OK, Convict Phil Spector Now
The smoking-gun, slam-dunk evidence of Phil Spector's guilt came forth in in his trial yesterday, and, surprisingly, it was offered by the defense. I refer, of course, to the pathetic testimony of "expert" defense witness Dr. Vincent DiMaio, who delivered this exceedingly lame argument:
Look at Mr. Spector," DiMaio said at one point, drawing jurors' attention across the courtroom to the frail, diminutive defendant. "He has Parkinson's features. He trembles."..."She was 25 years younger, 7 to 9 inches taller," DiMaio said. "She outweighed him by 25 pounds and was in better health than he was. ... Her reflexes would have been greater. Her strength greater."
Um, yes, doc, she was taller, younger, stronger. But he had a gun. I don't care if Lana Clarkson was built like Arnold, if Phil could pull a trigger, she would be no match.
If this is the best the defense can offer, it might as well throw in the towel now. The "Lana was stronger than Phil" line of reasoning is about as persuasive as this crazy picture above, which I found here.
