Conrad Murray was just sentenced to the maximum 4 years of prison for his crime against Michael Jackson.
I feel it's, again, bittersweet. Although the judge felt it callous that Murray did not take responsibility for what he did, I felt Murray justified it by knowing he wasn't the one that gave the injection.
His defense team will be filing for an appeal and it remains to be seen what time he actually will serve or where, due to LA County laws and overcrowding.
Michael says; "I feel that no amount of time will replace what I had. Again, I don't feel anyone will do justice to any of these men. I hope that in the future you will all take into account all that has been given of every human being on the planet. Our actions, our thoughts, our wishes and our dreams are all a part of us and the universe. Belief in yourself the most crucial thing you can possess. Don't let others or your opinion of others influence your knowledge of what is. Conrad Murray is not, and was not solely responsible for my death.
I again, thank you so much, really for the support of my family and children."
If you search any key words on the internet, you are bound to find a dozen sites by fans all over the world collecting evidence that supports the fact that Michael Jackson was murdered. The recent press release I've posted on the blog encompasses some of that evidence. Here is the evidence point by point:
Michael Jackson fans all over the world have put the pieces together for the LA County Court. There is even evidence that LA County has that has gone missing and they have turned a blind eye to. When the Jackson family asked to see the surveillance tape of Michael’s estate their request was denied
"They were already in that house and they didn’t want us to see who was leaving. When I got on the scene, I asked the police officers, ‘Where are the surveillance tapes? I want you to pull them.’ They said, ‘Well.’ ‘I want to see everything on it. I want to see it.’ I asked them over and over and I haven’t seen it to this day and I just learned just the other day they erased it, so they say. [...]”
"A fingerprint on the syringe bag, a slashed syringe bag, and missing bottle of Propofol and a missing surveillance tape; that indicates to me that somebody else was in the house and got out with that surveillance tape:
and when the 2002 will that Michael Jackson himself asked John Branca to return to him in a written letter, was produced, the LA County’s office again turned a blind eye.
"MR. OXMAN'S FILING NOV 9th THIS LETTER WAS INCLUDED IN THE FILING.
FILING: NOV 9,2009 DATE OF HEARING: NOV, 10, 2009 8:30am SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES PLACE: DEPT 5 JUDGE: HON. MITCHELL L.BECKHOFF Joseph Jackson's objection to Appoinment of John Branca and John McClain as Executors of The Estate of Michael Jackson.
RE: DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICES February, __ 2003 This is one of the pages of the 71 page filing."
"John Branca as a board member and 5% share owner of the Sony/ATV catalog. In continuation we have John Branca as a previously fired attorney for Michael Jackson, John Branca as a subject of investigation for conspiracy and embezzlement during Michael’s 2005 child molestation charge and John Branca as a friend of Tommy Mottola.
Branca was a loose end out there in Never-Neverland (Captian Hook !) until he produced the 2002 will that he was supposed to turn over to Michael when Michael demanded it in 2003 after firing him. He was still friends with Mottola and still representing Sony on deals. Branca is the connector with everything Sony in regard to Michael Jackson. Frank DiLeo, Branca, Mottola, McClain, the Sony/ATV and MiJack Catalogs, and the forged 2002 all have Branca relationships"
Seems there is corruption in court system. According to Richard I Fine, PhD., former prosecuting attorney, there is a preposterous amount of judicial briberies in the system. Most of them taking money from trust accounts to pay the judicial officials off.
"Fine challenged and corrected state corruption, returning about “$350 million to California taxpayers which state, county and municipal governments (unlawfully took from) ‘special funds’ and ‘trust funds’ in a series of taxpayer cases filed in federal” and state courts," source: https://sites.google.com/site/freerichardfine/Home
Recent news of the Estate of Michael Jackson, which includes John Branca (also shareholder of Sony/ATV) purchasing EMI Publishing with “trust funds” set up by the Estate and the request for a monetary settlement from Conrad Murray for Michael’s kids, only fattens the Estate, not the children. Looks like the Estate is diverting those funds in salaries, other trusts, and purchases of assets in collaboration with, you guessed it - Sony/ATV, whom both current Estate executors have a stake in. One might think this was a conflict of interest.
"Sony/ATV Music Publishing and its strong and experienced management team will help oversee EMI Music Publishing on behalf of the Group. Sony/ATV Music Publishing is co-owned by subsidiaries of SCA and trusts formed by the Estate of Michael Jackson."
