Phil Spector ~ May 26 To =

[tampa-mom]

I agree Phil Spector WILL be freed on appeal and what a great day that will be:thumbup:

Nic

The house has landed and you're not in Kansas anymore...follow the yellow brick road my little pretty. You and Phil can celebrate with the Wizard.

:seeya:Hi roytoy! good to see you! His appeal will fail...JF has made sure of that! He hasn't been a judge for all those years by making mistakes!

Isn't it great to see so many of us who posted together during the first trial here today? Where's FloA?

God bless Sprocket if not for her we wouldn't have known much about PS2.

[tartangirl]

Hey, hope I have not broken any infringements by posting this, he just did a tweet that he is going to be there. I hope he is right, says he will be in the courtroom.:rolleyes:

Thisbe is on line once again ....catching up. Big shout out to ma peeps from Spector I---Kellabeck, Barskin, Kennedy, Anakerie, GP Spector, and Tartangirl.:w00t:
Its been a long couple of years and have stayed in touch with this case by reading Sprockets amazing blog,Trials & Tribulations.
Does anyone know if Sprocket will be blogging or twittering or whatever? I cant believe no outlet will be showing this by live feed. Grr...:angry:
Hi Thisbe!

I'm sure you've gotten an answer already... Sprocket is there and hoping to win a seat in the lottery... Got my fingers crossed!

Hello to everyone else too... The long awaited day has finally come and we'll know soon how long Phil has to wait before he can hope for a parole hearing!

[roytoy]

it's like old home week. glad to see the nics from phil1.... most of them, anyway.

finally jutice will indeed be served. i want to see his incoming mug shot. if lana's dignity was stripped from her in death, so shall his be in just punishment.

[Themis]

Made it just in time after a beautiful sunny day hiking with my dd.
And now I´ll get my Spector bedtime sweets.
What a day!

Good evening from europe.

LL
Good evening, LL. Good to have you join this message board.
My computer clock says it is now 10:29 A.M. in California. 'Themis'

[logbump]

I see the gang's all here!:thumbsup:

[FallenAngel♥]

Rachelle just showed up. That little girl gives me the creepys.

[FallenAngel♥]

I can't believe HLN's not even talking about PS :(

I appreciate the info and update, Barskin&co.

It really is too bad there is NO live streaming available from any internet source.

:thumbsup: Thanks Barskin. I will switch back and forth from Sprockies Blog to this page. Am so sad to be missing the Clarkson families Victim Impact Statement to the court. I suppose someone will tape it for replay later today.

[barskin&co.]

Rachelle?:ohmy::w00t:
JMO

I don't think so. She mentioned Rachelle by name, separately.

[roytoy]

what is there to pace over? it's not like he's getting an opportunity for another redo.

[vonna]

Rachelle just showed up. That little girl gives me the creepys.

She had to bring the wig she styled for him. Wonder which one she chose?

[kennedy06]

A reporter onsight at this local station

http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/index

I shouldn't laugh but I wonder if Chelle was responsible for feeding and cleaning up after those 10 dogs and those 2 big iguanas that had their own room. One large tank!!

JMO

[Anakerie]

It´s 07:34pm here.

Pls can someone update? When does it start? Can´t wait.
Well, we all waited long enough for this, don´t we?

I read they won´t have it live on the Internet. So I can´t see
anything here.:cursing:

LL
Hi Lucky... It's 10:34am here in California... The hearing is supposed to start at 11am... I'm sure they'll start letting people in the courtroom soon.

Sprocket says there is a pool camera there, but they will not be streaming it.. I am guessing that all we'll get to see are short little video clips here and there... **sigh**

[FallenAngel♥]

She had to bring the wig she styled for him. Wonder which one she chose?

well i would love to see the fro again :thumbsup:

[Snicker]

She was mentioned earlier.

"Number one fan, she is nervously pacing by the ladies room"

Who is his number one fan other than spectorfan8?

I believe Sprocket's referring to the woman she described at 9:07 am this morning:

"In the lobby I saw a young woman wearing a "Team Spector" button with a woman friend who is wearing a "back to mono" button. Right now she is sitting directly across from me in the hall. The "Team Spector" bottle blond fan is a study in color. She is wearing a blue gray print dress with a gray sweater, wide black belt, Pippi Longstocking knee-high, black and gray striped socks with open-toed blue suede heels as well as carring a large hot pink plastic purse."

