QuoteRock music producer Phil Spector was convicted Monday of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a film actress at his mansion six years ago.

A Superior Court jury returned the verdict after about 30 hours of deliberations. The jury had the option of choosing involuntary manslaughter, but did not do so.

I call bullshit.   Totally unnecessary verdict.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Why? :huh:

Guy's accused of putting his gun in the mouth of a bar hostess he just picked up, and blowing her away.

In Seedy's world, that's not a crime - that's foreplay.  :D

Clearly Money would have pressed for jury nullification if he'd served on that case.  :cool:

He got in a really bad car accident in the 70s (IIRC) and after that went totally insane.

Outside of the US, Canada and Scandinavia, it makes you either insane or a revolutionary, I think.
