>> there were many pill bottles found at the home with various names on them. >> reports about the powerful sedative diprivan found in michael jackson's home. >> this powerful drug is used in operating rooms to knock out patients. >> there's an indication that these drugs may have been administered by another party by injection this could be a homicide investigation. >> a documentary about michael jackson's final days could be in the works. >> "wall street journal's" web side says aig live may reach a deal with a major studio this week. >> he should not have been getting ready for a 50-day concert tour. he should have been in a hospital getting proper medication and proper attention and unfortunately the enablers around him disregarded that. they had dollar signs in his eyes and today there's a dead man and there's three children
8:05 pm
without a proper game plan. >> are you ready for fight for your children? >> do not touch me! >> a source close to the family said katherine jackson's attorney is trying to broker a deal regarding custody. >> rowe stands to be paid many millions if she agrees to give up any contact and any custody with her two children. >> and breaking news in the search for a 2-year-old florida girl. six months of searching culminates when skeletal remains found in a heavily wooded area 15 houses from the anthony home confirmed to be caylees. a utility meter reader stumbles on a tiny human skeleton including a skull covered in light colored hair. the killer placing a heart shape sticker directly over the mouth. then bagging little caylee like she's trash. bombshell tonight. the defense fires a torpedo at

8:07 pm
while the friend was out of town. she did this during a time when caylee was missing. >> these are grand theft charges, fraud and forgery charges for the checks. >> i can't change my mind? >> i believe the baby is alive. the little girl is deceased. i believe she passed it off to one of her friends. >> i don't believe someone else put a body in the car. >> your daughter took money from your mother? >> correct. >> when was that? >> i believe there was a $27 and $200 one time. >> i changed my mind once. >> i am hoping the little girl is alive. >> do you estimate it will take a week to get her back? >> a week from today. >> the little girl is deceased. >> i don't think she's dead. >> i changed my mind 180 degrees. >> i don't know what your involvement is but you're not telling me where she's at. >> because i don't [ bleep ] know where she's at. are you kidding me?
8:08 pm
>> good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us tonight. the mystery surrounding the sudden death of music superstar michael jackson intensifies. >> the attorney general's office is looking at dozens of doctors who may have been involved in getting prescription drugs for michael jackson. >> a source involved with the investigation told us numerous bottles of prescription medicati medication had been found in jackson's rented mansion. >> they track prescription drugs. the names of several of michael jackson's doctors and those aliases that michael jackson used and what they're trying to do is track who wrote him what prescription, how much, and when and over what period of time. >> there are reports that police found diprivan, a powerful anesthetic in michael jackson's house. >> the source told us that jackson had numerous track marks on his arms and those marks could be consistent with regular
8:09 pm
iv use of a drug like diprivan. >> brand name is diprivan. both interchangeable. same drug. supplied in vials like this. >> diprivan is not something that should ever be prescribed. >> if the powerful anesthetic was cause of death, anyone that issued that anesthetic to michael jackson and was not physically there to administer it committed gross negligence and should be held accountable. >> it's not on that data base because it's not a controlled substance. >> do you believe in conspiracy? >> it's murder. i think someone did it. that's my opinion. >> family members now publicly saying he's a doctor. he's a live-in doctor. why is michael jackson dead? you are seeing michael jackson's sister la toya giving her opinion to tmz cameras that someone murdered her brother. out to mike walker, senior editor with the "national
8:10 pm
enquirer." what charges are they levying against this live in doctor? >> they say this is murder. for whatever motive, who knows. it could be insurance. it could be incompetence. if this doctor, dr. murray, was not a trained anesthesiologist, he's not allowed to use diprivan in a home setting like that. even if he were, he would have to have the devices that you need to keep somebody breathing. this is a drug that's only to be used in an operating room. if diprivan was used here when toxicology reports shows that caused the death if it does, you'll hear a cry of murder go up. at the very least it will be a manslaughter charge in my opinion. >> while the doctors are scurrying around l.a. claiming they're not being probed, there are dozens of doctors being probed in a potential homicide
8:11 pm
case this as we learn jackson's body allegedly being kept in a freezer as they demand a portion of his brain be returned to the body before burial. what do you know? >> the family in terms of the doctors, dr. murray who is sort of the lead antagonist in this story line says he's not dodging lapd as reports have been surfacing over the weekend but that he's been working with investigators 100% complying and so far he's saying that this pretty much is a character attack on him. >> out to the lines, hi, bernadine. what's your question, dear? >> caller: how can they say that this is not a murder? this dr. conrad murray for one thing if he was a doctor, how
8:12 pm
could he give this man diprivan? >> exactly. let's go out to the chief medical examiner. dr. bell, obviously this is an overnight dosage of diprivan. explain how you can prove a shot of diprivan caused cardiac arrest, dr. bell? >> well, the short answer is you have to rule out any other causes of death besides the diprivan. that would include subtle heart or brain abnormalities and other drug overdoses. >> you're telling me, it's a process of elimination? >> yes.
