“They looked for evidence of manslaughter”
The police did on Wednesday a large raid of Michael Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray.

Over 24 police officers went through his Houston clinic.

- They looked for evidence of manslaughter, Murray’s lawyer said in a statement.

Los Angeles police together with narcotic enforcers raided Michael Jackson’s private doctor Conrad Murray’s clinic in Houston today, reports ABC News.

24 policemen in the raid came in a caravan of 15 cars to the doctor’s office in the morning U.S. time.

They left with the contents of a hard drive and 21 documents.

Cause of death: Propofol
Conrad was the last person who saw Jackson in life. There have been loud speculation that he may be liable for Jackson’s death.

The cops said that they got permission to raid this morning, after the preliminary results of the autopsy of Michael Jackson was completed. Post-mortem examination shows that the cause of death has to do with the drug Propofol, a substance used to anesthetize patients.

The reason for the search is that the cops want to clarify whether Conrad Murray prescribed proposol to Jackson. Something he and his lawyer refused to answer.

Jackson’s death a crime
The investigation of the popstars dead is now classed as a criminal investigation.

“The authorization to raid allowed the police to search and seize items, including documents, which may constitute evidence of homicide,” writes Conrad Murray attorney Edward Chernoff at the law firm’s website.

Conrad Murray has two clinics. One in Houston and one in Las Vegas. The practice in Houston is in the Armstrong Medical Clinic. A clinic owned by a doctor who lost his license to prescribe drugs in 2005 – after he “over prescribed”, said drug police.

Murray has been questioned twice before and in a statement – before the raid – said his lawyer that he cooperate with the investigation.

Did You hit Michael when he was a child?

The question asked television profile Larry King on Monday evening to Joe Jackson.

- No, never. That is bullshit, said Michael Jackson’s father.

Joe Jackson shaped Michael and his brothers to the Jackson Five. According to Michael Jackson, it should have been done by means of violence.

- I was terrified of my own father. He stood with a belt in his hand when we have been rehearsing, the popstar told.

“No error”
Yesterday visited Joe Jackson the TV profile Larry King’s show and responded to allegations from his now late son.

- I made no mistakes when I raised my sons, “said Jackson.

Did you ever damaged Michael physically?

- Never. I raised him like you would raise your children, you know?

Joe Jackson continued his apology:

- Damage Michael, why would I do that? He is my son I loved him and I love him still.

“Need to be children”
In the U.S. has a rumor been spread that Joe Jackson planning to take Michaels three children on tour as the “Jackson 3.”

- It is also bullshit. Right now, they need to just be children.

Janet Jackson, 45, wants to take care of and educate Michael Jackson’s children.

Now she reads stories to hers nephews in the evenings and hugs them.

- She loves them as if they were her own, “says a friend of the family.

It was Aunt Janet, who laid the comforting arms of Paris and her siblings during the memory ceremony for Michael Jackson last week.

Friends of the family tells the Daily Mirror and The Sun that Janet has come ever closer to her nephews in recent weeks. She has no children of her own, but take care of Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, as if they were hers.

Lives with grandmother
The children now live with their grandmother Katherine, 79, in Jackson’s family residence in Encino.

- They lack their father but the family sees that they are okay. They must not miss the love, “says a familjevän to the Daily Mirror.

Michael Jackson’s spiritual advisor, June Gatlin, talked to him about what would happen to the children if he went away.

- We talked April 16 and then he said that he wanted his mother would take the children and if anything should happen to her so Janet would take care of them.

Want to be with aunt
In his will of 2002 Michael wanted that Diana Ross would have custody of the children if something happened his mother.

A friend tells OK Magazine that there is no doubt that the children want to be with their aunt Janet.

- They melt in her arms when she comes into the house. She has been their rock. It is clear to everyone that they are looking for her. All three want her to read for them in the evenings.

“Their rock”
On Monday, the custody of the children will be raised in a court hearing in Los Angeles.

Debbie Rowe, Prince Michael and Paris biological mother, is expected to attend.

Michael Jackson never gave out his verison of the group “Americas” song “A horse with no name”. He liked the song so much, that he recorded his own version. Here you can listen to a piece from “A place with no name”.

Already back in 1971 the group “Americas” made the song “A horse with no name”. Several years later thought superstar Michael Jackson that the song was worth playing again – in another version, stating entertainment site tmz.com. 

Michael was given permission by the group’s manager to record the song, despite the similarity with the original. Even “Americas’ current manager, who also worked for Michael Jackson back in the 80’s and 90’s confirms the event.

- The band was flattered that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it will be available to all Michaels fans, “says Jim MOREY to tmz.com.

