Re: Conrad Murray is asking a judge to release him from jail pending appeal
Flanagan showed his hate for mj during the doc. of course thats an factor when u keep pushing a case where u have no chance .especailly when u look back to some of the things said by those two in their attempt to defend murray ontop of the fame of being
involved. sneddon didnt try to lynch mj for the good of the legal system did he
Sneddon truly did everything within his power and more to try and make Michael's life a living Hell, and if I understand it rightly he was upset over MJ being the richest person in the whole county, etc. Then the rumours someone wanted Neverland territory for vineyards. He pursued the thing with a lot of zeal, for over ten years. Neither Flanagan nor Gourjian showed up in anything MJ-related until now.
Yes, I am aware as to what was said in the documentary, but that's not enough to allege that's his rationale for stretching this thing out. Like I said, he overstretched the Britney Spears thing also, seems to be his method of doing things, and again... free exposure, fame, from being involved in a high-profile case. I think we'd still see them stretch it out if this were a case involving someone else's death. [Unless you want to make an argument he's very passionate about Britney Spears, lol].
Neither Flanagan nor Gourjian have much of a reason for being further involved other than their own selfish motives, they both seem like self-centered individuals, so if there was a reason, their own self-interest would be it. Sneddon was a rare case, and he obviously took MJ's wealth as some kind of a personal insult, but Flanagan and Gourjian don't appear to have strong opinions either way. They could have said and done worse than what they have done up to this point [especially now that the trial is over], yet they didn't/haven't, because they obviously don't care very much.
Like I said previously, the world doesn't revolve around MJ and it's obvious most people aside from us fans don't give a crap either way. Flanagan, Gourjian, and Chernoff used Murray and his case to get some free press, and that's it. The lot of them are walking out on him come appeal time, Chernoff did already because he cannot afford to stay in CA anymore, not because he had some revelation. He'd still be there if he could.
But if what you said were true, that their so-called hatred for Michael was their reason, why not represent Murray during appeal also? Obviously none of them want to do that. And, as for the things they tried to claim during the trial--they're lawyers trying a hard case with nothing at all to justify their client's actions. The only thing left to do was try and shift the blame somewhere, and there were only two people in that room at the time. That's obvious.
Comparing Gourjian and Flanagan to Sneddon I think is unfair and a criminal stretch. Sneddon caused so much damage to Michael's life and truly did everything in his power to hurt him. Neither Gourjian nor Flanagan have done anything save express their opinions, which they are entitled to, as poor as they might be.
