The most the plaintiffs could say in that area was that Murray asked for $5million initially and that should have sent up red flags. Asking for that amount would definitely catch my attention and maybe raise an eyebrow, but it still doesn't qualify in my mind as unethical. Asking for a lot of money doesn't mean one is unethical in my estimation (and I hope the irony of repeatedly implying that in court was not lost on the plaintiffs ;D). Also that Murray was being foreclosed on and had a lot of owed child support. Again, being in debt or being foreclosed on doesn't in itself cross an ethical boundary in my mind.

Thanks very much juror 27 for posting here, much appriciated.
The bolded part is brilliant :cheeky:

I was upset plaintiffs implying that CM's money problems should have been red flag to everyone. That sort of implication is insulting to any people out there who is in depth and about to lose their house due the financial climate over the last years.
I'm glad you didn't see it that way and all people who are in dept can breath easy as they/we are not casted as red flag to the world.

I don't know can you answer to these questions, but if you can,what was your impressions of Randy, Katherine and Karen Faye's testimony? I know jury loved Debbie and Kenny O, and no wonder, we loved their testimonies too.



@ Bluetopez, I hope you read juror 27 reply about red flag.

Agree. Imo, being in debt doesnt automatically mean one is unethical.
 
yes, why doesn't Juror #27 reveal his name?

Would you?

If I were a juror, I wouldn't reveal my name on MJ board knowing that there are truly some twisted individuals that will dug out all sort of information and post them all over the internet or start harassing jurors home or in their working environment :bugeyed

I agree with others that information is only for admininstrator of this community, and they should keep it safe from all sort of looney fans.
 
Wait! Now that the trial is over and the lawyers have to be paid, does anyone know for sure how Panish and co is going to get his money? Or is it a case they would only have got paid if they won?

(Apologies, if this has been asked and answered before!)
 
For everyone's information

I have sent pics of the last two months of service certificates to ivy.

Juror #27 has sent me 2 receipts of certificates of jury service. these receipts shows the days juror #27 was on jury duty in the months of August , September , October and the payment for jury services.

The last certificate showed that juror #27 was serving jury duty at LA Superior Court on September 3rd, 4th, 6th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, October 1st and 2nd.

these dates and off days match with the court schedule we had on our daily testimony summary thread such as

Jacksons vs AEG - Day 79 – September 4 2013 – Summary
Jacksons vs AEG - Day 80 – September 6 2013 – Summary
Jacksons vs AEG - Day 81 – September 18 2013 – Summary

August dates on the certificate also match to the schedule.

We as the staff are considering this as enough verification. We also realize that some people might not be satisfied or convinced no matter what. Everyone is free to form their own opinions and can choose to believe or not to the posts of juror#27 but let me note that derailing of the thread will not be allowed.

It seems they only get paid if they would have won the case.
 
^^ and that is the reason his firm (with help from Randy) is pestering KJ for appeal.

If KJ has any sense, she closes this chaper and move on, she got her answers already and its time to take a holiday with PPB, away from drama and cubs.

LA Times music critic wrote an article, and at the end of it he wrote:
"So good riddance to the gory details. We've been reminded of the artist's flaws pretty much nonstop for the past few decades. He's dead and the blame has been legally resolved. Now let MJ rest in peace, so the melodies and grooves that changed the course of global pop can continue to wend their way through contemporary culture, blossoming in wonderfully unpredictable ways. "

I get it , he actually was competent till he went rogue. How were they to know what his intentions were noone is a mind reader.
 
only a little objection

In my inconsequential opinion maybe the juror should read the rules of conduct for jurorsonce more before he/she will answer our questions. May be the one or the other question is with this rules could be in collision and if the juror is not very attentive he could get difficults.

Honestly, I'm afraid he could be lead on the ice.
 
I thought the juror was actually going to post their certificate. Ivy can easily take a picture of it with the personal details blurred out.
 