Michael Jackson’s three children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 5, were isolated 
Michael Jackson’s children did not know who was their mother. They didn’t know that their father was a superstar.

But now have the isolated children tossed their masks, which they had been forced to bear.

- We want them to live a normal life now,  “said Michael Jackson’s sister La Toya.

Jackson’s three children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 5, has not only lost their father.

Since they never had a mother, they are now completely orphaned.

Debbie Rowe, who is biological mother of the two oldest children, have in fact never been their mother, according to La Toya. It was Michael Jackson who changed diapers and sat at the kitchen table and fed them when they were small. The marriage was arranged for Jackson wanted children. After the divorce, 1999, Rowe said that the children’s father is an anonymous sperm donor.

- Debbie has only met the children a handful of times. Michael never presented her as their mother, “said La Toya in an interview with the Mail on Sunday.

He chose the donor in a catalog 
She also reveals that Blanket came to by an egg and sperm donation.

Michael Jackson chose the donor in a catalog.

According to La Toya, Michael and the children lived isolated from the outside world. He had few friends and the children were not in school but had homeschooling. Marlon Brando’s son Mike Brando worked as a security guard at Jackson. His children were some of the few outside the family whom the children where allowed to spend time with.

Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket could not see on regular TV, only on children channels and Disney Movies. They did not, therefore, knew that their father was one of the world’s most famous people until recently.

Jackson overwhelmed them with toys, but even if they were spoiled with gifts, he made sure they would be courteous and always say thanks.

“Very smart”
- The children are very smart and educated. Blanket could read and write when he was 4 years, says his godfather Mark Lester, an old friend of Jackson, in an interview with Hello.

He and his children met with them last March when they were visiting in London.

Masks that the children had was there to protect them from photographers. According to Lester, they never had them on indoors. But in London, the children went out like any other children – without being discovered.

- I and the children went for shopping clothes in the West End and we went to the circus, too. No one knew who they were and they loved it, “says Mark Lester.

His daughter, Lucy Lester, 17, is Michael Jackson’s godchild and she plays down the image of the children who would have lived isolated from the outside world. Paris is interested in clothes and likes to sing while boys often play ruff with each other.

- The children are like us, they like the same music, TV shows and movies and fashion, especially Paris.

The reason why children didn’t had masks at the funeral is for the Jackson family wants them to live as others.

- If we had kept the masks on, people would have chased them. We hope that people will leave them alone now so that they may provide.

Paris takes it hard
La Toya describing Paris as the most vulnerable of children. She often  wrote small flaps to her dad about things that she is considering, and she does it still.

- She took his death harder than the others. She is wearing Michael Jackson-shirts and upholstering her walls with pictures and posters of him.

All three children saw their father’s body at the hospital, it is the only time that Prince Michael cried after his father’s death. But the night before the funeral Paris chose to see her father alone a last time.

She brought with her a simple necklace with a heart that is divided in two and changes color when in contact with the skin. Gently she virade the one part around her dead father’s wrist. The second part she carries around her neck.

- For my father it will be blue because he is cold, to me it will be purple, she said.

A new will
The children live right now at the home of their grandmother Katherine. Their old nanny Grace Rwaramba is also there and the kids getting professional help to work through grief.

In the will Michael wrote that he wanted it to be Diana Ross thet would take care of the kids unless his mother would cope. But La Toya believes that there is a newer will.

- Michael always told us that he wanted his oldest sister Rebbie to take care of the children. She has a nice family that he loved.

Fans from all over the world came to London’s O2 Arena
On Monday evening the premiere of Michael Jackson’s 50 concerts in London passed the bar.

Hundreds of fans took to the O2 arena in honor of their music hero.

Tonight would be the curtain gone up for the very first “This is it”-concert.

The fans saw it as a chance for a final farewell to Michael Jackson and streamed to the O2 arena in south-east London with flowers and candles in their hands.

Minute’s silence and song
At 6.30 pm there was a minute’s silence. That was when the concert stadium doors would be opened, writes BBC News.

At seven, many fans took each other in hand and sang Jackson’s song “We are the world”, reports CNN.

Many of those who came to say goodbye had bought tickets for opening night.

- I am here to honor the king, “said Morgana Branah, 29, just back from Los Angeles where she had hoped to attend the official ceremony of memory.

She says that Jackson’s death is one of the worst things she experienced in her life.

- I felt it was my duty to honor him, which have given my life so much magic and beauty.

“Father Figure and a model”
Martin Russo, 28, and Enrico Ardito, 34, had taken to London from Italy.

- I grew up with his music and he is my only idol. He had a special bond with his fans. Michael cared for real, “says Russo.

