"Phil and the first officers." "Let's go." "Uh." "This piece of shit!" "I don't know what the fucking problem was, but she certainly had no right to come to my fucking castle and blow her fucking head open!" "I don't see the case." "No?" "He's drunk." "He's enraged." "He mouths off to the cops." "Why is he enraged?" "You heard it." "Is that a man who just shot somebody?" "That's hearsay." "They'll never allow it into court." ""The People vs. Cruz"." "James?"

"You tell me, what do I do?" "Sex symbol..." "He changed the tune as he came to me." "He's entitled to a defense." "What would you tell your students?" "Would you say, "Don't take the case if it offends your sensibilities,"" "or is he presumed innocent?" "Because you're screwed up, because you read the same gossip everybody else did, so you think he's guilty." "All right, they think he's guilty." "What are you going to do about it?" "I won't attack the girl." "Oh, yeah." "Gonna happen." "Hallelujah!" "Hallelujah." "Yeah." "Linda!" "Linda!" "I can't try the case I wish I had, the defendant I wish I had, and I inherited the jury."

"The whole thing was about, "How do I keep these broads?"" "But he didn't want to keep them." "That's true." "Why?" "Ha." "He didn't know what love was." "He knew what pussy was, and that's as close as he came." "What's your favorite of all the things that you mixed in those days?" "Well, I mean, "River Deep," "Mountain High."" "Yes." "That was the anthem." "Fantastic." "Yeah." "Probably one of the greatest recordings ever made." "At least, that's what Phil would say." "Yeah."

"The evidence is going to paint a picture of a man who on February 3, 2003, put a loaded pistol in Lana Clarkson's mouth inside her mouth, and shot her to death." "This is what the evidence will show." "But to understand more fully, more globally, why" "Philip Spector would have done what he did, how Lana Clarkson fell victim to this man, you're going to be introduced to evidence of the defendant's very rich history of violence, a history of violence against women," "a history of violence involving guns."

"This is going nowhere." "Why is it going nowhere?" "Because the only way to walk our guy out of the court-- because the only question those folks want to know is, if she pulled the trigger, you had better tell me why she did beyond all doubt, because I do not like your guy." "Those people in there, all their lives have got the short end from the more powerful." "There's nothing redeeming in our guy." "Given the choice, they're gonna go for payback time."

