my money is on AEG but it could go either way..
Yes is could it is who the jury will believe AEG or the Jakcons?

And he repeated that at the end. He said defense did not prove any evidence MJ wanted it. But I agree with you on this.Again he is saying Michael did not ask them for a contract for Muarry, but how does he know that.
Verdict form (as reported by CNN) : Jurors will have a verdict form with 16 questions to answer during their deliberations. A "no" answer to any of the first five would end their deliberations and the trial immediately.
Question No. 1
Did AEG Live hire Murray?
Yes / No
If you answered Yes then answer question 2. If you answered No stop here answer no further questions.
Question No. 2
Was Murray unfit or incompetent to perform the work for which he was hired?
Yes / No
If you answered Yes then answer question 3. If you answered No stop here answer no further questions.
Question No. 3
Did AEG Live know or should it have known that Murray was unfit or incompetent and that this unfitness or incompetence created a particular risk to others?
Yes / No
If you answered Yes then answer question 4. If you answered No stop here answer no further questions.
Question No. 4
Did Murray's unfitness or incompetence harm Michael Jackson and the Jackson plaintiffs?
Yes / No
If you answered Yes then answer question 5. If you answered No stop here answer no further questions.
Question No. 5
Was AEG Live's negligence in hiring, supervising or retaining Murray a substantial factor in causing Michael Jackson and the Jackson plaintiffs' harm?
Yes / No
If you answered Yes then the remaining questions. If you answered No stop here answer no further questions.
Questions No. 6-13
If jurors get to question six, it means they've decided AEG Live is liable in Jackson's death. The next eight questions would decide a dollar figure for the economic and noneconomic damages suffered by his mother and children.
Questions No. 14-16
The amount of damages calculated by the jury could be significantly reduced when they reach the last three questions on their verdict form. These ask them to decide how much, if any, Michael Jackson's own negligence was a factor in his death.
Gosh it's a pity but I can't listen to Panish anymore. I just can't stand chaos and this disorganized rambling is getting on my nerves. I am sure he has some good points but this lack of structure is is too much, so I will return after an hour when hopefully he will be done.
Indeed. How will the jurors establish what the doctor was there for without a valid written contract? Actions, verbal clues, and relationships establish implied contracts. Was the doctor taking care of Michael's "general care" by administering propofol negligently?
3:05 p.m. ET: Panish puts up a pie chart, showing how much responsibility each side has for Jackson's death -- 20% for Jackson and 80% for AEG Live.

I think you are very mistaken. After Murray's trial general public had to acknowledge the verdict which said Michael Jackson was a victim of neglected doctor. IMO the perception of MJ in the eyes of general public started to change in the right direction mostly because the media did not have many opportunities to remain the world about his weakness.
After awhile business corporations would start to use his music for advertisements again and the White House would appreciated him more as an influential person in an American culture. Like it was before sexual allegations.
I never doubted that Michael was able to reinvent his image for general public before his death and I still had hopes after his passing. The perception of general public is important for me as pop culture researcher. Unfortunately the latest trial almost stopped the reinvention process. I was happy that the media had other, more important events to cover during the last several months. But letting
cameras in the court room for closing arguments made the media enjoying their drug addiction stories again. During HLN coverage of closing arguments 60-70% of headlines were "Michael Jackson died of drug overdose". This is what general public got from this trial so far and I know very well it was avoidable.

The general public already had a very simplicistic view of his death and his "addiction". And I did not see many people from the general public interested in this trial. And no it won't make MJ less appreciated as an artist. Like I said if people would want to distance themselves from him because of how he died and his issues with Propofol, then the same people should also distance themselves from most other artists as well: Elvis died in a drug overdose, Kurt Cobain killed himself, Whitney Houston died after she used cocaine, and many of those who live also have drug issues. But still they are appreciated.
When it comes to perceptions about MJ I'm much more worried about those false child abuse allegations - they are a lot more harmful and if people distance themselves from him that is the real reason.
That's the point. Michael Jackson is very lucky that media is busy with other, more important issues and general public doesn't get the coverage it used to get about Michael Jackson. However I gave you an example just the little coverage happened so far. Just yesterday night HLN gave a whole hour again for chosen from general public 12 jurors to decide if MJ's should get $ 2 billions from AEG. Like the money would get to the kids. Katherine Jackson was mentioned only once or twice during the all show. Of course some of the jurors did mention "what the greed". Did the kids deserved this kind of comments? They were not even asked to be part of this suit. And I see a lot more that kind of comments in the future...
Putting your patient into a coma is not general medical care, anaesthesia is a specialist profession.
Bluetopez thank you for explaining the pie chart correctly.
Last Tear, be careful, that type of reasoning supports the plaintiffs'.
The Chart is to show how much blame goes to both MJ 20% and AEG 80% for Murray's actions for MJ death!
IMO this can help the jury actually find AEG liable!
Maybe the pie chart means that they are saying Michael's death due to Murray is mostly AEG's fault. Did anybody watch last night the HLN show HLN Dark? with Vinnie. This one lawyer was so rude about Michael and all his facts came from tabloids. Tom Messereau was on and like always he defended Michael so well.
The Chart is to show how much blame goes to both MJ 20% and AEG 80% for Murray's actions for MJ death! But, in no way it's excusing Murray, the guy is in jail for killing MJ, hello! The Jury ain't stupid they know that! After all this is to show the Negligence of AEG part so of course the chart will talk about that, it's what the trial was about, their PART in all of this! We know Murray's part, he had a trial! Anyway, I think The Jacksons got this, hopefully!? Not saying I agree with the percentage, that's up to the jury. But, let's not pretend many here didn't say MJ was an adult and also blamed him!
... I don't understand this big rooting for AEG here either, because IMO they are shady too. I don't care who wins this, it's all about the money for both sides and no one is the good guy here...
Last Tear, in the real world, the administration of propofol is not general care and a cardiologist is not qualified to administer it. The plaintiffs have maintained this. If you feel otherwise, you may want to clarify your statement so you will not be misunderstood.
