"D.A. Wants MJ Rehearsal Footage

Video of Michael Jackson's last two rehearsals for the "This Is It" tour could be played in open court during Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial ... if the District Attorney gets his wish.

The L.A. County District Attorney filed a motion today asking the judge to allow the rehearsal footage from June 23 and June 24 to be entered as evidence in Murray's trial.

According to the motion, the D.A. believes the footage will support expected testimony from "This Is It" director Kenny Ortega that Michael was "happy and excited for the future."

The D.A. says that testimony opposes the defense's theory that hours after the last rehearsal Michael "did a desperate act and took desperate measures that caused his own death."

The D.A. also filed a motion to allow limited photos from MJ's autopsy -- claiming the pics are not "gory or gruesome" ... and won't prejudice the jury."

Re: Prosecution Evidentiary Requests from the Judge / Request to limit hearsay statements

Tbh they dont seem to be testifying for him in the sense of supporting him.from reading the motion murray went to these 2 in order to get his new stories out there without having to testify himself. Murray brings up the drinkingetc etc and they write up a report based on it.ie a report based on hearsay and not medical facts

Agree completely.

Isn't it odd that an 'expert' would be willing to base 'expert' opinion on the 'word' of the accused. Makes it all meaningless.

Thanks for the explantaion. i also wonder why detectives didnt test the syringes?

Flanagan said: "Jaime explained to me that they only do quantification when it is relevant for cause of deathe and I'll agree that contents of the syringe would have nothing to do with cause of death, but it maight have someting to do with the instrumentality that was used to cause the death. They don't normally quantify unless it is diagnostic".
...
The important thing is that the defense had the opportunity to do the test they had been requesting for months and months …(to "prove" or disprove their theory) and didn't do it.

The defense chose not to do this test which would have DISPROVED his speculations…The explanation for the higher ratio of lidocaine over the propofol in the gastric content was provided by Dr. Rogers at the preliminary, being medication by paramedics one of the probable reasons (gear intubation equipment as Sophie quoted is usually used with lidocaine). (Besides, as Dr. Rogers stated the amount of propofol (which is WHAT MATTERS) in that content was too tiny, with lower concentration than in blood and the reasons for its presence there were fully explained by him as well).


I do hope the judge grants DA motions, particularly this one (point 2). (To take judicial note that defense had their opportunity... so as NOT TO MISLEAD the Jury).

PS: Sorry if it seems we are talking about different issues, but there were several motions... and this one (2) is very important too.
- I have just realised the two threads have been merged, that's explain it...

Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

As long as the pics are privvy only to the jurors, I'm alright with it.
An amazing human being life was cut short under the hands of a grossly dyfunctional shrink.
3 young kids were left
orphaned with nobody they care about reading them bedtime stories.
Help is too little too late.
A man gone too soon.

exactly, so in all honesty like the prosecution said it's hearsay since it isn't based on facts of the case. The judge should not allow those two 'doctors' to testify if they are not basing their opinion on fact. The first thing the anesthesiologist should be asked is if he thinks it's ok to use propofol as an everyday sleep aid and if it's ok to use it without monitoring equipment and is it ok to ever leave a patient alone under anesthesia?
 
Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

To be realistic, even if the pictures did leak, you control your own destiny and have the option of simply ignoring them, therefore not seeing them at all. I doubt any longstanding member will post the pics here, I don't think we have much to worry about. With that said, it'd be done in any other homicide case, this should be no different.
 
Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

easier said than done. interms of not seeing the pics. all over newapper front pages magazines websites.etc etc
 
For the jurors eyes only? Then I´m okay with it. The fans being inside the courtroom should not see those photos.

I understand what you are saying but, this is Michael Jackson we’re talking about. :(
If those pictures leak, It will be all over the news. Everyone will know about it. Once it hits the internet
there is no way to get them back. Haters will be all over those pictures and use them to taunt MJ fans.
Just imagine all those degrading comments people will make about Michael if those pictures are ever leaked.

I pray those pictures never leak :cry: :no:

With all the evidence that Murray already gave to the prosecution,with his lies blablabla, there is no need to show these pictures to send him in jail.

Well, right now, Murray is as free as a bird.
So, I take nothing for granted.

Jackson Rehearsal Footage to Be Shown at Trial

Prosecutors can show limited clips of Michael
Jackson's final rehearsals during the trial of the
doctor charged in his death, a judge ruled Thursday.

