I think Prince and Kirk had a quid pro quo arrangement. I may be taking an unpopular stance, but I feel Prince felt comfortable with Kirk in his last days. He was essentially Prince's nurse. Prince was dying and he had alot of secrets that Kirk was aware of (IMO) and he has kept quiet. Prince was taking unauthorized pain meds intermittently for years and had developed a significant tolerance. His illegal drug-taking began without Kirk. Prince's outcome falls squarely on own shoulders.

i agree with both of you. Prince lived a very messy life and Kirk came behind to clean up more than once.

Let's explore these.
- Kirk interjected himself into every aspect of Moline or Kirk was trying to do right by Prince when he was at his weakest? Prince wanted to leave right away, blamed the narcan shot instead of the pills and didn't want any tests performed. Everything that happened in Moline was leaked out so maybe getting to a local doctor they could trust wasn't such a crazy idea. And it wasn't Kirk that told Prince to go ride his bike around or head to Electric Fetus (weird how nobody looked in their direction as the source) or throw a dance party to give the illusion that everything was ok. - Again was Kirk protecting himself or Prince? The few texts and emails the cops did get were released. Imagine if they got their hands on months' or years' worth. - Are you noticing a theme? Was that Kirk's idea or Prince's? - He had been dead for hours by the time they found him. There may be truth to the idea that they dressed Prince afterwards or cleaned him up but, considering that the police also posted photos/videos of his body, I'm really glad that we didn't have to see a Chris Farley style crime scene photo of the tragedy. - PRINCE, repaid Kirk's loyalty by giving him all these things. So why would Kirk conspire to knowingly or unknowingly murder Prince? What's the scheme between Kirk and Phaedra where it makes sense to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs? Why would Kirk do all the things I listed if he was the one supplying Prince with the pills? Why would he try to get Larry Graham to talk to Prince after the overdose if he wanted Prince dead? Why would he contact Kornfield? Why would he knowingly leave Prince alone with tainted pills that he supplied? Van Jones, between the rehearsed lines of outting all of Prince's Christian work that he didn't want made public, mentioned that they should've done more. There's a good chance that Van feels guilty for taking Prince at his word on this subject. That the ups and downs everybody talked about and saw were normal. | |

Prince was an adult. He could make decisions for himself. | |

Electric Fetus was looked at on this forum...several times.

We know it's illegal. It was also illegal for black men to sit at the front of the bus. Or gay people to make love with one another. It's still illegal for adults to have consensual sex with one another if $ is involved or for people to smoke a plant. So not sure what your point is about the law. | |

. `His ethics were not so nice` at the crimescene does not sound so nice.

And I do think that Kirk is hiding something. Do we have same type of material for the other assistant? (the female driver) Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I think Kirk was the only person allowed to see Prince, warts and all. IMO, Prince wanted many of his secrets kept from public view, so yes, Kirk is likely hiding quite a bit. Prince did not trust his friends/fans with knowledge of his addiction or his likely illness. Kirk was aware of Prince's addiction, knew he was in withdrawal, likely cleaned and redressed him after death (this is my opinion), accompanied him to MD visits etc. These are acts that many of our spouses or adult children would undertake for us. Prince did not have that person. Kirk was that person. He was likely overwhelmed when Prince died and knew he had to do damage control. This was to protect Prince (IMO)
Yes, Prince, was generous with him financially but I feel Kirk did more than enough to compensate. I feel this is why he is welcomed at Paisley. I think Prince's family and inner circle are very aware of all that went down. We fans have been trying to put 2 and 2 together but I bet we know very little of the real goings on. Personally, I would really like it if we could see things less in black and white, good guy v bad guy. Prince chose Kirk to be with him in those final days, to see him at his worst and I really wish we could leave him alone.

So much of this can be proven without Kirk uttering a single word. | |

2 questions, if I may:
-Does the Defense have access to Kirk's deposition? (The one where he likely answers questions)
-Why would he be deposed again?

