Do you think Phil Spector is guilty of murder?

[raccoon]

I do.

[Crabby Appleton]

1. most definitely yes nt

[madinmaryland]

2. Is that trial still going on?

or did they have a mistrial.

[raccoon]

8. Mistrial

"The Phil Spector trial verdict was announced in court today, rendering a mistrial. As the jury could not unanimously agree on a verdict, the result is the vague and murky territory of mistrial."

9. that's some damn good lawyering, then

or a really crap prosecutor.

[raccoon]

11. I can't understand what the jurors were thinking.

Maybe you had to be there...

[MrCoffee]

12. they must have thought the State screwed up

top defense lawyers are excellent at casting doubt on the State's case. that's why they're top defense lawyers.

[MrCoffee]

3. hell yes.

[KG]

4. does the ursine mammal defecate in the sylvan glade?

[raccoon]

5. Hey, I like that. It's a keeper. nt

[devilgrrl]

6. yes.

nt

[Heidi]

7. From the statements of past women in his life, yeah, probably. (nt)

[Sugar Smack]

10. Temper + batshit crazy + control "issues"

Pretty much.

[mitchum]

13. Wall of Yes

[billyskank]

14. I have no idea.

I wasn't there.

[edbermac]

15. First degree? No. Second degree? Yes.

He's got a history of getting flaky and waving guns around. I don't think he was intentional in killing her. Probably was drunk/stoned. And I don't buy his argument that she killed herself.

[hisownpetard]

16. Lemme put it this way: Any man (or woman) who could walk out of the house looking

like he does is definitely insane, for starters. Murder? Probably.
Aesthetic offenses against the homeland? Yes!!
Lock him up, Officer, before he gets another wig!!

[MissMillie]

17. I don't know anything about the case.

at all

[porphyrian]

18. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure his hair is. -n/t

[rug]

19. To know him is to love him

[Deep13]

22. to love him is to be shot by him

[rug]

23. But he's just a teddy bear.

[judaspriestess]

20. yes

[Deep13]

21. probably, but it is clear that there is no justice for crimes by famous entertainers.

I wouldn't go near any of those people. They can kill with impunity.

[raccoon]

24. Me either. If he gets off (which I think he will, but I hope he doesn't)

there will still be women who'll associate with him. Same as there are women who go out with O.J. Simpson.

Hey, if the dude's a murderer, what does it matter how much money he's got? You might be his next victim. :wtf:

[pitohui]

25. it's pretty obvious that he is

i don't understand how $$$ can buy endless delay and delay and mistrial in a case this clear cut, but obviously they do

he's been shoving guns in people's faces his entire life and finally one of them went off and killed someone, as was inevitable since he wasn't stopped from this abuse of his power a LONG time ago

yeah, i suppose this is technically manslaughter, not murder, but when somebody keeps putting himself in a situation where manslaughter has got to happen sooner or later...
