I concur! It's about time these rich bastards are held accountable. Way to many times in the past has their celebrityhood kept them out of jail! This guy did it! After reasoning the evidence, I don't know how else you can figure it.

That only took a gajillion years. I don't have any sympathy for him.

Trading in that wall of sound for a wall of bars. Too bad. He is a musical genius and a wackjob.

Rest in Peace, Lana Clarkson.

The judge denied bail and Spector, wearing a fire-engine red tie and pocket square, was taken into custody after the verdict was announced. He also wore a "Barack Obama Rocks" button on his left suit lapel.

IIRC, this was the second trial as the first one resulted in a hung jury.

I'd convict him for this very reason alone....
Seriously, there is a fine line between genius and insanity. I think he stepped over the line....

Kinda looks like a cross between Gollum and the Cryptkeeper.

They have his mug shot at the smoking gun. He looks a lot better without the wig.

Phil wrote a couple of tunes for friends back in 1966......very sad state of affairs. He should have been institutionalized years ago when he abused Ronnie Spector (wife).
