe's goofball statements.

http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/26/jackson-family-demerol-shot-caused-death/

The aide should have checked with the doctor before administering the Demoral? Maybe there was just some sort of unusual reaction this time. Maybe his heart just couldn't take it anymore.

in my opinion

[CinderL.]

That's what "The Sun" said. Read link above.

I read it. So, did Dr. Murray leave MJ with the drip going, and someone came upon a sleeping MJ hooked up to IV's and gave him the demerol, or was MJ awake and asked for it?

[who_is_it]

According to my Thesaurus, they are one in the same. Murder = Homicide and Homicide = Murder.

Could be that it's different in my own country where homicide means someone was killed accidentally and murder that someone was killed intentionally. I've read that there's also murder 2 in the US if someone dies in consequence of reckless actions.

[retiredcop]

But will all of the Jackson's sign it?

My guess is anything the executors show Katherine is to be confidential. She will probably sign the confidential agreement covering everything.
She would be ultimately responsible for the family seeing it and blabbing it. I would think only her lawyer and herself would be seeing the papers.

in my opinion

[who_is_it]

Sorry..but I dont care much for Klein..and would not be at all surprised his whole reasons have to do with money..He is one shady character..and I wouldnt trust him as far as I could throw him..and that isnt far!!

I wonder if he has some "inside info"..that the Jacksons dont want to be known to the public?..I wouldnt be shocked....This whole case is full of "IFFY" sorts...course most are involved as per MJ's directives....Hummm

LMS

BTW.. that shot of Demerol just doesnt ring true to me..Dont know why?..Just too convenient for Dr. M..hummmming

Lynda, I think there is ANYTHING -- whatever it is.

Inside info about the treatments (plastic surgery, skin)...
or about any arrangements with DR....
or that he's the bio dad...
or about drug addiction... --

... anything which the public should not know.

Imo he appears as one of the shadiest players in the Jackson saga and therefore I DO care.

in my opinion I hope so, if they want it to be confidential. Don't let Joe see it.

[retiredcop]

It's unclear to me whether "aide" is an aide to Dr Murray or one of MJ's aides? As in one of his staff members.

Dr Murray was through with administering the diprivan and removed the IV ect. going to bed. The aide comes along and administers the Demoral as is usually done every day.

Mr Jackson's body just couldn't take it anymore and gave out.

Just a guess.

in my opinion

[retiredcop]

I hope so, if they want it to be confidential. Don't let Joe see it.

Oh for sure, and if the lawyer and Katherine are dumb enough to show Joe anything, the leak would be obvious. It would still come back to Katherine if that happens.

in my opinion

[CinderL.]

What bothers me is that obviously MJ cannot confirm he was awake? Just a thought .... What time did Dr. Murray disconnect MJ from the diprivan and fall asleep? I thought it was reported the IV was still hooked up when Dr. Murray found him? This doesn't sound right :confused:

Jackson is feared to have woken when the effects wore off and demanded pain relief.

The Demerol was duly administered by the compliant aide - with devastating effects.

[who_is_it]

What bothers me is that obviously MJ cannot confirm he was awake? Just a thought .........

Jackson is feared to have woken when the effects wore off and demanded pain relief.

The Demerol was duly administered by the compliant aide - with devastating effects.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2568359/Aide-killed-Jacko-with-Demerol-hit-as-doctor-Conrad-Murray-slept.html

Without re-reading what was discussed here at the board some days ago I just remember:

It was discussed the possibility if CM himself could have given MJ a demerol shot or other drugs at a time he was dead already. (Other staffers were not discussed.)

(I think it wouldn't be possible or at least provable in the autopsy... but I have no medical knowledge).

[who_is_it]

Bold by me: I have never in my life heard in any English speaking country that homicide means accidentally killing someone. Accidentally killing someone is usually considered some degree of manslaughter.

My native language isn't English I'm not from an English speaking country. I just can rely on my dictionary; homicide is translated by the same word as manslaughter. -- So I conclude there's manslaughter (accidental) and murder (intentional).

[Kathlb]

Dr Murray was through with administering the diprivan and removed the IV ect. going to bed. The aide comes along and administers the Demoral as is usually done every day.

Mr Jackson's body just couldn't take it anymore and gave out.

Just a guess.

in my opinion

Call me paranoid, but it sounds like an "after the fact" made up story to get everyone off the hook. I'm not buying it at all just yet. I keep waiting to hear someone shout "YEAH, that's the ticket!!" like John Lovett on Saturday Night Live.

[CinderL.]

What bothers me is that obviously MJ cannot confirm he was awake? Just a thought .... What time did Dr. Murray disconnect MJ from the diprivan and fall asleep? I thought it was reported the IV was still hooked up when Dr. Murray found him? This doesn't sound right :confused:

I thought it was reported that the IV was still hooked up too. And if Dr. Murray unhooked it then MJ would have woken up right away. Wouldn't he have asked Dr. M then for the pain shot?

in my opinion

And that is why Dr. M changed the morning habits each day he was there, not appearing for another 2-3 hours, and an empty drip was there?

don't buy it. I suspect that story came from dr. M himself because it would get him out of trouble in his mind.

