Murray admits giving Jackson prescription drugs, anesthetic to help him sleep
Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Dr. Conrad Murray expects to surrender to Los Angeles authorities this week on charges relating to the death of Michael Jackson, his lawyer said Tuesday.
"Dr. Murray is more than ready to surrender and answer to any charges," attorney Ed Chernoff said.
Prosecutors have not announced any charges, however, and Murray has not been told how or where he should surrender, Chernoff added.
Murray traveled to Los Angeles from his home in Houston, Texas, last week in anticipation of possible charges, which he expects to be announced within 24 to 48 hours, Chernoff said.

Wounded Times was right about Michael Jackson before US Magazine
It's nice to be right before "reporters" are. I do suggest you go to the site to watch the video. It's better than the one I found online and posted on the original post. I still think that this accident could have set off PTSD and that would account for the changes in him.

The harrowing, never-before-seen footage of the singer's 1984 Pepsi commercial accident
Usmagazine.com has exclusive, never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial accident, filmed in L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium on Jan. 27, 1984.
Look back at Michael Jackson's most unforgettable moments.
The clip (watch above) shows one take where the pyrotechnics exploded as planned -- after Jackson descended the stairs and began performing with his brothers.
See Michael Jackson's life in photos.
On the sixth take, though, things went horribly wrong: The fireworks erupted too early, igniting Jackson's head in flames. Jackson is at first unaware he's on fire, and continues dancing.
See 32 photos from inside Michel Jackson's Staples Center memorial.
He was never the same after the accident, reports the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands today.

Is this the minute that changed Michael Jackson's life?

Michael Jackson's Death, get over it if you can find a station not covering it
Another update,,,thanks to O'Reilly. The problem is that O'Reilly didn't think Jackson deserved any of this,,,,I just thought it didn't have to be covered every day for two weeks and then on every station on the planet. O'Reilly, well, what did you expect out of him? By the way, O'Reilly faulted Jackson for spending his own money at the same time he was rasing money with We Are The World. What is wrong with O'Reilly when he has all his own money and refuses to even acknowledge homeless veterans? Seems O'Reilly should first put his own money where his own mouth is.
Bill O'Reilly Says Jackson Is No Black Icon
News host Bill O'Reilly is famous for incendiary statements and no holds barred debates, and he continued his streak of controversial comments in his first broadcast after Michael Jackson's memorial service Tuesday. After opening the segment with a pledge to honor the Jackson family's request for privacy, O'Reilly digs right in with criticisms of Jackson's kids, spending habits - and skin care.
First, O'Reilly calls out Jackson's "incredible selfishness - spending hundreds of million dollars on himself while singing 'We Are the World,'" and adds that it "should make any clear-thinking American nauseous."

Time: A strange, gaudy and moving farewell
Top stories on CNN. Notice a trend here?
When the news broke that Michael Jackson died, it was the same day Farrah Fawcett died, the media just proved what they can do when they want to do it. They obliterated every other news story for the last two weeks. Palin got away with pulling a fast one off on the people of Alaska using the excuse now of the investigations into her life, but that has been going on since she said yes to McCain. Nothing new there but suddenly it's just too much for the Alaskan's to endure? Give me a break. Governor "hot flash" Sanford, takes off on the people of South Carolina and his family, then insults his wife over his affair being a "real love story" and gets away with it. We didn't know Michael Jackson any better than we knew Farrah Fawcett or Palin or Sanford. We saw them on TV. The difference was that the media jumped on the rest of the world and wanted to ride on Jackson's coattails. It really is a shame.
He was a man I watched grow up just like everyone else my age. Today, I turned 50. Jackson hit my TV set when I was just a year younger and while I adored hearing him sing, mesmerized with the way he danced, I never felt like I knew him. He was a tremendous talent and should have been honored but this has been a ridiculous show. It's as if the entire world stopped mattering.
President Obama was in Russia and managed to get them to allow more flights in their airspace to help with the military campaign in Afghanistan. They were also working on cutting down on the nukes. Did you notice any of that?
Lindsey Baum of McCleary Washington has been missing for 11 days now. She turns 11 today but her father is not only afraid he will not see her soon, he's afraid he'll have to deploy to Iraq before she's found. Scott Baum is a member of the Tennessee National Guard.
Did you know that according to ICasualties.org, we've lost 19 lives in Afghanistan so far this 7 days into July?
Did you know that NAMI Veterans Council saw fit to award Dr. Ira Katz, the man with the VA connected to the suicide deaths of our veterans and the cover-up so serious there were law suits and congressional action over this, but they decided he deserved an award for what he was forced to do, which has been too little and way too late for too many? Seems like that should be a big deal considering a lot of families had to also attend funerals for people gone way too soon. They died by their own hand because the government, the one we fund with our tax dollars, decided back when they sent the troops to war, they were not worth taking care of when they came home. All of them had families, friends and people left behind grieving wondering what the hell is wrong with this country when no one seems to care. For Heaven's sake! This is the National Alliance on Mental Illness Veterans Council we're talking about here! Any idea how many people with mental illness have been depending on them? Any idea what a stunt like this will do to the veterans they just slapped in the face?
I turned on TV today dealing with some pain from my back and all I saw was coverage of Jackson day on every channel. They actually filmed the ride from here to there and then wasted time filling it with people talking about Jackson as if they knew him any better than anyone else. Nothing else mattered. I turned on talk radio and there again, Michael Jackson. Tell me, aside from the media coverage of the trail and his acquittal, how much have we even heard about him until recently? We're talking about the last ten years of the man's life. How much coverage has there been? So what is this all about now? This is about money. This is about hyping all of this so that people can make money off his death.
The media can claim that they are about honoring Michael Jackson all they want but in the end they are just feeding like vultures. Had they really respected Jackson's career, his talent or even his music, they would have heard what most of this songs were about. They were about doing good and taking care of other people. We heard some of that today. The problem is this does not translate into the brains of the media when they actually could be saving lives right now, today!
If I did not track reports from across the country I wouldn't have even known about Lindsey Baum missing. Where are the reports to try to find her the way the story of Caylee Anthony was all over the media for months on end? I wouldn't be able to post anything of what we can do or what is being done for the troops or our veterans if I didn't have the local media outlets reporting on any of it. All the national news cares about is what they think will cause the remote control to stop at their station. Gone are the days when they reported on what mattered and what was really important. Today the world said good-bye to Michael Jackson but we said good-bye to real reporting a very long time ago. We just didn't notice.

