Tactical nukes on Warner Brothers?… maybe.
First OJ, then Robert Blake, now Phil… oh, to be a fancy defense lawyer in Southern California! Now there’s a gig.

JURY POOL
1) Dumb
2) Indecisive
3) Can’t we all get along
4) He seems like a nice guy
5) Those police are meany baddies
Given that OJ, Blake and now Spector should all have been slamdunk victories for the prosecution, this latest development starts to say something about the mindset of the typical LA juror. Obsessed by personality, easily hoodwinked by charismatic defense attorneys and, possibly, unable to believe that one of their celebrity icons could be guilty of anything.
Clueless in Hollywood. Like we always knew.
Mike,
Maybe they were illegal aliens?
I disagree about Blake. It was a difficult case. The prosecution strategy was to make Blake the shooter, put the gun in his hand. Though I believe he was involved, I doubt he was the shooter.
I haven’t followed the cases, but the BBC today makes note that the fatal wound was a pistol shot inside the mouth…
A common form of suicide, but hard for someone else to do…especially to a lady sitting in a chair…
So maybe there was reasonable doubt…as for Blake, I agree: he got someone to do it but they tried to prove he pulled the trigger…, and the OJ case should have gone for second degree murder…an obvious rage murder from cocaine/anger, not a planned murder.
Maybe they need better prosecutors in LA…

Are you kidding? When you drive to someone’s house in the middle of the night with a huge knife and an outfit concealing your identity.. it’s not a chance meeting or unintentional murder….
The fact that him and his pathetic weasel buddy, Kato, had likely done some Crystal Meth, or smoke some crack, is only somewhat relevant.
OJ was jealous and was goin to “get that b…” period.
The Prosecutors could have gone for Misdemeanor Aggrevated Assault… and that jury wouldn’t have convicted. LOL….
Mike
