Was Conrad Murray’s Child Support Trial fake?

There has been much speculation over the fact that Dr. Conrad Murray had a trial for Child Support in October, but it is now January and there has been no hint of a trial for the death of Michael Jackson. Was this trial fake or are people starting to believe there is a hoax in everything?

First of all, let’s separate the facts from the rumors.

Who is suing Dr. Conrad Murray?
I have seen many people say that Murray is being sued by Nicole Alvarez, an actor who could be a relation to Alberto Alvarez, the body guard who called 911, since they share the name of Alvarez. This is not true. Nicole Alvarez is not suing Conrad Murray. She is his current girlfriend who recently had a child earlier this year with him. The person that is suing him is Nenita Malibiran, a nurse who had a child with him 10 years ago. She claims Murray owes her $13,000. Besides that, not much is known about her, and I can’t seem to find a picture of her.

Was the money he paid with real or did it feature the face of Gilda?
Some say the $700 he paid in Child Support during his trial were not legit $100 bills. That instead of featuring the face Benjamin Franklin, they featured the face of Gilda. Gilda, an old black and white film, features a man faking his death. A scene from this film was featured in This Is It during Smooth Criminal.

Here are the bills Murray paid vs. a normal $100 bill vs. Gilda:

Here they are a little better compared:

See what you want to see, and believe what you want to believe, but I don’t see any similarity between Gilda and the money. Many people out there may disagree with me, but I see the same clothes, hair, nose and mouth as in the picture of Ben Franklin, not the picture of Gilda.

Was the trial fake?
I’m not 100% sure, but I truly don’t believe that it was. Could it have been? Yes, I’ll give you that. But, what would have been the point and why a Child Support case? Just because Murray has a hand in this hoax does not mean that everything he does is related to it. Even if Michael Jackson’s death was not a hoax, Murray can have a Child Support trial even when evidence is being gathered to charge him with murder.

Update: On Monday January 4, 2010, Murray paid Nenita Malibiran $1,003, and he is due back in court in July.

Bend theories to fit facts, but don’t bend facts to fit a single theory.
