Michael Jackson Love Letter to Lisa Marie Presley Removed From Auction at Her Request

"Lisa I truly need this rest I haven't slept litterally (sic) in 4 days now," the hand-written note reads, as pictured here on TMZ. "I need to be away from phones and business people. I must take care of my health first. I'm crazy for you. Love, Turd." MJ continued in childlike handwriting, reportedly penned between 1993 and 1996.
The auctioneers have removed the telling letter after a call from Lisa Marie, who was married to Jackson from '94 - '96, during his infamous child molestation trial. "I'm assuming it's [of] a personal nature, and we wanted to honor the request and continue our good relationship with Ms. Presley," auction house owner Darren Julien told TMZ of the request to yank the letter. The "good relationship" includes the sale of Elvis Presley's original tomb next month (June).

"...who was married to Jackson from '94 - '96, during his infamous child molestation trial."
1. Michael Jackson was never prosecuted in 1993 (in fact, three separate grand juries refused to bring charges, as the case was extremely weak). So there was no trial. He was sued for negligence in 1994 -- BIG difference.
2. Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson AFTER the civil suit against him was settled. Not "during."
And on another note, Michael Jackson did not "overdose" on propofol. As Dr. Steven Shafer explained on the witness stand, during the Conrad Murray trial . . . Michael Jackson's airway became blocked while he was under anesthesia, and because there was no one monitoring him, to lift his chin to clear his airway . . . he went into respiratory failure, leading to a cardiac arrest. Airway blockage can happen with an insanely small amount of anesthesia, or a large amount. The propofol is irrelevant, to be honest. Jackson died because of negligence. Please revise.
Ummmmm? Am I the only one who notices the box with "smell here" next to it??? WHAT is that?!?!

NOW FREE DR CONRAD MURRAY!!!!!!!! YOU ALL KNOW MICHAEL HAD THIS PROBLEM LONG AGO AND BEGGED ... PLEADED AND MOST LIKELY TOOK HIS OWN OVERDOSE OF THE MEDS THAT KILLED HIM.. DR CONRAD MURRAY IS AN INNOCENT MAN WOULD NEVER EVER HURT ANYONE!!!!!!
May 31 2012 at 4:30 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThe trial has already happened, what you've stated happened was impossible, it was physically impossible for anyone other than Murray to have administered the dose and what actually happened was he left a faulty drip working on Michael overnight, left the room to call his strippers, the drip overdosed Michael, and when Murray returned MJ was already dead.

You need to sit down and have a seat..... He's no more innocent than Michhael himself.....Only difference is that M.J. was using the drugs and Conrad was the , Distributor!!! He could have stepped down from that position a long time ago if he didn't like what was going on in that Mansion....So pls give me a break along with everyone else and save that drama for your, MAMA.....For the love of, MONEY; Now looks what happens when you get to the end of the, ROAD....You cry, I'M LOST AND ALL ALONE!! lol....Silly Nut

"turd"? where's that come from?
May 31 2012 at 3:00 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyHis friends and family had nicknames for Michael like Applehead and Doodoohead since forever, so Lisa Marie probably started calling him Turd as a joke as a play on that.

Don't see anything remotely 'creepy' about this note. Actually, reveals the warmth between the two. And one other thing, recall the trial just a few months ago? The one where Murray was tried, convicted and sentenced for his incompetent and reckless care of his ONE patient? The one that Judge Pastor called 'medical experimentation?' Your OD reference intimates that Jackson's death was self-induced...it was not. Puzzling why Murray is consistently ignored and never mentioned as the person responsible for that death.