8:16 pm
>> a source close to the investigation saying murder charges are not likely. we're wondering how is that if a doctor irresponsibly gave michael jackson diprivan and that's the primary cause of death, how is that not murder? there's nothing to suggest it so unsupported by the facts so far. >> the coroner has to rule this a homicide which means it wasn't an accidental death. there are a number of charges that the d.a. can proceed with among them illegally prescribing drugs under a number of aliases. >> for prosecutors to go after first-degree murder they have to prove that someone intended to kill michael jackson. then you look at second degree which is a woeful disregard from human life then you look at the involuntary manslaughter and that may be the best way to go if in fact they're going to prosecute anyone. >> michael jackson had a very good relationship with all of his doctors. michael jackson was controlling everything. remember, he put a physician on
8:17 pm
his payroll for this concert. evidently he was the one who was telling him what he needed. >> we are taking your calls live. back to mike walker, senior editor of "the national inquirer" why don't they bury him? it's been 25 days. i don't know where the body is except that it's on ice somewhere. >> it's on ice. if this was your child, would you not at this point say bury him? we're waiting for this little piece of brain which by now is as hard as a brick. they slice little slices off it to show under a microscope. what they're doing is they're building the mystery and mystique. that's you why hear all of this murder and foul play from joe. he wants to keep this exciting. he wants it to be a mystery. why are these boys, his brothers, going down to do a concert with michael not even in the ground yet. this is disgusting behavior. fans should rise up against this. >> what concert?
8:18 pm
i understand that there's a ghoulish plan to resurrect the jackson 5. >> i am breaking in my column tomorrow what i call the zombie zone. this is joe jackson -- we already heard him suggest the jackson 3. prince michael and blanket and the daughter. >> paris. >> paris. unbelievable. this is even more unbelievable. he's going to put the boys out there, the other brothers in the jackson 5 out there doing shows, nancy, with michael or michael's voice with those unreleased records we heard about that are in the vaults. what he's going to do -- michael may rise up out of the grave when he hears this, he's going to turn his son into a dumb ass oldies act. >> nobody had a bad reaction when natalie cole did it. however -- go ahead. >> a labor of love. a labor of love.
8:19 pm
it was one thing. one song. it meant something unforgettable. that's what you are. that's not that. >> this would be them going on tour and essentially putting him up like a hologram behind them while they dance and sing to his brand new songs that they never even heard of? >> yeah. like the platters when it wasn't one person from the platters left touring the world in obscure places. >> what can you tell me about aeg starting a $50 million for the video of his last rehearsals? >> well, i love aeg. i would like to say that right up front. these guys are smart businessmen. they're making money from this -- i have sources inside the music industry and the studio industry telling me about these deals going on. john is doing a terrific job selling off all of these different rights while the selling is hot. don't get mad at aeg. why shouldn't they sell the
8:20 pm
rights to these concerts and this video footage and so forth? why not. >> mike walker, you and i rarely disagree but there is something wrong with this steady stream of people and entities and corporate giants and everybody taking a little piece of jackson's dead body. some people may say it's good business. to me it's distasteful. there's something wrong with it. i don't like it. maybe i'm wrong. >> aeg is selling video. nothing wrong with selling video. what joe jackson is going to do is take the living brothers and put them out on the stage and i don't know have a little amitron be michael. it will be ghoulish.
