Famous person on trial for murder in Los Angeles. Jury can’t find him guilty.

I’m shocked I tell you....shocked!

[evets]

GUILTY

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Trial took five months and they can’t make a definitive decision? That is too bad.

[jdub]

Californians are crazy.

[Shermy]

I heard a while back (Court Tv? Radio?) the way the charge is written, the jury could believe he shot her, but still vote not guilty to murder. Their are no lesser options.

[ElkGroveDan]

Californians are crazy.

Phil Spector is from The Bronx

...as in NEW YORK.

[I still care]

There’s a reason most people consider it the land of fruit and nuts.

And just think, all our educational media comes out of there.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I don't know why it's so hard for most people to understand that a majority of Californians - and a huge majority of the nutty ones - moved in from other states.

[Nonstatist]

I hope they retry him. Hes as guilty as dirt

[Uncle Hal]

I am not surprised.

7-5 split. (source: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/spector/)

Judge did not inquire which side had 7 votes (and it's proper that he didn't).

[MrLee]

I think he’s weird. That said, didn’t he have a white suit on with no blood splattered on it? If so, I go for innocent too.

[Leofl]

Another Hollyweird Fruit Loop gets away with murder.

[bill1952]

The JURY is from LA. and I do believe that cesspool is still part of your state.

And that is what the poster was talking about.
Hell, if I ever kill someone I sure as heck wouldn’t do it in Florida, I would go straight to Ca.

You must turn him loose."

Its not too hard to figure out the winner here. Its the high priced legal talent this murderer can afford.

[Joiseydude]

In the words of Lindsay Lohan: “I can do anything I want, I’m a celebrity”.

I won’t be surprised in the least if OJ walks too.

[Yaelle]

When I want to kill myself, I always make a point to go home with some guy who comes into my nightclub and hope he has a loaded handgun.

Californians are crazy.

Phil Spector is from The Bronx

...as in NEW YORK.

I think he means Californians, as in the dumbasses that make up the jury pool, particularly in Los Angeles.