[Ellie]

Yeah, there's a reliable source for you! Now, Officer Beatrice Rodriguez said this in a sworn statement on 2/03/03:

I then proceded to clear the lower level of the west wing of the residence. As I proceded to do so, I heard Spector yelling, "What's wrong with you guys? What are you doing?" As I continued with my search, again I heard Spector yell, "I didn't mean to shoot her. It was an accident." "I have an explanation for this."

From the document entitled:

Post arrest statements attached to Notice of motion and motion to exclude post-arest statements of defendant; memorandum of points and authorities
http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org/court...-03%2009:48

THIS...all by itself... aside from the mountains of other evidence pointing to Phil Spector's guilt, is what sealed the deal for me. I have referred to this document a hundred times in my posts here... but it's always good to see it again.

[vonna]

Will he get to wear it?


:scared:

Yes as JF gave his permission.

[Anakerie]

She had to bring the wig she styled for him. Wonder which one she chose?
And she apparently carried the wig over to him in a pink suitcase? lol

[NotAgain]

looking forward to a very long sentence and justice for Lana and her family.


hope the :chicken: enjoys his roomie for the next 20 years.

[roytoy]

well i would love to see the fro again :thumbsup:

ditto on the fro but there is just something so sweet about the page boy.


he will have to give them up for his CA state incoming mug shot. that ought to be a corker.

[Themis]

T & T Update .......... HOORAY !!

[FallenAngel♥]

YAY Sprocket gets a seat :thumbsup:

[Snicker]

Sprocket just said she thinks she'll get a seat in the courtroom! :thumbsup:

[Anakerie]

WooHoo! Sprocket just reported that she "pulled her only string" and she'll have a seat in the courtroom once all the media are in!

[kennedy06]

I believe his #1 fan is a teacher that would show up when school was out for the day (gym teacher??) from what I had read on T & T and maybe others that posted here when they could attend the trial. JMO

[oodi]

And she apparently carried the wig over to him in a pink suitcase? lol

I just looked at Sprockets 10:16 post again... no requests for seats for the family??? I thought Harriet Ryan's article said that a statement would be read by Donna Clarkson. :confused:

[summer4meplz]

why why why why why is there no livestream! :cursing: that is SOOOO MEAN!!!!!

[True2Blues]

Yes as JF gave his permission.

Let him enjoy it, because his prison mugshot will be all over the place soon enough.

I'm sure Donna will be there.. Maybe that means that the extended family has elected not to be there? That confused me too, because Lana's Mom and Sister have been so consistent about being there...

[♫Rock*Star♫]

I don't believe he did it either. Here's what Mr Spector's bodyguards said yesterday

http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/entertainment&id=6837219

Here's what convicted murderer Phil Spector said not long after he shot and killed Lana Clarkson...

"I didn't mean to shoot her. It was an accident." "I have an explanation for this."

Turns out he had no explanation whatsoever.

And a thank you to barskin&co. :seeya:

[roytoy]

cannot wait to see this. he took lana's dignity away when he murdered her. he needs to feel the pain.

********************************

Alas Ellie, no live stream or reporting unless TruTV pulls a last minute surprise. They would have a final hour of their broadcast (Banfield/Ford) to do it. (11am)

MSM hasn't shown much interest in this 2nd trial.

I did try with letters.

T/T will be trying to be seated as well as reportedly, Jayne who was planning on attending. Haven't heard from My-2-cents lately. Expect Harriet Ryan to be there.

HNN has been running a 30-second synopsis this morning.


bearwds

Hi There . . . NO, sorry, but I won't be at the courthouse today for sentencing. I have been MIA for the past few months. I was caring for my Mom who was battling cancer. She lost that battle and passed away this month - her service was 2 weeks ago today. So I have not been able or interested in trekking down to Rm 106 for the media circus that is surely taking place down there right now. Although I am very interested in knowing from others, what takes place today in court.

Hopefully Sprocket will get in - as we know she will be very detailed with her feedback. If not, her friends that do get in OR at the very least, her good rapport with Truc Do & AJ will get her the details, afterwards, that we are hoping to hear. I am betting though, she'll get a seat for sure - the courtroom gals there are very supportive of her and her everyday attendance of the trial - I am sure they'll give her a seat if there's room, without Sprocket having to rely on her "red ticket" getting randomly pulled - and that is probably a very fair decision, IMO.

