Accommodations 3/16/11
By: Sharon B. Sidney
When I hear the word accommodations the first things that comes to mind is hotel stay and air travel but that’s not what I’m about to write about. Before I begin though let’s do a quick recap of issues concerning the Conrad Murray hearing.
In lieu of many confusing events I urged Jackson fans to be present when Dr. Murray was ordered to appear on March 2<SUP>nd</SUP> so everyone would know they were being watched. Ironically judge Pastor chose to hold that proceeding in chambers for someone’s comfort. I’m unsure whose but I have my speculations. If you want to know what transpired behind those closed doors of that public in chamber proceeding you’ll need to pay the court $1.00 per page or another option is to read my next blog because I plan to purchase it and any details they may have been hoping to bury in their secret public meeting.
I’m not sure if Michael Jackson’s fans are aware just how confusing things are. The world it seems heard media reports of what’s said to have transpired but did something far more sinister take place? If Murray did it, did he have accomplices and if he had accomplices could they have extended straight up into the police department and criminal justice system?
Why exactly is it that the court seems to have rolled out the red carpet for Conrad Murray, from the day he turned himself in at the airport only to fly out I’m told immediately after, possibly paying a miniscule amount of bail and never being cuffed and can someone was he being accommodated by the in chamber hearing?
I said judge Pastor seemed to be the nicest judge I’d watched but this is beyond nice and it seems the whole system is on Murray’s side. I can’t help but wonder would accommodations extend to violations of some law that could let Murray off Scott free on a technicality.
I wrote before something was up when judge Pastor originally set the date for jury selections. What happened? He had to change it to an earlier date to fit in the legal guidelines assessed by law for rights to fair trial.
How many jurors is he planning on having on his panel? My memory says it’s what he call a “27 pack,” 3 rows of 9 jurors. Can anyone say hung jury?
Judge Pastor has now moved the date of opening statements of trial proceedings from starting immediately after jury selection to May 9thafter both sides of counsel whined they’re not giving me what I need.
Neither side was ready for trial but it is prosecutions duty to be ready first because before someone can defend themselves the prosecution must provide the evidence against the defending party.. Still to this day with jury selections being roughly one week away the defense is waiting on coroner lab slides and surveillance footage from outside Jackson’s home. Are they intentionally trying to give the defense a reason to cry mistrial?
The defense is already making blatant assertions that the judge is partial to the prosecution and I can’t dispute that.
The date could have been split to accommodate in helping prevent to prevent Murray having his license to practice medicine revoked whereas the defense feared if trial was delayed other states would follow through on suspending Murray’s license as California had done. Defense attorney Flanagan did not approve of judge Pastor’s decision to delay/split trial though other parties agreed. I’m concerned Murray could later cry he was under duress when accepting his trial being split/delayed since sanctions of $1,500 a day would be added to his attorney fees for each day the judge feels they are not in compliance with submitting evidentiary evidence while he’s still lacking in child support.
I’m not certain why Gourjian was allowed onto the defense team but since his joining for the first time I have heard they subpoenaed Santa Barbara police officers, one by the name of Robles. Why is that? Could Santa Barbara P.D. be inline with having Murray take the fall of what seems to be a well thought out plan on Jackson’s demise. Again I ask why Santa Barbara P.D.?
I’ve heard many of Jackson’s fans plans to wait and attend the proceedings once the trail begins but if scrutinizing watchful eyes aren’t kept all may be swept under the rug. And forever hidden in sealed transcripts of the Conrad Murray trial.
Lastly it was reported judge Pastor may order surveillance footage to be given to the defense however on Feb. 24<SUP>th</SUP> judge Pastor ordered the prosecution to turn exterior surveillance footage of Jackson’s house over to defense stating “If there’s a problem let me know.”
I have one last question to leave you with, if it is possible for a huge cover up to be taking place will you turn a blind eye and catch snippets on the news of what transpired in the Conrad Murray trial or will you be there?
I’m hoping and praying that Jackson’s fans understand the seriousness of what is taking place from the hidden vials that witness testimony stated Murray administered and the confusing testimony in preliminary hearings to the miniscule minutes of footage from 24 hours of surveillance.
Let’s have the courts accommodate our demands for justice and truth. Encourage all you can to be there from here on out.
