Nurse testifies: “MJ begged for sleep aid, then fired her after refusal”

The ReadyWriter

I bet you Cherilyn Lee (pictured above), is glad she refused to give Michael Jackson propofol, if she hadn’t; she might be sitting where Conrad Murray is today; on trial for the pop star’s death.

Lee testified in the Conrad Murray trial today, how the sleep-hungry singer begged her to give him the powerful anesthetic two months prior to his death, then fired her when she refused.

The nurse who stood by her professional ethics, was called to the witness stand today by defense lawyers for Dr. Conrad Murray, but her testimony often worked against the physician, whose now on trial for involuntary manslaughter going on week five.

Lee, a nurse practitioner in holistic medicine, recounted to jurors how Jackson, 50, asked for the anesthetic propofol by its brand name, Diprivan, during a meeting at his house in April 2009.

“He looked at me and said: ‘What I need is something that’s going to help me fall asleep right away, (and) the only thing that will help me do that is Diprivan,” Lee recalled of the house call. It was her last trip to Jackson’s home and the last time she saw him alive.

She said that after learning about the surgery-strength drug she was surprised he requested it. She said she quickly expressed to him her concerns. “He said: ‘No, I just need somebody to come here, and I will be safe. If it was monitored. As long as I’m being monitored,” she recalled.

She described the singer as “upset” over his insomnia and convinced that propofol – which he said he had received during a prior surgery, was the answer to his woes.

Lee said she ultimately refused to give him the medication, and that was the last time she ever saw Jackson in person, despite a history of giving him intravenous nutritional supplements. Defense lawyers hope her testimony will cast Jackson as a challenging patient who was blind to the dangers of the strong anesthetic.

In the meantime, Murray, 58, has pleaded not guilty and faces up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical license if convicted. He contends Jackson gave himself extra drugs without his knowledge, causing a perfect storm that fueled the “Thriller” singer’s overdose and death.

The media is contending that the jury may have this case and ready to deliberate by the end of next week.

So stay tuned.

“House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Is A Fuckin Punk!!!!”

The ReadyWriter

Eric Cantor hate President Obama, he envies our “commander in chief” and has loathed him ever since he took his place in the White House in 2008. Cantor has not only been widely involved in the process of blocking Obama’s bills at every level but he has that look of envy and hatred against our president in his eyes.

Cantor was scheduled to speak at the University of Pennsylvania on “income inequality” today but when Cantor found out that the University had opened his speech to the general public his office phoned the University and cancelled. Especially since protestors had already began demonstrating well before the scheduled 4:30 p,m, start time of Cantor’s address.

Cantor’s office was told that only the university community would be invited to attend the event, but Capitol Police informed the majority leader’s office Thursday night that the first 300 people in line would be allowed in. The Daily Pennsylvanian, the campus paper, reported that protestors were allowed to move from the street onto Penn’s campus hours before the speech was slated to begin. The college paper reported that protestors were planning to be there as early as 9 a.m.

Cantor thought his speech would be exclusively for the University of Pennsylvania community, his punk ass wasn’t about to address a protesting crowd; especially since he is currently standing firm with his fellow Republicans in blocking President Obama’s job bill in the house.

Eric Cantor is a hypocrite! How can he speak on income inequality when he’s blocking a jobs bill which is hindering some American people from having one (an income that is).

“3 Charged After 4 Mentally Disabled Adults Were Found Locked In A Boiler Room”

The ReadyWriter

Four mentally disturbed disabled adults, were found malnourished in a locked boiler room by the buildings landlord on Saturday. Police believe Linda Weston (the ring leader of this scheme) had been stealing their Social Security disability checks, as part of a much-larger fraud.

This twisted crime to collect their benefit checks could be among the first of its kind prosecuted as a federal hate crime, an FBI official said yesterday. The four disabled were kept behind a locked steel door where they were beaten, mistreated and only given water to drink by their captors (pictured above).

The cramped, 6-foot-high, 15-foot-wide bomb shelter was hidden behind the steel door in the basement of Linda Weston’s home and stank of urine and human feces, authorities said. The four were found lying in their own filth.

This story is so disturbing and inhumane, I had an extremely hard time writing about it.

The three suspects, ringleader Linda Ann Weston, her boyfriend Gregory Thomas and accomplice Eddie Wright, all face multiple charges for holding the victims, who authorities say have the mental capacity of 10-year-olds.

Police believe the four, who range in age from 29 to 40 were held so Weston, Thomas and Wright could keep their Social Security checks.
