Phil Spector: Justice, American Style

Phil Spector, Justice Served, Justice Denied

What do you do with a girl named Maria? Compared to the question of what do you do with a prisoner named Phil Spector, the answer is challenging. In Spector’s case, you give him whatever he wants!

Spector was finally convicted of second degree murder of a defenseless woman, six years after the fact and almost two years after his first trial ended in a hung jury. All the while the accused killer was free on a one-million-dollar bail.

Sentenced to 19 years, the 69 year old Spector is serving his time in a private cell at the medium security California State Prison at Corcoran, in the “sensitive-needs” section.

However, it seems that in addition to being sensitive, he’s an unhappy camper/inmate. He wants some bennies, some amenities to make prison life more comfy and tolerable.

Word is he will get them: http://bit.ly/7s87R.

Anyway, it’s not as if he committed treason or a crime against society or anything like that. He merely snuffed out the life of a woman by putting one of his various pistols in her mouth and pulling the trigger, only once though.

Granted, too, his victim, model and actress Lana Clarkson, wasn’t the brightest crayola in the box . . .
