Criminal Trial Our Best Chance For Separating Michael Jackson Fact From Fiction

By Elizabeth C.

THE CLOSET THE PUBLIC WILL EVER GET TO THE TRUTH about Michael Jackson's mental and physical state will come during the criminal trial of Dr. Conrad Murray on manslaughter charges.

For this reason, I'm looking forward to the testimony of Murray, Jackson family members, nanny Grace Rharamba, and any and all other players in the Michael Jackson death drama.

Media are already lining up outside the Los Angeles county courthouse awaiting Murray's "perp walk" as he is expected to arrive in court today to be formally charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Undercover police reportedly will be in the crowd to protect Murray from any crazed Jackson fan who might try to attack Murray.

Murray, a cardiologist who served as the pop icon’s personal physician during the months leading up to his death -- is expected to plead not guilty. Murray is accused of administering drugs intravenously to Jackson to treat him for insomnia. The Los Angeles coroner has ruled that that Jackson died from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

Jackson family members have waged a strenuous public campaign to have Murray charged with murder.

If this case makes it to trial, it will provide a rare peek behind the pampered pop star’s persona -- and our best change at separating Michael Jackson fact from fiction.

IF I Gve someone a gun and ask them to shoot me in the leg and they misktakenly shoot me in the heart , what would happen to me? even if mj was an addict the man had no more right than a pusher on the street to sell to anyone, why are people so wanting to put it on michael alone he could not have done this without the doctor , so yeah i believe he should be charge with with murder because he knew that he did not have the monitors or other device to keep him alive and he did not stay with him as he should have during the time this med was being given, you dont walk away while given this medication that is the medical protocol .