"According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, the D.A. has asked Judge Michael Pastor to order Conrad pay the money to the kids as they are "entitled to wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim". The D.A. cites a letter from the Michael Jackson Estate,which estimates Michael would have made $100 million in revenue from the 'This Is It' concert residency which he was preparing for when he died"
"Distribution rights for “This Is It” were sold to Sony Pictures, another unit of Sony Corp., for $60 million and the movie went on togross $252 million worldwide, the most of any concert film ever."
"Two men administering Michael Jackson ’s estate are seeking 10 percent of profits they’re able to generate from the late pop superstar’s work. Attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain filed a motion yesterday asking a court to approve the compensation. It is unclear exactly how much Branca and McClain would be paid, but they are seeking to run a company that would oversee a business based on Jackson’s works."
Nine months after Michael Jackson’s death, his estate has signed one of the biggest recording contracts in history, giving Sony, Mr. Jackson’s longtime label, the rights to sell his back catalog and draw on a large vault of unheard recordings."
Especially when AEG, the company that was to promote the concert series for the This Is It venue, only days after Michaels murder filed for copyrights to all of the footage from rehearsals. According to Kenny Ortega’s testimony in the Conrad Murray trial, he stated more than once that the footage was for Michael’s “personal” use. If it was than how did AEG come by it and claim rights to it?

"statement from Kenny Ortega: " There weren't always cameras rolling. The cameras didn't start rolling -- well, sometimes he had a private camera rolling, and sometimes we had cameras rolling at rehearsal. It was always if he asked it. It was per his request. For no one else."
Back in the day, murder and conspiracy could be covered up for years without anyone knowing any different. Today, however, there are technologies that offer assistance in exposing the truth.
Although it seems Michael's murder has been covered up, there are a number of people who are still pursuing the truth of what happened. Maybe for some knowing the truth is enough. For those of us who like to live Dangerously, however, we demand justice.
This morning I sent the following press release to Associated Press and will be following up with other press outlets as well. I am asking that as many of you as possible copy and paste this release and send it to as many media outlets as you have in your area as well.
We can use the very thing that those people who tried to ruin Michael used in trying to bring him down to bring those that should be held accountable to justice - the Media.
MICHAEL JACKSON MURDERED - COURT EVIDENCE COVERED UP BY LA COUNTY
FANS DEMAND JUSTICE
Michael Jackson fans all over the world have put the pieces together for the LA County Court. There is even evidence that LA County has that has gone missing and they have turned a blind eye to. When the Jackson family asked to see the surveillance tape of Michael’s estate their request was denied and when the 2002 will that Michael Jackson himself asked John Branca to return to him in a written letter, was produced, the LA County’s office again turned a blind eye.
Seems there is corruption in court system. According to Richard I Fine, PhD., former prosecuting attorney, there is a preposterous amount of judicial briberies in the system. Most of them taking money from trust accounts to pay the judicial officials off. Recent news of the Estate of Michael Jackson, which includes John Branca (also shareholder of Sony/ATV) purchasing EMI Publishing with “trust funds” set up by the Estate and the request for a monetary settlement from Conrad Murray for Michael’s kids, only fattens the Estate, not the children. Looks like the Estate is diverting those funds in salaries, other trusts, and purchases of assets in collaboration with, you guessed it - Sony/ATV, whom both current Estate executors have a stake in. One might think this was a conflict of interest. Especially when AEG, the company that was to promote the concert series for the This Is It venue, only days after Michaels murder filed for copyrights to all of the footage from rehearsals. According to Kenny Ortega’s testimony in the Conrad Murray trial, he stated more than once that the footage was for Michael’s “personal” use. If it was than how did AEG come by it and claim rights to it?
For those who think the Michael Jackson fans are crazy for thinking there was a conspiracy to murder Michael Jackson, they better think again. LA County best be on notice. The evidence is stacking up to prove the case. Do we really believe that the Michael Jackson fans are better at litigation than the court system in LA? What are they being paid to do? Cover up or button up?
What is the definition of conspiracy? According to law, conspiracy is anagreementbytwoormorepersonstocommita crime,fraud,orotherwrongfulact. I've seen many posts regarding the "players" involved in Michael's murder. Michael has told me some things that I haven't revealed, hoping that in time I would be able to reveal them to the right party in order to get justice. However, I've recently run across a few things that LaToya just made statements about. Perhaps it's time to let go of some details.
Michael and I have discussed the night of his murder many times. Some of what he had said was that Paris saw someone the night of his murder. I actually sent a letter to the family last year with this information, hoping that it would help with their discovery. He also, obviously as I've posted it previously, had stated that "someone gave him a shot".