Louis and Frieda are also there today - Hopefully Louis will pop in at InSession later on and make a post . . . although this must be a very difficult time for him, regardless of his relationship with his Dad - - he is obviously a very concerned son (he can't help it if his Dad committed this horribile act - but he still cares for his Dad) and I can only imagine that it would be very upsetting to see a loved one sentenced for a murder - so understandable, he may be in no mood to post on this forum, following this afternoon's proceedings.

And hopefully Jayne, our wonderful IS poster and talented lawyer will make it to the courtroom and INSIDE as well - IF SO . . .we know she will provide GREAT FEEDBACK and INSIGHT to today's happenings down there. I HOPE YOU'RE THERE TODAY JAYNE AND THAT YOU GET IN.

The "live" courtroom is a very interesting opportunity and experience and I recommend it to all of you "trial/crime followers", regardless of whether its the Spector trial or some other case. I personally found it so interesting, viewing the proceedings in person. I highly recommend it - at least once.

HLN just said they are covering it "after the break" but one never knows with them.

Per T & T, Dennis Riodan is there. Guess he flew down from San Francisco, CA to be with his buddy, Doron Weinberg. They each have offices in the same small building. [JMO * Themis]

Hello to everyone else too... The long awaited day has finally come and we'll know soon how long Phil has to wait before he can hope for a parole hearing!
They should make her exempt from the lottery and give her a seat. She has been an important and consistant trial blogger who shows great respect for the court and the empoyees at the courthouse. Why should the johny-come-lately types have an equal opportunity to get in?

No motion for a new trial. And they claim convicted murderer Phil Spector is innocent.

Judge Fidler points out that the defense has not filed a motion for a new trial.

So Riordan asks for a new trial.

Judge Fidler denies. :thumbup:

Has bumbling Baez been consulting with convicted murderer Phil Spector's defense team?

Restitution paid - that's something. Is that normal? Sounded like something the judge didn't expect to be so forthcoming.

PS pony's up the bucks, right now - 2 checks. Love it! Its a drop in the bucket - wait till the civil suit!

I pray for both brothers, this has to be hard on them, mo All brothers - Donte is a brother also. PS doesn't care about any of them - that we (or they) know of.

Phil looks completely out of it. He must be on some heavy meds.

Phil looks completely out of it. He must be on some heavy meds.

omo

That's what I think too. I imagine that will change when they get him to the prison and assess his medical needs, rather than his wants.

[FallenAngel♥]

I don't think Phil will ever see Freedom again :thumbsup:

[witchywoman]

Im outty folks, have to peep in l8r. hubbys wanting me to go to lowes with him..

c ya'll l8r


justice for sweet Lana

[roytoy]

that's the last we will be seeing of him for awhile....


IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

[kennedy06]

My computer crashed:cursing:

All I caught was some fines:cursing:

Par for my day:rolleyes:

[Anakerie]

Anyone else find it interesting that Weinberg requested that Phil be transferred from the jail to the state facility "forthwith"? I can understand about the medical records traveling with him... I guess Phil didn't like the jail and is anxious to get into state custody???

Makes me wonder whats in those letters about his treatment that I thought I heard mentioned at the end....

[penguin01]

I think a lot of us predicted 19 yrs. Great job folks. Great job Fidler. He rocks. omo

:thumbsup:
Yes - that was brief but very satisfying. Kudos to NBC for letting us see it. PS didn't even glance back to see Rachelle or anyone before he left the courtroom did he?
He really did look just out of it.

[roytoy]

That's what I think too. I imagine that will change when they get him to the prison and assess his medical needs, rather than his wants.




exactly my thoughts..that was all of weinberg's urgent requests for hs medical records to get transfered. sorry, no fun drugs in prison. ain't gonna happen.

he has prolly been getting happy pills in county jail but that's the end of that.

[Anakerie]

Did Rachelle speak? I was away from the computer for the beginning.

lana's family?
The only one that got up to speak was Lana's Mom, Donna... And the stupid sound cut out on the stream!!!!!!!!!!!

[penguin01]

Im outty folks, have to peep in l8r. hubbys wanting me to go to lowes with him..

justice for sweet Lana HUH? You must be a texter or a twitterer.