I think kirk just wants to avoid being incriminated? he's not trying to protect prince's privacy | |

ISLIJAG stated in few posts ago, this is a civil suit, not criminal.

all i've really heard about kirk, that is convincing to me, is that he's not too bright, and I think that went for his character too, not a strong person. How much blame are you gonna place on a dummie that just does what he's told? What happened to prince is more a syndrome that many famous people go through, they get catered to and yessed to and they lose their ways. also, for whatever reason, most of these guys seem to have a self-destructive streak, Elvis, MJ and Prince. | |

No one can dispute that... Prince IS responsible for his own action.... I find is laughable that people hide behind Prince's privacy.....that was LONG blown out of the water the day the DA released the investigation reports. How much did you really want to know? You sadly saw his dead body that no fan wanted to see (which supersedes ANYTHING that Kirk could possibly hide or say to keep private), you found out that the man had ALLOT of enemas in his house (more than we need to know about) ALL the medications and I mean ALL he had at the time of his death, anything that was private in his home was made public record...so explain to me what KJ that could possibly divulge that would be shocking? I want to reiterate, I don't feel he knew was addicted...BUT he was not being completely truthful when interviewed. Please go back and read the reports from Moline and 4/21... What Kirk knew which was something...explain shredded documents and deleted emails? You can't. [Edited 8/12/19 15:25pm] | |

I agree with your POV. But where did the drugs come from? How did it slip by his security and KJ? People say Prince is gone and not coming back, so what's to be so private about? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
KJ did not kill Prince, he was not in on killing Prince. Prince OD on his own....twice. KJ was an enabler of Prince's addiction, I think Prince did NOT want to die, he was preparing his memoirs, more touring, making PP a museum, working with other artists, etc... So if he didn't get the laced pills from the pharmacy, they came from the outside. WHY did Meron and KJ shred documents after the police cleared the scence at PP? WHY and WHO access Prince's laptop to delete emails/files AFTER Prince died? Now tell me, does that not all see at all strange? | |

his privacy? a lot of it was but there is still a lot of secrecy, limited amount of info on the autopsy and plenty of people won't say a lot of things that they either knew or spoke about with prince. I still don't get the point of showing my boy taking his final nap and not telling us other things, that's about as disrespectful as it gets. | |

All good points....but why didn't Meron, Phadera, KJ want to talk on 4/21? | |

I agree what you've said... but knowing how meticolous was about his dress and appreance, do you think he would put his clothes on backwards and walk around? My guess since it was the same clothes from the day before, Prince in sound body and mind got dressed that dayand went out in public with his clothes on the right way. | |

EXACTLY! We all knew Prince was a private person, we get that... but anything as private as a man's death...was Prince's and no one else was put out there for the world to see. So let's take KJ out of this (i do really believe he cared for Prince's well being) hypothetical it's revealed that Prince had someone coordinate and get him pills and he died because of it. Police find the person and was revealed this has been ongoing for years, he's arrested and sent to jail. Prince fans feel vindicated and are rejoicing that there's justice for Prince! It still will never changed how he died and what from. Is anyone here less off a fan of Prince because how he died? I am not. When anyone IMO pleads the 5th (and it's there right to do so) they are automatically deemed guilty. KJ was/is Prince's friend, would he want to know what happened and who is responsible? He came off VERY arrogant when he was interviewd about not talking about what happened. Everyone says Prince would not want this, he would want that...truth be told no one on this org knew Prince, I know I didn't. But if one question could be asked of Prince now,"would you want anyone to go through what you did and the path you did it by?" My guess is he would say no... Opiods are ruining peoples lives...the person who gave "our" Prince a fatal dose is still out there... I am just disappointed in those who were closest to him, appear not to feel the same and it's just sad... | |

My guess is that it was the same clothes that were inside out to begin with when he put them on that day. Same hat too, because he didn't feel like doing his hair either.
