And how are jurors supposed to decide what happened without the testimony of the forensic experts? :smiley_aasg:

"The Los Angeles County district attorney's office opposed a motion by Spector's lawyers to exclude testimony presented at the music producer's first trial by three forensics experts.

They include Dr. Louis Pena, who testified that he conducted an autopsy and concluded Lana Clarkson's death was a homicide.

The defense has claimed Clarkson shot herself, either accidentally or on purpose. A jury deadlocked last year and Spector is facing a retrial in September.

His attorneys have filed several motions to exclude evidence. They also filed a motion arguing that jurors in the retrial shouldn't be allowed to convict Spector on lesser offenses."

I think Lana accidentally shot herself. JMO

Elaborate please!

Do you believe that Spector and she were engaged in some form of gun play, that she was trying to get the gun from Spector and it discharged, or something else?

yes :happy0207:

I think he was shoving the gun in her mouth at the time though, and that makes him guilty as sin.

Justice for Lana...:1222423:

Lana was murdered by that sick twisted creep...the other 'explanation' makes no sense...unless this whole thing was a soap opera...and then Lana would be alive in real life to come back next season.

The other theory is simply silly...that she would put her jacket on, a purse over her shoulder, and shoot herself in the face...Yeah..that is how women go out...

And OH golly gee whiz, let's just ignore that the freak has a habit of threatening women and others with guns...

Phil Spector is A CREATURE...a carbon-based life form that has money...and lots of it...but not an once of human empathy..or decency.

I think he may have a few "ounces" of decency. He sure is a good dresser. I love his suits and ties. JMO

I think he portrays himself as a caricature of a real person.

yes :happy0207:

I must respectfully disagree. Perhaps if the shooting had occurred in another area of the house, such as the living room or master bedroom, it could be more plausible. It clearly appears, in my opinion, that Ms. Clarkson was ready to leave and Spector brandished the gun...as he had on previous occasions with other women.

Thanks....interesting reading!

My apologies for the O/T, however, regarding the first case posted at the top of her blog page (Cesar Laurean)...not good news at all for the State.
