Phil Spector Found Guilty of 2nd-degree Murder

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

"And it seems to me, you lived your life/Like a candle in the wind/Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in/And I would've liked to know you/But I was just a kid/Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did."

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

I also think that Lana may have unconsciously set herself up to be killed by Phil, and that her surviving family members are not sure what led her to move in with him (she wanted to get herself more attention, but Phil was definitely a huge mistake), especially after our Barbarian Queen had been recovering after an accident in Christmas 2001 that led her to temporarily cancel her next career move (stand-up comedy).

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

What Lana could have done, before her untimely death: she could have dialed 911 the instant that Spector was to do his requested sexual favors from her. She would have complained to the authorities that Spector was threatening to kill her if she did not do any actions that he wanted from her.

She would have also requested a restraining order that would've prevented Spector from being within 150 yards of her. Spector would also be prohibited from the House of Blues that Lana was working for.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

"That's right Phil, you lost! And let me tell you what you didn't win: a 20-volume set of the Encyclopedia International! A case of Turtle Wax! And a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat! But that's not all! You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people! And you brought shame and disgrace on your family name for generations to come! You don't get to come back tomorrow! You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game! You're a complete loser!!!"

ladza fukin ticket

[lilmizzallyfull]

How did i get here from the song the long and winding road?!

[ritter89]

@lilmizzallyfull Spector produced that song, as well as the entire Abby Road album

[Albert18264]

On hearing the news Spector let rip with a monster of a fart followed through and proceeded to shit his pants , which he has kindly donated to the Rock and Roll hall of fame museum .

[stringmusic123]

This is the guy who had orchestrated The Beatles' legend, Paul McCartney's Long and Winding Road. Makes me sick!!

[MuffinWhaleMan]

Fuckin' shit!

[smp156]

fuck AP and their YouTube commercials

[ajay999999]

Is he gonna make an album about this?

[juror169]

how was all that coke working out for you?

[juror169]

how was all that coke?

[doowopman49]

his last big "HIT" tom d brick,nj

[NicoleLegendWalker]

Why he look lik dat

[modestmaus]

Also, is it alright if I just pretend/consider this Phil Spector of now to be a different guy of the Phil Spector of old who produced stuff like "Be My Baby", "River Deep, Mountain High", "Unchained Melody", etc? Because yeah, when we're talking the Phil in the video here, I hate him but at the same time when I hear things like "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" I'm always in awe & respect for -that- Phil.

[juror169]

@modestmaus i hear them on stage LIVE  with OUT spector - that is good not with a scumbag like him

[modestmaus]

"BAWWWW HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL BECAUSE I'M A SHALLOW PERSON WHO CARES SO MUCH ABOUT LOOKS AND HE'S FUGLY"

"BAWWWW HE SHOULDN'T BE IN JAIL BECAUSE OF HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY"

Can we agree there are nutters on both sides here in many of these comments? Okay, good.

[IkilledColMustard]

Wow, a California court finally convicts a celebrity! I didn't think it was possible.

[Sonnex83]

silly yank cunts

[MrB17FlyingFortress]

They should let him go. He is one of the greatest Americans of the 20th century. Give him a break.

[artistcolor]

@MrB17FlyingFortress What the heck? If you produce good music you can threaten women that you pick up with guns, and just have some of them die in your foyer a few hours later with a gun through their mouth? Nice. I hope some women in your family get picked up by murderous "greatest Americans"... I guess being great is a license to kill in your books.

[juror169]

@MrB17FlyingFortress should put you in his cell

[NeverMindTheBLX]

This pleasure some people have in seeing Spector behind bars is odious. Are some people's lives so empty and insignificant that they get a perverted kick out of seeing the fall of the rich and famous? Does it make them feel better about their own failings in life?

[assmuncher1984]

@NeverMindTheBLX - I thought the same. All these idiots who are so consumed by the murder - most are young kids who don't even know what he was famous for. So, we kind of have to excuse their ignorance.

They probably think it is just a "rich white guy" who killed someone.

Now, their insecurities come oozing out.

I have noticed a lot of "haters" on phil too.

