Michael Jackson's Death Covered Up in the Courts: Appalling or Business as Usual?

"There's something going on at the DA's office."

"When I would call him and say, "Hi this is Ed Chernoff.

  What's going on?" He would say, "No comment."

 I'm not kidding He wouldn't talk to me at all.

... one of Rivetti's investigators had dubbed the Jackson probe "a shit case," and thought that if it were not for public and family pressure, there might not even have been a probe.

Eight months of a costly investigation, in a bankrupt state," one prominent defense attorney told me, "they have no choice but to deliver an indictment or there would be hell to pay."

I am amazed to not see more outrage from Jackson fans.  The attempts at covering up Michael Jackson's murder absolutely blow my mind.  From AEG Live, his production company to the Michael Jackson Estate.

Here in America we have a judicial system that was set in place to hold justice for the people.  With ample evidence that the justice system is corrupt, we still sit waiting for someone else to take a stand or perhaps pass these events off as business as usual.

I've heard it said many times that "it happens all the time".  But because corruption is in existence, does that make it right?  If a judge accepts a bribe, do we condone that because "it happens all the time"?  It seems these statements are trivial and make corruption deemed acceptable.  It's not.

A recent review of the book The Murder of Michael Jackson; The Cover Up & Conspiracy recently caught my attention.  Many people were commenting on what their view of the crime was.  Some with having read the book and some without.  The take away from most of these comments was that we all assume that our judicial systems in the courts do the right thing.  We assume because a government agency takes someone to court that that agency is correct in their decision and accept it as the truth.  We further the lies by distributing them to the press and suddenly we have the whole world believing that what had transpired as brought to us by a televised performance in an LA court was the truth.

The legal battle between Katherine Jackson and AEG Live was NOT televised.  Has anyone ever asked the question why?  Has anyone looked at the emails that were kept "under seal" that finally made their way out to the press?  Does anyone remember exactly how incriminating those emails were?  And finally, have we ever asked ourselves if those emails were covered up what other evidence that may be even more incriminating has been hidden?

Deliberate attempts at hiding the insurance policy held by AEG Live by the LA Courts have given a man not guilty of a crime several years in prison.  It has hidden evidence away from Michael's family to find out the truth about his death and it has concealed findings so that justice would be unattainable for his children.

Are we so blind to the manipulation that large corporations and even our own governing agencies use?  We see it all the time, with politicians, political figures, and commercials to make us buy products.  All of these things are an illusion to sway our opinion in favor of what someone else wants us to "believe".  Yet underneath the ads there lies companies taking vital resources from underdeveloped areas of the globe, leaving people with no water to survive so they can sell more soda. Politicians are accepting bribes because it suits them instead of upholding the service they were sworn to do. Dysfunctional people and families broadcast on the television grab our attention because they make us feel better about ourselves.  Never realizing the very broadcast is "normalizing" society into something that is now deemed "acceptable" because we see it on TV.

So as appalling as this is to me, let me leave you with a few things to think about.  It was Richard Fine who was the attorney that was sent to solitary confinement for standing up to the judges in LA for their corruption.  It was Robert Blake and OJ Simpson that were found "not guilty" of crimes so many people knew they committed.  Did we suspect this corruption or simply pass it off as a case gone bad?

With the words taken from the article entitled "Jackson Prosecutor's Internal War" by Gerald Posner, when it comes to our courts "Prosecutors often joke that they can get a grand jury-which only receives handpicked evidence-to indict a ham sandwich for a crime."   Even when it comes to our courts, they know the rule of thumb is perception.  If you can make the jury believe a man is guilty then you can make the general public believe it as well.  With hand picked evidence and a production on the stage floor of a court, it's no different than a well thought out play with actors taking the stand.

Randy Phillips of AEG Live was impeached 43 times while taking the stand and that's just the number of times he was caught.  How many other manipulations of word do we think happen in our everyday lives?
