Greetings.
Walgren mentions Murray's timeline:
What facts is he basing these 3 alternatives from? I am somewhat confused on how it can three different scenarios?
Somehow, the quote made me laugh, but in reality its an extremly sad quote...
Thanks

In my opinion these are the facts for the 3 alternatives given by Walgren:
1- "He let MJ lie there for over an hour not breathing". FACTS: MJ was till on the bed when paramedics were called at 12:21. Murray declared to the police on 27June that he had found him not breathing at around 11 am, so that makes over an hour if we took that time as the real one.
2- "Murray could be lying". FACTS: Murray had previously told detectives at the hospital that he had found him not breathing at around 12 noon. (AR p 2). At the preliminary hearing we also learnt that at 11:51 Murray was on the phone with one of his girlfriends and that she heard some commotion and Murray stopped abruptly the conversation though did not hung up (she could still hear less audible noises as if the phone was in Murray's pocket). Moreover, we have the paramedics testimony that MJ had already gone by the time they arrived (12:26) between 20 minutes and 1 hour earlier.
- So we can infer that Murray was lying when he said it was at 11 (and not at 12) when he observed MJ was not breathing. Why did he lie?? Maybe to stick to the 10:40 alleged final dose given by him?? In my opinion it's likely. Murray has changed his statements several times (through his lawers and his new witnesses) BUT, they still CLING to "his 10:40 alleged final dose" so as to give room to their theory that he was not the one who gave the lethal dose, that it would have been very close in time to the moment of the tragedy. (Chernoff even said in the preliminary, "my client could not have been, because he was on the phone"!!! :no

.
3- "He has no idea
what he gave him or
when". FACTS: He also lied in too many other things (amounts of lorazepam and times allegedly given for example...) that could easily be demonstrated.
Personally I think alternative 2 is the most likely. Murray lied ON PURPOSE, it wasn't just a mistake as his lawyers said last year. He lied when he said he gave only 25mg of propofol, he knew they would detect higher levels in the AR but his strategy from the 27 June 2009 was to blame the victim or someone else. He also lied about the time he realised the tragedy in order to stick to the around 10:40 "last dose by Murray given only by syringe of 10cc, never never never used a drip"!!!:no: less in conflict with his busy activity on the phone or the lack of long tubing found attached to the medical evidence he attempted to hide (the opened 100ml propofol vial upside down inside an intravenous bag with a slit).
Let's hope justice is being done:yes: and DA shows all Murray's inconsistencies and his guilt is COMPLETELY proven, not leaving any minor aspect aside at all!!
