I watched both trials and it had a lot of suspense in it and like Dominick said eccentric to say the least. Both trials tried unsuccessfully blame Lana for her death and by watching Phil, you can see that he really didn't give two craps about her death. Although he may well be a wicked individual, but he has produced a number of great songs and groups of the late 50's to the middle of the 60's. The song "To Know Him Is To Love Him" has been re-recorded by several artists over the years; I know of a few that had redone the song: The Shirelles, Amy Winehouse, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and, I think, Linda Ronstadt (sorry for the misspellings). The Ronettes biggest hit written and produced by him was "Be My Baby," which was sampled in Eddie Money's song "Take Me Home Tonight," which was a huge hit for Eddie Money. Phil Spector is a music genius, too bad that he couldn't treat the women he had dated, married or came across with the same dignity as he did the songs. His piss poor excuse to blame the victim is not going to go over well with ANY jury member; I'd like to think that. As one person had already stated (I'm so sorry for forgetting your name), what did he think was going to happen when "playing" around with a weapon? Someone was going to be shot one horrible day/night and, sadly, it was Lana that was brutally murdered by his own hand not hers. I know that I may catch hell for this but it's a rarity for ANY woman to commit suicide by placing a weapon in her mouth and pulling the trigger, because they don't want to be seen in that condition and it has to do with vanity. Plus it does NOT make ANY sense that she meets this man for the very first time, go back to his house, forcibly I may add, have a drink or two then go roaming around to look for a weapon and commit suicide in this man's house. Like Dominick stated that isn't plausible at all. I truly miss watching this show and seeing Dominick's sweet and lovable face to "report" on the horrible crimes that wealthy people do. He had done this show while in severe pain and no one can notice it. RIP Dominick now you're with your daughter and wife.
Way before Phil Spector murdered this woman, his Wikipedia page said that he had a coffin in his house that he threatened his ex wife with if she got out of line. After I read about him, I remember saying that I'm surprised he has not killed anyone yet. His Wikipedia article is clean up now.
+Theodore 1 I'm sure that your saying that has nothing to do with the fact that your RU-vid channel is a bunch of clips about how great Phil Spector was. Way to be petty & hateful about a dead woman.
RIP Dominick Dunne. I always enjoyed watching Power, Privilege and Justice. He seemed like a thoughtful, intelligent person, and it was interesting getting a view from someone who lived in the same social strata in which the crimes were committed. As for Spector? Guilty as sin. The ugly, little, bully is right where he belongs.
Spector's revolutionary methods in recording and production wouldn't and couldn't have happened without the technology which was suddenly available around that time in the 60's. Compression techniques and machines, etc... new effects and ways of mastering, recording, engineering... but of course those inventors and even corporate investors aren't given any credit today.
hahah it's amazing that all the "expert" scientists are sitting there and shamelessly testifying (for money) that Lana commited a suicide. What kind of expert asshole are they and why would they even dare to call themselves an expert, when it makes completely no sense for a complete stranger to go in a complete stranger's house and commit a suicide? How long do you have to study in school to become an expert to be so fucking dumb, or embarass yourself infront of the whole world that you are going to say anything for money???
That's not logical. They are separate persons charged with separate crimes in separate cases. I think Spector is innocent. OJ I don't, ... that's not a racial issue it's based on the evidence I've seen. Get a PACER.GOV account (if you're in the USA, you can and it's free) to view all federal court records available without FOIA (a lot).
you are absolutely correct. In fact, there are no real experts in anything. It is the human condition that causes people with the same set of facts to come up with different conclusions. It is all based on money... Money can sway any opinion about anything. If not for money, imagine where we would be as a human race today...
Spector looks like Rumpelstiltskin. Had to laugh at Bruce Cutler the high priced mafia lawyer making excuses and scurrying back to New York with his tail between his legs when things didn't go his way. Very unprofessional to cut bait in the middle of a trial but I guess he had an image to maintain.

