OK, But How Did She Get Your Gun?

I was never a fan of the "wall of sound" by overhyped and long time has been record producer Phil Spector, but I had heard here and there through the decades that he had a temper and a habit of drawing guns on people who angered him. So when a B-movie queen, Lana Clarkson, was found shot to death in his house, I assumed he was toast.

One should never underestimate the power of willing suspension of disbelief in a California jury. Here's his defense:

“A self-inflicted gunshot can be an accidental suicide, and I submit the evidence will show you that is the case,” Mr. Cutler said. “The important thing is at the time of the discharge of the gun, at the time the gun was fired, Philip was not holding that gun. We’ll prove that to you. She was.”

Accidental suicide. You don't hear about that every day. Can't wait for the evidence.
