Thank you.
Yes @the bolded part. At least before the paperwork was drawn up in January 2009. Murray was already treating Michael prior to him being under contract with AEG.
There's a few problems with this suit, same as the Joe one, which is pretty much identical. But Team Jackson will find that out soon enough if they don't know already but have chosen to proceed anyway.
I read the suit and came here to ask the following...but I see someone else has already asked. Perhaps I my pdf didn't download the entire complaint or something?
@the bolded part. There's nothing in the suit that most of us haven't been hearing for a year. What I'm interested in NOW is the proof. Where's the paperwork submitted with the complaint? The exhibits? The agreement between Murray and AEG? The back and forth agreements with AEG and Murray? Where are the emails, correspondences, faxes, etc. that support the statements in the complaint? Would be nice to see them in their entirety to see if, in fact, what's stated is what the documents actually portray or if someone is giving their interpretation of said documents.
We went thru this with the AGE lawsuit and saw how that turned out. There's so much testimony mentioned in this complaint, yet no names attributed to witnesses or affidavits to support such (i.e. Karen Faye mentioning Michael being cold, etc...) Why isn't that statement attributed to her and an affidavit confirming such attached to the complaint? *confused* Same for all the other "facts"
Should someone acquire a link to the exhibits that accompanied (or should have accompanied) the complaint, please post. Should be interesting to see these items,
once and for all.
Until I SEE these exhibits/affidavits, I've not much to add to the discussion except to say if the family can PROVE any of this (meaning undisputable evidence), by all means, get AEG's ass. Otherwise (I shall hold my tongue and not say what I'm thinking).
Peace ya'll.
ETA:
Gotta agree with Memefan here that this lawsuit, same as Joe's, was drawn up poorly....seemingly by either an incompetent lawyer or one who's trying to cover up a lack of something, imo. Lawsuits submitted like this are generally this way because they are lacking substance. I'm NOT a lawyer but have been in the legal field for over a decade and can tell you every document the attorneys I've worked with ALWAYS had their "i"'s dotted and their "t"'s crossed. If they made a statement in a complaint, it was backed up by a name/affidavit in support. If they made a claim about a specific document, that document was attached as an exhibit. Everytime I see these kinds of shoddy complaints making broad statements from attorneys (mostly those on suits against MJ) they were generally in poor form...and we all know why...and how most of them turned out in recent years.
When those exhibits show up, perhaps I'll change my mind about the person who signed his name on the dotted line of this complaint.
