Not Bad?
Jermaine Jackson is objecting to the proposal that the late Michael Jackson's corpse should be buried in a public graveyard in LA.
Jermaine claims that his brother should not have to share the ground with people who "have done bad things in their life".
We come into this world naked and leave it naked of pretensions, egos and money.
Where the corpse lies is irrelevant.

Homicide
LA police are treating Michael Jackson's death as homicide.
The website TMZ alleges that the initial investigation has identified the anesthetic Propofol as the primary cause of his death.
Quote:
"Law enforcement sources say there is already 'plenty of powerful evidence' linking Dr Conrad Murray as the person who administered the drug to 50-year-old Jackson.
The evidence includes various items found in Jackson's house, including the Propofol, an IV stand and oxygen tank."
Dr Murray's lawyer would neither confirm nor deny if Dr Murray administered the Propofol.

Murder?
The late Michael Jackson's sister, La Toya, is reported to believe that Jackson was murdered for his money.
She allegedly claims that Jackson was "victim" of a "shadowy entourage" who got him hooked on drugs, and wanted to milk him for his money.
Whilst it is highly likely that there were many people around Jackson who had covetous eyes on his money, "murdering" him would surely be killing the golden goose?
It would be in the interests of this "shadowy entourage" to keep him alive as long as possible so that they could continue to "milk" him.

Resolution Blocked
A resolution sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, honoring Michael Jackson has been blocked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"A resolution, I think, would open up to contrary views to — that are not necessary at this time to be expressed in association with a resolution whose purpose is quite different."
Somewhat less diplomatically Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., posted a video on YouTube calling Michael Jackson a "pervert" and a "paedophile".
