Ok, folks, this long trial is starting to wind down, as closing arguments started Wednesday (Sept. 5). Deputy District Attorney Alan Jackson, delivering the prosecutions closing statements, simply stated "He killed her." Phil Spector, who is 67, is on trial for the killing of 40 year old Lana Clarkson February 3, 2003. The judge has said that he expects that the 9 men and 3 women jury should have the case by Friday, finally, after a 5 month trial.
My thoughts are that Spector is guilty, but the physical evidence just isn't there. Spector is a crazy, mental, careless guy who has several times tried to intimidate women with waving a gun in their face to try and do what he wanted, and on this fateful night in 2003 it all went wrong and he accidentally killed Clarkson. He didn't mean to, he didn't want to, it wasn't premeditated. It was an accident, but it was an accident that he is responsible for, but one that, unfortunately, he's probably not gonna have to pay for.
As far as him being a musical genius, give me a break! His 'Wall of Sound' is irritating. When George Harrison remastered his All Things Must Pass album he said he was so tempted to remix them to get rid of the 'Wall of Sound'.
Your thoughts on these two topics are definitely welcome.
Edie Brickell's keyboardist, 34 year old Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, a member of her band The New Bohemians, was killed Monday in Dallas, Texas, evidently by self defense. Dallas police are not pursuing any charges against the man who shot Albrecht. Police are saying that Albrecht was drunk and had been arguing with his girlfriend. He then went next door to his girlfriend's house and tried to kick the door in. The neighbor yelled at Albrecht to leave, and when he did not he fired a shot through the door. Albrecht has also played with Paul Somon, Brickell's ex-husband and with Charlie Sexton. Wow, isn't getting drunk so fun?!!!