[newsjunkie]

Did they mention what prison he goes to?

[vonna]

Judge Fidler points out that the defense has not filed a motion for a new trial.

So Riordan asks for a new trial.

Judge Fidler denies. :thumbup:

Has bumbling Baez been consulting with convicted murderer Phil Spector's defense team?

For two smart lawyers - wasn't it dumb not to ask for a new trial????

[cherylt]

It doesn't disappoint me. I know a lot of people wanted to gloat - it never really mattered to me. Many convicted people are allowed street clothes at sentencing hearings.
Judge Fidler is a very fair Jurist.


Not fair - others in same position do not get to wear street clothes. But, oh well, I believe he got the max right? 18 yrs minimum?

[Anakerie]

Yes - that was brief but very satisfying. Kudos to NBC for letting us see it. PS didn't even glance back to see Rachelle or anyone before he left the courtroom did he?
He really did look just out of it.
He's probably under the influence of meds... again.. This time though, for the surgery on the polyps in his throat that they said he had removed on Wednesday....

[Auburngirl]

Justice finally served! It's been a long time coming. God bless Lana's family and friends.

[coinoutlet]

Did they mention what prison he goes to?

Whineberg has probably arranged a stay at a medical facility when he gets into State custody...JMO

[hiitsme]

Justice finally served! It's been a long time coming. God bless Lana's family and friends.

Ditto! I do hope that the lives of the Clarksons will return to some semblance of normalcy now that Lana's murderer will never be free to harm another innocent human being.

[Scampi]

19 years to life, a death sentence for harvey spector, imo.

God bless Lana and all those who loved and admired her, may she rest in peace now.

[wasapi]

All brothers - Donte is a brother also. PS doesn't care about any of them - that we (or they) know of.

Unless you know them quite well, that is a broad, sweeping, and innapropriate statement to make.

[True2Blues]

I don't see prison being more pleasant, but it suits me that he's off. Once they get him in there and evaluate all of the drugs he takes, he won't be allowed to spend his days drugged to the nines. He isn't going to be a happy camper. Which is what he deserves.

I found it interesting too. I wonder what the advantage of that is. :confused:

[Themis]

Yes, although there was transmission problems at the beginning, I did not see Spector even look back at his wife. If he did on arrival, I missed it.

Now, Riordan takes over -- he is THE appellate specialist.

I'm guessing Spector, according to Weinberg's 'forthwith' request, is anxious to get out of county jail where he knows and likely been treated as what he is....just a temporary number. Spector's next move, probably with Weinberg and Riordan help, is to seek out the 'easiest digs' for his next 19 years--the big emphasis of having Spector's medical records travel with him.

That is why, IMO, Weinberg really, really wanted that gun enhancement to be only 3 years. Thank goodness, Mr. Jackson was ready with excellent arguments to add 4 years on the gun enhancement.

[JMO * Themis]

If he just had surgery I imagine the state facility has better medical care then the county jail.

Well said. Wow, can't believe this is over. (well, kinda - we know there will be appeals)...

:rose: RIP Lana and I hope her family can start to heal now...

[Details]

Not fair - others in same position do not get to wear street clothes. But, oh well, I believe he got the max right? 18 yrs minimum?Actually - I think they were saying this was a not uncommon thing - to let them wear street clothes.

19 years to life.

(darn, darn, darn)!

[oodi]

If he just had surgery I imagine the state facility has better medical care then the county jail.

I would normally think the same thing, except I had read that his surgery was done at UCLA... I don't know that the state facility would be any better.

[cherylt]

Actually - I think they were saying this was a not uncommon thing - to let them wear street clothes.

19 years to life.


Maybe in CA it is not uncommon? We have all seen other sentencing / the defendant in jail clothes...

Thanks for the info, 19 years! If he lives to be 87 or so...
I wonder if he is on suicide watch now!

[Ellie]

He's probably under the influence of meds... again.. This time though, for the surgery on the polyps in his throat that they said he had removed on Wednesday....

.... Wait... didn't they say he had that done at the start of the 2nd trial, thus a week or 2 long delay? I wonder if they said he had it done again to try and delay sentencing, but that wouldn't make sense based on them wanting him moved STAT. Huh, dunno....

