Michael Jackson doctor pleads not guilty to manslaughter By Lorena Blas, USA TODAY Conrad Murray, the physician who was with Michael Jackson when he died June 25, is due back in court on April 5 after pleading not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the case. Murray, 56, and his defense team, including Houston-based attorney Ed Chernoff, appeared at an arraignment hearing in a Los Angeles courtroom Monday afternoon. Members of Jackson's family, including mother Katherine, father Joe, sister LaToya and brother Jermaine, also were there. Prosecutors say the doctor "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson … in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony; and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner, and without due caution and circumspection." The charges could bring up to four years in prison. As he walked to the courthouse, Jermaine Jackson looked at cameras and said, "It's not enough." Joe Jackson said that he is "looking for justice." During the hearing, the California Medical Board announced that it would be filing a motion to have Murray's license revoked. Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz told Murray he was restricting his practice of medicine, barring him from using any anesthetic agent, specifically the drug Propofol, which a coroner's report found was the cause of Jackson's death, with other drugs as contributing factors. "I don't want you sedating people," the judge said. Prosecutors asked that bail be set at $300,000 for Murray, who was taken into custody by sheriff's deputies but not handcuffed. However, Schwartz set bail at $75,000, which is three times what people charged with involuntary manslaughter face. After the arraignment, LaToya Jackson issued a statement saying she believes that others besides Murray were involved in her brother's death. "I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served," she said. That sentiment was echoed by Joe Jackson in an interview Monday night on CNN's Larry King Live. In August, the Los Angeles County coroner's office said that the specific cause of Jackson's death was "acute Propofol intoxication," and the office declared the death a homicide. Early in the investigation, Joe Jackson said his son's death was the result of foul play, and at the time of the coroner's ruling, the singer's family issued a statement. "The Jackson family has full confidence in the legal process," the statement said. "The family looks forward to the day that justice can be served." Murray told investigators that he gave Jackson a series of sedatives and the powerful anesthetic Propofol to help him sleep. According to a court affidavit unsealed after a search of Murray's offices in Houston last summer, the doctor told investigators that he had been treating Jackson for insomnia for several weeks with 50 milligrams of Propofol every night via an IV drip. But Murray said that he worried that Jackson was developing an addiction to the anesthetic and that he was attempting to wean his patient by lowering the dose to 25 milligrams and adding the sedatives Lorazepam and Midazolam. Propofol is used in hospitals for medical procedures such as heart surgery, Christopher Gharibo, medical director of pain medicine at New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases, told USA TODAY in August. Jackson was laid to rest Sept. 3 in a marble mausoleum at Forest Lawn Glendale cemetery near Los Angeles. Family members were joined by the Rev. Al Sharpton, actress Elizabeth Taylor, singer Gladys Knight and others at the private funeral ceremony. In November, Murray returned to work at his cardiology practice in Houston. He had taken a leave from the practice in April, when he became Jackson's personal physician. At the same time the charge was filed Monday, the coroner's office released its autopsy report on Jackson. The document, previously obtained by The Associated Press, found the singer was in relatively good health and confirmed that he died from acute Propofol intoxication. http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2010-0...on-doctor_N.htm

http://www.businessoffashion.com/2010/01/b...ga-part-ii.html BoF Exclusive | Zaldy Goco talks about designing for Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga, Part II Yesterday, we learned about the beginnings of Zaldy Gocos work in the music and fashion industries. Today, in part two, we speak to him about his close collaboration with Michael Jackson for the This is It concert extravaganza. NEW YORK, United States When Zaldy Goco answered the phone last April and learned that Michael Jacksons creative team wanted him to develop some costume ideas for the King of Pops long-awaited comeback concert series in London, he could scarcely believe his luck. A long time fan of the sometimes-maligned, but always-loved music legend, Zaldy set about developing an approach for creating costumes that at once hearkened back to iconic images from Jacksons past, while also making him relevant for contemporary fashion of the day. The results were amazing and once the decision was made to make Zaldy the chief costume designer for the upcoming concerts, the process to get there involved five up close-and-personal fittings between Zaldy and Michael Jackson over a period of a several weeks, including the last fitting, just days before the singers sudden