Juror 27 you have nothing to apologize for. There is no rule that you have to stick around to reply after you post in the forum. t is such a pity that one's first introduction to the forum has to be met with an attack. I hope you see the appreciation and welcome spirit from the majority that is posting here. Thanks so much for giving some insight into the process which allows us to continue to discuss the topic in a more scholarly manner.

You have to understand that anyone can be anyone else on a forum so it's only logical to be skeptical, especially in the world of Mj. If they are genuine then great that they can come here and discuss. If not, then they are actually breaking the law by impersonating a juror and it's pretty serious.
 
I have sent pics of the last two months of service certificates to ivy.

I really wish I had held off posting initially until later. I didn't mean to drop a post and not be around to respond, but since it had to be approved and I didn't know how long that might take I posted right before I went to bed. Then had plans for all day today. So I apologize for my delay in responding.


The problem I have with what our foreman said and the question you are asking is that it mixes up the timelines. If the word unethical was included in question 2, we would still have to assess whether AEG knew that at the time they hired Conrad Murray.

The most the plaintiffs could say in that area was that Murray asked for $5million initially and that should have sent up red flags. Asking for that amount would definitely catch my attention and maybe raise an eyebrow, but it still doesn't qualify in my mind as unethical. Asking for a lot of money doesn't mean one is unethical in my estimation (and I hope the irony of repeatedly implying that in court was not lost on the plaintiffs ;D). Also that Murray was being foreclosed on and had a lot of owed child support. Again, being in debt or being foreclosed on doesn't in itself cross an ethical boundary in my mind.

So no, I don't think we would have answered differently if the question asked whether he was ethical because we didn't see any evidence that showed that AEG knew Murray was going to act unethically.


Absolutely. I can't stress enough how much we all liked him by the end of the trial. So many witnesses and so much heartfelt testimony. Lots of pure love and affection for Michael poured out over these months and it left an incredible impression on all of us.


This hits the nail on the head. Throughout all the testimony and witnesses, that was one of the strongest recurring themes -- MJ was a wonderful father and person.


You are right on the money in my opinion.

The conflict of interest idea was countered by the defense saying that in actuality all 3 interests were aligned. It was clearly in everyone's best interest for Michael to be healthy and to do the shows and I see no way to dispute this. MJ being healthy and performing was good for everyone involved. And even if one wants to view this as a conflict of interest, I don't see how the existence of it in and of itself renders Murray unfit or incompetent. We were told over and over that conflicts of interest arise all the time in medicine and are the responsibility of the doctor to mitigate.

So even if a conflict of interest was in place, it was on Murray's shoulders to mitigate it since he was the one providing medical care to MJ.

As for question 1, our first vote had 3 answers.

Hired him.
Didn't hire him.
Unsure.

After first vote it was 6 votes unsure, 4 votes no and 2 votes yes. I initially voted no.

But we then looked at the jury instructions which said that contracts can be written, oral, or partly written and partly oral. It said that oral contracts are just as valid as written contracts, and that implied-in-fact contracts could be valid through the parties' conduct.

So we looked at AEG's behavior in dealing with Conrad Murray, and we felt that between the drawn up contracts, the fact that they backdated his starting date from June 1 to May 1 in one of the drafts, the Gongaware emails about who was paying Murray's salary, that Randy Phillips and Murray were in charge of getting MJ to rehearsals, it was all enough conduct to say that they "hired" him.

It is late here and I'm off to sleep, will answer more posts tomorrow.

Just wanted to say thank you for answering questions.
 
Bubs thanks for the correction about the personal attorney: Boyle is partner of Panish's company and not KJ personal attorney? Perry Sanders and Sandra Ribeira are KJ's attorney's and other attorney's are releated to this case. I could see that Perry and Sandra would send billing to KJ, and KJ sends it to the bottomless money bit of MJ's estate.

So Boyle is only working with Katherine for the AEG case. Now has there been any times when Sanders & Ribeira has been sitting in the AEG trial courtroom, and are they going to bill Katherine for sitting there as part of the personal attorney relationship?

