They acknowledged that their request is extraordinary, but so was Jackson, whose legacy will feed news coverage.<br /><br />In the alternative, they asked that the judge rescind his decision to have the trial televised.<br /><br />Murray is accused of giving Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

    Oh hell, there comes a new delay...  :evil:<br /><br />But better have a delay than having that circus not televised.

    <br /> TIAI August 29  « on: August 30, 2011, 11:12:11 AM » 
      <br /> [li]
    Quote[/li]<br />  <br /><br />My last post was 12 days ago; and in that post I stated: “for certain that MJ will BAM before the end of 2012”, {TIAI August 17, http://www.michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com/smf2.0/index.php?topic=20134.0}.  In that post I also mentioned, for the very first time, the Twitter account for Paris.  A few days after my post, La Toya verified her account once again {http://twitter.com/#!/latoyajackson/status/100693639176523776; http://twitter.com/#!/latoyajackson/status/105425901583466497; <br />http://twitter.com/#!/pariisjaxn/status/105417423037018112}.<br /><br />And then, one week later, we had yet another colossal coincidence!    icon_lol.gif  The very same person that TS referred to (Paris), retweeted on the very same subject of that last post (2012 and BAM): “Everyone thinks dinosuars are extinct I bet they are just playing an epic game of hide & seek & then..when 2012 hits BAM! DINOSAUR INVASION” {http://twitter.com/#!/GlRLTHINGS/status/107944495320023040; http://www.michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com/smf2.0/index.php/topic,18330.msg351117.html#msg351117}.<br /><br />Would real dinosaurs actually play a “game”, and intentionally “hide” (and we should “seek” them)?  Are we supposed to conclude that Paris really believes there will be an invasion of literal dinosaurs in 2012?  icon_e_confused.gif icon_question.gif icon_rolleyes.gif  And if not, then what could this possibly mean—other than the obvious!?!<br /><br />Everyone thinks dinosaurs (giants in music, MJ and Elvis) are extinct (dead); but I bet they are just playing an epic (look this word up) game (ARG) of hide (fake death) & seek (hoax investigation) & then … when 2012 hits BAM (everyone who thinks that these giants are dead, will find out that they are NOT dead)!  Could it be any clearer????????????<br /><br />This means that we should not expect any BAM before the trail—and yes, there will be a trial.  I can’t guarantee that there won’t be any more delays; but at this point, any further delays will most likely be short compared to the previous delays.<br /><br />Instead of MJ receiving a birthday present, this year he gave a present to his hoax family (a "giant" BAM clue, through Paris).  “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35).<br /><br />I finished my last post with this statement, “I say this with so much certainty that if MJ does not BAM by January 1, 2013: then you may know that TS is a fake informer!”  And now I will finish this post with the following statement, “If MJ does not BAM by January 1, 2013: then you may know that Paris is a fake informer—and even La Toya, since she verified the pariisjaxn Twitter account more than once.”<br /><br />  <br />

    Oh Jesus Christ  crash/ <br /><br /><br />I'm done running my mouth. Michael, you clearly watch the forum.
  • OH! Boy, how did I know there would be another delay. I think this trial, will never commence. I guess Michael is not ready yet !!!
  • I hope this all makes sense someday.<br />I really do.

    Patience is a virtue.  :mrgreen:
  • Oh boy, I don't know whether to laugh or get annoyed, is there any limit on the amount of times a trial can be delayed, anyway I am sure if this was any other case or even if there was another high profile case, they wouldn't allow so many delays.

    This reminds me of my kids' delaying tactics when they were small and didn't want to go to bed!
  • souza : i would like to put in a request for a screaming smiley!    :lol:
  • Good idea SuspiciousMind...or a smiley that's shooting itself in the head :)<br /><br />I keep thinking that if this is an ARG...and for those who believe in TS, he's pretty much confirmed that an ARG is at least part of the hoax....then a lot of 'paths' or outcomes are based on the audience (us).  Based on our responses/actions, the 'puppet master' chooses what happens next.<br /><br />With that in mind...and throwing in Front's post about 'being at a crossroad'...I can't help but wonder if the 'puppet master' feels, based on our responses here on the board, that we're not ready for the trial yet.  I just wish it was made more clear to us (by TS or Front or whoever)...what the 'puppet master' is waiting to hear or see from us...if the trial is, in fact, the most recent 'crossroad'.<br /><br />I watched a 'special' on HLN the other night about the trial...and even as a hardened 'believer', it wasn't easy to watch.  Cause as much as Mike made sure the hoax aspect would make sense to those of us looking for clues...he also made sure that the 'death' aspect would make sense to those who didn't dig deeper.  Maybe, based on Mike reading our posts, he (the puppet master) has decided we need more time before that 'boulder falls from the sky'.<br /><br />Just thinking out loud here....and, of course, I may be way off.  If, by any chance, though this is sort of what's going on....then my hope is that we get some clear guidance to help us understand what the puppet master is waiting on from us.<br /><br />With L.O.V.E. always.

    The reader's comments from the Toronto Sun article have a comment posted by Mocienne Petit Jackson. Anyone else remember Mocienne and her paternity case?  errrr /overreacting/

    <br /><br />Indeed it just says that they have asked for a delay, but we don't know if it's been accepted or refused.