Kai's statements about the daily routine can be backed by all the staff in the house, not just her. Makes no sense. Especially for him to be on the bed still in the doctors bedroom. so where did Murray supposedly go to sleep-which he had not done any other time before?

imo

[CinderL.]

my bolding and underline...IF this was true..then the site the shot was given would still have un-absorbed Demerol at the site...It would not have had time to absorb, metabolize and be found elsewhere throughout the body..Nope..I just dont buy it..When there is a Doctor onsite..no one..whether a nurse or assistant..NO one does anything without the Doctor knowing..or instructing...NOPE!!

This whole story is being circulated to divert attention from Dr. M..

Ha, I agree. Aide slips in gives shot, slips out. I am not buying it.

Yes, that would make no sense.

[retiredcop]

I don't know because according to the 911 call the only other person that was there was Dr. Murray :confused:

I don't think the 911 call means no one else was there in the room or house. I also don't remember it being said the ONLY other person that was there was the doctor.

Yes, that would make no sense.

There are probably other bedrooms there.

I remember according to the Dr.'s attorney, that something about the phone not working and him not knowing the address. He had to stop CPR and ran down to find the cook. That there was no one around. That doesn't mean that there weren't others around during the night though.

[CinderL.]

Me either and oh my, the other dude did it conspiracy begins. More fodder for the MSM to regurgitate over and over and over. :rolleyes:

Yes, and remember the attny. for Dr. Murray specifically said that Dr. M didn't give Oxycodone or Demerol to MJ. I thought that was a strange statement at the time. Why so specific?

Ahhh in another bedroom perhaps? Kind of hard to make up a person.
It would be checked out by police if an aide existed or not.

Her last duty could have been the shot.

MJ was at rehearsal until around 12:30 am. Kai left in the late afternoon.

Or is that the "her" you are referring to?

[who_is_it]

Sorry retirecop..IF I was given the responsibility of someones life giving such treatment as Diprivan..and being paid $208.00 per hour..I would be sleeping at bedside, with my hand on my patient's chest....not going to another room...Heavens..I did that many times with my own kids who were sick, fevers and on medications....slept with my hand ON THEM...alerting to any changes of respirations, activities...Nope..Dont buy this mysterious Demerol Injection..Nope..nope..LOL

LMS

Imo NOT sleeping next to bed... but staying awake. CM was like a doctor on nightshift. Anesthesiologists on nightshift can't sleep during a patient gets surgery, either.

[retiredcop]

Most likely Dr. M. knows what is going to come out in the tox report and is in CYA mode. Ya Think?


CYA mode for what?

In your statement you are assuming that this was a normal situation. This situation was far from normal. People running around with syringes of demoral at the patient's command.

Hello, the administration of Diprivan had ended.

in my opinion

I sure would have thought though that IF there was another person with MJ during the night, it would have come out by now. If Dr. M is the one leaking this new story, he leaked it a little too late, IMO. His reputation is pretty well in tatters now. I would have thought that would have been the first thing out of his mouth.

[GentleBreeze]

That is true, the house has 8 bedrooms. I wonder why MJ had to be in Dr. M. room?

Imo, because he wanted to keep this private from the other staff and his children.

The kids probably knew that when their daddy was in Dr. Murray's bedroom they weren't to go in.

mo

[CinderL.]

TMZ according to the link I provided said the demerol shot was administered at 11:30AM and if allegedly given after the diprivan it would have been in the morning since it was used for him to sleep. Also Kai Chase said NO staff was allowed upstairs. JMO

Oh yeah, that is right. And the call an hour later, Dr. Murray couldn't find anyone to help.

[retiredcop]

That makes no sense.

because he did administer diprivan but the media was going gaga about demerol or oxycodone as the causes of death. Remember no one had heard of diprivan at the time of the original statement or it had just broken.

Most stories were dem or oxy. Atty could say that and tell the truth. Doesn't mean that anyone else gave demerol

IMO

You guys are forgetting that the EMT still found MJ;s IV inplace..IF he had been finished with his Diprivan Sleep Therapy..then why continue IV..not to mention give injections for pain???..This whole scenerio just does sit right with me....No!!..

BTW..What time did the surveilance clock out?..and what timeline is missing..we know 911 was called what noonish??..or late morning??? What shift would that worker have ??...My..oh my..some are being rather gullible with this report....Have we heard a confirmation from Coroner yet?..

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

And the thoughts of their daddy being locked in a doctor's room.....i wonder what these poor kids thought. How could MJ be so cruel to his kids. jmo

HUH? ok when as an adult you need physical therapy or any other sort of therapy do you normally have the kids in the room? Be it a massage or sleeping or oxygen therapy as he called it to the kids?