Though you may be correct in some circumstances, you're not correct in all. Differences of opinion among experts can also be based, and usually is, on the weight given certain facts, on the interpretation of facts and so forth. The reason it's considered expert testimony is due to the fact that the witness is very experienced and knowledgeable about how to interpret particular kinds of evidence. It's not always about the "human condition", for which I think you may have meant greed?
Even the f**kin liars on the defense team lost. This is a clear cut case of foxes and sleeze bag lawyers who also lose. This show is justice like no other. I hope this SOB rots behing bars but leaves room in hell to be joined by his crooked defense team. Bruce Cutler knew within the 1st day of court how much he was hated and how the jury would not be swayed by anything he said for this day on. What kind of crap do these law students learn anyway in American law schools. Sickening to the core!
I was initially pretty disgusted with this video....not because of the video itself: but the history it conveyed. I shut the video off...and it took me three re-visits to see it all. The narrator is pretty well versed and articulate (although I don't understand why he didn't actually LEAVE that bathroom)....but that's not the problem. FIRST OF ALL: I definitely agree that Spector had a lot to do with advancing the music of his era....and those of us that grew up in the sixties and seventies reaped the benefits of the musical directions he encouraged. I definitely think the current generation's music could use an "ear" and an advocate like him....but that is beside the point. THAT SAID: what really put me off is that this woman did not have to die!!! I don't for a minute believe she committed suicide. However: if ANYONE that remembers him using the guns at parties etc had told him to put them away or they would leave....or if ANY of those women who had testified in court had reported him years ago and charged him with assault and threatening with a deadly weapon--so much damage to so many people could have been avoided. Possibly he might have been disciplined much earlier--and likely would have been told by the courts not to possess fire arms. PLEASE SPEAK UP IF YOU ARE ASSAULTED OR THREATENED WITH A WEAPON!!! YOU ARE NOT ONLY STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF---YOU ARE POSSIBLY SAVING THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE!!! I understand people were "intimidated" by their perceptions of his "power"....but there is NEVER a good excuse for BAD BEHAVIOR: particularly if it can be damaging or life-threatening to someone. PEACE!!!! ~~ RED ☮♥♫
22:17 I stayed at the Chateau Marmont the week I visited a friend being treated for cancer at Cedars-Sinai. It was nice but hardly worth the $800+ a night.
EVEN IF the prosecution did not have any other evidence (which they DID, A TON OF EVIDENCE), the mere fact that "doctor" Spitz testified "It is my opinion that at the end of this ... that most likely this is a self-inflicted wound" should be a strong evidence of GUILT of the defendant. This "doctor" Spitz is the scumbag who testified for the defense in the Caylee murder trial, who made up the shit that the 3 layers of duct-tape covering Caylee's mouth and nose was "not a murder weapon ... but an afterthought as the decomposing advanced, ... to keep the jaw from falling off." Dominick Dunne is right to call them experts like this one the courtroom whores, as I label them all "jose-fucking-bs expert", with the right price, you can buy these scumbag "experts" to blow anything for you.
Really!!!!!!!! To sum up, you truly should know that I right today become as the main absolutely well-marginalized and well-annoyed lost and neglected too young man that I have yearly been suffering out the worst unbearable painfully chronic health-cases' handicap as well as I am immorally suffered out the worst live deadly dead brainwashing's disorders'Maze to be right now lost away into the worst uncommon so savage loss, marginlizations and neglects'Maze that none and nobody care at all. Please, can you investigate and intevenee in urgent International Legal and Executive Ways and Matters to arrive at what have those whole Moroccan National Locally Expert Beast Cruel Criminal Team been treating against me to get me to be terribly well-destroyed and mentally to be enough suffered out the worst live deadly dead awkward immoral mental brainwashing's disorders'Maze within that I have yearly been suffering out since 1989s up to right today; 2015s, in the main Local Psychiatrique Services'SIDI HUSSEIN BEN ASSEUR HOSPITAL in OUARZAZATE CITY in the main SOUTHREN SITE OF MOROCCO COUNTRY since I only was 16 years old up to right nowadays, I am actually got to be at last 43 years old and then, I am seriously lost away into the worst terribly loss and annoyments'Maze to behave as the main live deadly dead lost away too young man that none and nobody can't even try to hand me out no a such glimmer of any hope at all to be enough found out as well. I impatienly wait forwards to hear from You as possible as You really can. Best Regards. Yours Sincerely, Mr Fouad ZENNARI.
