I’ve known a lot of criminal lawyers in my time and have worked with the Some of the best anywhere. Unfortunately there are a large number of media hounds that make high profiles for themselves as their clients go to prison.I put some serious thought into who should be the new lead lawyer for Phil Spector. As the readers of this blog know, I sincerely believe Philip Spector is an innocent man. I would not wish on Spector any more of the headline grabbers or legal pundits.
My first choice would be Bay Area lawyer Gerald Schwartzbach who won a not guilty verdict for actor Robert Blake. Schwartzbach is brilliant, charming and has a great style. For a second chair I’d go with appellant lawyer, Dennis Riordan who was a late entry to the old team.
Spector had lots of great experts but lacked a needed firearms expert like author, Massad F Ayoob who’s been on the right side of some nearly impossible cases.
For investigators I can recommend myself to work with a little gal Schwartzbach used for Robert Blake’s case.
The defense can't be run by TV personalities but rather great speakers that will fill the empty defense holes like why Spector relied on the limo driver to call for help and the inexcusable 40 minutes that went by before police responded. Both of these things were used against Spector and were easily explained.
Hey guy,

"They'll think I killed somebody"
Adrian thought he heard...
"I think I killed somebody"
and started the whole Sherrif's response... which was not ever to ask Phil what happened... but just take him into custody.
It's now impossible for ADS to admit he may have been mistaken.

HUNG JURY OR FIXED JURY? WHERE'S BRUCEY BOY? YOU KNOW, THE ATTY. WHO FIXED JOHN GOTTI CASES SO OFTEN THEY FORBID HIM FROM DEFENDING HIM. OKAY SO BRUCE SPREAD SOME GREEN ON SOME POOR BLACK FOLK IN L.A. AND GOT THEM HUNG. WHERE'S THE BLOOD ON SPECTORS HANDS THEY CRIED? EASY - TRY THIS - LET SOMEONE STICK A GUN IN YOUR MOUTH AND SEE HOW YOUR HANDS WILL AUTOMATICALLY COVER HIS IN YOUR LAST ATTEMPT TO TAKE THE GUN OUT OF YOUR PIE HOLE. SO THE GUN GOES OFF, THE BLOOD SPLATTERS ON YOUR HANDS NOT HIS.. AND BESIDES, HOW LONG DID SPECTOR HAVE TO CLEAN UP BEFORE THE COPS ARRIVED? HOUR AND A HALF WAS IT, OR WAS IT LONGER? JUSTICE WAS NOT DONE - BUT HEY THIS IS THE SAME JURY POOL THAT FOUND O.J. NOT GUILTY AND WE ALL KNOW HE DID IT.. I HEAR BRUCEY BOY GOT HIMSELF A TV SHOW NOW - AND GUESS WHAT? HE'S THE JUDGE!!! SO NOW HE CAN FIX HIMSELF! WHO SAYS CRIME DOES NOT PAY? THE OLD COPPER SAYS ASK BRUCE..
ReplyDeleteThere's only one criminal defense attorney that I know: JIM EPSTEIN. He's not only a life long friend of mine-- HE SAVED MY LIFE.

The defense team seemed disorganized and definitely not ready for the prosecution's tricks.
ReplyDeleteI believe this defense missed making some crucial points which point to innocence.
Next time you can bet the defense team will be new and improved and have their ducks in a row. The prosecution couldn't improve much on their presentation so I don't foresee a guilty verdict. There's really no evidence Phil shot Lana, but there is strong evidence to indicate she shot herself.
Paul some words of wisdom. Phil Spector is just another Joe. There are MUCH others accused of crimes, which you do not discuss. And there are MANY OTHER qualified attorneys that are not known, that could do even better job that specters currents defense team. Please Paul keep things in perspective.