I recently came across this video of LaToya taken on 11-20-11 where she confirms both of these details. Listen to who else they say was in the house that night:
Randy Phillips?! Wasn't he the guy that had such an resemblance to the past life Casanova in my previous post? Wasn't he the one with his hands over his mouth in the picture that I likened to the body language of Bill Clinton when he said he never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky? Yes. What do these three men have in common? In the spirit of Christmas, ELF might say they "sit on a throne of lies!"
Matter of fact in the post about the Dr Seuss rhyme and the discovery of AEG filing for copyrights of the This Is It film footage, that's EXACTLY what I was talking about. Dileo and him ransacked the home, taking out songs, contracts, paperwork, including Michaels NEW will AND appointment of his new executors. "With a little Dr Seuss humor, where exactly did Michael have all of his unreleased material? Was it at a house? With a mouse? Or in car? Carried far?"
I sent the LA County DA's office this on November 13, since I had testimony evidence to back up what Michael had said:
I have some information related
to the death of Michael Jackson and hope that your department may be continuing
an investigation.
I
noticed the
testimony of the girl Conrad Murray met, you know the one he was talking to on
the phone when Conrad Murray found Michael apparently not breathing? She heard
mumbled voices. Conrad and Michael were not the only ones in that
room.
Frank
Dileo was also there as well as another individual. The evidence pointing to
this is here:
On June 25th,
Frank Dileo called Randy Phillips to tell him Michael had been taken ill. He
drove quickly to the house in time to see the ambulance and the family cars
leaving the property. He followed them to the UCLA Medical Center and was there
all day.http://www.mjworld.net/news/2011/10/25/court-report-11/
I don't remember hearing this
if it was in court, but
this is what Frank said during an interview:
“I was having lunch at the Beverly Hilton.
And I got a phone call from a fan who was said, ‘Frank, do you know there's an
ambulance in front of Michael's house?’
And I said, no, I don't,
but I'm going to look right into it. And I hung up. I called Michael's
assistant. And I said --his
name is Michael, also.
I said Michael, is there an ambulance at
the house?
He said, that's what I
heard. He said, I'm on my way.
And I said, well, I'll be there in one second. I went in to get my ticket for
the car. And I called Randi Phillips (of AEG) and said look, you're closer to
Michael's house than I am at this moment. Go there right away, I'll meet you
there. Drove there, the ambulance had already left, asked Randy. He turned
around. I came from the other direction. I went to pull in, they said, Frank, he
left. I said where did he go? To the hospital. I drove to
UCLA.”
I don't know, but how would a "fan" have
Frank Dileo's cell number? Both of these stories conflict. One he is
following them, the other he was too late. I guess we won't find out because
Frank died just before the trial was due to start. And Michael's assistant
saying that's what he heard? According to his testimony he was only told to go
to the home. 911 wasn't even called yet. He apparently didn't know until he
got there:
Following the commands of Conrad Murray, Alvarez
is then told to call 911 and he immediately does so. And what you'll learn is
that 911 call was made at 12:20 p.m. What you'll also learn from the evidence is
that phone call was not made at 11:56 or thereabouts when Sade Anding had heard
the phone go dead and heard commotion in the background. That 911 call was not made at 12:12 p.m. when
the defendant called Michael Amir Williams to say there had been a problem. That
911 call was not made at 12:15 when Michael Amir Williams returned the call and
spoke to Conrad Murray who only relayed to him that he needed to get there right
away. The 911 call was instructed to be made by Conrad Murray at 12:20
p.m.
Dileo video on MJ's death day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcBeq1GH97c&feature=related confirming the above AND ironically he's
telling time: He says he had an "early" lunch, 11:30- "lunch just arrived" he
said when a call came in from a fan to say there was an ambulance at MJ's house
. . note: 911 wasn't called until 12:20 . . .
I'm wondering if Michael Amir's phone records confir this or
not. I believe Michael Amir Williams was involved in covering up pertinent
evidence or involved - who else was fingerprinted to match the prints on the IV
bag? I believe there were two other vehicles that entered into the gates that
day: a red jaguar and an older blue sedan. I believe there was another
individual that works for Conrad Murray that was present. Brown hair , white,
in his early thirties, standing 5'9" - 5'10", shorter hair, dark beard, was
wearing sunglasses, short sleeved shirt with red stripes(piping) on his pants
(jeans) . Hair parted to the side, freckles, round mouth and puggy nose, open
shirt.