I realize he killed someone, but please get to know their history.

Next, kids are not gonna know O.J. Simpson played football.

...Kids...

[joanninna]

Phil Spector should be executed... he has no remorse... I'm sure that he's someone's bitch... little bald evil man deserves what he gets!

[assmuncher1984]

@joanninna - What if to your surprise he was well liked in prison and he did not have a bitch and/or he did not have a dick rammed up his ass?

How does your insecurity feel now?

Most people don't get fucked in prison, just an assumption of the people who are too scared to commit crimes.

[assmuncher1984]

@assmuncher1984 - And before your insecurity comes oozing out, I will call myself out.. "Sure, coming from someone named assmuncher, go suck dick faggot"

That is what I usually hear, and much to their surprise, wait for it...Gasp! I munch the ass of women. Anal is a stimulation/pressure point that arouses stimulation.

Now that my name is out of the way, you can really understand what I said about Phil not taking dicks up his ass in prison.

Yet again, I inform people with logic and not fallacy.

[Clariccy]

@assmuncher1984 " just an assumption of the people who are too scared to commit crimes" fuckin idiot

[Berialavrenti]

fucking jew!

[EmpireLS56KW]

He should be charged for bad taste in RUGS! Hair pieces! he sounds like a fucking nutjob shooting a woman what an asshole.

[vanessahgirl1]

just looking at him i would vote guity to put this ugly pervert behind bars! i dont fucking care if he did all this great music! which do you care more about musiccccc or the fact that this clown might have killed someone? you decide. im gonna have nightmares of him tonight ewwwwww!!!!

[M3town3]

He's produced everybody; you name it, the stones, the beatles, tina turner. The first song he ever wrote actually became a No. 1 Hit in the US Billboard Charts.

[southperth22]

@M3town3 the beatles were already # 1 before spector came along so its not like he "made them" or anything.....this guy cant sing and he was able to get fame of the talent of the artists which he produced....

[Gandalf812]

Some of you act as if Phil Spector broke into your house and broke your grandma's leg. Come on, why do you even care if he was a douchebag? You didn't know him and he didn't know you. All you should care about is his amazing contribution to music. Maybe some of you are even jealous of his genius, that's why you are so happy to see him in that situation. I'm not justifying his acts in any way, what he did was really bad, but shut up about it.

[lensjockeyvideo]

I guess people just cannot take into consideration that they like to watch short men freak out and imagine them killing people and are fun to watch... and that growing up in a world where looks are so important and your dad killed himself and your mom ran around the house chasing you and your friend with a knife... and actually doing alot of crazy things while being one of the most controlled and talented person on the planet... yeah, I guess most people could handle that really well.

[zimmcat]

spector was a douchebag recluse who liked to act like a tuff guy with his guns

he will die in prison =)

[GLOBALRAPTUREdotcom]

spector is the man fought the system the mafia and all thats why all this

[scumgod13]

he threatened the Ramones with Guns when they tried to leave his house. Its on end of the century.

[MrFelixbracero]

Man he had such a good life.How could he through it all away?

[Andreas748]

He's got an appeal going and he still thinks he'll get out of jail. I can't see it happening, but you never know.

[scumgod13]

@Andreas748  Is he in jail now or free on bond awaiting his appeal?

[Andreas748]

@scumgod13 no, he's in Corcoran prison. The same prison as Manson. He's having a rough time of it too. They have him locked down 23 hours a day.

[fab42]

Didnt Phil produce John Lennons INSTANT KARMA???

Fitting....

[GLOBALRAPTUREdotcom]

phil spector set up by the same p[eople who killed kennedy, and shot lennon

[lasktguy]

GLOBALRAPTURE.oh goodie..a conspiracy theorist. Their screwed up and ridiculous comments are always fun to rad.

[scumgod13]

@lasktguy Fun to rad. YEA!

[scumgod13]

@GLOBALRAPTUREdotcom And Easy E, dont forget him, he was killed when he went to the white house. Somehow injected with HIV.

[Jamereia]

the defense should've come up with a better argument than suicide.

