Michael Jackson ‘911’ tape reportedly released
The UK Sun has released a recording it claims is of emergency workers calling ahead to a hospital for Michael Jackson.

If legitimate, the recording could be used as evidence against Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray. Murray is accused in Jackson’s June 25 death.
In the recording, a man voice believed to be that of an Los Angeles Fire Department medical worker says: “Patient is Michael Jackson, the pop star singer. No pulse, no breathing. Unresponsive. Tried to resuscitate him. Unsuccessful,” the Sun reports. “We’ve done everything we can. We should be there in five minutes. It doesn’t look good. It doesn’t look good.”
A fire department spokesperson didn’t deny the recording was real, according to the New York Post. “I couldn’t confirm that is one of our workers. It could be. They refer to ‘pop star Michael Jackson’ but it is not our practice to name names,” the source said.

Johnny Depp pleads for the lives of convicted satanic killers
Add advocate to the Mad Hatter’s bag of tricks.
On the episode of CBS’s ‘48 Hours Mystery’ set to air 10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, Johnny Depp pleads the case of three men he and many others believe were wrongly convicted of killing three 8-year-old boys during a satanic ritual in 1994.
“I firmly believe Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley are totally innocent,” the “Alice in Wonderland” star says in a clip from the show. “There was a need for swift justice to placate the frightened community.”
Echols is on death row for the gruesome murders in West Memphis, Ark. The other two received life sentences.
The trio have been the subject of two HBO documentaries - ‘Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills’ and ‘Paradise Lost 2: Revelations’ - that presents evidence pointing to their innocence.
Depp says the case should be reopened, noting that the trial focused too much on the then teenagers’ fixation with heavy metal music and Stephen King books.
Depp is not the only famous person who thinks the three were wrongly convicted. Their supporters also include Henry Rollins, Winona Ryder, Eddie Vedder and the Dixie Chicks.