How is this cruel??? I can't imagine parents who have kids in the room when they receive any sort of therapy except the most superficial like a manicure - ok not a therapy but still. My parents grandkids aren't allowed in my dads room when the nurse practitioner is there to work on his leg and hip when they spend the summer. Some things should not be open season. He told them eh was getting oxygen therapy to keep him strong for the rehearsals and concerts. What in the world is cruel about that?

[retiredcop]

Hey.. if you don't know the answer, just don't post. Stop being so rude to everyone.. TIA

It's all on the thread. I simply can't retype all of that. How am I rude to everyone? Stop baiting.

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

How is that cruel. Kids sit in a waiting rooms all the time while their parents are treated by a doctor. I imagine in that huge house they were busy playing or doing their studies like they did everyday.

They knew he was going on a huge tour and a physician was living in their home that would be treating their father. I highly doubt they thought they all had to go pile in the bed when the doctor was in with him.:rolleyes:

imo

[Scampi]

I don't think he stands a snowball chance in he**.

Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe are the recorded parents on the two oldest children's birth certificate and were legally married at the time.

They are the legally recognized parents and Klein has no standing.

imo


That's how it stands now Ocean, but as I said if Klein can prove he is the biological father that will change things imo.

Who knows what people will do when money in the billions is involved. There may be negotiations ongoing behind the scenes that we may never know about.

[retiredcop]

Didn't anybody watch Geraldo last night? It was the opinion of Mr. Jackson that Dr. Murray is the fall guy for AEG, and that AEG wanted MJ dead for the insurance od policy, and that someone wanted to make it look like mj accidentally od'd himself.

I heard that but I do consider the source and I am not one for conspiracy theories.


in my opinion

[VC2]

When was it said EMT found an IV in place?

in my opinion

LKL had one of the reporters on talking about it

IMO

Re demerol at the beginning, it was certainly the big story, TMZ announced "he was given a shot of demerol shortly before death" somewehre in the first 2 hours iirc. Every station picked up on it and reported on it.

IMO

See how quickly the news (wink wink) from THE SUN becomes the gospel?:lol:

True,Could be. But, then the story for what it is worth is incorrect. Which I think just might be the case anyway.

I totally agree.

You know, if he's the bio dad that's not the only secret. Klein also knows about Mike's plastic surgery. I could imagine his confidentiality has its price imo. He was quite "open" with information which actually has to be kept confidential.

Article on the topic confidentiality:

I don't think it will make a difference even if he proves he is the father.

To be recognized as the father of a child it must be done within 2 years not 11 and 12 years later.

He may be a sperm donor but that is all he is.

I am not aware of any time limits on when a person coughs up paternity information, especially in a case as weird as this one.

But, money may not be the only reason Klein may want to step in here. IMO, he may have an overwhelming desire to make sure that Joe Jackson is nowhere around these kids.

I was very dismayed to see that Joe Jackson is apparently still in LA and going out with Katherine (per the reports of a dinner this weekend.)

I do not like or trust this man and I think he is making it his business to be around the children/money. I do not think Katherine has the desire to keep him away either.

I believe Rowe and Klein have the same concern.

thanks cinder. well lets hope they have some news lol

Well she lied in her statement again when she withdrew her petition but i guess the executors nor the judge wants to push it. (Branca had called her and told her about the will before she filed her petition and/or told the attorney)

I have heard that Katherine Jackson has to be very careful not to contest the will because there is a clause in the will that says that anyone who contests the will is automatically cut from the will.

there is in california, if you go back to the paternity threads, the legal code was cited as were the more general information on it. When a couple is married and both are named on the birth certificate, in california-pretty sure california is alone in this- there can be no challenge to paternity after 2 years of the marriage. Well they can challenge all they like but the legal father stays the dad on the birth certificate and in the marriage for 2 years.

imo

[VC2]

Hiya VC, I am ignorant about California law, thank you!!

YW! I only knew about it before this case because of the more stunning child support orders in CA during a divorce when everyone knows the dad is not the dad..but he has to pay while bio dad does not. Personally i like the law, but i can see why some dads who discover their wife cheated on them do not. that said, its not the childs fault who has thought of their dad as dad for their whole life and to upend it for them isn't right.

Yes, she does. They are being very careful on tv by saying she is not contesting the will, just the executors.

[VC2]

IIRC Katherine signed consent for one of MJ's plastic surgeons to speak with the SUN.....

IMO Katherine and The SUn are equally unreliable...as is any Jackson on any topic.

KJ has no rights to sign consent for MJ's dermatologist. She should know that but more importantly his dermatologist should know that.

IMO

eta and that iirc was one of the issues with showing her the aeg contract, she refused to sign the same confidentiality agreement that MJ made in it

I will keep up my initial personal belief that he's the biological father (without any legal rights). snipped.

Oh, has it finally been put up? Thanks I do leave my keyboard to do ohter things. LOL

in my opinion

[daniel green]

Great question. Kia Chase didn't mention anyone in the house but Dr. Murray, herself and the children as far as I know. I can't imagine it being a bodyguard.

There was someone else who made the 911 call, at the least.

[daniel green]

Not possible.

