I hadnt thought of this case in a little while, until i saw an update in Billboard's news.

So now Im wondering, what do you think? You think he did it? Or was it suicide?

Heres all the evidence to date:

And from what i can gather, Spector is a strange character, given to being a complete nice guy that woos women 'the old fashioned way', but turns into an angry, dangerous gun-toting madman when hes drunk and a woman wants to go home.

Which makes it hard to discern what really happened.

I think at this point, i want to say he didnt do it, but given how it seems that he loses control when he's drunk and horny, he probably did.

Boy George and Naomi Campbell would disagree with that.
Spector'll probably get a few hours' community service, then. And maybe an ASBO banning him from shooting anyone in the face for the next two years.

Gary Glitter, though, is still arguing this fact:

"On 15 June 2006, the People's Supreme Court of Appeals heard Glitter's appeal for a reduced sentence in a closed hearing. The ruling by the three-judge panel was announced at around 10 am that day, with the appeal being rejected. Glitter's appeal had been scheduled to begin 19 May 2006, but was postponed for unspecified reasons. Although he remained calm throughout the 40 minute reading of the verdict, upon leaving the courthouse, he shouted angrily to reporters that there was "no justice here in Vietnam. They did not listen to the defence at all.""

I hate to indulge in idle speculation but.......of course he did it.
It's really sad that the guy who made me and millions of other people so happy could be an evil, murdering, sexist weirdo but there you go.

In Nick Kent's "The Dark Stuff" he comes across as the most unpleasant man imaginable, an utter cunt. I suspect there may be quite a few (probably ageing) people who would be delighted if he got his come-uppance.

I'm sure that's all true - I just wish it weren't. I know that's just stupid romanticism.

Teh jury deliberates....

The foreman of the jury in Phil Spector's murder trial told the judge today (Sept. 18) that the panel is at an impasse of 7 to 5, but he did not indicate which way it was leaning.

"At this time I don't believe that anything else will change the positions of the jurors," the foreman said when Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler asked if there was anything he could do to help.

Polled individually, some jurors agreed with the foreman and others disagreed. One suggested further instruction about reasonable doubt. The judge then sent the panelists back into the jury room to discuss the situation with lawyers, saying he intended to send the jurors home for the day.

The defense immediately asked for a mistrial, but the judge denied it on grounds that three jurors indicated further instructions may help.

The record producer is charged with second-degree murder, and the judge previously ruled that the panel would decide only that charge and not consider lesser charges such as manslaughter. However, Fidler told the attorneys he was reconsidering and might instruct the jury to consider a lesser charge.

Funny how things go out of date.

"Blatantly he did. Man's a nutcase. Look at the hair, FFS!"

That was my thought. Seriously, what kind of weirdo wears wigs like that when he's on trial for murder?

This strikes me as one of the most tasteful and worthwhile discussions yet undertaken.

The innocent are as guilty as the guilty only more so (OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson etc.):(

You're right of course, it's horribly insensitive of me to focus on the wigs, here is a more sensible comment from the Daily Mail

"As he faces trial - finally - on the charge of first degree murder, Phil Spector is feeling extremely anxious. But the source of the angst is not so much the possibility of being put under tremendous pressure if he takes the witness stand, or the worry that he might be imprisoned if found guilty. Rather, he fears that if he is sent down, he will not be able to wear his curled, bouffant wig.
The legendary music producer - a strutting dandy of a man who reaches just 5ft 6in in his heels - has been advised that U.S. prisons do not permit wigs or hairpieces.
And Spector, struggling with manic depression and insomnia, deeply eccentric and a virtual recluse for the past 30 years, is horrified by the thought of losing this very important part of his dignity.
It is said to be what plays on his mind the most. Even his wives and lovers have never seen him without one. (His second wife, Ronnie, says that he would sit 'for days' trying to get his hairpieces to look natural, and refused to leave the house if he couldn't get his wig just so.)"

It's abundantly clear from his music that's he's a complete misogynist and had fantasies about harming women.

It was only a matter of time...
