So, fertig mit Murray. Ist dieser Mann verrückt? Entweder hat er ein riesen mysteriöses Geheimnis, was er nicht erzählen darf, oder er ist völlig durchgeknallt. Ich glaube eher letzteres....
Glaube ich auch. Und auch von mir Danke für die aufwendige Übersetzungsarbeit.
Hier ist auch das Transcript von Tom Meserau der nach Ausstrahlung des IV anschließend das IV bei Piers Morgan kommentiert und sich zum AEG-Prozess geäußert. Zu dem was er zu Murray sagt stimme ich zu, aber nicht zu dem was er zum Familien-AEG-Prozess sagt. Er denkt die Geschwister (die sind doch gar nicht Kläger) haben einen starken Fall. Zudem führt er auf, dass er Michael nie unter Medikamenteneinfluss erlebt hat und fragt, warum hat AEG ihn engagiert, wenn sie denken er wäre so ein Risiko und investierten schon über 30 Mio. in die Show? Und hier muss ich fragen ist es nicht die Argumentation der Familie, dass AEG hätte wissen müssen, dass Michael Mediabhänig war, konkret Gongaware über Michael Praktiken bei früheren Touren informiert war.
Ich frage mich, ob Meserau sich wirklich richtig über den Fall informiert oder nur von der Familie gefüttert ist. Und bei aller Wertschätzung, die ich nach wie vor für ihn habe, hat er doch ein paar fragwürdige Aktionen und Projekte unterstützt (David-Gest-Doku, Spende von Michaels Bilder(kopien) an ein Krankenhaus und zuletzt die Sulvian-Buch-Promotion.

Coming next, Why Michael Jackson's mother is suing for $40 billion. Who's to blame for the death of the king of pop? I'll ask his former attorney.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON COOPER, HOST, CNN'S AC 360: At the heart of this trial, of the AEG trial, is a simple question. Were you an AEG employee, someone they had a responsibility for, or were you an employee of Michael Jackson? Can you answer that question?
VALERIE WASS, DR. CONRAD MURRAY'S LAWYER: I don't want Dr. Murray to answer that question.
COOPER: OK.
CONRAD MURRAY, MICHAEL JACKSON'S PHYSICIAN: No, I cannot. Not at this time.
COOPER: Okay. I understand that. Can I ask you, do you know -- I mean, do you know the answer to that question?
MURRAY: Absolutely.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MORGAN: Anderson Cooper just a few minutes ago talking to Conrad Murray and asking him the key question, who hired him? Murray's lawyer wouldn't let him answer, but the Jackson family is suing concert promoter AEG, saying the company is to blame for hiring Murray in the first place.
Joining me now, a man who knows Michael Jackson pretty well better than most people. Thomas Mesereau, who represented him, of course, during his molestation trial. Tom, fascinating interview that he had there with Anderson Cooper. What did you make of it, in particular that first clip there which I guess is into the key of all this. Who was employing Conrad Murray to be a practitioner for Michael Jackson?
THOMAS MESEREAU, MICHAEL JACKSON'S FORMER ATTORNEY: Well, there's no question in my mind, Piers, that the concert promoter employed Conrad Murray. Michael Jackson may have introduced Murray to them. But they had their lawyers draft an employment agreement, they sent that agreement to Murray to sign, he signed it. Apparently there's e-mail correspondence where they're admitting they had employed him. And I think they'll have a tough time getting out of that position.
MESEREAU: How will that affect the litigation that's about to start tomorrow with the family led by Michael's mother suing for $40 billion? How will that affect that, if you assume that what you've just said is correct, which I concur with? MESEREAU: I don't think this Conrad Murray interview is going to affect that case at all. I think everyone knows that Murray was incompetent. He was convicted of criminal negligence. He caused the death of Michael Jackson.
The question is, was AEG, the concert promoter, also negligent, and they can't just hide behind Conrad Murray. I think there's an e-mail trail where they're taking responsibility for hiring him. They're instructing him what to do, they're reminding him that they pay him his money. I think they'll have a tough time. I think Katherine and the kids have a strong case.
MORGAN: Let's listen to another clip. This is where he talks about Propofol, which is of course the killer drug.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MURRAY: Yes, indeed, I did order Propofol to his home, but I was not the one that brought Propofol into his home. I met him at his own stash. I did not agree with Michael. But Michael felt it was not an issue because he had been exposed to it for years and he knew exactly how things worked. And given the situation at the time, it was my approach to try to get him off of it. I never knew he was an addict. He was going to Dr. Kline's office and being loaded up with humongous -- you know, levels of Demerol. That was his addiction. And basically, this was causing his insomnia and -- because that's a huge side effect.