Do you know what he really looked like?

imo

Absolutely not possible. I had no idea before reading in this forum that anyone actually believe he could have been.

[retiredcop]

I'm still wondering if the IV was actually attached to Mr Jackson when EMT arrived. I just find that hard to believe.

in my opinion

[VC2]

How on earth would you know what is or is not possible concerning MJ's sperm?

:lol: sorry that made me need to clean my keyboard. however it is a valid question.

I cant watch stream so what is tmz showing outside the courtroom?

[daniel green]

In your statement you are assuming that this was a normal situation. This situation was far from normal. People running around with syringes of demoral at the patient's command. Drs sleeping in the room while a patient has had or is getting propofal by IV. NOT NORMAL. Where is the patient chart or log?????

Yeah.

Trying to think through this as if anything about is was normal, or how it's normally done is really useless here.

[retiredcop]

NEWSFLASH!!

The other poster and I were discussing paternity. The tox results aren't going to determine that. doh

Excuse me, I think you should just face the fact that Mr Jackson is not the biological father of the children.

in my opinion

[daniel green]

Most likely Dr. M. knows what is going to come out in the tox report and is in CYA mode. Ya Think?

Yeah. I think.

He most likely knows those 2 things will show up on the tox screen.

This is not in any way personal, Arguendo.

[daniel green]

He could still have had the IV in his arm after the diprovan finished.

Not saying I believe this theory but I'm open to it.

imo

Yes, as I doubt the diprivan was giving to MJ through the IV in a drip.

[CinderL.]

Of course not.

I thought that was the normal way to give diprovan with an IV drip???

[who_is_it]

If there was any forthought at all on MJ's part he will have that information, if it's even available, for them stored safe somewhere for when they ask.

I believe an anonymous donor was used.

What makes me think Klein could be the bio dad is: He said he once donated sperm anonymously and that he doesn't think he's the father. But he offered an dna test. The COINCIDENCE that Klein's (allegedly anonymously donated) sperm was used for Michael's children WOULD CONVERGE AGAINST ZERO. If he "just donated sperm" and doesn't know how it was used he doesn't have to offer a dna test -- it would be him only with a 1 : let's say 300,000 donators chance. It's totally illogical that he offered to do a dna test.

Imo he WANTS to do a dna test because he knows what the outcome would be: that he's the father.

I could also imagine they've made any deal in which DR was involved, too.

Moreover I had the impression that there was a "vibe" of dependency in the relationship between Michael and Klein. Can't explain exactly what I mean... but Michael appeared to me a bit like a mental slave to him (imo).

[daniel green]

Could you imagine how it might feel to your children, if the world was trying to decide who their bio parents are?

Actually, lots of ppl ask about my son, as he is bi-racial. (Af-Am/Samoan and 100% gorgeous!) And the ones who don't ask, assume. Adoptive families deal with that all the time. Same as with American couples who adopt children from Latin America or India or China or Korea. It happens and it is part of being in the adoption triangle--adoptive parents, child and birthparents. My children, as most children I know who have been adopted, are pretty much at ease with those questions, and comment about it themselves.

[daniel green]

I thought that was the normal way to give diprovan with an IV drip???

With that pump, which doesn't sound like they had at the house. Most of the time (as shown on TV this past week) they just inject it into the IV injection site--the hand, for instance. Like they would, say, a shot of demerol.

no daniel, not as the anaesthetic for sleep or any more than 45 seconds. Yes if they are inducing and planning a different med or more for the anaesthetic in surgery but it has to be a monitored drip even if its manual not pumped because it only lasts 30 to 40 seconds to work and a couple of minutes before they wake up again

So if it was just injected in the hand, they wake right back up within a minute, it had to be continuous monitoring of some form of bag drip to keep him asleep.

imo

[ish]

IIRC Katherine signed consent for one of MJ's plastic surgeons to speak with the SUN.....

IMO Katherine and The SUn are equally unreliable...as is any Jackson on any topic.

I'm beginning to suspect Katherine Jackson is not nearly the sweet old granny people are making her out to be. She's already vehemently defending Joe agaignst the abuse allegations that Michael spoke about, none of the kids were ever abused according to her. If Rebbie is doing the day to day raising of the kids, what function does Katherine have? IMO, she will use her access to the $$ to continue to support ALL her children and grandchildren and Joe, the same way Michael has been doing all these years (except for Joe) . If he thought he was cutting them off by giving limited access to the money to his mother, he was wrong, she isn't going to allow her other kids to suffer and she certainly has enjoyed living the good life all these years. I wonder if she and Joe didn't agree to stay apart as much so that Michael would be more willing to give $ to Mom believing Dad wasn't getting a cut. The executors/administrators better keep a tight watch on Katherine's and the kid's expenses cause I'm betting it starts to funnel its way to the rest of the family.

[retiredcop]

I find Harvey's obsession with gossip really weird for a guy.

Just sayin'

imo

They're over at TMZ answering questions. I have nothing to ask them. lol

There will have another court hearing Monday on the estate. I guess the executors are permanent, but don't know.