Sophie Bradley, 25, came flying from the Middle East to say thank you to Jackson.

- I had to. He was a father figure and a role model.

All tickets for the 50 “This is it ‘concerts sold out immediately after they were released in March this year.

The singer said that they would be his last performances ever.

La Toya: I know who did it
Michael Jackson’s family is convinced that he was murdered.

They believe it’s a group that wants to lay their hands on his fortune.

- I know who did it and I do not give up until I get them, “says his sister La Toya Jackson.

In interviews with the British News of the World and Mail on Sunday tells La Toya, 53, about Michaels last time in life and how the family are now trying to help the children get through the grief.

- Michael was murdered. We do not believe that only one person was involved, but an entire plot. I feel it was all about money. Michael was good for more than one billion pounds in the music rights alone and someone killed him for it. He was worth more dead than alive, “she says.

Manipulation
She describes how her brother became isolated, drug addicted and manipulated by a group of people who did not want his best. La Toya says: 

 *  He was provided with medicines so that he could be controlled. 

  * Family was shut out of manipulative people and could not visit him. 

  * He was working hard even though he did not want to implement the 50 concerts in London. He just wanted to make ten. 

  * He was robbed of 25 million dollars in cash when he was dying.

La Toya was the one in the family who were closest to Michael and she was also the person who signed the death certificate. It was she who ordered a second autopsy. It showed the syringe marks on both his neck and arms. She and the family has received test answers of the autopsy report.

- I think everyone will be surprised when the results come out. But I can not go into it more because of the ongoing police investigation.

The police  investigation is also the reason why she does not want to reveal what she and the family think is behind Michael Jackson’s death.

Alone with the doctor
But she is suspicious of his personal doctor Conrad Murray who was the last who saw him in life, Michael was in his room when the ambulance came.

- Michael went from his room to Dr Murray room. What happened in there, we do not know. He was alone with the doctor.

A few years ago, Michael told her that he was worried that someone was looking to get  him.

- He said “they will kill me for my publishing rights. They want my music directory and they will kill me for it. ”

“She wanted to see Daddy”
LaToya says that his brother’s death knit together the family Jackson.

They are now making every effort to take care of his three children Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket. La Toya has been at their side all the time and was the one that held their hands when they saw thier dead father.

- It was Paris who said she wanted to see her dad one last time so I brought them into the room. There was a towel over his face and when I removed it Paris said: “Oh Daddy I love you”.

Paris held his hand and the children became calmer after they saw the body and has since received professional help to process what happened.

According to La Toya, they have learned only relatively recently that their dad was a superstar. They have not gone to school and had only watched children channels on TV.

Paris still writes small letter to her father, and around her neck she has a necklace with half a heart. The other half is in Michael Jackson’s coffin. She took his death hardest and throughout  her room she has posters of the father and she also bears Michael Jackson t-shirts.

Do not know the mother
Neither she or big brother Prince Michael knows that Debbie Rowe is their biological mother, the only think that she is a friend.

La Toya also reveals how they got Blanket, the youngest of the children.

- They took eggs from a donor and I think that the semen came from one of five donors that Michael selected in a catalog. I do not know who bore the child or if the surrogate mother knew whose child she bore, “she says.

Custody negotiations postponed
It is still not clear who gets custody of Michael Jackson’s three children.

Children’s grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and the two oldest children’s mother, Deborah Rowe, trying to agree on a private solution.

Katherine Jackson, 79, and Deborah “Debbie” Rowe, 50, have jointly requested that the negotiations be postponed for a week. Today, their request was granted by a court.

The two are now trying to agree on a solution without the involvement of the courts.

In the meantime, Katherine Jackson temporary custody of the three orphaned children.

“Children’s best”
“We are delighted that the custody hearing was postponed to July 20 so that we can continue to resolve this very important issue on their own and in a friendly spirit and in a dignified way for the children’s best and for everyone involved,” according to L . Londell McMillan, Katherine Jackson’s lawyer to the AP.

But both Rowe and her lawyer declines to comment on the postponement of the hearing.

Rowe has been in an interview said that she intends to seek custody of the two oldest children, who are her biological children. She said also that she is willing to take care of the youngest child, who is born of an unknown surrogate mother.

But she has not submitted such a request to the court.

Rowe excluded
In his will signed 2002, Michael Jackson wrote that his mother would get custody of his children if he would die. If it was not possible, singer Diana Ross should become guardians of the three children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and Prince Michael II, 7. Debbie Rowe was not included in the will at all.

Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe married in 1996, Rowe filed for divorce three years later when she gave up custody of the children. Later, a court of appeal found that it was not legally valid, but Rowe and Jackson made their own agreement in 2006.
