One week after Allison's passing,
I went to the San Diego Police Department homicide division
and I told them the truth about what happened.
And that I committed murder.
I explained how it was done,
how I had tricked the medical examiner's office.
However, they still chose to not believe me.
That is a direct result of them being afraid of my lawyers.
Bob Shapiro, Mark Geragos
are very well known defense attorneys.
Mark Geragos' most famous case
was Michael Jackson's molestation hearing.
Bob Shapiro's most famous case was the O.J. Simpson trial.
They knew exactly who they were dealing with,
if they had to go on court.
The wealthy get treated a bit differently
than people without money and without powerful attorneys.
I think that wealthy people can get away with anything.
So you believe that, you said that several times.
I do believe it.
What do you know about my background?
You were a forensic psychologist, is that correct?
You were a jury specialist.
I've spent a lot of my professional career
heading up the premier trial science firm in America.
And there's no question that wealthy people
can hire silk stocking lawyers,
but this theory that you have
that the authorities down there are afraid of you,
I'm sorry, that just doesn't hold water with me.
The DA down there, Summer Stephan, the chief of police,
I don't think they care how tall your wallet is
and your lawyers are friends of mine
and you know why they're lawyers that are well known?
It's 'cause they spend a lot of time in court
because police take wealthy people to task
when they break the law.
You think just 'cause you got money
you can go kill somebody?
There are billionaires in jail today
that would beg to differ with you about that.
You said that there are streets you can't go down,
places you can't go,
because the press just had a field day with you on this.
I can't find a single article
where the press has had a field day with you.
The article that I found
from your hometown was that you had confessed to police
and they didn't believe you because it wasn't consistent
with the findings, and as a result,
they weren't even gonna name you.
So where is this press field day?
Where's all this media?
Because Allison is named in all those articles.
It says here, "the husband told police in December '18
"that he killed his wife and tried to make it look
"like an accident, claims that don't appear to be supported
"by the evidence, according to the autopsy report."
"The Union Tribune is not naming the husband
"because he has not been arrested, charged,
"or accused of a crime."
How is that having a field day with you?
You know, they are, they're talking about my wife's name
in the media, my former wife.
So anyone who knows Allison, they just have
to Google her name and it will pull up
those articles, Dr. Phil. So that one statement there
that does not name you nor show your picture,
that's what you'd call being persecuted in the media?
Yes.
