Phil Spector MIStrial update


Seems as tho if you live in LA, are a celebrity (famous one or not) and have some dough you ain't going to jail. Let's face it, whether the prosecution could prove it or not, Phil Spector killed Lana Clarkson February 3, 2003. However, a mistrial was declared today by Judge Larry Fidler after the jury for the second time could not reach a verdict. A hearing has been set for Rocktober 3 where the prosecution will decide whether they will seek a retrial (I thought that it was against the law to retry someone?). The jury deliberated for 12 days and were split 10-2. This did not surprise me at all as, lucky for Spector, there just was not enough physical evidence to convict him. In some of the blogs I've been reading about the hung jury folks have been saying that there was enough evidence, but in actuality there was not.

Now there is a sheriff's investigation into a myspace.com posting which stated "I lovePhil Spector" and "The Evil Judge should DIE"! Whoa!!! The page has been taken down, which was called 'Team Spector'. It was signed "xoxo Chelle". And what is Spector's wifes' name? Rachelle. Of course the defense said that she has denied any involvement.