But the the picture of her sitting in the chair looks stage to me .. I believe she wanted to leave but because of his controling personality....things quickly took a deadly turn.....and the young lady pay the price....this could have all been avoided if he was made accountable for his actions years ago.....RIP LANA..
You can definitely see where her top two front teeth were blown out-by her kissing the gun. The angle would be impossible for anyone who is sitting down, for someone else to put a gun in her/his mouth and be so exact to the causes. No other way but her kissing the gun as Phil explains it is the only possible explanation. *Google Lana Clarkson crime scene photos-look at the teeth autopsy shown online-only her two top front teeth or blown out-the bottoms have no damage-it would be impossible for anyone else to have done this.
+Jennifer J. Bland Are you as crazy as he is ? How do you know this was the position she was in when she was shot ? Phil Spector is , always was a maniac. How many people did Spector put a gun to their heads ? John Lennon and Leonard Cohen for two. The only shocker is that he only killed one person ( that we are aware of )
spatter splatter what's it really matter? It's all just a lotta chatter. Cause Phil ain't never gettin outta there anway. but as for my opinion. I believe the poor girl accidentally shot her self in the mouth. does that help anyone ?
so did I Dominick Dunne ,..... I Was Told I Was M.R, ,..... I always Knew I Was Smart ,..... The Untied States , Marine Corps , Taught Me Different , ,.....
Most short of stature men who are trying to compensate for their height, simply get a huge Harley and some leathers...lol! I passionately resent when the defense puts the victim on trial.
As a juror I might have had reasonable doubt except for all of the women - not to mention John Lennon's GF - who are on the record and/or testified that Spector would often pull out a gun, wave it around and occasionally fire off a shot. Or use that gun to keep people from leaving, which is basically kidnapping. Finally, one of those guns went off and wound up killing somebody. Limo driver seemed to be on the level. In the end, he finally had a bad hair day...
Alcohol and/or benzodiazepine withdrawal is marked by tremors. There's something called the kindling effect which occurs when you repeatedly administer ethanol (booze) and then withdraw which makes each subsequent withdrawal more intense just enough, to whatever degree. It can get to the point where a 65 year old binge drinker or alcoholic of whatever variety might have 2 beers and then die of a grand mal or "tonic clonic" seizure as they're now called. Spector maybe wasn't treated by a psychiatrist during the trial, and was advised to quit all drinking by defense. Even if a psychiarist gave him a benzo like Ativan, or usually Valium, Librium, something long-acting it wouldn't be enough to stop the tremors given how much he drank for how long, supposedly. I don't think he was guilty, though for what it's worth. Or that he is, rather.
Was the victim's hand's ever tested for gun powder residue? Was Spector's hands tested for the residue? it seems more likely that the victim did in fact accidentally inflict the harm/damage to herself-as for putting a gun directly into the mouth would be a bit difficult for Spector to exactly measure right between her TWO FRONT TEETH, as he couldn't have HELD a GUN so STEADY while so DRUNK to have been so precise to have done this to her-I can see him possible close to her or near her when it happened-and some blood spatter on him from a far-but if HE'D been TOO CLOSE or CLOSE enough to have done this to her-he would have had FAR MORE blood spatter on him-and a thicker more blood-from being close point blank range. I have seen even in movies girls playing around with guns-drunk-inexperienced with guns and being around them-and KISSING the GUN playing-joking-drunk-as I can see Lana Clarkson did this to her self-ON ACCIDENT. Jennifer J. Bland *Friend of the Court.
