Possible 'Manslaughter' Charges

As of this morning Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, has been placed under investigation for a possible manslaughter charge, relating to the death of the popular pop star, states Murrays lawyer.

A caravan of 15 cars arrived at the office on Montgomery Road in Houston shortly after 10:20 this morning. There were more than two dozen Los Angeles police detectives, DEA agents and Houston uniformed officers. All were geared up wearing raid jackets. Following the morning raid, his attorney Ed Chernoff said a search warrant "authorized law enforcement to search for and seize items, including documents, they believed constituted evidence of the offense of manslaughter."

This statement today was the first time any mention of a criminal investigation in the case has been made. Law enforcement officials "concluded their search around 12:30pm, and left with a forensic image of a business computer hard drive and 21 documents. None of the documents taken had previously been requested by law enforcement or the L.A. Coroner's office."

Jordan Chandler:

"Michael Jackson Never Touched Me"

June 29, 2009 by Richie

Michael Jacksons accuser went to the press today; he said that he could no longer live the lie and keep the secret that he has been keeping since 1993. Michael never touched him. The boy claims that his father ordered him to go and report that he had been sexually abused by the pop star on several different occasions. “It was my father’s way of saving his family from the poor house; he convinced me that it was my duty to help him make us all rich, promising me anything that I wanted for doing it.” Evan Chandler reportedly confessed.

The now young man says his biggest regret was not seeking out Michael Jackson and begging him for his forgiveness. “Now I will never be able to tell him just how truly sorry I am, I was young and just doing what I was told.” Evan realizes how much he destroyed Michael and he would do anything to take back some of the pain that his father caused.



My first reaction was to burst into tears, as an overwhelming sadness settled deep within me ... I was and always have been a staunch supporter of Michael Jackson. My gut feeling years ago when first accused was that there was an ulterior motive and that he was innocent of the charges. If this statement from Chandler is fact ... I would then ask how the hell could they do that to him. Greed ... not enough of a reason to completely and utterly destroy this man, both personally and professionally. It breaks my heart that Michael went to his grave before this young man and his cohorts revealed the truth. Unforgivable ... absolutely unforgivable.

This last week has been very unsettling ... actually the last 2 weeks have. Like so many others, I was shocked to learn of Michael Jacksons death. Now two weeks later, I am still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that we have lost one of the very best entertainers of our time, I'll correct myself ... of all time.

I so vividly remember the very first time I saw Michael on the "Ed Sullivan Show" ... he was just a child, but already such a seasoned performer. Little did we know at the time, just how far that talented little boy would travel. What an incredible, amazing, fantastic journey and I thank him for making my world a much nicer place.

Although I never had the opportunity to meet this man, I shared in his happiness and joy with each milestone he reached in his musical career and I also shared the pain that he encountered along the way. We all know that his personal life was shrouded in mystery and yes we are all familiar with the accusations that disrupted so many lives ... his most of all.

What we will never know ... is exactly what did happen behind closed doors, but I am sure that there will now be all sorts of people jumping on the "Tell All" bandwagon. If you've ever wondered why people do this ... it's simple. If they ever said anything of the sort while the person was still alive, they would be sued ... plain and simple ... but now that he's gone and unable to defend himself, I'm sure he will be targeted even more than ever. Myself ... I will always see him, as I have always seen him. My thoughts and feelings for this wonderful, talented man will never change and no matter what, I will continue to hold on to my respect and admiration for him.

It is now painfully obvious just how frail he was, both emotionally and physically and I can't help but think that the ongoing negative public opinion towards him the last few years, most likely contributed to his failing health. I must say that it is nice, to now see so many people around the world really admired and loved him despite it all ... I only wish that he had been appreciated more in life than in death.

My hope is that the world will treat his children with the same love, kindness and compassion that their Dad did. Yes ... I said Dad and I don't care who may or may not step forward to claim that title. Michael Jackson was their Daddy. I am also highly offended that the woman who bore the older two children for Michael has now stepped forward to grab what she can out of the cookie jar. She accepted an unspecified settlement for them years ago, walked out of their lives and showed very little if any interest in these children for the entire time they were in Michaels care. Even after his death was announced she did not want them, that is of course until the contents of his will was made known and she realized she had been overlooked. Suddenly she wants them ... oh I think not ... she does however see it as a way to procure 40% of the estate, left to the children. I can also say with a fair amount of certainty, that the woman who bore his youngest son, will most likely show up for her cut as well now. If any of these people truly cared about these children, they would not have found it so easy to walk out of their lives.

I believe that Michael had very good reasons for leaving the children in the care of his Mother, Katherine or his dear friend Diana Ross. I believe they were the two people that he both loved and trusted most. Neither of these women would care about the financial aspect of their placement with them and either would care for the children simply because they loved Michael and would love his children as well.

If the children are split up and placed in the care of anyone other than one or the other of these woman, I would be at an absolute loss for words. It was so obvious during the memorial service, that the children are loved, cared for and are protected within the extended Jackson family. I do hope that they are left in Katherine care, but I guess we will all find out on Monday.
