Is this a death-penalty case? (It may no longer be now, for other reasons, but was it ever?)
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 13 April 2009 21:32 (fifteen years ago) link
no its not. he's facing 18 years (I doubt he'll get that much)

where's Marcello

Marcello has a cast iron alibi so don't even try it.
― featuring Strawberry and the Shortcakes (Billy Dods), Monday, 13 April 2009 21:39 (fifteen years ago) link
lolz - nah there was just some other thread where Marcello was giving me shit for assuming Spector's guilt and I was sorta flabbergasted that anyone (esp someone who's researched Spector exhaustively) would buy his alibi

oops its 18 years TO LIFE... dude's gonna duy in the can

die even
It's like I should feel sadness or pity about this entire tragedy, but we always knew that Spector was nuts so the fact that his stupid habits finally led to someone's death isn't much of a surprise. It feels like nothing has really changed, and therefore I don't feel much of anything at all about this.

I guess for the family of the murdered woman there's some satisfaction about justice being done. But she's still gone.

Ehhhhhh... imo Spector lives (and brings to life in his music) the creepy pathologies that Nick Cave has made a career out of method-acting.

it's time to stop romanticizing the whole "dude pulled a gun on the Ramones in the studio!" stuff...
― henry s, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 18:50 (fifteen years ago) link
dunno if people romanticized that sort of thing -- the moral of those stories was always that Phil was a weird, fucked up dude, not that Phil was supercool or something.
