I sucked at summaries and hope someone much better than me is watching this interview.
-The interviewer asked Walgren about the harsh words the judge had about Murray.
Walgreen said that he thought the judge was very fair and was summaries what the evident and what the jury had concluded through the trial.
-Was asked about why they didn't go for Murder 2.
Said that they looked at all charges, Murder 2 being one of them, and based on the evidences and what they knew, thought that IVM was the best charge. Said it wasn't an easy decision, especially with outside interest and it took months to decide on the charge.
-To Brazel, was Murray a danger to society?
Yes, because he abused his power as a doctor and was a risk to other people because of his lack of remorsed.
-When did he get the case?
A couple months after June 25.
-Did he think the investigation could had gone better and were mistakes made?
Don't feel comfortable criticizing the corona and mistakes are always made in all investigations. Says he had never been given a perfect case and everyone did the best they could to find the truth and the overall investigation was done well to convict Murray.
-What did Mrs. Jackson say to the probation officer?
Pretty much what was said during the trial and how hurt the entire family was by Michael dying and Murray lying about comforting them.
-Was the fact this was about Michael Jackson's effect his performance?
He tried to disengaged himself and treated it like any IVM case, but was fully aware of Michael's star power.
-Did Michael's past (addiction and trial) caused in challenges?
Yes, but they did everything they could to get that kind of information out of the trial, since it had nothing to do with his death. Said they had to do allot of weeding out during the pre-trial and find the right jury that wouldn't be bias one way or another. Was happy to hear that one of the jury said that Michael's addiction didn't matter.
-What did Brazel thought of Murray's girlfriend and her 'instrument' answer?
She thought she heard her wrong, which is why she had that reaction. Also knew she had an agenda and everyone knew her relationship with Murray.
-What did you think of the recording?
He thought it was sad and disturbing. Disturbing that Murray would record his patient in that state and keep it on his phone. Says it was an app that had to be pressed to activate. He also agree with the judge that Murray didn't have good intentions with that recording and can see how it happened by accident.
-How they shot up to stardom during the trial?
How they got letters from all over the world from fans saying thanks and getting used to planes flying over their heads with banners during the trial. Comment on how fans were there to greet them during the early morning hours and their continuing presence throughout the process. It was very unique to have the fans support and have them cheering for them on some days.
-Did he considered putting Michael's kids on the stand?
Try to avoid putting them on the stand after everything they went through. He say no benefit to have them.
-Why did you show the autopsy pictures?
This was a homicide, so it was standard. They also wanted to counter any argument that the defense could bring that Michael was ill and on his death bed. They also wanted to show Michael wasn't frail, thin and was actually very healthy per the corona.
-Murray's statement, did you believe any of it?
His statement was important because they had no real source of what happened. Piece together a time line based on the evidence and phone record. The statement gave them a time line to work with. Said Murray was truthful about given propofol for two months for sleeping, but the particular events of June 25 are vague. Thinks he mostly lied in his events and said he was gone out of the room for far longer than stated in the interview.
-Did he actually tried to wean Michael off of propofol for two days before his death?
Don't know. Murray knows what happened and could had frame to story to matched the facts as they exist, talking about the two good rehearsal. But, given all the drugs given and ordered, seemed unlikely he was weaning. But, only Murray and Michael really knows what happened.
-Expert witnesses. Did they defense had a chance of finding an expert that agree with them?
Spoke to many expert from several different fields. All of them said Murray was wrong. No one said it was right, even the defense's expert.
-Murray testifying?
So many errors in his statements that he wanted to asked allot of questions. One question, however, was there any near missed before June 25. Also, how could Murray as a doctor be so reckless with someone's else life.
-About Murray not feeling sorry because he did nothing wrong.
Knew that was going in his sentencing argument. Was shocked by the statement that Murray felt he did nothing wrong and had no remorse.
I may of missed some question since I was writing this on the fly and he was much more detail than what I wrote.
