The Phil Spector Trial: We Watch Court TV So You Don’t Have To

9/21/07, 8:38 am EST


WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY?
Deliberations, that’s what happened. Granted, there were only forty minutes of deliberations, but after forty-eight hours of being at a standstill, the jury finally reconvened to try to arrive at a unanimous verdict in the Phil Spector murder trial. The majority of the day involved Judge Fidler, the prosecution and Spector’s all-star defense team trying to come to terms with the termination of “Special Instruction 3.” Despite the defense’s arguments that it should remain (it made the burden of proof more difficult for the prosecution), Judge Fidler ultimately decided to banish the instruction in an effort to get the jury back to deliberations. “Treat it as if you had never heard of it,” Fidler told the jury, before simplifying their decision-making by saying to convict if you think “the defendant committed an act with a firearm that caused the death of Lana Clarkson.” By the time all this jargon got ironed out, it was 3:15 PM LA time, and by 4, the day was done.

IS THIS GOOD OR BAD FOR SPECTOR?
While the possibility of a hung jury is still a reality, this new instruction makes things easier for the prosecution’s case. Out is the murky, paradoxical language of Special Instruction 3, in is the “Convict if you think he killed her” order. It also doesn’t help Spector that, according to an unsubstantiated report in a New York newspaper, the 7-5 split leaned towards “Guilty.”

” THIS FAIR TO PHIL,CERTAINLY NOT. THEY ARE RUNNING PHIL UNNESCARILY THROUGH EXTREME EMOTIONAL TRAMA AND STRESS”.

LMAO! So umm Liz, have you @ least went through the public school system? You’re words “might” make more of an impact if you could @ least compose something resembling grade school spelling,compostion.
Or perhaps you’re senile,VERY young,illiterate.
If so “Websters” can offer you a wonderfull line of dictionarys,perhaps get your GED?

Just some thoughts…

Phil Spector | 9/21/2007, 3:14 pm EST

Oobley-Doobley- Shazow Bam Boo!

lizzy, Thank you so much for your WONDERFULL support.
As you know I’m going through “some things”.
Should be resolved soon.
How would you like to come over to my swinging pad for a drink?
Perhaps listen to some of my many classic golden oldies?

PS- How do you feel about guns…

Kim | 9/21/2007, 3:30 pm EST

“You’re words ”

Great! now I’m on lizzy’s level of grammar. I.E. “you’re” I meant “your” of course.
Except for lizzy who this makes perfect sense.

Bubba In The Grey Bar Hotel | 9/21/2007, 3:34 pm EST

Ralphy somewhere in prision | 9/21/2007, 3:38 pm EST

Bukowski | 9/21/2007, 6:35 pm EST

“iam holding many degrees”

None of the them in English, apparently.

Kim | 9/22/2007, 10:50 am EST

“ha if u can iam holding many degrees”

Just classic! Keep em coming lizzy.
BTW the last I read was that 85% people feel Phil is guilty.

I’m confused by your comments towards myself.
I obviously only know what you right here.And judging by that… on a level of grammar,intelligent debate @ least I think everyone is unimpressed.
World traveler huh?
Would this per chance be “astral travel”?
Because you’re WAY OUT there.

Phil Spector | 9/22/2007, 10:57 am EST

Showaddy-waddy people!

Liz I like your spunk.
You and I are SO misunderstood.
Us being the elite and all.
I don’t mind that you can’t spell,compose make valid points in my defense.
Heck most of what I say makes no sense either.
So how about coming up for a drink sometime?
I’d love to play Be My Baby for you…
You know that one right?
I wrote it,yeah that was ME!
I produced it to.
So how bout it?
Have a little drinky,you take your clothes off,I ram a gun up your arse?
PS -just don’t talk ,okay?

Kim | 9/22/2007, 11:07 am EST

“tunnel vision people, the general majority thinks this way!!!”

From Rolling Stone.com
“the 7-5 split leaned toward guilty”

Wow,even though it’s in print from a reliable source {here}
You seem to have your own “sources” that claim otherwise.
Now these “sources” would they include little blue pills?
Or perhaps some of your “elite” friends under the rock from which you came?