+Jennifer J. Bland Jennifer, I don't think there is anything anyone can say to help you dear. There are so many variables and to know how blood would splatter if you shoot someone in the mouth and it goes through their teeth to assume this would cause the usual blood splatter of a gunshot wound directly to the head or chest is all a guessing game. THis guys god like attitude and past paint a good picture of what happened to most people that aren't insane and assume they know the physics of how blow splatter is for each and every gun shot wound to every single inch of the human body. Lets see her broke her teeth then maybe going into her mouth causing the blood splatter to be contained in there is to hard to understand I know dear.
Lovely video but a lot of things don't add up. How is Dominick saying he met Phil at a "society party" but then Phil is not going to recognize him during the supposed "restroom meeting"? Does not make sense.
lmao I never said I met Phil..Im basing my comment on "facts" that were stated repeatedly about Phil in open Court...and calm down its not that serious.. Theodore Ey,,
these women testify that phil pulled out a gun and threatened they.how come they didn't tell authority's?did they let him continue.did they run or fight.did launa struggle then phil would have wounds to show she was trying to stop him
these women testify only now .never told authorities when what they claim he did? did they do what they claim or get the fuck out.if someone tried to put a gun in my mouth I would fight for my life.Lana was a big girl she could take Phil easily kick him in the nuts? fuck up.
I'm just going to throw it out there. Why would she go home with him? Honestly, there are a ton of record producers and movie producers in Hollywood - Big names - go home with one of them. I mean, you'd have to be pretty damn desperate to fuck this Gollum lookalike. That makes me question her state of mind.
In the 2 trial, the defense wanted to portray Lana Clarkson as a pill junkie, what a dumb defense, just look at Phil Spector a pitiful wig wearing dazed and confused looking man, he thought like alot of Hollywood big wigs "no pun intended" that he was going to get away with murder.
You wave guns enough you point them at "innocent"people things are going to happen...Tell that to Tamir Rice and the dad at the Wal Mart buying a bb gun....and Oscar Grant at the train murdered by a cop..... and ps the damned criminal courts are EXACTLY that.... a treasonous ass fraudulent system that could give less of a shit about what is right and justice just ask the 334 innocent people exonerated by the innocence project....most had be in jail unlawfully for fucking decades all because some cops and a justice system of criminal wanted a fucking feather in their hat ...They cannot be trusted....Talk about criminals....
Funny how the same people largely who think Spector is guilty (or many of them) are such fans of William S. Burroughs who shot and killed his wife in Mexico supposedly by mistake while playing a game where he shot some object off her head... while drunk. Jurisdiction issues, sure, but the guy's a 'hero' and an 'icon'.
What about Pex the discredited liar who was so lazy he shitted out previous photos from a different investigation and gun and claimed it was a cobra colt lolol
Still all a BIG PLOT against you Phil, eh? .Being insane doesn't mean 'not guilty' . . pathetic twisted mf.. .and he got a 'new wife'? WTF is wrong with HER ? Oh wait..let me guess, after his money. .
Trial is a joke ... a show for the prosecution. No hard evidence. No GSR. Witchhunt for the wierd spector ... they thought he was wierd and rich and deserved to be pulled down. Not that I care about PS but the fact is this is another joke trial.
+jtm0071 Women in these comments who watched the trial are so easily fooled. A past of women talking about him doing this very thing over and over. He has a god complex. They are easily fooled into thinking they are blood splatter experts and they even think they have all the information and evidence to make these crazy comments. There should be a study or documentary done on how easily people are fooled to believe things.
+John Tate Absolutely true! Spector was a nut job his entire life. He pulled guns on the Beatles as well as many others, not to mention he ripped off Darlene Love and many more. You can start with the fact that so many people voted for Obama and the damage that has been done is probably irreversible. They believed he was going to fix everything. Remember Obama would be the first to tell you that South Africa need black rule because they are the majority, but somehow that rule does not apply to the U.S.A.
I am not the smartest cat, but you don't have to be to know this guy is bad. I do not understand how some people just think he is just eccentric. He likes he is god like.
Absolute Bullshit. She was a whore who had no concept of what she was getting involved in. The game eats people up and then spits them out. He was et up and so was she.
