Dr. Conrad Murray Pleads Not Guilty in Death of King of Pop Michael Jackson

Dr. Conrad Murray pleaded not guilty Monday afternoon in an LA court to involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Michael Jackson.Murray is accused of giving the King of Pop a fatal dose of propofol and pain killers.

In his last hours, Jackson was given propofol, a powerful anesthetic, at a level equivalent to what would be used in “major surgery” and in a manner that did not live up to medical standards, according to the autopsy report released by the coroner’s office yesterday.

This court case has all the makings of a Three Ring Circus. Sure justice must be served; however, this is a reminder to the media that there are numerous other cases out there that need your attention rather than this spectacle.

Dr. Conrad Murray, accused of giving Jackson a fatal dose of an anesthetic to help him sleep, appeared in court in a gray suit and burgundy tie as Jackson’s father Joe, mother Katherine, and siblings LaToya, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Randy watched from courtroom seats behind prosecutors.

Neither Murray nor the Jacksons showed much emotion as the six-foot-five Murray entered his plea through his attorney Ed Chernoff, but as he emerged from court, Joe Jackson declared, “My son was murdered.”

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz set bail for Conrad Murray at $75,000 and forbade Murray from prescribing heavy sedatives.

Nevertheless, the case could have been worse, noted defense attorney and former Jackson lawyer Mark Geragos told “Good Morning America.” Murray could have easily faced more severe charges that could have sent him to prison for life, Geragos said.

“I think that Dr. Murray caught a break when they did not file second-degree, what’s called implied malice murder,” he said.

US Attorney Jim Letten Recused Himself in the James O’Keefe/Sen Landrieu Phone Tampering Case

A Crime or just Investigative Journalism, you make the call …

Andrew Breitbart on Fox News, James O’Keefe of the famed ACORN “Pimps & Prostitutes videos,  who is presently accused of trying to tamper with the phones of Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, was “framed” by the media and the U.S. attorney’s office. Interestingly enough the top prosecutor, Jim Letten, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, has recused himself from the case.

The top federal prosecutor for New Orleans has removed himself from the case of four conservative activists arrested last week while allegedly trying to capture hidden camera footage in a senator’s office, the Department of Justice said Monday.

A Justice Department news release said Jim Letten, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, recused himself from the case a day after the Jan. 25 arrests in Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office in New Orleans. Letten’s top lieutenant, assistant U.S. Attorney Jan Mann, has taken over.

US Attorney Jim Letten gave no reason for him removing himself from the case.

However, as reported at Big Government.com, on the very day that film maker James O’Keefe sat in jail for 28 hours without counsel.

Natalee Holloway: Deepak & Satish Kalpoe Mislead the Court & Continue with VISA Excuses to Dodge Depositions in LA County, CA Dr Phil Defamation Case

Deepak and Satish Kalpoe appear to not want their day in Court …

It would appear that Deepak and Sataish Kalpoe are fraidy-scared to come to the United States and be deposed. What, the Kalpoe’s do not want their day in court? Looks that way … Kalpoe’s continue to make excuses for being deposed as Defense counsel claims they are intentionally filling out Visa applications so to be denied access to the United States.

Dr. Phil defense attorneys accuse Kalpoe’s of misleading the Court.

The Kalpoe’s appear to have tried to get two Visa applications denied within 6 months because they thought that it would delay the process. Of course they and their attorneys seem to have misinterpreted the law. Or possibly did not even bother to review it at all.

So Deepak and Satish Kalpoe that they were going to get rich quick by suing Dr Phil and Jammie Skeeters. Since the initial law suit filing, the case has been dismissed against the late Jamie Skeeters.  The Kalpoe brothers were suing for defamation of character. Of course our first thought was, didn’t one have to have character first in order to claim defamation?

In motion to compel documents filed with the court the lawyers for Dr. Phil McGraw continued to file motions to compel the Kalpoe brothers to be deposed i in Los Angeles, CA. For three years the Kalpoe’s have come up with ever excuse not to come to the United States to be deposed. Read the Motion to Compel HERE. Defense attorneys are looking to compel the Kalpoe’s to appear in Los Angeles County, CA on or before April 15, 2010 to be deposed. It is hard to believe that Deepak and Satish, so quick to sue have never yet been deposed. Does any one really wonder why?

Did Deepak and Satish really not think they were going to be grilled regarding their conduct and participation in the disappearance and death of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway?

Their actions had everything to do with their character, or lack thereof and would be open to questioning. Exactly what reputation would one have to defame when as a suspect in the death and disappearance of Natalee Holloway, you lie to Aruban and Dutch LE? In the end … this case always ties back to the night that Natalee Holloway disappeared and was never seen again. All questions, whether they be civil or criminal begin there.

The Kalpoe’s claim that they cannot make it to the United States to be deposed by Dr. Phil’s attorneys because they have issues with their VISA’s. It’s no wonder that they were denied by the United States government, especially when from all accounts they were purposely incorrectly and inaccurately filled out by the Kalpoe’s. Dr. Phil’s immigration expert referred to the Kalpoe’s Visa applications as, “two shoddy Visa applications which were defective and contained contained numerous discrepancies, and were predictably denied”. Plaintiffs (Kalpoes) offered the Court no explanation as to why they did not contact an immigration attorney to prepare and file their Visa applications. Hmm.

Defamation of character, eh? These folks intentionally fill out a simple Visa application to suit their purpose not to be deposed.

Barack Obama Thumbs his Nose at Separation of Powers and Insults the SCOTUS … Low Rent and No Class

DEMOCRAT HYPOCRITES!!!

The Audacity of Dope, A disrespectful and defiant President insults the SCOTUS …

Wonder why America is disenchanted with Barack Obama and his so called Hope & Change.  Talk about bad form … and this President and his fellow Democrat minions go upset when  Rep. Joe Wilson R-(SC) said, “You Lie”.  Barack Obama lectured the Congress and America during his State of the Union Speech on civility and then pulled this stunt?

It almost defies logic, reason and respect; however, Barack Hussein Obama did the unthinkable during his first State of the Union Speech and tried to intimidate the Supreme Court of the United States.

So much for separation of powers, but Obama thinks he is above everything.
