Poor Michael. Greed never prospers. AEG May Lose Michael Jackson Trial AEG is no different than any other company that worships the mighty dollar and does everything they can to increase their bottom line. According to TMZ It’s pretty shocking … but Katherine Jackson may have taken a giant step today toward convincing a jury AEG Live was negligent in protecting Michael Jackson just days before his death. AEG Live honcho Randy Phillips had trouble explaining to Katherine’s lawyer why he thought MJ “looked really good” in a meeting 5 days before his death when a photograph taken a day before the meeting clearly showed otherwise. The photo shows a smiling Jackson but someone who looked gaunt and pale. On top of that, there is testimony that producer/director Kenny Ortega and others were alarmed over Jackson’s health. In the days preceding his death, Jackson had missed rehearsals and was sweating profusely. He also seemed out of it. As for how Phillips reconciled his statement with other evidence, he said, “I was confused as anybody.” Here’s the deal … This case was AEG’s to lose. AEG could have made it simple and just said they assumed MJ was being properly cared for by the doctor MJ handpicked. But AEG has gotten a little too cute, painting a picture that the jury may not be buying. Short story … Propofol aside, if the jury believes AEG unreasonably pushed MJ like a circus animal, they could be in beaucoup trouble. Some of the blame lies with Michael. If he had better managed his money, he would not need to over extend himself to make money. Now his kids are in the hands of “Claymation Jermaine” and Debbie Rowe. Sad.
