Yeah, that's exactly what I said. Sheesh.

Joe Jackson does not want to bury the body until the autopsy results are in. He still wants things comped, and actually wants to MAKE money off this deal. He figures he's "owed" for all he's "been through", whatever that means. Given the remarks he's made since the death, he's bitter he didn't make more money off Michael over time. He figures if not for him, there would have been no Michael. He's been asked to step away from whatever there is left to do, and he won't.

I'm VERY glad I don't live in her District. Oy!

Yep! Either Nicole Brown Simpson or Ron Goldman's family sued OJ and got a BIG Civil judgment. Maybe both families - I don't exactly recall.

Originally Posted By Labuda "Yes, it was. Jackson was subject to a 30 minute examination and the description given was described as "fairly accurate"." And you left out the part that it was also deemed "inconclusive."

And I'm not going to continue to rehash his guilt or innocence on the molestation issue. I've already stated my position early on about it, and it isn't going to change.

Originally Posted By Sara Tonin I seem to have left out that the settlement was awarded in a subsequent civil trial.

IMO. - Anatole
