LOS ANGELES — An actress shot to death at Phil Spector's hilltop castle was the last of several women victimized by the legendary music producer in a decades-long series of alcohol-fueled confrontations, a prosecutor told jurors Wednesday as they began hearing the murder case. Prosecutor Alan Jackson's opening statement made it clear the case against Spector will rely heavily on the testimony of other women dating to the 1970s. Jackson outlined what he called a pattern of behavior in which Spector would become exceedingly drunk, take a woman to one of his residences, refuse to let her leave and then threaten her with a gun when she refused to stay. He said Spector is someone "who, when he's confronted with the right circumstances, when he's confronted with the right situations, turns sinister and deadly." "The evidence is going to paint a picture of a man who on February 3, 2003, put a loaded pistol in Lana Clarkson's mouth _ inside her mouth _ and shot her to death," Jackson told the nine-man, three-woman jury. The prosecutor showed a photograph of Clarkson slumped in a chair, her face covered with blood. Spector appeared tense during the televised proceeding as the prosecution laid out the murder case against him.

Ouchie.
....and is that a pic of post facial surgery for Marcia?
What is up with the ruby red lipstick anyway.
Kinda clashes with his yellow page boy wig.
It is like the white version of the Micheal Jackson look.
I don’t see myself spending much time here at this point just wanted to see if a FR thread could put some life into the trial. : )
I want to tune in to the new show of Suburban Crimes (or whatever it is titled)
Monday at 9:30 West coast time.
Two murders in Napa California seems interesting having grown up an hour south of.
Also it is such a tiny weenie town or was.
Phil is staring down in a trance and looks like he is possibly contemplating taking his own life.
He does not look well.
Wonder if his defense has those big beefy body guards babysitting him around the clock to insure he makes it through the trial.
I am sure they want all there bills paid in full at the end of the day.
LOL Ya don’t miss a beat when it comes to humor around here.
That was good.
Thanks for the ping! The DC madam list is going to be released this Friday, so stay tuned. And Spector, well, the defense maintains they will prove his innocence scientifically.
It’s too easy to get into these murder mysteries and avoid threatening stories like the one you reference. The Spector story is in the “safe zone”.
I read that the shaking is due to the medications he’s on now. (Or alcohol withdrawal?)
Where is the pic you’re talking about?
Good catch!
Or Gollum: 
I don’t have a link.
I saw it shown a few times on CTV.
Are you still keeping up with the trial? If so, I’d like to hear your comments on the Dr. Lee impeachment potential. Looks like this celebrity doc is being called on the carpet.
