Phil Spector – Murderers Get Laptops In Jail?

Jailed music legend Phil Spector has posted a string of astonishing internet blogs before and after being sentenced to 19 years for murder.

The producer, who has been allowed to keep a laptop computer and iPod in his cell at Los Angeles County Jail, has been rattling off revealing messages via the chat site Twitter.

In them, Spector, 69, who was convicted by a retrial jury last month for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, tells how:

  • The authorities took his wig
  • He has befriended a cockroach – “I’m naming him Wilson” – and is playing air chess with him
  • His “wall of sound” music style is comparable to the artistic works of Leonardo Da Vinci
  • He is “dysfunctional by choice and I love my attitude problem”
  • He refuses to be depressed, calling it a “wasted emotion,” like pity
  • He has an “itch” in his head that is driving him “crazy” and medication he has been ordered to take is “taking its toll”.

Spector was secretly escorted from jail last Wednesday to UCLA Medical Centre in Beverly Hills for the two-hour operation. It is not known if the polyps were malignant or in a pre-cancerous state.

His ­special privileges at LA County Jail are not uncommon, especially for celebrity inmates, but they will almost certainly not be as generous when he is placed in a long-term prison in the next few weeks after medical and psychological screening.

However, he will be able to carry on blogging. America’s Federal Bureau of Prisons announced earlier this year that its estimated 2,450,000 inmates will all have access to email by 2011.

I’m fairly certain this entire story is a big steaming pile. However, it does make for an interesting read and someone amusing to follow on Twitter.

Hey… are you following me?

Phil Spector Found Guilty of Murder

A jury today found music producer Phil Spector guilty of second-degree murder.

He stood accused for the death of Lana Clarkson, 40, who was found shot to death in his home in Alhambra in 2003. His first trial in 2007 ended in jury deadlock.

A sentencing hearing, which could lead to at least 18 years in jail, has been set for May 29th.

The 69-year-old Spector has been awarded two Grammy Awards and in 1989, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“In the 1960s, he became famous as the man behind the ‘Wall of Sound,’ an instrumentally dense swirl of melody and percussion underlying such tunes as the Ronettes’ ‘Be My Baby,’ the Righteous Brothers’ ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling’ and Ike and Tina Turner’s ‘River Deep, Mountain High,’” wrote CNN of his biography.

“He later produced the Beatles’ “Let It Be” album, John Lennon’s “Imagine” and the Ramones’ ‘End of the Century.’”

Phil Spector Murder Case Ends in Mistrial – NSFW Picture of Murder Victim

Because of two non-conformists, Phil Spector, the person that I believe murdered a woman, is as free as O.J. Simpson so he can threaten to kill other people.

Phil Spector Murder Case Ends in Mistrial - PIC

quote6.jpgThe jury deliberated for 12 days, taking six ballots, but was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

Jurors told Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler they were split 10-2, without indicating which way they were leaning. They added there was nothing Fidler could do to help them arrive at a unanimous verdict.

Fidler discharged the nine men and three women, thanking them for their service.

Spector went on trial in April, charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of B-movie queen Lana Clarkson after a night out in the clubs of Hollywood.

The judge told attorneys to return to his Los Angeles, California, courtroom on October 3 to discuss the next legal move.

Spector, 67, did not take the witness stand at the trial.

Deliberations were arduous, entering the third week on Monday. Last week, jurors received new instructions on the law and were told to start over after the foreman declared the panel was deadlocked 7-5.

The jury’s inability to reach a verdict capped a five-month trial that played like a Hollywood film noir classic — with a twist of the bizarre.

Normally reclusive, Spector had spent a rare night out on the town, found Clarkson at the House of Blues at closing time and invited her home for a drink in the wee hours of February 3, 2003.

After initially turning him down, she agreed to accompany him, according to testimony.

Hours later, police were summoned to Spector’s mansion in Alhambra, a suburb of Los Angeles. The diminutive music producer had wandered into the driveway in the predawn and told his Brazilian-born chauffeur, “I think I killed somebody,” according to the driver’s testimony.

Clarkson was found inside, slumped in a chair in the foyer. She had been shot in the mouth. A .38-caliber Colt Special revolver lay at her feet. It appeared someone had attempted to clean up the blood with a diaper found in the guest bathroom.

Spector’s attorneys argued that Clarkson was depressed over a recent breakup, grabbed the gun and took her own life.

But prosecution witnesses painted Spector as a gun-toting menace, with five women telling harrowing tales on the witness stand of the music producer threatening them with firearms. Spector’s driver testified he heard a loud noise and saw the producer leave the home, pistol in hand, saying, “I think I killed somebody.”

What other’s said:

  • Defamer says, “We’re not sure what we’re supposed to be feeling right now; we’re mulling outrage, but then we start picturing that adorable Great Dane and that parade of fun wigs and we just can’t seem to muster it–which could very likely be the same thought process going through the minds of those stubborn holdouts.”
  • Felt Up says, “Phil, O.J., and Robert Blake should do a reality show called, oh I don’t know, “Killas In Da House!” or something. Every week, a middle-aged blonde lady would move in and they could compete to see who can kill her the fastest.”