Kim | 9/22/2007, 11:13 am EST

“you right here”
Yes ,i know i pulled a lizzy. I of course meant
“write”.

Phil Spector's Lawyer | 9/22/2007, 12:15 pm EST

“Have a little drinky,you take your clothes off,I ram a gun up your arse?”

Phil!!!
What in god’s name are you doing man?
No talk of guns in any conversations until this thing blows over!
Remember your mantra “serenity NOW,serenity NOW!”.

Bad Ronald | 9/22/2007, 3:49 pm EST

Thank GOD for people with great insight such as LIZZY!
I thank the LORD when reading her posts that such an educated person is voicing their views on Spector’s innocence in such an intelligent way!
I also thank GOD that people like her don’t just stand by the wayside when Phil is being crucified!
You keep doing what you do LIZZY,You’re a true example of everything that’s RIGHT in this world!
BTW I’m an atheist.

Blake Roberts | 9/22/2007, 4:16 pm EST

Ya know I went through a simularr {that’s how ya spell dat one I think}situattion myself.
I’m currently serving 3 consecutive life sentenses in a California state prision.
So I hook up with this broad right? She’s like all up in my shit.I bgring her back to da house we drink a few tall boys and gets down to bizness.She’s all into it then sez she gotta go.I sez stay,she sez she like playing with guns.I sez check out my AK 47. It winds up blowing her brains out.Oh man now they pinz it on me.Only cause I had a few simularr things happen in my past {just like Phil!} There was the time my ex wife was stepping out on me and we had us a fight and during the whole thing a gun accidently went off right threw her mouth! Man I got some bad luck! {just like Phil!}.
Phil my heaeert goes out to you bruther,stay strong.

Hermie Tukasbaum | 9/22/2007, 7:19 pm EST

I think Mr. Spector is not guilty.
Mainly because he produced some records my grandparents liked.

Winston O' Boogie | 9/22/2007, 7:29 pm EST

Question for Mr. Spector if I may be so bold.
How did such a violent type person get involved producing such a gentle,hopefull song such as Imagine by John Lennon?
He must be rolling over in his grave as his life was taken by another whack job with a gun.

“PHIL IS A DOLL LEAVE THE BABY ALONE!!!EK CHOTA BACHA, OH JUST 1 OF THE MANY LANGUAGES I SPEAK.”

Zurfle-Zaffle- Zig-Boo!

It’s so refreshing that such a literate person as yourself is coming to my aid.

Vous êtes une plaisanterie foutue ! !

Caveman Dialect | 9/23/2007, 1:52 pm EST

Si vous aviez seulement un cerveau !

Gretel | 9/23/2007, 2:24 pm EST

Lizzy ist ein Dummkopf!

Phil's Current Wife | 9/23/2007, 3:14 pm EST

Phil and I have advanced to bringing rifles into the bedroom!
He’s sooo kinky my lil troll doll lover.

FYI- keep it greasy so it’ll go down easy.

Phil Spector's Lawyer | 9/23/2007, 5:18 pm EST

Phil has asked me to post this statement:

Zarfle!!!!
Baah ,Baah

Digital Dave | 9/23/2007, 5:45 pm EST

Sounds like Phil’s got a computer virus

Kim | 9/23/2007, 9:20 pm EST

Phil has asked me to post this statement:”

Ummm… “okay?”
Must be some sort of lingo that the “elite”,”exclusive” sect can translate.

King Goffin {Nitzche too} | 9/24/2007, 10:44 am EST

Phil is credited as 1/3 of the songwriting team who composed “Be my baby”.
We Carole King/Gerry Goffin are the majority who wrote it.

Jack Nitzche can be credited with many of Spector’s song arangements,it wasn’t all Rugz-R-Us Spector

Phil Spector | 9/24/2007, 11:16 am EST

Herr-umph, Herr-umph Zab-A-Doo people!

Just wanted to chime in I’m really grooving to
The Talking Heads “Pycho Killer”.

What a catchy ditty-doo!
It has a good beat and you can dance to it too,really like this one.

Max Power | 9/24/2007, 8:23 pm EST

This guy should be incarcerated just for looking like a guilty, sagging sack of shit.

Phil Spector | 9/25/2007, 1:10 am EST

So long, suckers!
