e-mails from aeg basically telling murray you better get him to rehearsals. so i think this issue is well founded by the siblings and i think it s going to be a big issue for the plaintiffs. and i think aeg will have a tough time explaining it. aeg s lawyer said it was the 2005 child molestation trial which you obviously were involved in which caused michael to dramatically increase his drug use. do you think there s any truth in that? i really don t. now, i was his lead criminal defense counsel in that trial. i talked to him throughout the trial. he was lucid he was articulate, he was cooperative. i never had a problem working with michael. my co-counsel both thought he was one of the nicest clients we ever represented. and i did not see drug use as a problem during the trial. now, the verdict day, he didn t look well, i will say that. he had been through over five months of trial, all the stress and strain, we were in court five days a week, and i do think that he suffered physic
at least prince is scheduled to testify. it is going to get ugly. i think the judge ruled recently that aeg can bring up the child molestation trial. i don t think she s ruled that they can talk about the finances at the time of his death. he was $400 million in debt when he died. he had a tremendous amount of stress put on him. was it is by aeg or was it by his own circumstances in life, that s what they re going to have to decide. yeah, it could get really ugly. debra anytime children go ahead. anytime children testify, it s uncomfortable and i don t sympathize with them if they do have to testify. i hope they don t. debra, do you think there s going to be any regret when you are getting the kids involved in this, talking about the molestation charges? it s the goal of any litigation attorney representing the family who has children, you don t want them to testify. it s the goal in aeg in this instance to put everybody on the stand. i personally don t think the two

and then from december when they finally admitted that, oh, we did know something about it, but this has to go to congress. it has to be a full vote. if it is a full vote, then it s going to go to the attorney for the district of columbia, who is hired by none other than eric holder. there you go. comes full circle. a deal has to be worked out by next week. otherwise it goes to that full vote. okay. thoroughly confused? it s a tough story to digest. in one word you can pretty much sum it up politics. pretty much. the police chief of sanford, florida from trayvon martin was killed has been fired. bill lee submitted his resignation back in march. he was put on administrative leave. but city leaders have apparently now decided that lee lost the confidence of the community. closing arguments in the jerry sandusky child molestation trial will begin this morning and deliberations could start by the afternoon. the jury must decide on all 51 charges without hearing from the
