ONO AND RICHARDS TO TESTIFY IN SPECTOR TRIAL
SECTION: MUSIC
LENGTH: 96 words
Rolling Stone KEITH RICHARDS and YOKO ONO will reportedly speak as character witnesses for PHIL SPECTOR during his upcoming murder trial.
The Wall Of Sound creator, 67, is set to face trial for the fatal shooting of actress LANA CLARKSON, who was found dead in his Alhambra, California mansion on 3 February 2003.
British newspaper The Sun claims Ono will speak on Spector's behalf during the upcoming trial in Los Angeles Superior Court - even though the producer famously fired a gun over her late husband John Lennon's head.
Spector has produced many albums for Lennon and Ono.

Didn't I read that Keith had an altercation with Mr. Spector in the past? or is my memory not correct. I wonder if he is doing it as a favor for Ronnie Spector, but wasn't she abused as well? I'm all mixed up now |

i wonder if they will grant keith the favor and allow drinking and smoking in the court room? |

Well I think Keith does know a little about having loaded guns lying around in bedrooms.....at least his X does.
But yeah it is kind of "tablodic" but it may be that the Defense team is getting kind of desperate. The only defense they really have is to convince the jury what a stand up guy Phil is and what a skank the victim was. They're going to be digging up every possible piece of dirt on her they can... (no puns intended.) and hope for a manslaughter rap.
Like JR Ewing said on an old Dallas rerun I watched the other day to a private investigator he hired.....
"I don't want dirt, I want skeletons."
And as far as Yoko goes, what could say...a one lady demonstration of the Wall of Sound?

In spite of all this bullshit, we're goddam lucky to have criminal defense lawyers like Gerry Spence, Roy Black and the rest. The state has EVERYTHING at their disposal to prosecute, the only thing a defendent has is the lawyer. |
