George Stephanopoulos Conducts First Interview With Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson





By Catherine Taibi
November 25th, 2014

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos has conducted the very first interview with Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in August.

ABC News broke into scheduled programming Tuesday afternoon to give a brief preview of the interview. Stephanopoulos told viewers that he spent more than an hour with Wilson in a "secret location." He said Wilson told him that he is "sorry" for the death of Brown, but that he would not do "anything different" if he were to relive that day.

"He does not think he could have done anything differently," Stephanopoulos said. "He says he did what he was trained to do. He has a clean conscience over his actions that day."

The network confirmed in a press release that the rest of the interview will air Tuesday, Nov. 25, on “World News with David Muir” and “Nightline” and Wednesday, Nov. 26, on “Good Morning America."

and (for me) never watch an ABC news (or any) show again. I've all but lost what little respect for George now.

Not your average five year old. And then there's the car, the backup on the way, the gun...I can see why the poor laddie was terrified.

I imagine that person will be seeking out secret locations for a good long time, actually. Some disagree with his lack of a sense of guilt, I think.