Katherine can have the AEG contract subject to confidentiality statement being signed.

in my opinion

[daniel green]

Los Angeles judge has named Michael Jackson's mother as permanent guardian of the star's children, ignoring a surprise late bid by the singer's dermatologist to have a say in their upbringing. Lawyers for Katherine Jackson, 79, and the King of Pop's ex-wife Debbie Rowe last week agreed on custody arrangements concerning children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and Prince Michael II, seven. But what was expected to be a straightforward hearing to approve the agreement on Monday (local time) took a bizarre turn when an attorney for Jackson's skin doctor, Arnold Klein, appeared at the hearing. Lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said Dr Klein wanted to "have a voice" in issues concerning the children's "education, healthcare and welfare". Asked repeatedly by Judge Mitchell Beckloff to state what Dr Klein's interest was, Mr Kaplan said it was due to his client's "longstanding relationship with the children and longstanding relationship with Mr Jackson".

[daniel green]

You're just beginning to wonder...

I am very upset she has custody of those children. IMO She is every bit as evil as Joe.....in her own way. She plays sweet and meek...IMO She's a wolf in sheep's clothing!

I agree on all counts.

[daniel green]

Its just a guess on my part, but somehow I don't think those 3 kids think its a no big deal thing, when people are saying that their father isn't their father.

In my opinion, both as an adoptive parent to a child who looks nothing like me and with my long time work with children and from having read every book by every expert about adoption as well as what our adoption agency/counselors told us--honesty and openness is the best policy.

The children will look at themselves in the mirror and see the same thing we see. The best way to deal with those questions is to tell the truth. And if you lose your children's trust with lies about something like that--well, then, that is huge.

I'm not a big Jackson fan and haven't followed too much of his story. What I have read has always been very supportive of Katherine, so I never thought twice about it. Now that so much is being written I see another side to her and it is not looking so pleasant. I sense she catered to Michael for obvious reasons ($) even though I'm sure his lifestyle was far from her choice for him. If she is such a devout JW, I can only imagine her disappointment in him, but even her devoutness I question as recent photos show a 79 yr old woman who seems to have had some "help" maintaining her youthful appearance.

I certainly agree with you. I bet she is mean as a witch to the executors. She wants the money for herself and JOE. I think it was known she was a heavy hitter with her kids too.

I don't think the children should be with her at all.

IMO there aren't too many great choices for those kids. KJ, DR, and now Dr. Arnie Kline. What a joke that one is. Pretty sad though.

[retiredcop]

Oh my goodnes..I have no indication these kids are Imbeciles..that are by all appearances..quite normal..and given their ages..and their life experiences..I rather doubt they dont know their heritage....and I dont think KJ custody is going to alter their understanding..

Foregive me..but isnt Grace there with these kids??..She has been with them from the time they were born...I think she will make sure they are not harmed..or taken advantage of..emotionally anyway...But then again, maybe there should be some sort of protection from JJ from forcing them to get involved with some money making venture..

LMS

Oh there is. Their mother will be watching and she has visiting privileges. I wouldn't count her out as having plenty of influence where Joe is concerned.


in my opinion

[retiredcop]

Do you think DR knows that Katherine Jackson is an apparent anti-semite?

imo

Yes, I think she does. Dr. Klein probably knows too. I think Katherine Jackson may be more careful now with what she says around those children knowing they will be visiting with Ms Rowe.

in my opinion

[who_is_it]

Oh C'mon..................did you ever see the TV show? He's Professor Gossip and the kids sit in the classroom and tell him who they tormented that day. It's pathetic.

"We got Lou Ferigno at the LA airport" - lol. That's journalism? Levin has taken gossip to new heights.

imo

The only positive I could say about TMZ is that they put value on correct information and try to back up their information (by documents etc.)

Nevertheless their reports ARE sensationalizing (for example: over weeks just pics of Michael Jackson wearing black sunglasses to make the story look mysteriously). They sometimes edit their videos in way that the message is changed. (I have on mind a video of Lindsay Lohan. The report was that she was desperately knocking at the door of her partner. The part of the original video when she shouted at the paparazzi and angrily asked them to leave the property was cut out. The true reason was that she desperately wanted to get in because she felt stalked -- not trouble with her girlfriend.)

I feel disgusted by the methods how TMZ gets its information. The paparazzi are often (imo) brain- and heartless and show no respect for the inviduals they stalk -- not even in sad moments after break ups etc.

Furthermore it's not okay imo that very private information is released to the public, for example birth certificates or the pic of beaten up Rihanna. I question how they get that sort of information.

[retiredcop]

ok, so why would Katherine and Joe go on Geraldo Rivera and start a rumor that AEG murdered Michael and that Dr. Murray was just the fall guy?

Maybe because Joe has already talked about filing a wrongful death suit. Think about it -- who's the better defendant? A destitute Dr. Murray who may or may not have malpractice insurance, which may not cover such an extreme error as administering Diprivan in a home setting? Or AEG and their deep pockets?