He looked pretty much the same as always, albeit a bit more pale maybe. While they were going over everything I thought he seemed pretty alert... it wasn't until when JF handed down the sentence that Phil's eyes started to close, etc. (Did anyone else notice that every time he blinked his cheek would kind of twitch? Strange.) I just can't help but wonder what's going through his mind... I wondered if, while watching him just now, he thought at all about that night and what happened... if Lana even crossed his mind...

Well, this is closure I guess. After a few days of this board being busy with posts about the sentence it'll die down and eventually go away until the civil trial starts and who knows when that'll be... But I wanted to say I've "met" some really great people here and it's been my pleasure posting and getting to "know" you.

[Themis]

Probably the first time Ronnie can breathe easy in thirty years.

RIP Lana

imo
I agree with your post 100%! Ronnie has lived in fear all these years.

RIP Lana

[tartangirl]

Having not actually seen it yet, I am still sort of numb. Not sure just how I thought I would feel. Of course nothing will bring back Lana, but this will have to do for now!

Still gotta say this for a bit yet...been with me too long!

~as always, Justice for Lana and those who love her ~

I hope some were feeling the Joy only true Justice can bring today ~

Thank You Alan Jackson, Truc Do and Pat Dixon, you are all a top act!:wub: :wub:

I am not sure of this but he was in jail and would have been taken to UCLA for the surgery then back to the jail. He wouldn't have been going back to UCLA from the sentencing and followup care would not consist of much in a jail.
The infirmary in a state prison would be far better equipped. JMO

Off to read sprocketts blog. I am SO DONE with Phil Spector now.

Thanks everyone who had input on this case. See ya on other boards :thumbsup:

[KaraokeDiva]

Wig and suit. Extremely drugged up. He refused to speak.

They will file a swift appeal that will be swifly rejected.

omo

:laugh:Thanks for the info. I wonder why he got to wear a suit as he no longer has the presumption of innocence, nor was there a jury present. Even more confusing is why he got to wear his wig....

[Themis]

Regarding Mr. Jackson's excellent arguments for the 4 year gun enhancement in response to Weinberg's almost desperate attempt to get only 3:

One point Mr. Jackson made was the 5 women witnesses/victims whose horrific experiences at the hands of Spector PLUS Lana there were 11 additional documented cases that the State had identified and Spector's threats with guns go back 40 years.

I wonder if we, the public, will ever hear about them -- probably not but I sure would like to. [JMO * Themis]

[warhorse46]

Sentenced to 19 years to life which means he MUST serve 19 years before he is eligible for a parole hearing.

Beth Karas is saying in California parole isn't granted the first time and PS won't see them until 19 years have passed, so he isn't going anywhere. It's so good to see Beth reporting on the end to this case.

Does anyone know where I can go to get a live stream on his sentencing. Or maybe just a rerun some how. I live in mississippi and cant get s..t out here in the bush.

[warhorse46]

Wow, Beth just said he will be in his late 80s when he sees the parole board for the first time and they will not agree to let him out. He will be rejected.

:thumbsup:


I think PS will be dinning on Bologna sandwiches frequently very soon & for a very long time in the future. Hope he likes bologna.

[oodi]

Since the sound was cutting in and out, I'm not sure on this, but it's what I think I heard...

Before pronouncing sentence, I thought I heard JF say he had received a letter from someone with the last name of Lozzi (didn't catch the first name) and asked the attys if they wanted to read it. Neither of them had any interest in reading it.

The name seems familiar... does anyone know who this might be?

[kaa]

That's too soon!


Oh I really wouldnt worry he'll probably be dead in 19 years anyway.

[True2Blues]

Can anyone explain the conversation about the letter from someone named Lozzi, I believe?

I wonder about that too. The Judge said it was a sentence recommendation, but that he wasn't giving it any consideration and asked if anyone else wanted to see it. No one did and it was dropped. I wonder who Lozzi is and why they thought they were entitled to a say in sentencing?

[warhorse46]

That's too soon!


I believe for him the 19 years is a life sentence. I don't think he will live that long in prison.

[True2Blues]

I think PS will be dinning on Bologna sandwiches frequently very soon & for a very long time in the future. Hope he likes bologna.

I hope he hates it! LOL

It was wonderful to share this day of justice with so many old friends. As horribly long as it seemed to us, can we imagine the wait it was for Donna and Fawn Clarkson. Finally today, Lana's mother got to speak about the real woman. The truth prevailed today.

