Officials taking the fight against
Hollywood gridlock underground
BY JEFF HERNANDEZ
SPECIAL TO THE INDEPENDENT
Angelenos may finally have
something to look forward to
in the ongoing battle against
gridlock, as the Metropolitan
Transportation Agency rushes to
secure the federal funds necessary to build a subway traveling
through West Hollywood into
Westwood or Santa Monica.
With nearly 300,000 people
traveling into the Westside every
day throughout the region, Metro
looks to build the Westside Subway Extension that will travel
underground along the Wilshire
Boulevard corridor. However,
Metro is currently considering
five possible extension alternatives.
At a community meeting held
last month, MTA presented the
30/10 initiative with the goal to
fund and build Measure R projects in a decade instead of 30
years, as previously planned.
Metro is ambitiously seeking accelerated funding from the federal government and looking into
public-private partnership funding options.
“Politically, it has gone from
a longshot to something that is
gaining traction with federal legislators and federal officials. The
key to accomplishing the 30/10
plan is leveraging local dollars
with federal dollars,” said West
Hollywood Councilwoman Lindsey Horvath. “The current L.A.
Mayor has been a great advocate
for mass transit and has done a
good job moving 30/10 forward.
However, he is in his final term
and whoever comes after him
will have to continue to fight for
federal support at every level.”
In 2008, voter-approved Measure R was tailored to raise an
estimated $40 billion over the
next 30 years to help with dozens
of public transportation, highway
and traffic reduction projects.
MTA will use the revenue to
accelerate other projects that are
also in the works, such as the
Gold Line Foothill extension, the
Green Line to Los Angeles International Airport, a north-south
San Fernando Valley line and the
downtown L.A. regional connector. These have the potential to

clinic worker shot
to death on the job
FROM CITY NEWS SERVICE
County coroners have released
the name of a marijuana dispensary worker killed at his job, but
are not yet ready to determine if
that killing was related to a murder at another marijuana dispensary on the same day.
Ila Ali Packman, a 39-year-old
Hollywood resident, was the person found dead June 24 inside a
shop called Hollywood Holistic,
on El Centro Avenue near Sunset
Boulevard, Coroner’s Investigator Joyce Kato said.
Packman’s boss discovered the
body of his employee, who was
either stabbed, shot, or killed by a
combination of attacks inside the
cooperative, said LAPD Deputy
Chief David Doan.
That grisly discovery came
just five hours after, and five
miles away from, the murder of
a security guard at Higher Path
Holistic, a marijuana outlet on
Sunset near Dodger Stadium in
Echo Park. Matthew Butcher, a
27-year-old Los Angeles resident
who was working as a security
guard, was found dead there.
Although information about
the Hollywood killing was scant,
police have said the Echo Park
murder was committed when
four armed men robbed the dispensary.

One year later, seeking
justice for their king
The tragedy of Michael
Jackson’s death still
resonates among his
most devoted fans,
as the doctor named
in his death faces an
explosive trial this fall.
BY OLU ALEMORU
STAFF WRITER
One year ago, Taaj Malik’s
world collapsed with the news of
Michael Jackson’s sudden death.
But people often find strength
in tragedy, and now the Pakistaniborn Malik is on a crusade to uncover what she considers hidden
truths about Jackson’s passing
last June 25. It is a quest, she
says, that is inspired by a desire
to bring “justice to his death.”
A lifelong Jackson fan,
Malik, 50, is not affiliated
with any particular organization.
But with nine group pages on
her Facebook profile — boasting over 27,000 members
— she has become something
of a clearinghouse for devotees
of the King of Pop, who voraciously read her virtually
round-the-clock posts about their
idol.
“I mostly follow the conspiracy theories,” said Malik,
who moved from London two
years ago and now resides in
Santa Ana, where she operates
a housekeeping business. In
conversation, she lets those
is still hospitalized in critical
condition, Doan said. That man’s
name was not released.
Doan said surveillance videotapes were missing from both
locations.
“Because we’re not clear on
the facts of the second murder,
we’re not prepared to say that
these are not linked; and we’re
also not prepared to say that they
are linked,” Doan said Friday.
“Until we get some additional
information on that second murder, we have more work to do to
determine whether or not these
two locations have any linkage
as it relates to these crimes.”
Doan said both marijuana dispensaries handled large amounts
of cash. Neither facility had been
issued a zoning-related ceaseand-desist order by the city, Doan
said, because both had registered
before the moratorium on new
dispensaries.
Close to 50 people held a candlelight vigil for Butcher Friday
evening outside the Higher Path
clinic on Sunset. Butcher’s mother, local labor leader and political
activist Julie Butcher, told reporters she was devastated.
“He was a peaceful boy,” she
said. “He would have given a
robber anything that they wanted.
He would never have resisted.
There was no reason for him to
be killed over marijuana or money. It’s absolutely senseless.”
theories fly — an often-convoluted jumble that involves,
alternately, everyone from the
purchasers of Jackson’s fabled
Neverland Ranch to record companies and Saudi royalty.
“There are lots of people I can
point the finger at,” she said, “but
I have no proof.”
Where many do see proof
of wrongdoing is in the case of
Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who was charged in February with manslaughter by Los
Angeles County prosecutors.
The doctor was with Jackson at

