Jackson judge calls attorney’s interview shocking

The Columbian
Published:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The judge overseeing the trial of the doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death has told the lead defense attorney that he found an interview done with his law partner shocking.

Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor told attorneys he watched the interview during a break with his mouth open because attorney Matt Alford is identified as a member of Murray’s defense team and criticized a key prosecution witness.

Alford, a partner of Murray’s lead defense lawyer Ed Chernoff, was interviewed outside the courthouse by “The Today Show.”

Court transcripts show prosecutors complained it violated a previous order that both sides refrain from discussing the case publicly.

Pastor ordered Alford to appear in his courtroom on Nov. 15 for a contempt hearing.