The decision came after Deputy District Attorney
David Walgren argued the footage from the film "This
Is It" shows Jackson was highly engaged in preparing
for his comeback tour and was not desperate to make
it a success, as defense attorneys for Dr. Conrad
Murray have claimed.

Prosecutors plan to show Jackson performing "The
Way You Make Me Feel" and "Earth Song" while
director and choreographer Kenny Ortega testifies
about the pop star's demeanor before his death.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary
manslaughter. Authorities contend he gave Jackson a
lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the bedroom
of his rented mansion. Defense attorneys are trying to
build a case showing Jackson may have given himself
the fatal dose.

Defense attorneys objected to showing the film
footage, claiming it was edited to show Jackson in the
best light. They noted that not all of the footage was
shot in the two days before Jackson's June 25, 2009,
death and should be excluded.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor ruled
prosecutors can only show footage from Jackson's
rehearsals on June 23 and June 24. He also said the
footage must be edited to remove some of the special
effects and visuals, particularly images of whales,
polar bears, a "cute little girl" and other "flora and
fauna."


Pastor said showing the footage wasn't meant to be
entertainment, and it didn't matter if the entire songs
were shown.

Defense attorney Ed Chernoff sought an opportunity
to review raw footage of Jackson's rehearsals, but
prosecutors said they do not have it. They suggested
that Murray's attorneys subpoena it from Sony
Pictures, which purchased rights to the footage after
the singer's death.

The judge also was considering whether to allow
images of Jackson's autopsy to be shown to jurors
during trial. Pastor said he wants to review the images
prosecutors propose to show before making a
decision.

Walgren said he plans to show "a handful or less" of
autopsy photos, which defense attorneys say is
unnecessary.

Judge says 2 Michael Jackson Autopsy Photos Can Be Shown During Doctor’s Manslaughter Trial

By Associated Press, Thursday, April 21, 1:03 PM

LOS ANGELES — A judge hearing the Michael Jackson manslaughter case says prosecutors can show jurors two images from the singer’s autopsy.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor ruled Thursday that prosecutors trying Dr. Conrad Murray can show what Pastor described as benign photos that are not graphic or gruesome.

Deputy District Attorney David Walgren says he intends to introduce photos during the upcoming trial that will be carefully displayed.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Authorities have accused him of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in the bedroom of his rented mansion in June 2009.
Murray’s attorneys have suggested in recent months that the singer may have given himself the fatal dose.

Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

I feel the same way about these pictures. If they are shown, I hope they never make it public. I would never want to see MJ like that.
 
Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

I know that if those 2 photos are made public I'll end up going to look at them and that I'll never forget them :(. They better not leak.
 
Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

I hope the autopsy pictures don't land on the internet. I won't be able to deal with that. I wanna remember him the way he was in This Is It.
I know. I fear this as well. I still wish that I never read the autopsy.

Oh my word. Anyway, I hope these pictures stay in the court room only.
 
Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

guys dont worry these photo's WILL NOT be made public....they will be kept under very tight security.....we will NEVER see them the family prob wont even see them...just the jury I think ...and probably of course Judge Pastore.
 
Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

This just makes me want cry more and angry. I would have NEVER thought MJ would have died in this manner and his body get treated this way. He should have been an OLD man who died with peace after a long great life. Not at 50 years old from something stupid as this.
 
Re: Prosecutors Seek to Show Video of 'Active, Energetic' Pop Star Before His Death

They take away his dignity. :no:

MJ Autopsy Photos ALLOWED In Dr. Murray Trial

The judge in the Conrad Murray involuntary manslaughter case has allowed prosecutors to present TWO photos taken at Michael Jackson's autopsy to be used as evidence at trial.

0421-mj-bn-ambulance.jpg


TMZ has learned ... one of the photos shows the pop star clothed -- while laid out on a gurney.

The other photo shows Jackson's naked body -- but the judge explained "certain parts" will be "blocked out." He didn't explain which parts
.

The judge ruled the photos are relevant under the evidence code -- and are "not gruesome, graphic or inflammatory."
 
Re: MJ Autopsy Photos ALLOWED In Dr. Murray Trial

Oh god.
How are they showing photos? Will the media also see them? Because if they do, it means the photos will be all over the news sites and probably end up in Wikipedia. Oh my god. :(
 
Re: MJ Autopsy Photos ALLOWED In Dr. Murray Trial

This is already in the status hearings discussion thread.