Juror 27 it is so good to see that the way you evaluated the evidence above ^^ is similar to what some of us have been saying in the thread, especially about Muarry's debt, conflict vs the interests of AEG + Muarry in terms of keeping Michael healthy, & red flag.

About the foreman's comment, I think he would agree with you that if "ethical" was in the question jurors would have to look at the evidence to back this up, and going by what was known about Muarry's medical professional life in 09, he would agree with you that the evidence did not support it. I think he was just making a statement within the context that this verdict was not about ethical behavior, and at the moment had not evaluated that the jury would have to do the same thing and look for evidence. It was one of those instances where you are asked a question and give a quick answer.

This verdict has a positive impact on everyone in this country. I don't think many realize that if AEG was found liable based on what the plaintiffs claimed, people with tremendous debt looking for jobs would be in serious trouble. We would have a lot of discrimination going on, especially for those with student loans over 100,000, bankruptcy, current missed payments for rent and mortgage, people who lost their jobs and have tremendous debt and are now looking for a new job, etc. It would be a disaster. Anyway AEG would get into trouble if they tried to look at Muarry's finances to determine his hiring worthiness, because they could not show legally how that related to his job duties. Muarry could sue and would win. Thank goodness the jury evaluated this issue in the way they did.
 
Thanks for answering my query. I would have been a tad bit annoyed if Michael had had to pay for this trial financially.

I have to say though, I have reading some stuff about people feeling like Michael has been picked on enough and maybe it is time to let that ish go! That shift in mentality is going to take some time and I feel as a community we have to be ready to re-frame the narrative about Michael.

The trial exposed alot about his personal life, but we can simply acknowledge that he had his challenges but looked at what he achieved anyway.
 
Mneme I just wanted to answer something I saw you post more than once, about the transcripts. Every time Ivy was going to buy the transcripts, we realized that the various articles/tweets/reports gave the gist of what the witnesses said, or the witnesses information was not that in-depth/new, etc., so it was not bought. Ivy wanted to buy transcripts that was of use to the community as a whole, and not just important to one person. Ivy did not want to use thousands of dollars to buy a bunch of transcripts when the main information was covered. Even the closing was going to be bought. Then we heard it would be televised, so there was no need to buy it.

Think about it, to buy transcripts for 5 months would run over $10,000, since each day cost about $400.

The next thing I wanted to talk about was that the rules for jurors in the US may not be the same for where you live. A juror can talk about the case after the verdict. In the Muarry trial the judge said jurors could not give interviews until a specific number of days after the trial. Notice the judge never said the juror could not talk about the case ever. In the US jurors cannot discuss the case, read about it, be around people who are discussing it, can't do research on it while the case is ongoing. These rules do not apply to the juror after the verdict, unless with the ruling with the criminal trial above.^^ This means that our forum can discuss the case with any juror who wants to do so.

/juror 27

if I may ask two questions

1.)
I'm presuming that in the beginning or on the end of the trial the jurors got plaintiffs complaint and statement from AEG.
If yes, do you got the 2 older plaintiff complaints too?


2.)
What was you thinking about Mr. Panish' argument alteration in relation to his opening plädoyer? (i mean addiction; Michael's health etc.)
 
@Mneme Just to add to Petrarose post, we did have a transcript fund and some were brought, but as Petra said it would have cost a small fortune to buy them all.
 
Have a question. Did the witnesses for Katherine are already paid? If not, who has to pay Panish or Katherine?
 
It seems they only get paid if they would have won the case.

Hello Annita!,

but isn't it that this applies only Mr. Panish' office (the other attorneys as Boyle,...)?

Wasn't there a second attorney office? I have forgotten but I remember that Katherine has had 10 attorneys.
If that is true maybe this costs Katherine perhaps has to pay.
We will read about it later.
 
Allow me to preface this post by stating I am neutral on the validity of Juror27.

I have participated heavily in this particular subforum while always making my sole intention for participating abundantly clear. I simply did not perceive a balanced pre-trial discussion of the civil trial. It was important to me personally that those who lurked in the subforum saw at least one poster (there were more to their credit however, we were the minority) who routinely supported the plaintiffs using the evidence brought forth by the media resources available as well as the court transcripts. One would be hard pressed to find one post I authored where I relied on any of the Jacksons&#8217; past actions or my personal view of the family to support my stance.