8:24 pm
>> i got this chill through my body. i said, michael, if you take that medicine you might not wake up. >> we're not investigating the doctors. we're investigating mr. michael jackson's death. >> you have doctors who allegedly overprescribed or abused -- >> jackson family confidant, i understand that while katherine jackson says she's not contesting the will, she is in fact planning to contest terms of the will specifically who the executors will be. >> when an executor is challenged for things like a conflict of interest or not having the best interest of an estate in their business practices, that's not a challenge of the terms of the will. there's no disputing the executor was named in the will so you're not challenging the will. what you're saying is that in an
8:25 pm
interim period of time, an executor has executed a conflict of interest. being very cautious and this is the way she should do it. >> oxman says she's not contesting the will but contesting a term of the will. >> not a term. no. it's not a term of the will. it's saying in the interim period that a conflict has developed and it does not challenge the terms of the will. >> i heard you the first time. out to dorian holly, vocal director that worked with jackson for 22 years. saw him the night before that last rehearsal. thank you for being with us, dorian holly. what can you tell me about his demeanor when you last saw him? >> well, nancy, you know the assumption since this tragedy has happened and because of what people have been saying, people believe that michael was ill and that he was weak and that he couldn't go through with the 50
8:26 pm
shows. his demeanor couldn't have been more different. he was energetic. he was happy. rehearsals were great. he seemed to be excited about the prospect of doing the tour. as you know the tickets sold in record time. there were lots more tickets that could have been sold if they wanted to. the fact is it seemed to me that he was completely ready to do the trial and excited about doing the trial. >> with me dorian holley who saw jackson the last night before his rehearsal. robin, former prosecutor, thank you for being with us. what's your take on what's going on? >> as a former l.a. prosecutor and having friends still in the office and been involved with some of the people who are in the office, it is pretty clear to me that there's a thorough investigation that's going on. all aspects of the investigation are being looked at. both the homicide aspect, the legal prescription drug aspect, they're going through mountains
8:27 pm
of evidence on everything and that's where they're at right now waiting for the final confirmation on the autopsy reports. >> robin sax, if they could forward with a homicide charge, what would the theory be? >> i think that they would go through -- if they're going to do it it would be involuntary manslaughter and reckless disregard for human life as a doctor. ♪ dddddddddddddddd
8:30 pm
>> you started -- >> $40 or more than that at a time. >> $354 missing out of my expense account. >> an intense fight right before casey left with caylee in mid june was over money casey had stolen from her grandparents from an account dedicated to paying with assisted living expenses. tensions had been building over
8:31 pm
the theft. >> there were deposit slips that she forged for $4,400. >> with her mother's name on it? >> yeah. with our account. >> you also have an understanding that your daughter had taken money from your mother, is that right? >> correct. >> when was that and how much was that? >> i believe there was a $27 or $47 one time and 200 and some dollars one time. >> she took money from your grandmother -- i'm sorry, from your mother, her grandmother, by writing a bad check, is that your understanding? >> correct. >> did casey take money from you by using your credit cards without your permission?
