innocent phone call about a spider-man comic book. we would like call mike in the first trial, the jurors had bought his account of speaking to the shop owner over the phone, apparently just minutes before the murder. the judge, however, had seemed skeptical. but now, 12 new people would be deciding the case. so, prosecution and defense lawyers had to start afresh with the all important star witness. the stakes couldn t be higher. michael without him, you had a case? he s the only one who posted an event at the scene, he s the only one that alone can destroy the defendants alibi. without him, we don t issue a warrant. defense lawyers knew their clients freedom depended both on their challenging renaud story, and reinforcing the defendants alibi. it s a witness on the prosecution side. what we had to focus on, and what we hoped to direct the jury to focus on, was specifically that alibi. the defendant s 1990 story
owned. he called because he was excited that some book had jumped from $8 to $40. did you contact anyone to discuss? the reasons for it going up in value? yeah, i called mike. he knew the voice, he knew the time that he would be there, and that s the whole case. tell me about the demeanor of michael jordan that phone call. he answers were very short. it seemed to be in a hurry to get off the phone. you might wonder, esther many people did, if michael george was lying in wait to murder his wife in just moments. why would he be so dumb as to pick up a ringing phone in the store. he picks it up, for one of two reasons. either as a businessman, it s a coal in his one a lose business. or number two, it is accomplice from the outside. letting him know what s going on. couldn t investigator simply pulled the phone logs and verify his story, by seeing what time the records show the call coming in? not in 1990.
speak to people one on one. so that has always been hard, but if you are from a blue state, you don t see it coming and all of a sudden you are in a new district. what i will say is that i bet, i would be surprised if president biden doesn t call mike and to welcome him into the house of representatives, which is very biden like, but he is going to have to do that for me you will have to build relationships with that. it s his style to do it anyway, but those conversations actually start today and right now. i’m conversations actually start today and right nova- conversations actually start today and right now. i m sure they have sotted and right now. i m sure they have spotted that and right now. i m sure they have spotted that in and right now. i m sure they have spotted that in the and right now. i m sure they have spotted that in the white - and right now. i m sure they have spotted that in the white house. | and right now. i m sure they have i spotted that in the white ho