[MrKenny1878]

Its nice to see this nutcase is locked up and his money has bought him fuck all.There is justice in the U.S. judicial system after all.

[justcallmeassinine]

@MrKenny1878 I agree.He was worth much more than Oj Simpson and I was expecting him to be able to buy the judges and courts and jury.Maybe the justice still has some justice.In Mexico he would not have spent a single night in jail.Good comment on Spector.

[Bag0fRats]

Spector looks as queer as a football-bat

[MrRedFredSaid]

@Bag0fRats - hey don't blame it on us. He's as hetero as they come.

[Bag0fRats]

@MrRedFredSaid I didn't blame anything on you, Phil is a creepy weird-o

[wmanger]

Spector built his castle for many years, he ruined it in one night..Arrogance is a deadly sin..FEAR GOD or he will take evrything he had giveth you ..He never been rich but poor..

[TheBlackenedSky]

yet one of the most amazing and influential men of all time.

[CuervoBlack06]

Spector got his ass kicked in prison not long ago for running his mouth to the wrong person in the yard. I guess he's not so tough without his guns.

[MrRedFredSaid]

@CuervoBlack06 - well he surely deserves that and more.

[putarecords]

Theres no motive, no prints, no witnesses, nothing. If he killed her out of insanity then he should be in a jail for mentals, but thats not the case. Just a BS trial that they had years and years to coordinate in order to make a barbaric example out of someone who is eccentric and wildly sucessfull, and to make up for letting OJ run loose. Now Governor Fartkopf and the State of CA can collect on his assets. Nazis stealing art again. This verdict is more bunk than a hanging chad.

[lasktguy]

putarecords, are you an idiot? The first clue that he was guilty was what his driver told the police. He said Spector walked out the front door and said..I think I killed her. Nothing else needed in my opinion. Of course Spector lied and said he never said that during the trial but eveybody with any sense knows he did it.

[Cessrooster1]

@lasktguy I know he was crazy but would you randomly shoot someone you just met? No...and I don't think he did. If you looked at all the evidence from the forensics it turned out they actually supported suicide. The only thing which convicted him was the account of someone saying he heard him say he killed her as you said. Sounds a bit shifty.

[lasktguy]

@Cessrooster1, as some of the women said at the trial, Spector had pulled a gun on them when they had tried to leave. Maybe this was the same case and he went too far with it and actually shot her. We'll never knopw though. He'll never tell the truth about what happened.

[iwantmooredudley]

@lasktguy Ever consider why anyone would be stupid enough to admit to killing someone? Either Spector was so drunk/high he didn't realize what he was saying or the driver really did not understand what Phil said. Phil Spector seems like a complete asshole, but that isn't supposed to convict someone in a court of law. I don't know whether he's guilty or not, but everyone accused of a crime deserves (and is entitled to) a fair trial.

[macca63]

What a creep!

[mikemoair]

who does this clown think he is? OJ?

[LaspeziaPunk27]

I live right next to Phil Spectors Mansion.

Belive it or not his mansion is located in the center of a Middle Class East LA neighborhood. Everyone called his mansion "The Castle"

[lacatanglacatang]

yeah sure

[matt301273]

This is what Capitalism does. It takes regular people with talent and inflates their egos and makes them insane. This is why, although as good a guitarist as Clapton, Gilmour or Hendrix, I always kept my twanging to my bedroom...

[lasktguy]

This made me happy. I knew Lana personally and she was the sweetest person around. I'll even admit she wasn't the world's greatest actress but she was a good person so that's what counts. I hope Spector's time in jail is as miserable as hell.

[seagullpoet]

Be comforted.

[colleen2510]

@lasktguy I'm glad to see your comment on here. Reading some of these other comments you might start wondering if she committed suicide but somehow I get the feeling from your comment that you knew her and do not believe that she committed suicide. Most of the time even ppl close to us do not know when our friends r going to do that BUT we do hav some idea that they may hav been contemplating suicide. Yeah this guy is nuts and must've thought he could buy his way out of anything.

[MrKenny1878]

@lasktguy Yeah and i hope he rots in hell too the bastard.

