16. Somebody, perhaps dr klein, his doctor according to this report influenced Michael to take this dangerous drug.
Both the him and dr killer murray who administered it should be locked up in jail where they'll rot for the rest of their lives

18. First of all. Michael do not have to beg for anything. Tabliod Junkie. This woman is being payed to say such things because she no longer have a job. moreover all of this is speculatory B-S. Lets wait for the final reports to come back then we will see. FILTHY RUMORS and SHE SHOULD BE ASHAME TURNING ON HIM LIKE THAT. What a DRITY- CURSE WORD. I called her a Name I wont say.

19. She did speak up to HIM he was hell bent on killing himself. Who else was she supposed to speak up to? His family was already aware of his drug addiction. She couldn't go to any authorities because there was no crime in his asking for the drug Legally she couldn't talk to anyone about it as Im sure she signed a privacy clause when he employed her. It's Michael's fault and the doctor who gave him the drugs nobody elses.

20. Yeah...see now that quack doctor can say " I said I didn't give him demerol!!" That's why the lidocane!!!! To combat the effects of the diprivan. That HAS to be given in a hosp setting. The doc knew that and that's why he didn't call medics soooooo long and tried to save him so much. Also why he disappered. Thank God this nurse put it all together and the coroners know to look for it in Michael's system. Now we gotta put Michael to rest. What shape will he be in when they finally stop this insanity. He has been used as just a money maker since Joe Jackson couldn't make it with his own band back in the 60's and found Michael's talent. The world ate him up and in pain he continued to give back to us til death.

25. Another highly suspect person who has recently been on the payroll just trying to save her fanny. Anyone who has watched the news in the past couple of years knows Former Governor and present Attorney General Edmund Gerald Brown of the State of California is going to be all over this case as there are far too many similarities between this death and that of Anna-Nicole Smith. As Dr. Deepak Chopra indicated, a growing number of medical doctors are abusing their license to practice medicine and are becoming nothing more than deep-pocket "drug dealers" and they and the pharmaceutical industry must now be stopped. They need to have their licenses revoked and spend time in prison!

Everyone needs to get on the bandwagon....

26. TV Channels need to stop bringing in and interviewing these fake people who are only after their 15 mins of fame. Really!! as if Michael would beg this idiot for pill! Huh! NEVER! This woman has obviously been paid off to say these nonsense.

27. You people don't get it. There is NOTHING ANYONE could have done to saye Michael from himself. He wanted what he wanted and no family or friend no matter how close or concerned could stop Michael from getting his way. When you challenge these kinds of people they simply replace you with someone else. It's a cycle that can't be stopped unless the celebrity decides to LISTEN and to stop it themselves.

28. Now we know Michael's doctor infuenced his to take dangerous drugs. So both him (dr kein) and dr killer murray
should be locked up for drugs for prescribing and administring dangerous drugs. I hope they rot in hell!!!!!!!

29. I agree mark. She could have said something sooner. If she really cared for Michael and was as concerned as she says, she would have done something. Made it public, went to the family, even report it to the police of dangerous drugs in the home. Now I bet her pockets are getting filled with cash when goin' on Larry King, Anderson Cooper, and other news shows. What a shame... -Steve