I believe Nicole Alverez has(had) evidence contained in her
vehicle relating to this case. I believe that one of the above mentioned
vehicles was hers.
The motive for Frank to be there was on the board with
Sony/ATV who was after Michael's catalog of music. AEG made sure the contract
Michael signed included the clause if the concerts were not performed they would
get those rights. They made it impossible for Michael to do so and so did get
the rights. AEG made a deal with Sony and the executers of the estate. The
home where Michael stayed was owned and payed for by AEG, CM was supposed to be
paid by AEG, and Frank Dileo was supposed to be paid by AEG - his wife has the
contract. Or should I say fronted the money by AEG. The money changing hands
seems to be an issue as the security personnel, I believe, were also being paid
directly or indirectly by AEG. Has anyone checked the accounts for large sum
wire transfers since the verdict of Conrad Murray?
There is a notebook(black padded) that apparently contains
some times(3:25 am) from Murray, and things that are missing from Michael's
home: cash, jewelry, rehearsal items. a will, guardianship papers, stock
options, songs that were written, lawyer rights to songs. He told Paris that
daddy's going to feel better one day. Then it became daddy needs to rest to lay
down and get well. She was like a little mother. She told him "don't worry
daddy I'll take care of you"..He was cold and his fingers were going
numb.
I've contemplated sending this, but at this
point have no reason not to and hope you see no reason not to check it out.
I found this article after I sent the email: http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/27/dr-murrays-storage-unit-files-may-hold-clue/#.TtB8f7KVrUA It's actually an article from TMZ stating there were boxes taken from a storage facility rented by Dr. Murray in Texas. I believe those files and information are in one of his offices in Texas now. The women arrived at the facility 3 hrs BEFORE 911 was called the day of Michael's murder.
So that was the email sent with no response. What I did learn, is that Frank DiLeo was not a very good lier. In the video and in his explanation it is apparent that he is "over" explaining, then conflicting his statements. I find it especially interesting that he calls Randy Phillips to let him know right away before he even knows what's going on to tell him that Michael is ill. Again, I wonder if this is reflected in the phone records, that should have been given and in the hands of the LA District Attorney's office...YES, this would be evidence . . YOU ASKED, We're GIVING IT . . PLEASE LISTEN . . BECAUSE . . Here is what's going on in the mean time...
The Estate has asked for restitution for the kids. See this article:
Now what they don't report is where is the restitution going? In Paris's bank account? No, to the Estate perhaps? More than likely. Then low and behold what will they do with the money then, set it aside for the kids? No. . that would be the "right" thing to do. . This is what the executors of the Estate and Sony have been up to. Remember the Conrad Murray stint, his interview on TV that had everyone up in arms? It was televised on 11/11. What do you do when you don't want someone to pay attention to what you are doing? You create a diversion. Good ole Dr. Murray, stepped right into a whole pile of *@. . because while his documentary was airing this is what his bed buddies were doing:
11/11/2011 | 09:55 pm
Sony Corporation : INVESTOR GROUP INCLUDING SONY CORPORATION OF AMERICA ENTERS INTO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE EMI MUSIC PUBLISHING FROM CITI
New York, London and Abu Dhabi -- An investor group comprised of Sony Corporation of America ("SCA"), in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson; Mubadala Development Company PJSC; Jynwel Capital Limited; the Blackstone Group's GSO Capital Partners LP; and David Geffen (the "Group") announced today the execution of a definitive agreement, whereby the Group will acquire EMI Music Publishing from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc. ("Citi") for total consideration of $2.2 billion.
The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Following the acquisition, Sony/ATV Music Publishing and its strong and experienced management team will help oversee EMI Music Publishing on behalf of the Group. Sony/ATV Music Publishing is co-owned by subsidiaries of SCA and trusts formed by the Estate of Michael Jackson.
Can you say "users"? So a few things here. The obvious is that all the money that is "supposedly" being set aside for the kids is going to purchase other assets. I'm quite sure the kids aren't going to see even half of what they should by time the Executors are done with taking salaries and transferring assets.