Oh, which story will sell the most books?

imo

Well, Katherine sure wanted the contract between AEG and Mr Jackson.
They see $$$$$, but just don't know where yet. Probably all the Jacksons will write a book. LOL

in my opinion

[retiredcop]

They are stalkers and Harvey is the stalking supervisor. He makes me gag. :mad:

imo

Wow, well that's putting in the right context.:thumbsup:

[CinderL.]

May I politely ask you ish, how will the way that Katherine Jackson spends her money effect your life in any way. It sure won't effect mine and I dare say no one else that posts here as well. Too much is being made of this and not enough emphasis on how MJ died. Honestly I don't care where that money goes as long as the children are taken care of and I am sure they will be. And whether she gives some to the other siblings won't make a difference one way or the other. It is hers to do with what she wants. She has hers and the children have theirs. What she has left when she dies goes to the children but by then the three kids will all be multi millionaires ten times over. How much money is enough in your opinion and why do you care so much?

Hopefully someone has more sense than MJ when it comes to handling money. If I recall he was $400 million in debt. Everyone will certainly have plenty if they get a handle on his estate.

[CinderL.]

Great point. I put nothing past the Jacksons. And Leonard Rowe wants a piece of the action as well.

imo

I didn't believe one thing that Leonard R. said. Sounded a lot like sour grapes to me.

[CinderL.]

YOUR POINT????..She had NO Control over her boss. back then....Give me a break!!

Hey.Courts are NOW involved ...I am sure if she has something to say..she will have standing!!!

LMS:sneaky:

Huh? I thought Sandy was talking about KJ. Who was her boss? You lost me here.:biggrin:

Oh, never mind. Talking about the Nanny. I get it. OPPS.

[CinderL.]

Speaking of Grace......didn't she work for MJ before she was the nanny? Does anyone remember what she did before?

[who_is_it]

Well, Katherine sure wanted the contract between AEG and Mr Jackson.
They see $$$$$, but just don't know where yet. Probably all the Jacksons will write a book. LOL

in my opinion

It makes me barf

From a moral (not legal) perspective:
AEG supported Michael's comeback; he himself wanted a superstar comeback (no unprofessional show but a show with perfection in its minute details). He was lucky that finally a reputed, financially strong company cared because he wasn't easy to deal with imo.

AEG has enough losses. They should have left the rights on the rehearsal videos to them imo; the Jacksons get enough $$$ by unreleased songs imo.

[retiredcop]

Speaking of Grace......didn't she work for MJ before she was the nanny? Does anyone remember what she did before?

I guess she had no nanny credentials if she worked for him before at something else.

in my opinion

[Imperfect4]

Glad to see a raised eyebrow about the behavior of the Jackson clan is no longer politically incorrect on this thread.

I don't think it should come as any surprise this group is financially motivated. It seems for the last 30-40 years -- ever since MJ struck out on his own as a performer -- his family has been chasing after him, trying to grab onto his coattails, pleading with him and trying to guilt him into reunion tours and other business ventures.

Somehow, it became Michael's responsibility to insure the rest of the family got access to the good life through his fame and success -- all in the name of "family," I'm sure.

I've often wondered if Janet receives similar treatment. My guess is it's no accident she lives (I believe) on the other side of the country from the rest of them.

[mrsmcgoo]

To force the man to get some help for his addiction.

How is standing by and watching their father slowly killing himself good for his children? How can she look them in the face and say...yeah, I knew your daddy had a drug problem, but it wasn't my job to do anything about it. How can she sleep at night and look at herself in the mirror?

It was reported at one time that Grace actually did try and help MJ and was let go for going behind MJ's back and talking to some members of his family about his condition. I don't know if anyone can do anymore than that, an addict really does have to decide on their own to seek help.

JMO

[CinderL.]

Did I say that? Geez. I just remember that she worked for him before she became the Nanny, and couldn't remember what she did for him. I guess you don't know. Thanks anyway.

[CinderL.]

Of course CinderL..She has been involved with MJ since before the kids..but became a sort of nuturing figure and NANNY since they were born..Now...to make a clear statement..IF she ever has any complaint where the kids are concerned..since there is a Child Psychologist now assessing them..per possible DR visititation..One would only think they would interview the "Nanny"..to see how they are..and where their heads are at..AND that (Grace) INPUT will always be heard down the road..

I believe Grace started out as a simple clerk of some sort..and moved up..and became involved when the kids came into the picture...thats all I remember..

LMS

Thank you. For the record here, I think she did a great job as Nanny.

I don't know. I don't know if CA requires Nannies to have background checks with the police like in my state and to be fingerprinted and a photo taken of them. I don't know if they have to be licensed in CA.
They will be taking care of children after all.

[retiredcop]

I am watching a video right now on HLN raw footage of the children and Mr Jackson at Neverland. There is a nanny there which must be Grace.
She is wearing a white uniform. The children knew Grace was an employee. Any closeness the children felt was not as a mom.

in my opinion

[CinderL.]