"You've got a case that should have been thrown out." "The cops and the DA are trying him on the O.J. case." "The prosecution has nothing." "Except everyone's conviction that he's guilty." "We've got ballistic evidence." "They trot up their experts;" "we trot up ours." "At the end of the day the jury finds him guilty, and we have wasted their time-- unless we indict the girl." "Is he guilty?" "Not beyond a reasonable doubt, but why don't you just show the yokels your two-toned shirts, your cufflinks, fix your tie, and say the law protects all equally?" "Is that untrue?" "It's true if you win." "Not true for freaks." "But for him, off he goes." "Is that what this is about--freaks?" "Very good, Bruce." "That's right." "That's right." "It's all about me." "It's about me." "You know, the poor geek, the bookworm-- she gets judged in the schoolyard, doesn't get a fair trial, except our guy does, and the facts do not support a conviction." "I don't give a shit who he is." "I don't give a shit what he's done before." "OK." "Marvin Gaye--his father shot him, right?" "Sam Cooke...in bed with some girl, husband comes home, bam, bam, bam!" "End of story." "Who gives a shit?" "Lana Clarkson shot herself." "I was there." "Now they're treating me worse than they treated Mark David Chapman." "His name plate reads "What a shame,"" "and he shot John Lennon." "And I, who happened to be in the same room when this girl shot herself," "I am a monster the likes of which never saw the light of day." "You--you want to explain that to me?" "So, what is it, then?" "What are we talking about here?" "Hatred." "What do they hate about me?" "I'm alive." "You know the saying "The good die young," right?" "Why?" "Because the file is closed." "I understand." "Have you said that" "This is the story." "The girl exceeded her shelf life." "She's in L.A. She's down on her luck." "She is broke." "Spector didn't help her?" "That's not his job." "You're thinking of Christ." "He's not Christ." "He's a guy." "He wanted affirmation." "He wanted sex." "68-year-old guy." "It's the same thing." "What is he-- pussy-crazed?" "OK, she's working in some bar." "A guy comes in." "She brushes him off." "The boss says, "Do you know who that is?"" "So, what we have is a car crash." "She's lonely." "What is she supposed to do?" "Hire the Goodyear blimp?" ""Please help me." "I'm lonely"?" "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "What, are you arguing my case?" "Why would I kill that girl?" "You were drunk." "I was drunk." "I was drunk half my life." "These women." "Who are these women?" "These women come out and say I pulled a gun on them." "Where were they at the time of the supposed offense?" "No." "They came out of the woodwork years later." "They came out at the time." "No." "Bullshit." "They--no." "They didn't even press their case." "Come on!" "They came out when it was in their interest to come out-- they came out when there was something in it for them." "What was in it?" "Publicity." "What did Lana Clarkson want?" "Publicity." "What do they all want?" "People--people think it's contagious-- you can get it by hanging around someone who's got it." "I don't know this, and that idiot whom I would have helped-- why not?" "came in here and ruined my life by sticking a gun in her mouth." "For--for what?" "For what?" "For what is this retribution?" "For what am I being punished?" "For being the most successful music producer in the history of the world." "And if you think that's bullshit, then you're not as smart as I know you are." "I am--I am so sorry that that girl, that her life was full of suffering." "I'm sorry she died." "I didn't do it." "The State says the gun was in her mouth." "If he were 10 feet away, could he have done it?" "The prosecution says you didn't go to her, you didn't touch her." "Bruce." "He throws up his hands to avoid the paint." "His coat has one spot of paint on it, 10 feet away." "This is an exact copy if the coat Mr. Spector wore on the night of the shooting, with a replica of the blood spatter-- 4 spots and 2 pinpricks-- of blood on the coat." "You're free to examine it if you wish." "Here is what happens to somebody standing within arm's length of such an explosion." "When the shot comes from inside the mouth, the brain explodes." "When the skull is intact, as here, the brain matter the blood, is ejected through the nose and the mouth." "It seems to me Mr. Spector had to have been standing a minimum of 10 feet from the event for him to have avoided being painted--painted with brain matter and blood." "What do you think?" "Ronnie Spector interview." "I believe--I believe that Phil at one time was very much like you or me, and at the start--at the start of his career he was talented and devoted a very serious musician." "But as the press began to write about him as a great, an icon, or a genius, he began, yes, to be affected by it and it affected him horribly, like a drug, for it confused him." "He was tormented--not by the adulation, no, but by the question--is it true, or is it deserved, and what would the answer for that be?" "There is no answer." "Thank you." "Thank you very much, Mrs. Spector." "Uh, this interview was recorded at Everclear Studios..." "Irene, can you get me the 911 tape-- you know, the chauffer?" "Mm-hmm." "Put it in the room for me, let me listen to it?" "Thanks." "What are you reporting?" "Mm-hmm." "My name is Adriano, and I'm Phil Spector's driver." "I think my boss just killed somebody." "You think your boss killed somebody?" "Yes." "Why do you think he killed somebody?" "Because he..." "What's the speech pathologist, the Brazilian, you know, the interpreter?" "Uh..." "Have you got his number?" "Yeah." "Here, let me show you." "It's this guy, this guy here." "Would you get me a meeting with him?" "Sure." "Oh, yeah, sure." "Just give me a second." "Of course." "Just got it..." "5 PM." "It was nice meeting you." "You, too." "Yes." "What did they have you doing in there?" "You're with the defense team?" "I work in the office." "We were just watching these cartoons about what the blood would do and so on." "You mean like movies?" "Yeah." "And what do you think?" "You could show me "Dumbo."" "Hey, what does that prove?" "Anyone can make cartoons." "Thursday, May 7, 2009." "Retired LAPD officer Joseph Smith." "Colt detective special." "In attendance, retired federal officer Michael Brown with Ms. Linda Kenney Baden." "One round." "38 plus "P."" "Hollow point, 110 grain." "OK." "Clear the range." "Then they say, Dr. Spitz, your various credentials..." "We should add my publication." "Oh, yeah." "We will add your publication." "35 years in forensics." "Exactly." "Now, in your career you have investigated..." "Over 10,000 instances of gunshot wounds." "Fatal." "Yes, gunshot wounds to the head." "Good." "And then they show you the diagram, and they say, have you ever... in 35 years, that wound, the angle of that wound is absolutely inconsistent with any but a self-inflicted wound." "I'd put it simpler." "I don't understand." "I would say, "I've only ever seen that as a self-inflicted wound."" "That's right." "In 95%, that is a self-inflic" "No." "Dr. Spitz, you cannot say 95%." "I beg your pardon." "I was just using that as a figure of speech. 