[pseudokarma]

I would like 2 B certain he did it; if there were no prints on the weapon & she wasn't wearing a gloe then he did it; on the other hand ~ if her prints were on the gun that doesn't prove anything for certain either way because he could have placed it in her hand after the fact while wearing a glove.

[ironbuttermilk]

Being a talented genius is no excuse for hurting others. Being famous is no excuse either. He's where I wish OJ was.

[GLOBALRAPTUREdotcom]

have you been to free phil spector now . com,  its great sign the petition...

[MrKenny1878]

@GLOBALRAPTUREdotcom Fuck you and Phil Spector ya cunt.

[GLOBALRAPTUREdotcom]

i respect the man went with dignity knowing he didnt do it sure he probably gave her the gun and said you dont like your life kill yourself and when she did he was agased but the man is a legend and his songs are godly so fuck off...

[frtw4428]

His wife's probably written Spector off and fucking some stud in that huge mansion while Spector getting dicked by a bunch of inmates!

[MikeCLasVegas]

Phil- you should have pulled a "Roman Polanski" while you were out on bail.

[rossapher24]

clearly it WAS for the better! He was one of the 8 reasons why the beatles broke up.

[forsomereasonIhateu]

Who fucking cares? He is a fucking fruiton anyway.

[ethicomm]

Phil Spector has complained about life in a 3 x 7 foot cell. I've never heard of a prison cells in the USA being that small. Could Spector actually be referring to usable floor space. If he really is in a 3 x 7' cell then there would likely be no room for a toilet, sink and small desk. I'll bet in reality that his cell is more likely 8 x 12'.

[Coppertunes]

Do you measures cells as a hobby?

[ethicomm]

Any chance I can get.

[wfd57fatman]

Phil Spector has a new "Wall Of Sound"... the sound of the wall as his head bangs against it while his jail mates pound serious dick into his sorry ass! I believe it probably sound something like... THUMP THUMP THUMP PLERP THUMP PLERP THUMP... at least Phil won't have to ask for more pudding at the supper line! More pudding sir?... THUMP THUMP PLERP...

[TheStoicAgnostic]

even if that guy was innocent somehow

they're better off locking him up because he looks like he's going to kill somebody

dude is freaky looking

[Flame555555]

he looks like jar jar binks

[phoneix91]

Phil Spector, has to be one of the biggest dick holes in the history of the planet.

[M3town3]

@phoneix91If that's all you know about him you're a fool. On my mind he's not a murderer but a musical genius, for once examplevies, he insulted Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys because he [Spector] was on another level than him all the time. Besides, he has demons inside of him and I really don't see him as a murderer. Remember that almost everyone of us are murderes according to the Bible. And when his choises was to kill, his abilities could make anyone with a year, a huge fan, Brian fo example

[jitterbug121]

@phoneix91 I so agree!

[neilzep]

@phoneix91 nah a small man,who cant get women. Big dicks are on Wall Street and the Capital hills and Presidential palaces.

[phoneix91]

Phill Spector is a fucking asshole. He is proably somebody's bitch in jail , and getting dicked in the ass.

[droogless]

He pointed guns at the ramones, the beatles and lots of others, the guy was a nut cutlet who made joe pesci in goodfellas look like my father in laws nurse. Don't point anything at anyone, where your going Phil you may get it broken off !like a twig.

[HForHeiny]

clearly it was for the better. name a better ramones album than end of the century

[droogless]

He was a great record producer, was an inspiration to many high profile music legends including Brian Wilson, who was also terrified of him.

Phil Spector was a right sparker, if he lived in the U.K he would have been sent off to a big Victorian house for the bewildered and so deeply medicated he wouldn't be able to tie his shoelaces without drool falling out of his mouth.

[megasoldierman]

Hi looks like a right spakker!

[vigo894]

Don't bend over in the shower Phil. Adios.

[Udo9990]

I know ! Waving a gun around is the only way he could get a blowjob!

[Udo9990]

I wonder if Phil Spector and Ritchie Blackmore shopped at the same Wig store?