8:32 pm
>> it's not relevant to this case. i'm not answering the question. >> straight out to jean casarez. she allegedly took money from her best friend. they want a delay. surprise. surprise. surprise. i told you ever since i met you ten years ago that is a defense attorney's best friend delay, delay, delay. no big headline for me there. the big headline for me is the defense fires a torpedo at lady justice demanding that bounty hunter leonard padilla and his employees that got close to top mom be kept off the stand. i have a problem when a lawyer doesn't want the jury to hear some testimony. why? >> this has just happened. this is a motion the defense filed with the court. he's telling leonard padilla
8:33 pm
that they don't want any statement that casey anthony said to leonard padilla about the case to come into her trial, to be told to prosecutors or to be told to the media because they say that leonard padilla was an agent of the defense when he was providing security to casey anthony last year and because of that he's therefore subject to the attorney/client privilege. >> out to leonard padilla joining us from sacramento, california. leonard, long time no see. did you think you would be in the middle of a legal fight where you have a whole fleet of defense attorneys trying their best to keep you muzzled. what do you know they don't want a jury to hear, padilla? >> i believe that the situation that jose bias and his team we don't want in front of the jury
8:34 pm
would be the testimony forthcoming from us which would be 180 degrees out of focus from what they have from law enforcement and what she told law enforcement. you know as well as i do when you're in front of a jury and there's two stories told, the jury generally picks one or the other. here they would have a choice of whether they gave the child up to baby sitter or did she have the baby taken from her and given a list of 30 instructions to give law enforcement which was nothing more than lies and the jury would sit back and say, hold on. this is ridiculous and choose both stories as being untrue. >> what this signifies to me is they'll stick with the nanny took the baby. you can't tell a jury she took her when i dropped her off for nanny day care as opposed she took the baby from my arms at a
8:35 pm
public park in broad daylight. you can't have your cake and eat it, too. your testimony and your people's testimony would totally destroy that. >> absolutely. if you some day down the road i don't know about what tracy will testify to or what her testimony will be -- >> that's your former employee? >> it's all of these people that baez is afraid of. >> how did they get close to top mom to hear all this? >> when i took on the deal i would put up the $50,000 and my nephew would put up half a million dollar bond, the agreement before we went to florida with jose baez over several conversations i had with him was we want to be in the room with this young lady constantly. we don't want to do it to be
8:36 pm
eef eavesdropping on her. the ankle monitoring system isn't 100% full proof. i didn't want to put my nephew at risk for half a million dollars. there was contingencies by jose. we agreed we wouldn't interfere with her constitutional rights. that's part of the agreement. >> liz, you can quit showing that classy shot. we've seen that enough. thanks for the refresher. leonard, who paid you? did anybody pay you for the security? >> no. fact is rob dick told me, miguel and kevin went as volunteers. when i offered to pay them, they said no. >> that was a yes/no answer. did you get paid? >> nobody paid me. nobody paid me. >> lawyers joining me tonight.
8:37 pm
robin sax out of the l.a. jurisdiction. and former federal prosecutor now defense attorney out of new york, doug burns. robin sax, the defense didn't pay him. why are they suggesting that he worked for them and is therefore bound by attorney/client privilege? >> jose baez isn't going to stop at anything. any sort of way that he can hassle the prosecution with every motion possible is considered a win for him. if he can keep leonard off of the air, it will be better for him later on. i think this is a frivolous waste of time. i don't think that the attorney/client privilege will hold where there's no attorney/client relationship. >> doug burns another thing baez doesn't want this jury to hear about is not just what she said but how she said it. her demeanor in the days and hours after she sprung out of jail for the first time while
8:38 pm
caylee is allegedly still missing. >> that's right. the minute leonard padilla got involved in this case, i said 20 red flags of attorney/client privilege went off in my head. it wouldn't be privilege. back to robin, he'll lose that motion and he'll testify. >> doug, if you claimed red flags and alarm or waving in the back your mind, did you think that there was at any point a privilege? i'm talking everybody about husband/wife, priest/parishioner, attorney/client privilege where that attorney can't get on the stand and blurt out what you have told him or her. same thing applies to people that work for the lawyer. so if you were concerned, do you think that there's an argument -- do you think he has a leg to stand on to keep padilla off the stand? >> they signed a confidentiality agreement but they have a specific clause that says law enforcement subpoenas are an exception. i think they'll lose. >> randy kessler? >> he has to make a record. the prosecution has something to