Juror27, I have no question for you personally as any discussion we would engage in will not change the verdict rendered that I do not support. I will however, leave you with this comment: jurors are expected to use their common sense, life experiences, and intuition when deciding on the trustworthiness of witnesses and the rendering a resulting verdict. Jurors should not rely on or express personal biases against either party.

Juror#27;3914073 said:
Every single witness who was questioned about whether they thought MJ was a good father (and almost every one who knew him closely was asked) sang endless praises about his love of his kids. If Prince's testimony is any indication, MJ was definitely a great father. The kid is bright, intelligent, caring, has great character and a great personality, and I truly believe MJ did a phenomenal job raising him in the few years he was able to. Honestly, every single juror came away feeling very positive about Michael Jackson as a person and father.

There were four plaintiffs. Testimony and evidence did not dismiss the fact that Michael idolized his mother as well as being an outstanding and loving father to his three children.

Juror#27;3914436 said:
Asking for a lot of money doesn't mean one is unethical in my estimation (and I hope the irony of repeatedly implying that in court was not lost on the plaintiffs ;D).

As the jury said no to question two, a discussion of potential damages to be found in question six and later is invalid.

Hi, Juror 27,

Thanks so much for joining us and for your candid and thoughtful comments. Many have already said what I would have said regarding your participation and how honored we are!!! Yay!!! :)

One thing I want to say, I appreciate that you pointed out the word "timeline." It is so important IMO for this trial. Ivy used the word "hindsight" in pointing out that many things re Dr. Conrad Murray were completely unknown until it was too late and MJ was already gone. To judge a hiring on the eventual outcome of Murray's treatment would not be fair to the defendants. The question remains, was there evidence to anticipate or to 'know' that despite his licenses, education, training, he was going to be one of the most incompetent and unfit doctors ever. I am convinced by the evidence presented that such was not a reasonable conclusion at the time he was hired.

As you might have noticed, the MJ 'fan community' has a number of heated, on-going debates within it, and it is sometimes a struggle to deal with these in a way that reflects MJ's message of love and tolerance. People strive to present their opinions in a way that respects the other party's views, but let's face it, we are not perfect--we are human--we make mistakes and we get caught up in our likes and dislikes, our deeply felt convictions, so please bear with us. :)

I would like to ask you this: How well did you think the case was managed? Do you think it should have been dismissed, as some have argued?
 
I was very happy to read your words, Jury No.27. that you have joined the band of followers of MJ. Maybe the trial has had a positive outcome after all. However, one or two points are bothering me. If AEG had checked Conrad Murray out, they would have discovered that his medical licences/board certifications in Nevada and Texas had expired in December, 2008. so indicating they were negligent in hiring him knowing that. Perhaps it didn't matter. But something else, I read that CM asked AEG for resuscitation equipment but failed to get it. Surely AEG would have wondered if he was carrying out a risky procedure, and was he competent? Over four years some information may have been forgotten. I don't remember hearing any of that in the civil trial.
I honestly don't see how letting a license lapse means that someone is negligent. Doctors let licenses lapse all the time when they are not going to practice in a particular state any more. What we were looking for was disciplinary action against Murray in the form of malpractice suits or complaints, something that would give a reasonable person cause to find Murray unfit or incompetent at the time they hired him.

Kathy Jorrie's "10 minute google search" of Murray was talked about at length at trial, but I am of the opinion that that is a reasonable amount of due diligence for someone who you are bringing onboard as a favor to someone else. If AEG had found out about CM's financial troubles and told MJ "We can't hire your doctor for you, because we have seen that he is in financial straits and is therefore likely to be unethical or unfit", I can't imagine that going over very well, either with MJ or in the media if the story were to get out.

