I think murray's interview is damning but feel the detectives were really incompetent, they could have nailed murray but didn't and have given him loopholes.
They seemed to accept that murray spent 12 HOURS watching mj trying to get to sleep, broken by short periods of adminstering various drugs. There was no attempt to pin him down. No questions of where he was sitting? was he sitting there the whole 12 hours with his eyes on mj, if not what was he doing? How did he go to the bathroom? What did monitoring mj entail, details of this and how often? What was mj doing when he couldn't sleep? etc etc Now that we have the phone records, they're not directly contradicted by murray in his interview as detectives didn't ask if he used his phone (they knew he had one), maybe chernoff can argue you can multi-task when monitoring someone on lazapam. Also the defence can now claim that mj was up and about popping pills as the detectives never asked what mj was doing for those 12 hours.
Also the detectives screwed up the timeline at the end of that 12 hour period (apologies if this already discussed, just skimmed thread). They got to 10.40-50ish when the propofol was given and then the next time was the 12.22 911 call, and nothing in between was timed. If murray waited 15 mins for prop to wear off before going off for his 2 min break, he would find mj not breathing around 11.10ish. But murrays description of his cpr etc efforts don't seem to have lasted over an hour. So it's more likely murray waited by mj alot longer after the prop injection and went to the bathroom shortly before 12. But this was never cleared up by the detectives and with all those potentially damning phonecalls in that period it allows murray leeway with his story which is annoying.
I realise it might not have looked like a murder investigation at this time, but the most famous person in the world had just died at 50 with no known illness. It was surely high-profile. And could they have found a noisier room to interview in?
When Murray was interviewed the 'cause of death' wasn't known so they couldn't ask pertinent questions. However they have tied Murray in with answers which are blatantly untrue and so have proved already he lies. We just need to wait for the prosecution to bring up the relevant points to catch him out in his lies.
