Today marks the beginning of the Phil Spector murder trial, which will be televised on Court TV, and sure to provide some colorful testimony. The media are all over this, so whether you care or not, you'll be hearing all about it! In a sidebar to the main story, Yoko Ono and Keith Richards will appear as character witnesses for the defense. John Lennon and Phil Spector were friends, and though Phil was his usual theatrical self, waving firearms and shooting over John's head at one point, Lennon took the event in stride.
My personal experience with Phil is that he is not quite what he is being portrayed as in the media, and I shall be watching this with some interest. The fact that Ms. Clarkson had gunpowder residue on both hands is going to be tricky for the prosecution to get around. imo.