I understand the reasoning behind saying NO to question number 2 because of its wording! But, because the jurors did find that Murray was Hired by AEG, for some anything he did wrong later should fall on their responsibility, regardless! And I can understand that too because they did hire him. I will always be split with this case and the verdict, both sides made good arguments IMO!
Think of it like this. A doctor works at a hospital and is caught stealing meds and performing unauthorized procedures in secret. When the hospital hired the doctor, there was nothing in his record that showed this kind of behavior. The doctor in this example should be held responsible, not the hospital.

The decision to deviate from the standard of care and to ignore his Hippocratic Oath was CM's, not AEG's.

Technically that was what the next question was about (3). And there I would agree with you. But q. 2 was about simple fact - was he competent or not to do the job. My logic is: the job required first aid skills, he didn't have them, hence - not fit.

It is a skill, because when you are taught first aid, you are taught that call 911 is the first thing you should do, before you start CPR. He didn't do it, and his excuse later was the he didn't call because he started doing CPR first. This technically means he didn't have the proper skill.
But that again is taking what we learned in hindsight and applying it to an earlier time frame. When you go to see your general practitioner, are you absolutely certain they can perform CPR? Don't you think it is reasonable to assume that a licensed doctor who is practicing medicine would know that? Is it really reasonable to say that AEG should have quizzed CM about how to perform CPR and whether calling 911 immediately in case of an emergency is the best course of action? I have never asked a doctor who is treating me these things and I doubt I ever will.

Want to thank Juror #27 for posting her thoughts on the trial verdict and on Michael. The last 5 months have been very painful as we watched Michael's privacy be so grossly invaded and his personal business broadcast across all forms of media. A media that salivates over salacious details about this lovely man. Based on what this juror explained and a bit of common sense, I agree with the verdict. Personally, I believe that Conrad Murray holds the majority, if not all, the responsibility for his patient's death. And to think his burden of guilt would be diminished in the slightest is totally unacceptable. Rather than the deep pockets of AEG, perhaps justice would have been served by not waiving restitution and hounding that man for every dime he attempts to pocket from what he did.

The fact that this juror and others were able to see the kindness, gentleness and caring that is at the core of Michael Jackson,certainly is a wonderful gift and a reason to finally smile. Thank you for sharing that with us.
You are very welcome. I just thought it was important to let you guys know that we did not come away with any negative feelings toward MJ. Quite the opposite, actually.

If I was to ask questions to the jurors, I would be curious about

- What did they think about the witnesses? Who did they believe to be honest and who did they believe to be not honest?

- and if they discussed it or considered it, what did they think about the other questions on the verdict form? or in other words of we assume question 2 wasn't on the form would the verdict change? (it looked like 2 jurors believed AEG didn't and couldn't know what was going on in regards to Propofol. I wonder if this was a widely shared belief)
1. We thought that most people were genuinely trying to be honest, but the way they were boxed in by the attorneys' questions often led to witnesses trying to clarify, avoid answering, or just answering something that wasn't asked, and that could sometimes come across as trying to hide something or being less than truthful. I thought Kenny Ortega was the most forthright out of everyone, and his testimony was a refreshing change because there was no dodging of questions or anything like that. His emails expressed sincere care and concern for MJ and his testimony in person just solidified and strengthened that feeling. He very obviously cared for and loved MJ. I didn't applaud when he left the witness stand because I thought that was inappropriate, but I understand the other jurors doing it. It was spontaneous and the result of the conclusion of a lot of heartfelt, riveting testimony.

2. I don't think if question 2 was gone the verdict would have changed. We did not discuss question 3 much once we reached a 'no' on question 2, but the impression I got is that there is no way we would have said that AEG knew or should have known that CM was unfit or incompetent and that his unfitness or incompetence would pose a particular risk to others. There was simply no evidence presented which would prove that AEG should have known that.

I hope the juror tells nothing about this, Ivy!
He would get into trouble if he would answer of such Question. All witnesses were put under the oath and if the juror would say "i believe Mr./Mrs. XYZ was not honest"... now, he could be sued for slandering. (IMO!)