Anyone watching NG? Did you see the video? Did anyone here him ask "do you know your lines" ? I am not sure I heard that right.

[GentleBreeze]

Its obvious you don't get alot of things..she is was a NANNY and was fired back in fall of 2008...and you just have to know if she had ever said one word..she would have been GONE alot sooner...She traveled with MJ and the kids all over the world...and her main duty was to nurture those kids..

I am not trying to argue..but her power where the kids were concerned prior to his death..had no standing..but NOW what she has to say Does..She knows those kids way more than even Grandma!!..

IF she had of created any bad vibes...She knew she would have put those kids to risk..thus "kids under the bas" comment..as she would have no control..and no doubt worried..

I just cant get a grasp on your take on this whole affair..except to try and argue..So with a that..I am not going to respond again..

Have a nice day!

LMS

I agree. I think Grace is a vital part of these children's up bringing and she should be very proud of the many years she devoted to them and what wonderful children they have become. Imo, she was like a mother figure in their lives and even if she was fired, she always returned to these children who I believe deeply loved her as she loved them. If one looks at the photos of Grace and the children it is plain to see how comfortable they are with her. Even if someone didnt know any different they would think that Grace was their mother.

I am so glad she is by their side once again. I am not surprised one bit. While there may have been trying times during the years, I believe that Grace , the children and MJ shared many treasured moments together.

Grace and the children will always have that bond because all of them have such heartfelt love and precious memories of MJ that they can share over and over with each other.

I've watched all 5 parts.

The interviewer is my antitype of a person: too norm addicted and like a threatening gun what is even stressed by her body language (head bend over). Ugh -- very unappealing vibes.

I LOVE Lisa Marie and her accent and fast articulation and how self confident and straight forward she is.

It's worth to watch the 5 parts -- not only because of Branca.

she wanted to sing and dance, they even miked them for it lol, i thought it was sweet! Remember prince talking bout wanting to be in a show movie and act? i got the impression it had to do with paris's wish to sing and dance on her bday and he brought in prince wanting to "act" so said do you know your lines. I was grinning!

alred seemed weird to me. Of course there was a staged part! why in the world did she think the mikes were on that part, and why would she think that its uncomfortable. They were "doing what you do, sing and dance", they made a little "scene" for it seemed to me, with lines and direction like in a show

Exactly! there was apart of doing what she wanted for her bday and they were miked up etc. It was rehearsed, they wanted to be in the "show" in the home movie so he made them a little skit/song complete with direction and mikes etc.

i loved it...really loved blanket's face covered in icecream or cake lmao. (yes he did wipe it off for those who missed the part when they showed it later) Typical kid with a filthy face enjoying getting messy with food.

and as the psychologist said, when its bday type home movies, there is always a bit of a staged feeling to them, you have to look at the camera or smile for it etc. in every home.

she was their nanny since birth of prince..actually i think she was hired before then, on the recommendation of Deepak Chopra.

Actually it doesn't matter. She is not in the will as guardian or anything else. She is not their mother. She was a paid employee.
I'm sure she was paid very well for cuddling and burping the children as long as she worked for Mr Jackson. It was her JOB to take care of them. To speculate there is some deep relationship there is fine, but it is just speculation. I don't buy it at all.

Course what do I know?..as an "Adoptee"..I know it doesnt take DNA to make a parent..Geesh!!

The nanny was not an adoptive parent. She was a uniformed nanny as I saw in the just released video. There is a difference in adopted children and the adopted parents. Children do know the difference at an early age between a nanny and a mom.

What matters is what the children perceive in their little minds...until you walk in those shoes..you cant assume anything..and children such as MJ's were solely reliant on Grace..like it or not!! and it is obvious she didn't turn them again MJ..and she could have..but didn't..

Yep, so true. I had my own Nanny-Granny who was no kin to me but I loved her as if she was a mother to me. I still love her to this day and grieved when I lost her a few years ago to cancer.

I don't see why some seem to have such a need to put Grace down as if trying to put her in her place.:rolleyes: Love comes from the heart and I believe it was the wonderful tender care she took when raising these children that made them think of her as a mom and called her their mom.

How beautiful for them to have this woman in their lives.

Children have such beautiful open loving hearts. They know true love with they feel it.

ita. Any implication otherwise implies Paris was lying at the memorial or faking her grief and i think that is just..... well...wont say it, but imo its unfair to even suggest that a little girl who just lost her daddy is not genuine.

IMO

Paris was genuine. She wasn't faking her grief either. Maybe she grew up saying that and it popped into her head at her time of shock and sorrow.

[Emerald]

The children have lost their Father. The only parent they knew.

Leave them alone.

i am getting angrier and angrier as i listen to KJ's attorney.

"MJ did not want them in 2009, he wants KJ to be the trustee, no we won't get rid of them, we want her to be the 3rd one..oh and yes they get paid." etc. We can prove he consulted with katherine on business matters..blah blah. she did well..thats why she was still in bankruptcy in 2008.

this is grotesque, and i am appalled the judge gave them 60 more days.

