@katooooooo<;br />

<br /><br />Yes I agree, conflicting stories. Paramedic Martin Blount saw Murray collecting the bottles too. Who can it be now??

911 was called at 12:20.  And, Walgren says, when paramedics arrived, MJ was dead<br />

<br /><br />According to TMZ's article 02/16/10 the 911 call was made at 12:21 PM. It's like the puzzle or game "find the differences" lolol/ <br /><br />Jackson's bodyguard called 911 at 12:21 PM, approximately 13 minutes after Dr. Murray dropped the phone.<br />http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/16/conrad-murrays-voicemail-michael-jackson-911-lapd/

<br />Conrad Murray - Michael Was Alive at UCLA                  http://www.tmz.com/category/hospital/<br /><br />I guess you meant this article? TMZ wrote that Murray claimed that Michael was alive at UCLA. I can imagine that Murray said that, because that would imply that he didn't kill him and that others are responsible for his death.

<br /><br /> <br />Michael's voice on the audio.. well I don't believe it's his voice or it might be his voice though completely technically altered to give the impression that he's heavily drugged.  <br /><br />L.O.V.E.<br />

<br /><br />Totally agree with you on this one. It can be him and it can be altered. What he says in that audio is important. Even when he was drugged, Michael still thinks to save the children. This is the message of that audio. Clearing Michael's name and showing the world the real Michael Jackson to the world, the one who adores and cares for children.

<br />This is indeed the message of Michael and you know what..this audio with his message is a news headline worldwide! One of the headlines of the daily news tv program here was this audio and text of Michael. I hope his message will "reach" the world and not just his (altered) voice.

After comparison of some 'facts' between the Opening Statements posted by TMZ and some TMZ articles from the last 2 years about this case, we can conclude that there are too many inconsistencies and controversies, which makes you wonder about the reliability of TMZ and tabloid media in general. For many times I've been confused and suspicious about the news in the past 2 years since Michael's 'death' and not only since Michael's death, the lies or half truths in the news have been there all the time. TMZ is just a metaphor of all the tabloid trash (because TMZ is part of the hoax ) and has the goal to open up the eyes of ignorant people or people who have the tendency to believe everything they read. During this trial a lot of truths will be revealed, of which one truth will be that tabloids got it all wrong and didn't get their stories straight, because.. they didn't even make an effort to check the source and the news facts. So.. tabloid media will hopefully learn a lesson. If not, consider them ignorant and brainless and that's why they're called tabloid reporters, they will never deserve the title of news reporter :evil: <br />L.O.V.E.
