Janet is just as bad as Latoya. At least, she conceals her deceit very well.Janet, just like the others are is exploiting MJ's death. Very close to MJ indeed. Why wasn't his kids willed to her?

She seems like a very sweet, caring sister. She also has his eyes.

Its one thing to be an addict and do this to yourself but when you are a professional sworn to meet certain guidelines to protect and heal you don't allow yourself to be hired to conspire to meet addicts wants.

IMO you CAN place most of the blame the doctor. His actions and gross malpractice were criminal. He should have referred him to a sleep specialist. MJ was not getting high...he just wanted some rest. RIP MJ.

You can't put all the blame on the doctor. MJ was an addict. Many times addicts lives end in death. Seems lately, everyone wants to find someone else to blame when the addict od's (that DJ guy for example). It's suicide by drugs.

Can't blame the doctor? I honestly can't believe anyone would say that. Murray gives MJ a drug that he knows the patient should be monitored every second & he leaves the patient alone, then patient dies. If he had been there MJ wouldn't have died.

It's amazing how much she looks like her mother. I feel so sorry for her. She seems to be the only one that is truly grieving over MJs death because he was her brother, not because of any financial gain/loss.

Janet does seem to be the only one in the Jackson family that isn't using Michael's death for profit or fame and the only one from day one that has mourned his loss. No wonder Michael was so close to Janet. He knew she was true.