death. Zaldy kindly spoke to BoF about the experience of designing for Michael Jackson and shared some photos of Jackson from the fittings, published here for the very first time. BoF: And now for the topic that I am sure everyone is most interested to hear about: your collaboration with Michael Jackson for the This Is It tour. How did that come about? It was such a surprise that began with a really casual phone call from someone who was representing Michaels choeographer, Travis Payne. It was already the end of April and the tour was starting in July, and he asked me if I was interested in making some outfits. Of course I said yes! But, I really didnt take it all that seriously as I knew that Michael had only ever really worked with one designer in the past named Michael Bush. He had developed all of Michaels iconic looks for Thriller and Bad. So, by no means was it definite. I thought maybe Id get to make a couple of outfits maybe. It turns out that Michael had been advised to take more of a fashion look with his presentation, and he had asked to see designs from some really big names, including, I believe, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen. My impression is that he got all these packages from these different designers and then he chose who he wanted to work with. When he got my package, they called me right away and said he that Michael was jumping up and down screaming, saying Ive always wanted to do this! Ive always wanted to do this! They asked me to come to L.A. the next day to meet Michael and told me they wanted me to do the entire show. In the end, because Michael is so faithful, he did ask Michael Bush to work on a few of the outfits as well, which I thought was really nice especially because it was supposed to be Michaels last tour. BoF: Wow, thats pretty amazing. How would you describe what you designed for him? This is the thing. When they first asked me to do this, they said we need you to re-invent Michael. And my first thought was that Michael does not need to be re-invented, especially not now. He is one of the only artists who created iconic looks and iconic images to go along with iconic songs. Its not necessary for those looks to be reinvented they just needed to be made more relevant for today. Nobody wants to see a Thriller jacket that it isnt red and black. People were going to want to see those iconic images, made more relevant to the times. So, thats what my approach was referencing what we knew, but bringing more technology and new techniques that Michael had never used before. BoF: What are your favourite looks that you designed for Michael Jackson? They all kind have their own specialness for me. But, if you ask anyone who works with me, they will always say the We Are The World outfit, embroidered with all kinds of techniques from around the world from African to American Indian to Japanese to Chinese. It was quite a mix, and very beautiful. But for me, I loved the Black or White leather jacket, with three different custom plated coloured studs, which was kind of a Sumurai-referenced jacket. The finale jacket is also a favourite, especially because Michael was so excited about it. I had made what Michael called secret treasures in the shape of little teardrops that enclosed around crusts of crystal chunks. And then of course there was the light-up outfit for Billie Jean, which was a collaboration with Philips Technology, which really, really made him the happiest. The last time I saw him was about six days before we were leaving for London, and I tried these pants on him and he was silent; completely stunned. After about thirty seconds, he said Its everything Ive always wanted. So, that was pretty special for me. BoF: And then, of course there was his sudden death, which must have turned things upside down for you. I experience anti-climax after every project, but I was in disbelief. I didnt know what to do with myself. I had been living and breathing Michael Jackson for weeks on end. When I design for a musician, I immerse myself completely in their music. It just has to play in my head the whole time. I decided I needed to lock myself away in a hotel to get away, but even that didnt work. Everywhere I went, people were listening to Michael Jackson. There was no escape. BoF: Did you have any sense that he might be unwell? Not at all. And that is the thing that I think the movie really shows. He was quite lively, energetic and strong. And, he was super in tune to all the details. Every time I met with him, he was always catching little details. When Id do fittings with him, he was very solid and very strong. BoF: Last year was quite a year for you. Doing Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson in one year is pretty big. What lies ahead for you 2010? Its funny because I kept seeing the two of them side-by-side in stories or hearing their names mentioned in the same story. And then, all of a sudden I was working with both of them. But right now, Im pretty excited to get back into the Scissor Sisters, who are launching their third album. But also, last year was a big music year, and Im thinking of leaning back towards fashion again. BoF: So there could be a Zaldy label again? There could be. Right now I am working on a gown for the Met Ball. So, lets see. Im working on a couple of things. BoF: Thanks very much Zaldy for sharing your story with us.