This could have been over so long ago. So much money and time has been wasted. I wonder how long before we see books from the jurors on this.
I wonder what is Rachelle going to do. Well she did put herself in this matter.

If it is the same man,You can find him on utube, if you search his name Edward Lozzi

He was a friend of Lana's and I believe but don't quote me a publicist or something like that. He spoke up on a few interviews back when and also mentioned her on his site someone had connected us up with sometime ago.

You can bet on it! Spector will claim he cannot eat the 'regular' bologna served in prisons because it contains pork. IMO, there are definite reasons for Spector's very recent claim of needing a yarmulka. I believe Spector (with Weinberg's assistance) will need lots of special treatment and exemption from regular rules due to his being Jewish; a kosher diet is just the first. [JMO * Themis]

Hey Ms. FankieBones, girl..
Good to see you. Did you see the sentence? Quick but to the point.
At Spectors age he got life without parole, basically.
He'll be in his late 80's before he can consider going in front of the parole board.
He got 19 years and Lana got eternity.:sad:

I think it's his late 70's in which he'll get out, isn't it? I believe they said he's in his late 50's now.

JMO
Right, and prison is not intended to bear any resemblance to a 'hotel or private hospital.'
But facilities vary a great deal within California's prison system. One example is the Protective Housing Unit (PHU) at Corcoran Prison.

Inmates can have a radio and a television in their cell and nightlights are allowed.
They can use the day room to read, play chess or watch television. The exercise yard is available for about 5½ hours a day. There’s a basketball court and a bar for chin-ups, but no free weights. Residents can shower daily. They have access to a law library and may receive weekend visitors for as long as five hours a day. They share one telephone and make calls during certain hours. By 8:45 p.m., they must be back in their cells, but there’s no official “lights out” time.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ID/8196051/

P.S. The PHU has a capacity for 47 but 4 years ago only held 21.

[Thisbe II]

I seem to remember that during Spector I someone gave me great advice on how to make my House look like I had actually been doing something other than looking at the live feed and posting all day.

Can anyone tell me who the woman was who sat between Spector's attorney's today?

[NotAgain]

does rs have no shame?

[klock777]

I think it's his late 70's in which he'll get out, isn't it? I believe they said he's in his late 50's now.


I read he was 69

[True2Blues]

Good to see all my favourite Ya Ya's here. I'd like to salute Beth, too.
What a great job's she's done!

Hi Frankie! Good to see you.

[oodi]

does rs have no shame?

In a word... NO!

[barskin&co.]

They forgot to mic the podium. I guess the news people there just did not think about it until it was too late. I was there in the courtroom today.

Hey, #9! :seeya: Thank you so much for you continued dilligence and commitment in this case. After the frustration of trial one, you've stuck it out to see justice finally prevail.

[True2Blues]

Now that he claims to be Jewish....He will recieve a kosher diet...no balogna.

Bad luck for Phil, they make beef bologna now and for all he knows, it may be kosher. In fact, they do make kosher beef bologna.

[klock777]

Does anyone know where I can go to get a live stream on his sentencing. Or maybe just a rerun some how. I live in mississippi and cant get s..t out here in the bush.

If you're referring to the woman with the short, black haircut - - that was Weinberg's paralegal, Susan. She sat at the defense table with Weinberg throughout the trial.

Not a smidgeon.

[Justice4All2]

Finally, justice too long delayed for Ms. Clarkson and her family and friends (I mean her true friends, not the likes of Pumkin Pie ... shudder).

:thumbsup:

With a minimum of 19 years in prison before he's eligible for parole, which almost never happens on a first go-round, he'll be 88 years old when he next breathes the fresh air of freedom. Unless he's sturdier than he looks, that's about the equivolent of a death sentence anyway. After all he's not going to be pampered with preferential treatment in prison.

His only hope of walking out of prison on his own two feet is if his lawyers get lucky on appeal, which isn't likely. Fiedler seems like a very careful judge to me. He's not about to give them grounds for any such thing.

[barskin&co.]

Yes, and Phil, not unlike Hebrew National®, will now be answering to a higher authority.

[NotAgain]

In a word... NO!

that pretty well summarizes it. :scared:\


how some people sleep at night amazes me

[oodi]

LOL... I don't know how she has the nerve to show her face during the light of day, let alone sleep at night.

