We may be only days from a verdict in the Phil Spector murder case. Yes, I tried to not pay attention to it but it's hard when you go to websites and in the margins, they have these intriguing News Headlines about the case. I'm proud to say that I didn't waste a lot of my life following this one but ashamed that I wasted any, and that I'm about to waste yours for a paragraph or two.
Admittedly, if you follow a trial via news broadcasts and articles, you hear a very different case than the jury hears. You hear all the stuff that the judge excludes. You hear about witnesses that he won't allow to testify. You hear about all the arguments that are specifically conducted with the jury out of the room. And of course, you're relying on brief summaries of the testimony and you don't actually hear the words or see the faces.
Still, I have to say: If this guy is acquitted, I'm going on a killing spree. Because it'll mean no one gets convicted of murder, especially if they're in show business.