It's nice to be plagiarized
It's nice to be plagiarized but at least this guy could have gotten the dates right. No, he didn't write this the way it looks 6-7-09 because Michael was still alive. So it must have been written July 6th. Too bad mine was written asking if Jackson had PTSD and pointed to this accident on

Is this the minute that changed Michael Jackson's life?
But as usual I needed an editor to check for typos and had it as Michale Jackson.
This is the link I used and also put up the video on the post.
But this "author junomich" was off by ten years. Also a bit late on the question raised and pointing to this event in his life.
I have no idea what this website is supposed to be about but I give them credit for trying.
PTSD has nothing to do with if someone is a child molester or not. Some use it to justify becoming one saying they were abused as children, but that does not mean all people with PTSD from being molested turned into being molesters. The other point raised was the changes in Jackson' appearance and odd behavior. Again, off base because the years were wrong. Jackson, as pointed out on the original posting, had begun to transform his face in a few years after this. You can see it in the pictures posted at the above link. There were so many events in his life and reports of being abused by his father, as reported by Michael in an Oprah interview, that PTSD is very likely but these events with the accident during filming the commercial would have sent mild PTSD into PTSD on steroids, as happens with most cases of un-addressed PTSD followed by another traumatic event. Changes in people happen for a reason, especially drastic ones.

1984: Michael Jackson burned in Pepsi ad
Michael Jackson has received hospital treatment for serious burns to his head after his hair caught light during a freak filming accident.
The 25-year-old entertainer was singing his hit "Billie Jean" for a Pepsi Cola commercial in Los Angeles when the special effects went wrong.
Three thousand fans saw a firework display erupt behind the superstar, showering him in sparks and setting light to his hair.
Some studio audience members said he was so calm, they thought the incident was part of the act.

Michael Jackson - PTSD- Why he was not a child molester
06.07.2009 Author: junomich Posted in Psychology
Abnormally Normal - Michael Jackson - Why He Wasn’t a Child Molester
At age 46, I could never understand the fascination with Elvis. Why did people continue to follow him, and visit Grace Land? That changed last week, when I opened my Yahoo to see that “Michael” died to young. What? I thought this must have been some kind of joke.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) requires that a person experience a traumatic event. While what may be traumatic to one person may not be traumatic to another. I have not read any traumatic events of Michael’s childhood, but I am certain that there were many.
Absent, any remarkable traumas in childhood “aside” from his stardom, in 1994 Michael’s hair caught on fire while filming a commercial. Now think about that for a moment, it was certainly a traumatic event. Imagine your own hair and scalp being on fire? The heat so tremendous…and what must go through your mind at that moment. Will I die? My face? You get the idea.
By almost all written accounts, Michael has almost always been rather reclusive, and just perhaps the 1994 accident was the final trigger for full blown out PTSD?
We all know that he suffered from depression which is a common Co-Morbid of common condition that people with PTSD suffer with. Whether the depression came before or after, does not matter. click link above for more

Is this the minute that changed Michael Jackson's life?
I didn't want to jump on the death of Michael Jackson. There is certainly enough coverage of him all around the world. There is one question that is not being asked. Did Michael Jackson have PTSD?
Michael Jackson was filming a commercial for Pepsi when his hair caught on fire. He fell down the stairs after. Reports on line claim this is when he began to use pain killers.
Jackson seems to have changed soon after this. Is this the minute that changed Michael Jackson's life?
Traumatic events can change anyone's life. The trick is getting the right help but back then, PTSD was not being talked about. To this day, there are many psychologists and psychiatrists unaware of what trauma can do to people. They misdiagnose PTSD all the time because it can appear to be so many different things if they are not looking at trauma.
Hallucinations can be looked at instead of flashbacks.
Paranoia can be looked at instead of what comes with PTSD along with OCD. The list goes on. When you read the events of this person's life, you can see many of the classic signs of PTSD. Irrational behavior, recklessly spending habits followed by reports of heavy medication.
We watched him change physically and the way he was acting but we also saw changes in his music. Thriller, Bad and We Are The World, all came out in the 80's.
We Are the World
PTSD can be mild for many years. On medication, it is possible that symptoms of PTSD could have been masked. What could have sent it, again, if he had PTSD, would be another stressful event in his life.
By 1993 he didn't look the same.
With all the coverage of Michael Jackson and all the hours talking about him on the news, wouldn't it be a good idea if someone asked this question?