[barskin&co.]

Well, she probably has access to some heavy medication.

[tartangirl]

I seem to remember that during Spector I someone gave me great advice on how to make my House look like I had actually been doing something other than looking at the live feed and posting all day. (spray pine sole, give quick wipe downs of the counters etc during court breaks.) I came to understand what the word Obsession meant. So it made me feel good to see everyones names.....Frankiebones---Didn't mean to leave you out of the list of posters I remember. Hells bells U probubly taught me the speed cleaning trick......:blink:

These are all good ideas, hope you have some Sara Lee in the freezer and slap your face after putting hand in the flour. Makes it look like you have toiled over the baking all day...just a little hint..:rolleyes:

I am afraid I am still basking in the afterglow of the sentencing and verdict of last month. I will move on..I will move on..I will move on...eventually! :smile:


~as always, Justice for Lana and those who love her ~

Talk about people with dedication and committment to this case- thank you, tartangirl for your constant signoff. Justice for Lana and all those who love her! Yes, indeed.

I have thought of you so often this past month. You have had a lot to deal with. Continued good thoughts and prayers your way. :rose: Bunches of these little roses your way from me for doing so much for us with your stellar reporting on PS2.

[NotAgain]

It amazes and amuses me to see so many people, who have had no "faith" in anything other than themselves, suddenly find religion in prison. Sharon Tate's murderers come to mind.

Well, what else is there to do in prison? Oh, well. As long as a person has breath, the paths of Faith are open. I have no right to judge. I'm just a little "leery" of these conversions.

But my opinion is nothing. A greater Power is in charge and knows the true belief of people.

amen :thumbsup:

[Staceylee]

A special thanks to Frankiebones also who did so much work for us during the first trial.

A special thanks also to Betsy Ross for keeping us in the know during this trial.


Justice For Lana At Last...... Yippppppppppie

[Thisbe II]

Does anyone know what happened to Michelle Blaine? Will she eventually write a book about her experience as Phil's assistant?

[tartangirl]

Talk about people with dedication and committment to this case- thank you, tartangirl for your constant signoff. Justice for Lana and all those who love her! Yes, indeed.

Right back at you!
Some nics stand out and I do look for those posts as my compass of what is happening each day. I wish we could all gather and have one heck of a celebration but, for some reason today that just does not feel right, not just yet! :mellow: This is for the most part a kind and very clever bunch of posters. They will be missed. I have done nothing but speak my heart each day.

This will be with me yet for a bit...

~as always, Justice for Lana and those who love her ~

[Daisy'sMom]

I would like to take a moment and offer my sympathies to My2Cents. I can only imagine what you have gone thru. I lost my mom when I was twelve and still carry that loss in my heart to this day. Please know that you are in my prayers.

[Daisy'sMom]

I hope everyone is as pleased as I am about PS serving his time. Just wanted to say bye for now. It's been a long time and I have made many friends. Thanks for your knowledge and your humor.
Don't forget when you shut your lights off tonight, say a prayer for Lana and her family, and the Spector sons.
See you at the next trial. I am thinking of following Drew Peterson's trial. God Bless everyone.

[Anakerie]

:biggrin: This was my first case to follow on the boards and all of ya'll were so kind to this newbie. I learned so much from all the old hands; Warhorse, Tartangirl,Kellabeck, Sedonia Sunset (where is she?), Anakerie, Kennedy and others. What other trials will you guys be following after this one?

I cant believe this one is over........:mellow:
Believe it or not, PS1 was the first trial I followed on these message boards too, Thisbe.. The folks here taught me a lot back then! (And I'm still learning! lol)

It's amazing that this one is finally over, except for the civil trial... I have no clue which one I'm going to follow next.. I'm watching the Casey Anthony events along with a lot of you. I'm also trying to keep track of the Cantu case because it's so close geographically to me. I don't know which one is going to grab my interest now... :shrug:

[tartangirl]

I will move on as well. But this will stay a part of me. How curious.

Thank you for your Friendship, Lass!

CJ (of the Clan MACLAREN)

I can think of a lot of reasons why this one is so close to my heart, but none to share right now. :smile:

You and I are not going anywhere...so no good-byes...there are other murder cases to post to on this message board and we will see each other probably more than we like..LOL :laugh:

Thanks to you too! CJ...keep those bells handy, you are gonna need them! LOL

~as always, Justice for Lana and those who love her ~

[bearwds]

Well, Whineberg tried to pull a fast one, right to the end.

