Article Voiced What Family Hopes to ‘Shout to World’

MGM and QRZ Media took the film of my dead brother, Michael Marich, and the audio-recorded phone call between an LAPD officer and my parents informing them of their son’s death, and “sold tickets.”

I am glad that my parents didn’t settle with MGM. Often there is a settlement clause that places plaintiffs under a “gag order” to avoid negative press for the defendants. One of the blessings from all of this is that now MGM can’t shut us up.

Thank you, Howard Rosenberg, for your article. You said what my family and I want to shout to the world.

My parents made “one mistake” on Oct. 20, 1996. They answered their phone.

Citizens, take heed; God forbid someone ever calls you with the worst news a parent can hear. Before you follow your natural impulse to cry or wail or ask, “What happened?,” you may want to ask, “Are you wired for sound?”