Secondly, you see the part about "trusts" formed by the Estate of Michael Jackson? Well, word has is LA County's court system is corrupt. Seems this is a common practice for the LA County court. Specifically to take money from ‘special funds’ and ‘trust funds’of taxpayer cases filed in federal” and state courts. This was taken from the California Attorney Fine's case. (Just in case you are an attorney and are looking for information for your case regarding the Murder of Michael Jackson)State Supreme Court Judges & State Bar Officials Target Of Corruption Lawsuit
When I first heard the words "follow the money", I tended to think in simple terms, however, this is quite a web of deceit. There are several grounds for legal action here. Self dealing(conflict of interest) in relation to the executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson and their financial interest in Sony/ATV, conspiracy charges, based on evidence collected from Michael's children (the evidence I was looking for when I listed the items I wanted to come out in Conrad Murray's testimony) and phone records, court transcripts from CM case and Frank Dileo's statements regarding Michael's death and last but not least, I'm told there are some accounts in Dubai that have transferred some money to some people as "hush" money. If I was going to represent anything in court, I might ask for bank statements from Sony/ATV, including those accounts in Dubai. It might be interesting to find out who and when money was transferred. This is new for me. They don't like the "paper" anymore I suppose . . just transfer it . . from out of the country!
What Michael said about Sony and what he was entitled to in 2002:
“First let me say, I really don’t like to talk that much. I really don’t. I prefer to perform than talk.
Let me just say this; the tradition of great performers from, and I really want you to hear what I have to say, from Sammy Davis Junior, James Brown, to Jackie Wilson, to Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly. The story is usually the same though. These guys worked really hard at their craft but the story ends the same. They usually are broken, torn and usually just sad, because the companies take advantage of them, they really do.
Sony, being the artist that I am at Sony, I've generated several billion dollars for Sony, several billon. They really thought that my mind is always on music and dancing. It usually is, but they never thought that this performer, myself, would out think them.
So, we can't let them get away with what they're trying to do, because now I'm a free agent. I just owe Sony one more album. It's just a box set, really, with two new songs which I've written ages ago. Because for every album that I record, I write literally, I'm telling you the truth I write at least 120 songs every album I do. So I can do the box set, just giving them any two songs.
So I'm leaving Sony a free agent, owning half of Sony. I own half of Sony's Publishing and I'm leaving them and they're very angry at me because I just did good business, you know.
So the way they get revenge is to try and destroy my album. But I've always said, you know, art, good art never dies. Thank you, I love 'Unbreakable' (opening track on 'Invincible').
And Tommy Mottola is a devil! I'm not supposed to say what I'm going to say right now, but I have let you know this. Please don't videotape what I am going to say, ok? Turn that off, please. You know what, you know what tape it, I don't mind! Tape it!
Mariah Carey, after divorcing Tommy, came to me crying, crying. She was crying so badly I had to hold her. She said to me, "This is an evil man and Michael, this man follows me." He taps her phones, and he's very, very evil and she doesn't trust him and he is a horrible human being.
We have to continue our drive until he is terminated. We can't allow him to do this to great artistry, we just can't.
I just wanted to let you know, I appreciate everything you've done, you've been amazing.
You're so loyal! Diana, everybody, Waldo, all the people here! I love you all. You've been amazing, I love you!
But still, but still, I promise you, the best is yet to come!"
On October 9th I posted a note from Michael where he had some very strong words to say about the tribute concert being held in his honor. The post was called Michael Jackson Tribute Concert Outrage.
In it he expressed his wish for everyone to know where the money was going and that he wished we could see behind the scenes.
Michael has never told me anything other than the truth and because this is a joint effort, even though I might not know what he's talking about, I post it if he wishes me too. The "Outrage" post was one of those I cringed about, but posted it anyway. He felt very strongly about it.
I think that's what Michael was talking about when he said "I am outraged at the fact that the funds for this concert will not be used in the manner appropriated" (see post "Michael Jackson Tribute Concert Outrage)
Last week I began to feel a bit helpless knowing what has transpired and what is going on now regarding Michael, his children and his life's work.
I took a few steps myself, like contacting the LA County D.A.'s office with additional evidence. I believe that everyone should stand up for what is right. If we don't take the steps to change the world, who will?
So I'm also posting this link as well. It's a petition for Dr Conrad Murray - so he is NOT put on house arrest:
I was also pleased to learn that Michael's dream of a children's hospital is also beginning to become manifest. I have only been an on looker at this point, but would like to share the information with you.
"Swabhava is a concept and term frequently encountered in Dharmic traditions. It means essential nature or, simply, one’s essence . In metaphysics, the essence of something is composed by the immutable characteristics of the “matter”. The opposite of essence would be the accidental change that can occur upon them, giving it a mutable and changeable nature. Swabhava is what is inherent of the individual, the primeval function that does not depend on causal, temporal or spatial circumstances to exist: the true nature does not have an appearance.
