This week we learnt that none of Phil Spector's DNA was found on the gun that killed Lana Clarkson, but now we've now discovered that pretty much everyone's DNA was splattered all over everyone else's naughty bits like goodness knows what.
Already in the Phil Spector murder trial a detective has opined that Lana Clarkson's death may have had a sexual leaning thanks to the candlelit crime scene and the brandy snifters left on the mantelpiece, but now events have been given a slight nudge in that direction thanks to the revelation that Phil Spector's DNA was found on Lana Clarkson's left breast, what appears to be Lana Clarkson's DNA was found on Phil Spector's genitals and someone else's DNA was found on a different part of Phil Spector's genitals. We've said it before and we'll say it again – with results like that we've got to get our hands on one of those lesbian wigs.
Los Angeles County criminalist Steve Renteria is proving to be worth his weight in gold as far as the Phil Spector murder trial goes. For weeks and weeks all we've had to go on has been circumstantial gun-waving evidence from a handful of women, the opinions of a coroner who made all kinds of mistakes and a book that says Lana Clarkson might have maybe seen the ghost of a dead actress once. But screw that – we want science.
And Steve Renteria is Mr Science as far as we're concerned. Already this week Renteria has announced that Phil Spector's DNA wasn't on the gun that killed Lana Clarkson, and now he's just getting downright filthy. After an investigator into the Phil Spector murder case claimed that there was a sexual motive behind the murder, Renteria has announced that some of Phil Spector's DNA was found on Lana Clarkson's breast, with some of Lana Clarkson's DNA being found on Phil Spector's todger. The Los Angeles Times reports:
A small amount of genetic material matching Phil Spector's DNA profile was found on Lana Clarkson's left breast, a courtroom expert testified Tuesday. Sheriff's criminalist Steve Renteria also said DNA matching Lana Clarkson's genetic markers was found in Spector's groin area. The DNA matching both Clarkson's and Spector's profiles most likely was from saliva, although Renteria said experts could not be sure. Renteria also said he detected the presence of DNA, again most likely saliva, from someone other than Spector or Clarkson in a different part of Spector's genitalia.
Oh, phew, the DNA was just saliva. Otherwise, you know, greeegh. However, the DNA sample found on Phil Spector's genitals isn't an unique match to Lana Clarkson and could be matched to one person in just 94,000, leaving plenty of room for doubt.
But let's assume that the saliva DNA found on Phil Spector was Lana Clarkson's – what then? Chances are the prosecution would try to claim that any sexual activity between Phil Spector and Lana Clarkson was forced at gunpoint, keeping with the pattern of testimonies from earlier in the trial. But it'd be much more useful evidence for the defence, which can dismiss the prosecution's notion that Phil Spector shot Lana Clarkson after she sexually rejected him. Not only that, but the defence could use this evidence to further push the theory that Lana Clarkson killed herself because, well, you'd probably commit suicide if you'd just sucked off Phil Spector too, right?

Stuart Heritage I LOVE YOU! Day in and day out I drone at my job, and the high point of the day is searching the Internet, hoping for a new Phil Spector story from you. Some days I just roar with laughter, you really have a wonder gift/skill in writing. Though, in my humble opinion, Phil doesn’t think he’s wearing a lesbian wig … I think he believes he’s a beatle (like george, paul, john and ringo) beatle, and he’s back in the 60’s and just on a really bad acid trip. ;-)
