Re: MSNBC to air Conrad Murray Documentary "Michael Jackson and the Doctor" at 10 p.m. ET Friday Nov
So flanagan thought showing pics of mjs bedroom would win them the case. wow what a lawyer.
We don't have a direct quote that's what he even said, it's just speculation, and I can't seem to find anything to corroborate that. However, if true, that tactic evidently did not work. I'd be inclined to state it was just rumour mill stuff since none of that was even brought to trial.
Of course, we know there was nothing wrong with Michael having dolls in his room. He explained this in detail to that unworthy scumbag Martin Batshit, and his reasons for having them were perfectly sweet and beautiful. Not everyone can understand why people like to have dolls or toys around (I personally have a ton of stuffed animals in my room, and I'm not a child any longer, for example).
However, to bank on people's prejudices to acquit a murderer like Murray I think is really pushing it, and I doubt someone of Flanagan's experience and prowess would seriously believe something so extraneous would even help this case at all, hence why it was probably thrown out. AFAIK, the pics. of Michael's room were all brought by the pros. right? They certainly did not help the defence at all, that's for sure...
But, in regards to the documentary as a general concept, well...MSNBC gave (and continues to give) people like Martin Bashir a platform upon which to spew their venom, so are we really that surprised that they would jump on board with this "Fatal Friendship" documentary? Would it even be sympathetic to Murray? I don't honestly know--from the little I've unwittingly seen of it via previews, he seems to be pathetically blaming everyone but him, it wouldn't surprise me if he threw his own lawyers under the bus later on as he has done everyone and everything else in an effort to delude himself.
But, all that seems irrelevant--the general concept of exploiting the case is the thing of major concern here, so I will most definitely be writing letters to MSNBC and anyone else involved with this beast of a "documentary." I hope Judge Pastor is able to do something to stop it, although I highly doubt it. -sigh- All this of course after having our moment yesterday...it always seems things never work out for us in the end, eh? But, we owe it to Michael to fight the idiots at MSNBC and prevent this monstrous piece from ever seeing the light of day, much like we aborted that Discovery Channel documentary.
I am so sickened by this whole thing, I haven't sufficient words to express it. It's beyond outrage, and so soon after the trial... Some people are just chilling. =|