IMO

[CinderL.]

The nanny was not an adoptive parent. She was a uniformed nanny as I saw in the just released video. There is a difference in adopted children and the adopted parents. Children do know the difference at an early age between a nanny and a mom.

in my opinion

Actually I had friends that had nannies, and it was a bone of contention because the kids started calling the nanny "mom". The parents were upset to say the least. I thought if they spent more time with their own kids, this wouldn't have happened.
Also, I am not exactly sure which person you are talking about in the video, but I thought I saw someone in white "sweats", not a uniform. I will have to watch again.

oh goodness...listening to KJ's attorney on LKL and its pretty obvious they are going after her being appointed at a minimum, or removing the executors as a whole.

:cursing:

Boy, I think that would be a huge mistake. I think the attnys. that are in charge now know what they are doing. I don't think anyone in the Jackson family or in their circle, have a clue. MJ sure didn't.

in my opinion

I think children only knows the difference if the parent is so insecure and makes a point of it because they may be jealous if their kids have a close relationship with someone that is not kin to them.

Countless of people including children truly love other people that are no kin to them and I certainly doubt since Nurse Lee said that MJ was the humblest man she had ever met that he would be going around being snooty and putting Grace down when he knew how much she loved those kids and how much they loved her.

It looked like a uniform to me. White pants that were not like sweats and white nursing type shoes. She had a bandanna around her head. She had what appeared to be a little sweater type over the top of her uniform which was white and open in front. The pants looked nylon.
I paused and slo mode it to get a very good look. It looked like a nurse's uniform.

I'll watch again. I didn't ever see the face so I have no idea who it was.
But, whether it was Grace or not....I don't think you are giving Nannies enough credit. I think they have a huge impact on the children they care for....for the good or the bad. Some are not good. I think Grace was very good for those kids. IMO

In the interview I've posted before Mike mentioned Branca as his lawyer during his teenage days.

KJ and JJ will get enough that it would last till the end of their days. The greed will takes its toll on the parents in their 80s. And once they are not anymore the fights will go on for generations. Not what Michael would have wished. imo

The only positive I could say about the family is that they didn't let him down during the worst time of his life -- even not Joe.

I could imagine JJ suffers from delusions of grandeur and wants KJ to have a say because of his new record label. :rolleyes: They can't see that Sony is the more professional (what would fit better to MJ's perfectionism) imo.

At the risk of sounding cynical I have to ask "why would they not support him" - the sole support of the entire family except LaToya?

[who_is_it]

Needless to repeat what the worst time of his life was, I guess.

Good point. I am not sure when they were supportive?

[CinderL.]

Are you talking about the trial? I think he had many low points in his life.
And I don't think anyone was very supportive in his life. I think they used him, tried to keep him happy in whatever he wanted to do, so they wouldn't lose the gravy train.

5:55 PM ET - The hearing over Michael Jackson's empire and custody of his children has ended for the day. The judge is considering Katherine Jackson's motion to depose the executors of Michael Jackson's estate under oath. Katherine Jackson's lawyers want more information from the executors, including their previous business dealings with the late King of Pop, to determine whether they are adequate to administer the estate. In the meantime, the executors will continue to be special administrators of the estate for another 60 days. The next hearing is set for Monday, Aug.10.

The children were playing with their father. She was talking to them getting ready to put them to bed. She was bending over picking up toys. I was a long home movie.

It's on Nancy Grace.

Now I'm tired of posting about something as inconsequential as a nanny.

I think this is the whole video that is being discussed. Not sure though.

This is ridiculous. I don't think Katherine and her lawyer will get anywhere with this, but who knows. I think she should simply be disinherited for challenging the will. I wonder if the executors can file anything in court to start those proceedings?

My sentiments too VC. I've never seen Grace in a uniform, but it could be a member of the kitchen staff for all we know, not to mention a nurse.

I believe Grace has been and will continue to be an influence in the lives of the children, certainly more than DR from my POV. JMO:smile:

They will have a difficult time proving Branca and McLain inadequate administrators.

I do find it interesting AEG settled just under the wire of going before the Judge. Anyone know what that was all about?

That doesnt look like Grace to me.

Here is Grace.

http://fisherwy.blogspot.com/2009/07/michael-jackson-nanny-grace-rwaramba.html

"Grace loved Michael and he loved her. The kids called her ‘Mom’." Ian Barkley, Michael’s personal photographer for three years, was quoted as saying.

[daniel green]

"secretary" IIRC

All I know...if I was a paid employee charged with watching three children while their dad was upstairs with a known Demerol addiction and a Dr. hooking him up every night to an IV drip pumping him full of more drugs...I'd report it.

Because that would be in the children's best interest.

It is one's duty to report such things.

[GentleBreeze]

The children have lost their Father. The only parent they knew.

LOL! Yeah it is all a rehearsed plot by MJ. I mean it was done 9-10 years ago. I guess MJ who had never released this full private video came back from the grave and made the kids say what they did 9-10 years before he died.:lol:
