Prosecutor and Defense WItness Clash At Spector Trial

August 16th, 2007 · No Comments

Labels:

Prosecutor Alan Jackson is accusing defense witness Dr. Micheal Baden of a conflict of interest in the Phil Spector murder trial because Dr. Baden’s wife is one of Phil Spector’s lawyers.

Phil Spector is on trial for the murder of Lana Clarkson. He is best known for pioneering the “Wall of Sound” in the 60’s as a top music producer.

People who have known Phil Spector for a long time all pretty much say the same thing about him. He’s an evil little man with bad wigs. LOL.. no, just kidding. They say he was a brilliant music producer but very hard to work with and a very difficult person in general. Several women have said he pulled a gun on them and waved it around in the past when they wouldn’t do what he wanted or did something he didn’t like… or, interestingly enough, tried to leave.

He says Lana Clarkson committed suicide in his foyer… with her purse on her shoulder.

She was killed by a single shot through the mouth with Spector’s gun.

    Well, Britney Spears is being sued by her ex-husband, Kevin Federline for more money.. oops.. I mean more custody of their two little boys.

    Really, who can blame him? I hope he’s not doing it just to get more money but some people seem to think that’s the case.

    Not that tabloid reports are all that reliable, but TMZ does have a video of Britney running into another parked car and then getting out to check her own car.. then leaving without leaving a note for the owner of the other car or trying to contact them in any way. That doesn’t make her a bad mother.

    However, there are pictures of her youngest son in a front facing car seat, which isn’t correct for a child of his age. He is supposed to still be in a rear facing car seat.. but hey, at least she’s putting the kids in car seats now.

    There are also all the tabloid reports, and again tabloid reports don’t equal evidence, of Britney still out all hours of the night and doing all kinds of crazy things. I don’t know if Federline can prove she’s neglecting the kids but he’s been desperately trying to get in touch with the assistant Britney fired after the trainwreck interview with OK Magazine, and he has served her cousin/assistant with papers to be deposed in the case. I can see the ex-assistant dishing dirt but I’m sure Ali will try to make things seem not so bad.

    And maybe they aren’t so bad. It may be true that Britney is out partying all night, but kids are sleeping at that time. I’m sure she leaves them with a responsible nanny. And during the days when she is sleeping it off.. well, I’m sure manny or nanny is keeping an eye on the kids.

    When we see pictures of Britney’s kids they don’t look malnourished or dirty. They are well clothed - and apparently have more fashion sense than Britney.

    So, I guess we will have to wait and see what a judge says about the Spears-Federline custody dispute. All I can say is that Britney had to have seen this coming a long time ago.

    Britney has started playing more of a mommy role in public over the last couple of days. She took her kids out to eat and took them to the restroom with her. When she left she even carried one of the boys to the car and put him in his front-facing car seat. Some assistant or something strapped the other kid in, also in a front-facing car seat.

    Lindsay Lohan just can’t catch a break. Is there anyone that doesn’t want to see this girl broke and in jail?

    Remember Lohan’s last DUI and drug possession arrest? The SUV she was driving wasn’t hers, the three guys inside it say she basically car-jacked and kidnapped them and took off with them in the car to chase her former assistant and her mother.

    Well, there was another girl in the Escalade with Lohan’s ex-assistant and her mother. This girl is now suing Lohan because she was so terrified during and after the chase, especially when police reportedly approached them with guns drawn. She says she was in fear for her life.

    The girl is suing Lohan for assault and negligence. She is also claiming that Lindsay inflicted emotional distress on her and wants an unspecified amount of compensation for damages and medical treatment.

    This lawsuit has been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and you can be certain that I will be following the case.

    I’ll also be following the Spears and Federline custody battle as well, but since documents are sealed for the time being in that case I think most of the information given to the public will be opinion and speculation rather than concrete facts.
