The Phil Spector murder trial has gone a bit cold over the last couple of weeks – possibly because the dry discussion of blood spatter patterns isn’t exactly as fun as women being all upset because Phil Spector tried to rape them at gunpoint.

But that all changes now, because it’s time for Phil Spector’s defence to get going. And it’ll be an uphill task for Phil Spector’s defence team, since the testimonies of several forensic professionals have pointed the finger firmly in the direction of murder. Yesterday the defence started to try and clear Spector’s name with the introduction of a new forensics expert who had his own ideas on the matter – although why the defence lawyers don’t just stand Phil Spector up and ask the jury how a man who’s patently incapable of dressing himself as anything other than a middle-aged lesbian on a cruise ship holiday could ever be able to figure out how to murder anyone is beyond us.
