Court started again
Walgren asks if the venting cap was removed on the defense's iv on purpose to mislead shafer? Judge says that's argumentative. SWhite says he didn't do it that he's never seen it.
Walgren asks if it's easily hideable/concealable White says probably. Walgren asks if it easily fits in his fist, White says some of it still shows, but yes.
Walgren asks him if it was his theory that MJ died while drinking propofol himself? White says yes, he was speculating
Walgren asks him if he rejects that theory now, he says he doesn't reject it but the evidence in this case says otherwise.
Wangren asks again on what he based that theory. He says he's basing it on Dr. Ruffalo's report, Walgren asks him if he has the report with him, wants white to refer tpo the specific line, Whtie says he doesn't think it was a report but it was said in prelim, Walgren asks if he is talking about Ruffoalo's testimony when Flanagan asks him
him, White says probably. White says his letter was done in a hurry that he was busy during the time, that he only had two days, that iwas only based on what was mentioned then (feb) and the prelim. Walgren asks him where in his letter/report he indicates that his thoughts were only based on the prelimg that the letter was his prelim thoughts
White says I don't know I gotta look at it, sometiemes I have to refresh my memory.
Walgren hands him over the document to read.
Walgren asks him if he found where he stated in his March 8 letter, that it was prelim letter, White says yes no I didn't find it but I didn't find the letter saying he had taken it orally, Walgren quotes his letter, him says that MJ caused his death by self administrating, either injecting and or orally.
Walgren asks him if he'd done more researches before putting this in writing, other than just the piglet study.
Whtie states he did a word search on oral bio availibility of propofol, and read the autopsy.
Walgren makes White admit that there was no bio avail;ibity of propofol still he wrote it dowm that MJ ingesting propofol to blame MJ, White says that were reasonable possibility cuz he wouldn't have died by just 25mg given by murray, Walgren makes white admit that he was only looking into a way to blame MJ.
Walgren asks if he's ever come up with any theories. that doesn't include blame the victim.
Walgren asks him if he took everything murray said as the gospel, white admits hesistantly, says he's never put forward any other theory but the theories of mj selff ingesting propofol.
Asks if he was concerned that Murray ever withhold information in his interview. Flanagan objects on something while mumbling couldn't make it out, judge sustains anyway on the ground of it being vague and ambigous
Walgren makes White admit that Murray lying was a possibiliy of not mentioning the meds.
They're talking about some Ornella (lastname?) Walgren asks him what who she is, and if she's a medical doc, white says she's doing her phd in bio engineering.
Walgren asks if he asked Ornella to create his models, White says he didn't ask her that specifically, says he just asked her to do some calculations on the amounts of free lorazepam found in the stomach, Walgren asks again if he asked her that, says you just met her last week how come she did it for u, White says she just did those models over night and emailed them to him, Walgren asks if he knows which day they were created White say's he'd have to check his mails.