He didn't ask for a mistrial and had to be prodded by Judge Fidler. Failure to ask would have been grounds of incompetent counsel and basis for appeal.

Sharp going there Judge.

[Themis]

The sentence is even in the german news now.

I have to say a big thank you to T&T. Cannot post on her blog but maybe she´ll read here. She never let us down and promised to try to cover this one for us.
She did very well.
So, a big THANKS to her. Great Job!

LL
jmo
LL: no kidding? Wow, it surprises me that there is that much interest about Spector in Germany; thanks for letting us know that.
I know that T&T reads here so she will see your appreciation.
I realize it is quite late (or very early!) there; glad you found this message board. It is a good one.

And to Daisy'sMom: I believe justice was finally meted out today. It is a shame it took so long but the State of California perservered, and the efforts of Messrs. Dixon, Jackson and Trac Do are much much appreciated by this writer. I already have done what you suggested but will do so again tonight. Maybe I will see you when Drew Peterson trial occurs. Bye now, and thank you.

THANK YOU - - Everyone was so supportive, kind, caring and comforting during this difficult time in my personal life. My "posted THANKS" on this forum never seemed to express clearly my heartfelt appreciate - but I hope it was understood, just the same.

Since you use the nic TARTANGIRL, I thought I would share this "tid-bit" of info with you - since it might be my last opportunity. I too, "my2cents", has her own TARTAN. Yes, I am a Scottish lass on my Dad's side of the family and on my husband's side - WHoaaa . . .we are talking BIG TIME links to Scotland . . . I even have my own OVEN MITT made out of our (Tartan) Family Name Plaid . . .ha, ha - - - it was a GIFT, I didn't buy it. Just thought I would share that tid-bit. LOL. SORRY CW - I am wayyyyy O/T aren't I?

[Exiled.]

That's too soon!

Hi Vonna:

Do you believe he will outlive a 19 year prison sentence? 19 years is a life sentence for him.

imo... of course.

[Thisbe II]

Me too. I live in Lake Co. which is due North of Chicago proper and Will Co where Peterson is charged is due South. THere have been rumblings from the defense of changing the venue. If it were held here I would love to attend portions of it in person and perhaps report back to the boards.

The end of the Spector saga is sort of bittersweet. :mellow:

[wasapi]

I have looked forward to this day for the last 4 years. I even thought I would celebrate it. Yet...

I find myself curiously sad and introspective. I love humor, as all here know. But not a glint of humor was in me when I awoke this morning. How very strange. . . . (respectivelly snipped).

:biggrinjester:

You were not alone, and I feel I must thank you for putting into words how I've felt. Really. Thank you.

[vonna]

Hi Vonna:

No, I don't. I think he will die in prison - and should.

Thank you so much "Daisy's Mom".

And THANK YOU to all the wonderful people at this forum since I stumbled across it back in Oct or November, 2008. I was frantically searching for any tid-bit of information regarding the Spector retrial and discovered this forum. I remember being nervous about joining and making my 1st post. A bit afraid to jump in and voice my opinion on the current Spector insights and feedback about the day's court proceedings. Everyone seemed to know each other and was so up-to-date on the testimony so far.

EVERYONE was so helpful, kind, knowledgeable and patient. THANKS. What great individuals I was so fortunate to meet. . . through POSTS, PMs and E-mails and even a few through phone calls and in person and at the courthouse. THANKS A MILLION - it has been EDUCATIONAL, INSIGHTFUL, ENTERTAINING and JUST PLAIN FUN. You're one smart group of people and you ALL SEEM TO HAVE SUCH KIND AND LOVING HEARTS. I know that 99.9% of us are here, posting & reading this site, for the SAME EXACT REASON . . . JUSTICE.

I think we saw it here today. And even though it won't resolve things for Lana's family - it is the best that our justice system has to offer for them, and for that I am thankful at the outcome and wish them well in the civil trial. :rose:

TO: Gary and Louis - You two are amazing men. You have accomplished this in spite of your upbringing and the crazy environment you have been raised in. I wish you both, happiness and my very best. You deserve that and so much more.
