Who needs soap operas when you can watch the latest court trials on tv? One of the biggest trials of the last decade, the Phil Spector trial, (or shall we say mistrials?)had scores of fans checking the court tv schedule so as not to miss a minute of the action involving the man who created the legendary  "wall of sound". Spector stands accused of allegedly shooting to death actress Lana Turner, which he now claims was a suicide. Spector was a genius in his time producing many of the girl bands in the 60's and  later going on to produce albums by Tina Turner, John Lennon and The Ramones. A well known recluse in the music world Spector became infamous for barricading his wife Ronnie Spector of the girl band the Ronnettes in their home and refusing to let her out during the 70's. This latest court trials by far not Spector's only brush with violence. Dee Dee Ramone made claims in the 80's that Spector kept him hostage in his home for days and pointed a gun at him while Spector was producing the Ramones first album. Music producer David Geffen and John Lennon also had similar instances with Spector as well. Twice Mr. Spector was escorted out of Christmas parties hosted by celebrity Joan Rivers for his erratic behaviour. He was heard screaming as he was escorted off the property " these bitches deserve to have a bullet put through there heads". Witness after witness testified in this latest court trials to the fact that Mr. Spector had a history of violence and particularly towards women. One woman testified that Spector looked like "Elmer Fudd with a gun". Spector admitted that he had thought that he had killed Lana Clarkson by shooting her when he was arrested, but that statement was later deemed inadmissible. As the trial neared its end I thought for sure that a guilty verdict was a given as did most every one else. That was not the case. The jury was a hung jury. Probably a court tv most shocking moment I am quite sure of. Mr. Spector will soon stand trial again for this crime. Be sure to keep checking your court tv schedule so you don't miss a second of his latest court trials.