but no one else was injured in the
shooting or crash, police said.
Suarez was taken to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center where he was pronounced
dead at 3:26 p.m., police said.
Authorities were looking for
the shooting suspect, who was
said to be in a four-door, dark
gray or green sedan, a Los Angeles police sergeant said today.
Two police officers responding
to the shooting crashed their patrol car with several vehicles at
Santa Monica and Van Ness Avenue, several blocks west of the
shooting, police said.
The officers in the crash were
taken to a hospital. Their injuries
were not life threatening, an officer with LAPD’s Media Relations said.

A pair of very small earthquakes, 21 seconds apart, rattled
the Hollywood Hills on Sunday.
Automated seismographs operated by the USGS and local
universities registered magnitude
1.6 and 1.7 quakes as they rattled
the Mt. Lee area, flanking the
Hollywood sign, at 8:36 a.m.
The epicenters were 2 miles
south-southeast, and then 2 miles
south-southwest, of downtown
Burbank, the USGS said.
Los Angeles police said there
were no phone calls reporting the
quake to them.

told.”
Times are tough for Hollywood in general. With the country firmly entrenched in a recession, gone are the days when
studio executives were eager to
take a multimillion-dollar chance
on projects that may or may not
find an audience.
Even filmmakers such as Melvin Van Peebles, John Singleton
and Spike Lee who have found
success via independent vehicles
don’t have free financial reign.
Acham, who teaches courses
on Black film, television and pop
culture, said that in such a tough
marketplace, the road is even
tougher for minority filmmakers.
Larry King, one of the most famous interviewers on television,
announced Tuesday he will end
his nightly CNN talk show this
fall, “giving me more time for
my wife and I to get to the kids’
little league games.”
King has been hosting “Larry
King Live” for 25 years. In a
statement that will air on his
show tonight but was posted online, King said he plans to stay
with CNN to host specials on national and international issues.
“Twenty-five years ago I sat
across this table from New York
Governor Mario Cuomo for the
first broadcast of ‘Larry King
Live,”’ King said. “Now, decades later, I talked the guys here
at CNN and I told them I would
like to end ‘Larry King Live,’ the
nightly show, this fall and CNN
has graciously accepted, giving
me more time for my wife and
I to get to the kids’ little league
games.
“I’ll still be part of the CNN
family, hosting several Larry
King specials on major national
and international subjects,” he
said. “I’m incredibly proud that
we recently made the ‘Guinness
Book of World Records’ for having the longest-running show
with the same host in the same
time slot. With this chapter closing, I’m looking forward to the
future and what my next chapter
will bring, but for now, it’s time
to hang up my nightly suspenders.”
King, 76, made headlines earlier this year when he and his wife,
Shawn, filed for divorce. But the
couple have apparently since
reconciled. King has been married eight times to seven women.
He and his current wife have two
sons, aged 11 and 10.
The professor said that with
studios scaling back on the number of films they make and focusing on less risky ventures such as
sequels, those going the independent route have to be creative.
That includes working the film
festival circuit, Acham said.
“Film festivals allow the filmmaker to get their work out
there,” she said. “Obviously, with
the rise of Sundance, people are
taking a closer look at festivals,
and for the independents, many
are looking beyond Sundance
perhaps because it has gotten so
large.”
One such event is the American Black Film Festival, which
launched its 14th annual edition
last week in Miami, Florida.
Festival founder Jeff Friday
said venues such as his are an
integral part of the networking
needed to launch the next successful filmmaker. “When you
look at the independent filmmaker in general, it’s a struggling population because you are
making a product outside of the
resources of the mainstream, and
once you make it, you are competing with films from major studios,” he said. “What we try to
do is give the independent filmmaker an avenue to meet with
the powers that be in Hollywood,
with the hope that by exposing
the Hollywood power brokers to
the subset of independent film-
makers we will open doors.”
Such opportunities have been
helpful for longtime attendees
of the American Black Film Festival such as Lee Daniels, who
was nominated for an Academy
Award for directing the critically
acclaimed film “Precious.”
“The world is having a very
difficult time of it and that affects
everything, including our art,”
said Daniels, who first came to
fame as producer of “Monster’s
Ball,” an independent film whose
star Halle Berry became the first
African-American to win an
Academy Award for best actress.
Daniels is being feted at this
year’s festival.
And this festival is not the only
game in town. The website Withoutabox.com bills itself as “the
world’s largest independent film
community” and offers informa-
tion on more than 5,000 film festivals across the world.
Acham said the internet is
making it possible for filmmakers from just about any continent
to share their work with the world
with just the click of an upload.
So the next Spike Lee or Robert
Townsend could just as easily be
a writer or director from Africa,
Europe or the Middle East.
Screenwriter Rhonda Baraka
said that despite the tough times
independents face, the landscape
is also rich with the opportunity
for creativity and to break into
the mainstream.
“I think movies appeal to people during tough times,” she said.
“By the same token, I think it appeals to us in the industry because
we can create those other worlds
for people to escape into.”