The pure immutable Self is not touched by these changeable movements. It witnesses without judgment and supports, by its intangible eternity, the human mutable nature in its vicissitudes. The real soul of the individual, the central being in us or who we truly are, is greater than these things, but accepts them in its outward evolution as a natural process in Nature. Swabhava means one thing in the highest spiritual nature and takes quite another form and significance in the lower nature of the three dimensions." from Humanity Healing
Life is a lively process of becoming.
~ Douglas MacArthu
Basically, this is our life purpose. To get back to our nature, our pure selves by experience, observation and learning. This is what Michael meant when he spoke about LOVE. We came from love, are love and will go back to love. It is never ending, yet changeable through our vehicles.
**I have found more evidence on Michael's death and I'll be posting that information soon. I'm checking out a few more details**
Mistakenly, or not, I noticed what had transpired with Frank Dileo, whom I mentioned on the previous post: In Frank's own words (look at previous post) he was on the board for Sony/ATV. In Frank's own words, AEG Live was paying him indirectly by paying Michael. This is often done in business so the there is no paper trail, and/or to capture expenditures. Could have been either one.
However, in taking into consideration some information I personally received from Michael, I took it a step further. There were two other gentleman that seemingly manifested Michael's will from back in 2002. I know personally Michael was working on a new will, along with other paperwork, which to my knowledge has not been found yet. This makes me question not only the background relationships of these two individuals with Michael, but the authenticity of the will as well. Either way who am I to judge, right?
I'm not a lawyer, but I do know Kenny Ortega was questioned during the Conrad Murray trial and asked several times by the defense why they were filming rehearsals. Kenny stated, more than once, that it was for Michael's personal use. Being of a "personal" nature, one would think that anything "personal" would be passed on to his Estate after he passed. Technically, upon proper authority, the Estate would then make arrangements to enter into deals. Like the one they entered into with Sony:
Nine months after Michael Jackson’s death, his estate has signed one of the biggest recording contracts in history, giving Sony, Mr. Jackson’s longtime label, the rights to sell his back catalog and draw on a large vault of unheard recordings.
Did I say Sony? Isn't that the company Frank was on the board for? That's also the company that Michael said wanted rights to his catalog, by the way.
Rights, like the ones discussed above, are given through the US Copyright office. Like rights for This Is It, for instance. Here is the record from the US government. As you can see it was filed on 7/02/2009 and the rights were filed under AEG Live.
This is what confuses me, though. Shouldn't the estate have these rights? Is the Estate and AEG the same? Wasn't the footage for Michael's "personal" use?
I don't know about you but I find it bad form to not only file for these rights, but so early? Michael died on the 25th of June, it was a Thursday. It wasn't even announced until that afternoon. Everyone must have been really upset that worked with him. Now that I think about it, though I didn't hear that Frank was crying. He didn't seem too upset on that video either. Actually I don't think he expressed any emotional reaction when he talked about the day his friend and client died.
So there is Friday (6/26) Sat (6/27) Sun (6/28) Mon (6/29) Tues (6/30) Wed (7/1) and then Thursday (7/2) Let's see that's one week, exactly 5 business days to get a copyright idea, then fill out the form to record it AND mail it. Boy that is REALLY quick cause I know my mail here takes at least a couple of business days.. If it was electronically filed, the document would indicate it. So it does look like it was mailed.
Can you imagine the shock they must have been in after Michael died and still having the fore sight to do all this? They even have all the dancers, et al listed!

So many fans have really done a great job posting information, I just feel like I have to do my part too. I'm so behind!!!
Ok, so the word "catalog", did you notice the word "catalog" in the article announcing the Sony deal? That's the word Michael used when he made that statement about his death. mmmm. . .
There is quite a large vault of unheard recordings too. The executors of the estate have transferred over 100 titles into their names this past March, the third to be exact Just after a request for payment to each of them for administration of the estate, naming a percentage of all gross earnings. Simultaneously they put a request into the county of Los Angeles to "expedite" the deal. I would imagine because they must have had talks with Sony some time prior. You know, only because the announcement (above) was dated on March 15. Wow, that's fast! These guys don't waste any time.
With a little Dr Seuss humor, where exactly did Michael have all of his unreleased material? Was it at a house? With a mouse? Or in car? Carried far?
Actually, I didn't know Michael was a Harry Potter fan until after he passed. So as he's said before, for those of us who like to live dangerously . . this one's for you:
What do these three men have in common? In the spirit of Christmas, ELF might say they "sit on a throne of lies!"
