Murder trials aren’t known for their laugh-a-minute hilarity, but Phil Spector’s murder trial is different, thanks to a waitress taking the stand yesterday to compare the sight of Phil Spector dressed in plaid and carrying a huge shotgun to Elmer Fudd.

Kathy Sullivan used the Elmer Fudd comparison to describe the sight of Phil Spector gripping the gun and muttering about protection after she and a friend had stayed in his LA castle a decade ago. Although there may not be that many superficial similarities between Phil Spector and Elmer Fudd, cast your minds back to the little-seen 1949 Warner Brothers cartoon Rabbit In Court where Elmer Fudd dons a ridiculous lesbian wig, goes to a bar, brings back Bugs Bunny who’d been working there as a hostess and shoots him in the mouth, killing him instantly. Or, you know, doesn’t do any of that. Depending on how guilty of murder Phil Spector gets found to be.
