I read or saw somewhere (can't remember) that he is engaged. Any woman who gets involved with him has a screw loose.

Spector threatened the late Dee-Dee Ramone with a gun while they were in the studio recording END OF THE CENTURY (Spector's last album). In the last 5 years Joey, Johnny & Dee-Dee have all snuffed it, leaving Marky the last eye wittness. Wonder if he'll be taking the stand?

I'm waiting also. He just keeps getting more and more bizarre looking. If I saw that reflection when I looked in the mirror I would scream and run like hell.

Dear Mother of God - they should arrest the plastic surgeon who just did his face.

Mercy me.

His eyes are all bulged out and his skin is pulled tight but with eneven wrinkles. Looks like he had laser resurfacing too that makes the skin have a weird smooth texture that nature does not provide.

I'm sure he could afford a better surgeon.

On December 8, the lead prosecutor in the Spector case, Douglas Sortino, was appointed a Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He then stepped down from the Spector case.

Patrick Dixon, the Head of the Major Crimes Division, is still on the case. Another attorney from this division will be assigned. When the current trial date of this April 24 comes up, will it be delayed yet again?

Very possible, given the change in representative council.

Spector's attorneys lost another ruling on Thursday. The judge ruled that portions of a deposition Spector gave in a civil suit against his former attorney Robert Shapiro were to be handed over to prosecutors and released to the public.

Shapiro had gotten a retainer of $1.5 million and kept it when Spector fired him. Shapiro had gotten a retainer of $1.2 million from O.J. Simpson according to Jeffrey Toobin's book on the Simpson case.

Anyone know why he fired Robert S. in the first place? I'm surprised that he did that because I think Robert S. has a rep as a good attorney. Maybe he should call on "Hollywood Mark." He'd get a lot of media time if nothing else :crazy:

I plan on keeping track of this trial.....only if I don't have to look at Phil S. much. He is one scary looking guy.....ICK. I think he shot Lana whether on purpose or not he pulled the trigger. He was probably all doped out and didn't know what he was doing. No excuse though. From what I have heard about the placement of the gun, etc, there is no way this gal shot herself.

After firing Shapiro, Spector dismissed his next lawyer, Leslie Abramson. The reason seems to have been that Spector will not do what his attorneys tell him. Regarding the civil suit against Shapiro where he gave a deposition, my brother who is an attorney told me, "Spector must want to go to prison."

Kind of like Robert Blake before his trial huh?! Maybe he should just represent himself.....could you imagine??!!

I heard that the Pros can use the depo during the trial. Do you have any idea what Spector said in the depo that will send him to prison?

He doesn't seem to have said a lot, but a prosecutor loves it when a defendant says ANYTHING before trial. Scott Peterson gave several TV interviews and note were he is now.

The Spector Trial is delayed again. First the defense lawyers aren't ready. Then, the defense lawyers have another trial. Next, the prosecutors have a trial in May. Now, the judge finds that he scheduled another trial on the same date in September, and moves Spector to January 2007. What will these lawyers and judges do next to put this trial off?

I was wondering the same thing when I read about the delay. Til 2007 no less. When will this fruit loop have to face the music?

OMG!!!!

How does he get away with this? The family of that poor girl must be so irate........... :furious:

How long can this go on? Legally speaking I mean. How can the judge seriously look at how long it has been and then postpone for another year almost. I don't understand the justice system. It looks to an outsider that there was possibly bribes or something. I'm not saying there was, I'm just saying that from the outside looking in, something is fishy :rolleyes:

The Phil Spector case was featured on Nancy Grace tonight. It will repeat at 10pm and 1am ET tonight. The trial had been scheduled to begin on January 16. Journalist Art Harris said on NG that the trial has been delayed to next Spring. Is this true?

The prosecutors (Patrick Dixon and Alan Jackson) have been working on the Mickey Thompson murder trial the last several weeks. The Thompson Trial has just gone to the jury. Last Spring, the judge arbitrarily moved it back to January 2007. Has he moved it back again?

William N, I watched the NG episode earlier too. It does not seem like Spector will ever get to court with all the delays. I hope justice can be served, it certainly isn't swift. I'm eager to know what occurred in his house.



Below is a link that has other related news about Phil.

The April Trial Date is for the civil suit. As far as I know, the murder trial is still supposed to be next month. I haven't seen any news to the contrary on the web. The prosecutors on the Mickey Thompson case are the same men who were on the Spector case. The jury will stop deliberating until the New Year if they don't reach a verdict today on Michael Goodwin, the accused in the murder of race car driver Mickey Thompson.

This must be true as I heard the same thing on Nancy G. as you did about the trial delay till Spring.
I searched the internet but could not find if/when the new date is set for.
