| Michael Jackson October 2008 |
Evidence was given this week about Michael Jackson's physical health, by Dr. Christopher Rogers. The coroner's report at the autopsy showed that Michael was in good health, and that he would be expected to have a normal lifespan.
"There was no indication from the autopsy that there was anything anatomically wrong with him that would lead to premature death," Rogers said.
He had no signs of being addicted to street drugs, such as needle marks or disease. The testimony is important for the case, because if the jury decides that AEG is liable in his death, his expected lifespan will be used to calculate damages. Michael's lawyers will contend that he would have made billions of dollars during the rest of his life through several more world tours, merchandizing, recording and movies.
I also include an interview with Tom Mesereau, who represented Michael at the 2005 Arvizo trial. Tom makes some good points here, which also occurred to me, one of which is that if Michael was so unhealthy and messed up, why did AEG Live enter into a contract with him in the first place?