After a year, Jackson fans still struggling with his death
JACKSON FROM PAGE 1
Reports had Murray finding
the singer in bed, not breathing, but with a pulse. He administered CPR without success
and Jackson was pronounced
dead after he arrived at the nearby Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
In the days after the shocking event, media stories were
rife with speculation about —
and criticism of — the doctor’s
actions, suggesting he didn’t
tell paramedics what he gave
to Jackson, refused to sign a
death certificate, which would
have locked down the location
as a crime scene and disappeared
for two days.
Murray, who pleaded not
guilty, was released after posting $75,000 bail; shortly after,
the California Medical Board
issued an order preventing
him from administering heavy
sedatives. It has been reported
that the 56-year-old Murray,
who first met Jackson in Las
Vegas, joined the singer’s camp
in May 2009 as part of the
agreement with AEG Live,

marathon at London’s 02 Arena.
There was also speculation that when Murray went
to work for Jackson at a salary of $150,000 a month — reportedly paid by AEG — the
physician was facing debts of
nearly $435,000. Murray is
now awaiting trial, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for
Aug. 23.
Last week Jackson fan Caleb
Davis, 52, who recently moved
to L.A. after spending the past 20
years in Berkeley, turned up early
in the morning hoping to get into
the public gallery for a hearing
on the status of Murray’s medical
license. A judge ruled last week
that Murray can continue to practice medicine in California.
“I think Michael was the greatest entertainer that ever lived and
I blame Murray for his death,”
said Davis. “Last year I was at
work in a medical facility when I
came back from lunch and someone said Michael died. But we had
a colleague called Michael and
I thought they were referring
to him … until I realized who it
was, and I couldn’t believe it.”
That sentiment goes double
for Malik. “I’ve just thrown
myself into working for justice
from fans, it’s little wonder that
Jackson’s death has brought
unimaginable riches to the late
entertainer’s estate, which is
overseen by co-executors John
Branca and John McClain.
According to a story published last week in Billboard
magazine, in the 12 months
since Jackson’s death, the estate has generated deals worth
$783 million. Incredibly, that
figure does not include earnings
from the ultra-lucrative licensing and branding of Jackson’s
image, from which megastars
can command between 70 and
90 percent of the profits.
What the millions do account
for are CD sales, the box office
and DVD sales from the documentary “This Is It,” key parts
of Jackson’s publishing empire
and a new Sony deal that funnels
money to the estate for years’
worth of future releases and projects.
