In case you're wondering if the law can step in and do something, the answer is NO. I know for sure that the California Son of Sam law (which stops criminals from profiting from their crimes) was shot down in 2002 Important news from budsgirl, which says it all www.twitlonger.com/show/e2ua9kPlease note that not only MJ fans are outraged, but EVERYONE including the media is disgusted with this travesty. But unfortunately, $$$ are more important than human decency. This is the world we live in... pathetic, isn't it?

It is so disgusting how you can go around the law like that, this is OK, LEGAL, just because the negotiations were completed before the verdict ? Outrageous!! At least we know now why Murray didn't take the stand during the trial. Why tell your story there for free when you can get payed for telling it elsewhere?! And this has been in the making for the past TWO years, his defense lawyers were part of this as well! Did they get payed for this too? I can't help but wonder, that now he has been found guilty, who on this God's green earth will believe him anyway? But does Murray even care? He's got his money now.

I sent out emails to every address I could get my hands on to protest the airing of this "documentary" and the consumer services of the TV stations in both Australia and the UK actually bothered to get back to me!
This is what I got from Australia:
"Thanks for your e-mail to ninemsn.
Unfortunately ninemsn has no control over the general programming of Channel Nine broadcasts, so we are regrettably unable to assist with your enquiry. For general enquiries or complaints regarding television shows or broadcasting on Channel Nine, please call Channel Nine directly on the following number:
(+612) 9906 9999
Kind regards,"
So, Not their fault, they can't help me. By the time I saw that email, about half an hour ago, it was already past midnight in Australia so the damage is probably done. But there is that phone number if we want to give them a ring anyway!
This is what I received from the UK:
"Thank you for your e-mail regarding the upcoming documentary, The Man Who Killed Michael Jackson. The trial of Dr Conrad Murray for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson has dominated headlines around the world. Now that the verdict of guilty is in, this observational and independent documentary provides an insight into Dr Murray's relationship with Jackson and how events unfolded on the day he died.
Further, we would advise that Dr Murray is in no way profiting from our transmission of this film ? our licence agreement with the production company stipulates that he will not receive any proceeds from the fee we pay to licence the film.
Nevertheless, your complaint regarding this programme has been logged and noted for the information of those responsible for our programming.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise.
Regards, "
What I feel they are basically saying is that since Murray isn't profiting directly from their broadcast, everything is just alright in the world.
Yeah, right!

Iris, thanks very much for your efforts! These are the kinds of responses others are getting too, unfortunately. So it looks like this farce is a GO, in Australia and here too. The Estate's hands are tied and all they can do is send a letter News agencies and even CNN have picked up on the story of the Estate's letter and fan outrage, but that won't stop it from airing. Really upsetting to know that, but at least we're not the only ones sickened at this. Have you seen Vinnie Politano's rants on HLN? He is sickened and disgusted and I LOVE IT! Many others, and not even MJ fans, think it goes against all human decency. But for those who choose to watch, they will just be curious to watch all the lies Murray will tell! Jermaine was on Piers Morgan last nite, and he was great! So many of us tweeted him to thank him because we all feel the same way! www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c3#/video/bestoftv/2011/11/10/piers-jermaine-jackson-murray-reaction.cnnJUSTICE for Michael!
