Michael Jackson still inspires fierce loyalty


The sad and tragic death of Michael Jackson has landed his doctor, Conrad Murray in jail. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to the maximum penalty. He'll probably only serve two years in prison because of California's overcrowded prisons. That's an entirely different topic that we will not broach here. I'm opening enough cans already and want to stay away from California Penal System and the Concordat of Worms. Those are the only two topics that we won't touch on Leibnizian Ramblings. Everything else is fair game.

But the death of Michael Jackson sent shockwaves all over the world. Hikers on the incredibly remote Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the West Indies were told of the death. I know because that was where my fiancee was when she heard the news. While she was as upset as the rest of us, the mourning in France must have been unfathomable for fans. In fact, it caused such incredible suffering and mental anguish that fans of the late King of Pop are suing Conrad Murray for causing them such pain.

The case is set to be heard on April 11. The lawyer bringing the case is named Emmanuel Ludot who equated the loss of Michael Jackson to losing a childhood friend in a traffic accident. If Ludot wins the case in Orleans 100 members of the Michael Jackson Community are set to receive €10,000. If Ludot pulls this off I won't criticize the judicial system of France or even post about it. I'll be too busy joining every troubled entertainer's fan group looking to cash in at a later date.
