why no news on the investigation?

[GoldenLady]

I just hope justice will be served...or karma.

 

[TheOriginalPYT]

I am not being negative. I am being very realistic. Do not attack me pls.

How mature. I dissaprove/rep you, so you decide to do it right back at me. Take that! What is this?? High School or something?? I don't think a little critiquing is considered "attacking." But whatever...

 

[kes1984]

in about 4 weeks we should see an arrest. LAPD is just finalising there investigation now and will present it to the DA in about 3 weeks!

I pray that whatever happens, Justice is served and this wont be allowed to happen to anyone else!

Law enforcement sources close to the ongoing investigation into Michael Jackson's death tell RadarOnline.com that the Los Angeles District Attorney's [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]Office[/COLOR][/COLOR] are "extremely likely to have a [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]grand [COLOR=blue! important]jury[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

inpaneled to seek an indictment against Dr. Conrad Murray.

“This option is being heavily weighed by [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]the [COLOR=blue! important]office[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] for several reasons. The grand jury meets in secret, and no one associated with the proceedings, including witnesses can discuss anything outside of the grand jury room.
“More importantly, if Dr. Conrad Murray is indicted, there will be no preliminary hearing, and this is often done in high profile cases in Los Angeles. If an indictment is handed down, it goes straight to arraignment, and then to trial. The potential jury pool couldn't be tainted by saturated media coverage of a preliminary hearing."

If the district attorney does seek a grand jury for Dr. Murray, his lawyer, Ed Chernoff would receive a letter notifying him that a grand jury has been convened and invite Dr. Murray to testify, which he would most likely be advised not to attend.
Grand juries could indict Dr. Murray on charges from second [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]degree[/COLOR][/COLOR] murder to involuntary manslaughter, or reject charges all together, although in Los Angeles, "grand juries are known to indict ham sandwiches" the law enforcement source says.

I think so too. It's actually been a sort of welcome break for me. I've gone 5 whole days now without tears streaming down my face at least once (downright shocking - it's the first time since Jun 25th), and I think part of that is that there is no news to dwell on. But I keep feeling that any day now it will be "breaking news - dr conrad murray arrested"... and thus will begin the next chapter of the nightmare, with plenty of heartbreaking bits of news for months...

I agree with you. In a way it has been sort of relief, a blessing of sorts, to heal and prepare, if any, for what will come about next without being emotional. We need to be strong of all us for what will come next.

I think this is a good sign the LAPD is taking they're time. Maybe they don't want to make any mistakes in the case. It's Michael and there were a lot of doctors and pharmacies and others involved in this homicide. It's not going to be easy to track down in a short period of time.
Some say in a few months, my estimation, like Anna Nicole's Smith's case, this won't come about till December maybe and court proceding will start maybe next year. This isn't something you want to rush through. This is SERIOUS...

Today at the TMZ live video chat they once again said that their sources tell them that arrests will be done at the second week of october.

 

[babybugz1]

Well there are other things happening in the world and the general public will move on but I guess once the investigation is over we will here about it again

As if people haven't already had their views tainted by the media

Not familiar with the US Justice system, can some one explain what happens when a grand jury meets in secret? ~ Is that the case throughout the whole trial?

 

[Soso Deaf]

no. it's just a group of people who meet and hear the evidence. the state presents their case, the defense can come if they want...but this is a secret one, but they will be asked if they wanna show some exculpatory evidence. if not, then the gj decides on whether or not to indict.

when u do it like that, then u don't have a prelim hearing

Thank you

"Indict" ~ does that mean take it to trial?

So, a group/jury of people (is that 12? people), decide whether they feel the LAPD/State have sufficient evidence to try the case is that right?

Do they have all that jury selection business first?

What happens if they decide ~ no? ... is that it, done and dusted forever?

Sorry for all the questions, just wondering how it will all work.

To be honest, I really don't mind how long it takes, so long as everyone responsible is brought to justice, I'm not expecting to see that happen though

 

[ElleBella]

Ya know, I really want to say that he'll be arrested soon...but I just went to TMZ and they have a story about Anna Nicole Smith and realized, she died in what 2007? All her doctors and people around her have just recently been arrested...I sure hope since Murray admitted to it, it will be quicker but stuff like that is kind of a let down.

there's more than 12 people. there is no jury selection, it's a 'random' process.

if they decide no, they can still charge him but the gj is showing that it'll be hard to convince a real jury. a gj will indict any thing, pretty much. the term that's always being uses i they'll indict a 'ham sandwhich' so that's not saying much.

 

[ani_geleia]

Like someone said in another thread, let's hope that they are crossing every T and dotting every I so that justice can be made.