But maybe in US it isn't so????
Actually in the jury instructions it explicitly said we are free to believe a witness or not, but I would never slander or disparage any of the witnesses I saw. The stress of being on that stand is unbelievable and I can't fault someone for their answers while in that hot seat unless I thought they were flat out lying, and I very rarely got that impression during this case.

Ivy you asked the question I wanted to ask too - about question #3 and how the jurors would have answered it, if it was discussed.

And just wanted to add a Thank you to Juror#27 for posting this really nice message. Know that a lot of MJ fans do think you made a reasonable and logical decision with that verdict.

A lot of us who answered the questions from the verdict form, answered with "no" the second question (and the third too).

Don't pay attention to the disrespectful people out there.
Thank you for the kind words. After hearing about MJ so much for the last 5 months and reading a bit more the last few days, I understand why some fans are so protective and emotional about MJ, so I know not to take their anger at the verdict personally.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post here juror#27, it is defintely appreciated don't let a few people's opinions bother you.
You are quite welcome.

"But his not calling 911 wasn't about skill or professional know how. A kid knows to call 911. Murray's was about covering himself and covering up. MJ was already dead when Murray started making any calls. And that he DID know."

Juror 27. Though I am not part of the majority here that supports the verdict, I do honestly commend you for having the courage to come here to explain the jury's decision (which I now better understand) and share your feelings but most importantly to acknowledge your softening of heart towards Michael. I always loved Michael's music and had a soft spot for him when the media began their 25 year attack mode but regretfully didn't become a passionate fan until after he died and I read everything I could get my hands on about him. Then I fell in love with the MAN and his goodness of heart. Please understand that Michael's fans have been in battle mode for years, some for decades. It has produced very protective and passionate advocates as we saw the human being behind the genius shredded and ridiculed. For all the joy that Michael gave us - which is immense - we are often a community in pain. Sometimes that bubbles over into overzealousness and anger and we suffer errors in judgment. However, if nothing good came out of this trial except that more people like you came to see the decent and loving and brilliant person that he was, then for that I am thankful. Thank you for caring enough to "talk" to us.
Yes, this is the impression I get from his fans. I promise that I won't hold the actions of a few against everyone. I'm very relieved to see that so many MJ fans are willing to discuss the case with reason and logic rather than get emotion. I understand being emotional but when dealing with law and facts I think logic and evidence should reign supreme.
 
For Juror #27 I'd like to ask what you thought of the judge in the case. Did you feel she controlled her courtroom well? How did you feel about the attorneys for both sides and which witnesses did you feel were not truthful? Which ones were the most truthful? Thank you again for joining us and giving us your thoughts.
 
Thanks again, Juror 27. I just read your wonderful post above in answer to questions that were posed.

I have one more: What was the most moving part of this trial for you? When were you most deeply touched by what you heard or saw?
 
Juror27, I have no question for you personally as any discussion we would engage in will not change the verdict rendered that I do not support. I will however, leave you with this comment: jurors are expected to use their common sense, life experiences, and intuition when deciding on the trustworthiness of witnesses and the rendering a resulting verdict. Jurors should not rely on or express personal biases against either party.
And whether you choose to believe me or not, I am telling you that not one juror on this case relied on or expressed personal bias against either party during the entire trial nor during deliberations. I don't understand where this comment is stemming from?

There were four plaintiffs. Testimony and evidence did not dismiss the fact that Michael idolized his mother as well as being an outstanding and loving father to his three children.
Again, I don't understand this comment? We all believed without exception that MJ idolized his mother and was an outstanding and loving father to his three children. I only mentioned Prince because he was the only one to testify in person and I was very impressed by him.

As the jury said no to question two, a discussion of potential damages to be found in question six and later is invalid.
Agreed, and we never discussed damages while deliberating. I was simply turning the plaintiffs' logic against themselves. They told us that someone asking for an outrageous sum of money is a red flag of unethical behavior. Does that logic not also apply to them? I ask only in a playful, rhetorical sense, because had we decided to award damages the ethics of the plaintiffs were completely irrelevant and would not have factored in at all.