8:39 pm
lose. if they file an appeal because this privilege was evaded, that's a risk. the prosecution may forego the testimony from padilla to make it a cleaner trial. >> very quickly back to leonard padilla staying with us to answer your questions. leonard, what was her demeanor during those hours and days when you first and your people were first around her? >> let me tell you something that i suggested to jose baez in the first five minutes i met him. i said, jose, pay us a buck if you want the privilege to stick. otherwise there's no privilege. he said i'm not interested in that at all. the demeanor is one of a compulsive liar. >> top mom still behind bars as she awaits trial. we're taking your calls live. quickly with nearly 100 reported drownings involved children under five years hold. here are safety tips for your young swimmers. always be supervised by an adult. make sure they don't play with
8:40 pm
8:43 pm
>> the state attorney's office issued formal charges against casey anthony for allegedly forging checks belonging to a friend. >> this may be a tough thing to answer. >> go ahead. >> did you borrow something from anyone or remove it without their permission that caylee might be being held for? >> no. >> these checks came from her friend's car. amy went on vacation to puerto rico allowing casey to use the car and she allegedly took checks and is passing this bad paper. apparently she's passed some additional bad checks to area businesses. >> i know that's a tough
8:44 pm
question, sweetie. i need to ask you. >> it's not a tough question, dad. mom knows the stuff that i had taken from her. we discussed that, you know, on numerous occasions and with amy. you know, i feel guilty about that. i feel extremely guilty but i was under a time of desperation. >> channel learned that an intense fight was over money that casey had stolen from her own grandparents from an account dedicated to paying for assisted living expenses. tensions were building over the theft. >> what did the person do that you need arrested? >> my daughter. >> for what? >> for stealing an auto and stealing money. >> and we learned today the defense wants the bad check charges trial delayed. that's not a surprise. drew with wbdo is joining us from orlando. what is their excuse for a delay in the check trial? >> they say they need to have
8:45 pm
time to study for the murder case. that it takes a lot of resources, time and money and if they're forced to focus on a fraud case now that will take away from casey's right to a fair trial in her murder case. >> that's bs. we know they're getting a further notice or a continuance in the murder case. we already know that. a death penalty case will linger for years before it goes to trial sometimes. they'll give them all of the time in the world they want to get ready on the dp case. do they need more time on a bad check case? a bad check case may take three days once you strike a jury. maybe to try. >> that's true. a check case will take no time at all. the delay and the naed to study up for the death penalty case and murder case is really just an excuse. however, the real question and the real point that's going to resonate with the judge is the economic resources and the economic condition of bringing
8:46 pm
in a full set of jurors, having to call witnesses in a case where if she gets the death penalty, who cares about the punishment on the check case. >> the kicker, to you doug burns, if a death penalty trial goes to a sentencing phase, you try guilt and innocence and then you try the sentence. if she's already got a felony conviction for writing bad checks on a friend's checking account, that may come in in aggravation at death penalty phase. >> that's a good point. another point that's kind of interesting is if she gets convicted on the check case, then if she went to testify in the dp case they could cross examine her. >> he brings up a good point, randy kessler. without a bad check conviction you can put up the preacher and next door neighbor and you name it and say does she have a good
8:47 pm
reputation? she was a wonderful girl. if she's got a bad check felony conviction, uh-uh. >> that's why they want to try it to impeach her credibility. >> wait a minute, kessler. they want to try the case because they think she did it. it's on video. so don't give the prosecution your darth vader. the reality is she's charged with it because she possibly did it. >> if they want punishment, you know, if she's got the death penalty, she'll be punished. >> we'll see about that. >> i want to go to our producer on the story. isn't it true that the defense lawyer actually went and paid back the bad checks? isn't that kind of an admission that they did it? >> right, nancy. this is also one of the reasons why he's saying that this trial should be put on hold because these debts have been satisfied.