[Silvertrine]

Can millionares be guilty of murder? This is America what the hell is going on here how could Spector be guilty?

[judenihalmusic]

I Know! Fuck the American People and the Authorities for doing this. People are a bunch of Terrorists in this country. If they really want to procecute him, get him out of the country or kill him! Don't lock him up and waste his life, unless its his preference!

[judenihalmusic]

There is a very good reason why he shouldn't be hung. He is a brilliant man since the 70's and earlier and about the killing, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO!

[crumcon]

long time ago? He took someone's life for god sake!!!

ir doesnt matter if he were a good person in the past, he doesnt have the right to take someone's life.

[judenihalmusic]

I know that, but he should have been charged when he did it. Its too late and it doesn't matter now.

[afmafmafm]

Are you always this fucking stupid? Think before you speak, if you're capable of doing so.

[OCTOBERBABY7901]

I wonder what Phil's ex wife Ronnie Spector has to say about Phil's conviction? Is it any wonder why she ran far away from this man?!

[psyhobill5150]

im sure his new estate will be full of guest who would like to fuck him

[PicciProductions]

Good for him, he killed someone. He ruined my favorite bands last album with his Wall of Sound, too. (Let It Be)

[psyhobill5150]

that scumbag should be executed quickly, and lanas family should get his whole estate

[DominoEffect66]

Have fun picking up the soap you scrawny faggot, and now you'll be getting shots in your mouth too, not lead ones either.

[colemann76]

hahaha

[melhun61]

Money didn't help its little man syndrome. Creep. I agree it looks like an ape. A midget ape. Poor excuse of a man anyway.

[iown813]

good riddance scumbag

[stolennomenclature]

Being happy, having lots of friends and being healthy is everything, not legendary status and lots of money. Legendary status makes you arrogant and selfish, and money nakes everything too easy.

[Fretkillr]

I'm sorry but I can't help from saying that it's time for Phil Spector's "Wall of Jail". Justice is finally served.

[k3304]

What's Jayson Williams doing out on the street ???

[noidon30]

he looks like an ape

[gdoggydogdog]

i like his look

[crazyskater1614]

OWNED.

[casboy06]

what an idiot

[judenihalmusic]

I feel sorry for him.

[mikemccready7]

haha

he fucking killed someone and you feel sorry for him?

[judenihalmusic]

Well he was a musician and that was a long time ago. What about when America went into Iraq and slaughtered thousands of people over there? That happened around the same time this guy killed that girl. He doesn't deserve it, simply because he only killed ONE person and hasn't done any murder ever since 2003.

[realbutthole123]

So because he only killed one person and has not been killing since 2003 he should just go free? He has taken a human life and deserves punishment.

[starsfound]

See folks , MONEY can't get ya off on a murder charge. So all you, that thought OJ Simpson got off due to his money and hot shot attorneys, it had nothing to do with it. I T WAS ALL DO WITH THE BLACK JURY NOT WANTING A BROTHER TO GO DOWN!!!

[SonicMountain]

The guy had everything, legendary status, money, crazy hair - & throws it away for nothing. What an idiot.

[lumpagogo]

Yeah, you're right, Sonic. And Phil, you deserve the firing squad for insisting: "she shot herself."

You're a bad person, Philly. Know that, hey?

[MichaelMelendy]

Wow! It took 6 years, you can look at him.and tell...And He said "I think i just killed somebody" just afterwards...DUH!!!

[judenihalmusic]

People are just stupid. I don't understand why they would find out 6 years later and then punish him. Laws these days are stupid and deserve to be broken, the only way of defeating stupid laws in a capitalist country is for everyone to break them, so that the law would deplete.

[ciril2010]

He will hung himself in cell, and you cannot do anything about it, happy?

[signboyy]

it happened 6 whole years ago?

not so swift justice.

uhuhuhuhuh

[GiovannaNYC]

Spector looks like he's dead already.

[breezy2b]

About time ..

[ttoale]

Sick bastard

[ot63]

first

[Bananaandapples2008]

First Idiot

[judenihalmusic]

agreed
