Document Summary
Parallel trials: parallels of a civil acion and the aeg/jackson case by prof. whiteley. Second trial: mother started out so reasonably and then made wilder and wilder accusaions: lawyer for the people, prosecutor, had his own witness declared an adversary of witness. Michael jackson, died of propofol what you give people for serious surgery while dr. Conrad murray talked on the phone with his girlfriend. This aeg/jackson case has three direct parallels to a civil acion case. First, unlike 95% of civil as opposed to criminal cases, both cases did not setle before trial. The hollywood movie opened with a monetary setlement: the aeg atorneys said that in the aeg business, it was not possible to pay out money to unhappy business associates. That is, of course, not true: but . 5 billion or even some percentage would be worth the legal costs of going to trial. Remember the comment: deep pockets to setle is also deep pockets to defend.