8:48 pm
he paid $664 back to bank of america for amy's account. >> out to the lines. antoinette in missouri, hi, dear. >> caller: i love your show. my question is concerning the parents. have they called the parents to the stand? will they have to be questioned and will they question them very vigorously in regards to what they know about this entire case? i just feel like they're holding back on something. >> antoinette, you and me both. they have been holding back to protect their daughter. the answer is yes, yes, and yes. they can be called to the stand. they will be called to the stand. they will be questioned vigorously. there is no mother/daughter, father/daughter privilege. what they observe is fair game. to sheeba in illinois. >> caller: we love you, too, here in our home. >> thank you.
8:49 pm
>> caller: my question is do you think in the middle of her murder trial when it becomes real that she could become -- get the death penalty if she'll finally say i did it? yes, i did. >> to dr. janet taylor, a psychiatrist and md as well. once this becomes real to her and it's not a game anymore, do you think she'll break down and confess to avoid the death penalty? >> i really don't think so. i think what's been real to her is her ability to steal from her parents, steal from her grandmother, have no remorse and in her mind she believes that she's telling herself the truth. i don't think anything will break her down. >> to former nypd detective, welcome back, bill. what do you make of this motion by the defense to keep the bounty hunter off the stand? >> well, they want to keep as much information away from them as they possibly can. i think that what he can do is
8:50 pm
he can create an image in the jury's mind of the type of person that she really is in terms of the way she behaved when she was released, her attitude toward things things, and i think it would be very detrimental to her defense if he were to be allowed to do that. so they're going to try junior hard to try to keep him off the stand, but i don't think they will. i think he's going to be there, he's going to be testifying to the truth, to the way she behaved, which was reprehensible when she was released. and it's just going to work against her. and they'll ultimately get what they're looking for. >> to leonard padilla, the man the defense is trying their best to keep off the stand. leonard, with i want to go back in time with you. they're trying so hard to keep the jury hearing from what you observed and your people observed in your time that you were in the home. what did you observe about tot mom and her family? >> you could immediately tell within the two hours after her release that the parents were
8:51 pm
very protective of anything that might come about as a result of our contact with her, although they didn't negate our contact with her. it was a type of situation where they didn't really want her around us, which, obviously, jose had instructed everybody, hey, i don't want her to talk to anybody, including her parents. >> but were they involved -- >> -- that's not a problem. >> were they involved in trying to find caylee? what was their attitude? >> no, never. never. not the father, not the mother, not lee, not the tot mom.
8:54 pm
i know she's been taking money from my granddaughter's bank, because i'm always dropping a buck, five bucks, quarters. and one day you go in there and that bank's heavy, it's a good-sized piggy bank and you know you put money in there, there's nothing. >> out to the lines. vicky in florida. hi, vicky. >> caller: hi, nancy. i absolutely love you and your twins are beautiful. >> i'm blessed. i am blessed. and you know, they're coming up on 2 years old. i can't believe it. >> caller: you're an inspiration to me. i watch you every night. i have been dying to ask this question for months. >> okay. >> caller: with the evidence of decomposition in the car and the
8:55 pm
nanny, which i think is a bunch of bs, how and why are they not explaining how that baby got in the trunk of that car? >> you know, excellent question. it's because they don't want to touch that one with a ten-foot pole. jean casarez joining us from "in session." everybody talks about what happened in the trunk. did she have tape over her mouth, was she gagged, was she purposefully killed, but what about why she was in the trunk to start with. >> we haven't seen it yet, but the defense is doing to attack the forensic evidence. they're going to say the evidence in the trunk does not show signs of decomposition, that the forensic experts are wrong. >> so they'll have the battle of the experts. drew petrimoulx, what about it? nobody has even really discussed it, why was the child ever in the trunk to start with? >> you know, they haven't touched on that, but you have to think that what their strategy is going to be is to attack the forensics. they've already come out calling it bogus science and saying that
8:56 pm
