Michael Jackson, A Desperate Man

Rayman — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 23:20:19 +0000

This trial should be an interesting one to follow, and I for one will do that. I'm wondering to myself, if we'll ever get the real truth as to what happened? Fell free to comment.

Michael Jackson’s dermatologist was ordered to give copies of the pop star’s medical records Wednesday to attorneys for the doctor charged in Jackson’s death.

But a lawyer for Jackson’s estate was successful in convincing the judge not to order estate executors to give the defense detailed financial information about money the singer owed when he died.

Defense attorney Ed Chernoff argued Wednesday he needed the financial and medical information to make the case that Jackson, who was “a desperate man in many respects,” gave himself the fatal dose of surgical anesthesia while the doctor was not watching.

“He was actually in more debt as a result of the concerts than he would have obtained from doing the concerts,” Chernoff said.