90" "Shh, shh." "Good, but you know, to the prosecution, you say 95%, on cross-examination you've just admitted that there's a 5% chance that it is not a self-inflicted wound." "Is there a 5% chance that somebody else shot her?" "There is no chance." "Then do not say 95%." "That was just a figure of speech." "Sure, Dr. Spitz, but you've seen 10,000 case, right?" "5% of which, the prosecution will point out, is 500 cases in which that is not a self-inflicted wound." "It is a self- inflicted wound." "The we require you to so testify." "Now, Dr. Spitz, we're gonna take a look at the bullet itself." "Yes." "That's good if they let you use it." "What?" "Oh, the tape?" "Mm-hmm." "No, no." "I'm not planning on using the tape." "No." "Listen, it is impossible that Philip took that shot." "If he had, his coat, his hair, his everything would have been covered in blood." "We've got to break that thought into the jury's mind-- he could not have done it." "So you don't show them the tape?" "No." "No." "I'm gonna build it." "Uh-huh." "I'm gonna build a bulletproof Plexiglas chamber and put it in the courtroom." "I'm gonna put the wound dummy in the chair and a ballistics tech in a lab coat and have him pull the trigger." "When they see the booth and the coat, everything covered in blood, the jury sees that, we just broke their thought processes." "We won the case." "The judge will never allow that." ""Culpepper v. Volkswagen."" "I've got a hearing tomorrow at noon." "She shot herself." "You bet she did." "Why?" "Not our problem anymore." "It's been decided it's inadmissible." "What does that mean?" "It means you can't legally base a demonstration on a theory." "You know what?" "Why don't they get a carpenter in there?" "Get a carpenter in there, build me a coffin, have the judge nail me in." "Philip." "Get it over with." "Philip, the California law" "They see that demonstration," "I walk out of there free." "It's been decided the judge will--and can legally disallow it." "Therefore, to make a request doomed to failure is" "Why would I kill that girl?" "Why?" "Because she wouldn't what?" "She wouldn't what?" "She would have done anything I asked." "That's why she came here." "No." "So forget why." "How?" "What did I do?" "What did I say?" ""Here." ""You hold the gun and you put it in your mouth." "I'll pull the trigger."" "Why?" "Because I want to prove my power." "My power was she got in the car." "That was my power." "Some wretched, stunted Jewish kid, a poor kid, who could have, over the years, any fucking woman I wanted-- oh, I'm gonna throw my life away for her." "Why not?" "She was a cocktail waitress." "In the old days, the cops, they showed up, she shot herself, they throw her in jail for fucking up my evening, dead as she was." "I want you to put me on the stand." "One-way ticket to the gallows." "I want to tell what happened." "What happened?" "You got 12 seconds?" "I was drunk." "She was screwed up out of her mind." "I took her home." "She asked me-- she asked me did I have any guns around the house?" "I said, "Why?" She said, "I find it exciting."" "Many women do." "So I showed her the guns," "I went in the other room, I came back." "She's got a gun in her hand, and she's smiling provocatively, right?" "She takes the stupid gun, puts it in her mouth." "I scream, "No!"" "The gun goes off." "It's interesting." "What?" "The various looks, the wigs." "A lot of people think they're wigs." "That's called prejudice." "Brindon, where are they?" "They have gone." "We must tell Torvald." "He was with them." "No." "Shall I alert Princess Isa?" "No." "Better to take a dagger through the heart, for the news would kill her." "Brindon... 95%." "Unbelievable." "My boss came out of the house and said," ""I think I just killed somebody."" ""I think I should call somebody"?" "You want to know the case?" "Our guy used to be a big shot." "Now he's nobody." "The girl--she's living the dream." "Should have died 10 years ago when she could marry money." "Too late now--she's every woman's nightmare." "She goes home with a fella." "She ends up dead." "Let your guy go?" "Why?" "What was he doing there with her?" "That's not what he's being tried for." "Really?" "What time does Bruce get in?" "1:05." "What if it were an accident?" "Ah." "Thank you for coming today." "Thank you." "How are you?" "I'm well, thank you." "Good." "My name is Michael Brown." "Jenny O'Brien." "I'm a retired federal officer." "I've spent most of my government service occupied with ballistics, which is the study of projectiles and firearms." "This is a model of a firearm, a revolver." "As you see, it cannot fire anything." "There is nothing to fire." "It's solid plastic." "That's all it is." "This model--I won't call it a toy, because it's not a toy-- is designed for purposes of demonstration." "OK?" "Mmm." "Basically...it's a garage door opener." "Now, here is one thing this model can do." "If the trigger is depressed, it sends a signal..." "The light and the alarm go off." "You all received your checks for coming in today?" "Yes." "Fine." "In addition to your honorarium, in addition to that, if you can insert the model in your mouth without pulling the trigger, you'll receive $300." "You understand?" "Yeah." "Wrapped in plastic." "Completely sterile." "Please remove it from the plastic." "Now without pulling the trigger, insert the model in your mouth." "Close it." "For God's sakes, what the fuck are you doing?" "!" "Take it out!" "Take it out of your mouth!" "That's our case." "And what does forensics say?" "Forensics says the gun was inside her mouth, handle and trigger guard down, which means that the front sight was up." "Now, somebody yells, "Take that gun out of your mouth."" "She pulls it out fast." "The front sight gets caught on her upper teeth, hand keeps pulling, depresses the trigger, the gun goes off." "It's not in evidence." "I'll put it in the closing." "It's too late." "I'll tell you why." "Everybody at that point assumes that he's guilty." "Linda, all of this, the rubber gun?" "I won't take the rubber gun to court." "Linda..." "It's so clear." "The judge didn't allow Clarkson's diary." "he won't allow" "Linda, the point is, all right, they think he's a monster." "You take the skull in, they're sure." "Monster." "Lives in a cave." "Look at the skull." "They turn away from your client and his evidence." "I make them look at it." "You're thrashing, Linda." "I'm telling you that if she put the gun in her own mouth-- and she did" "And I am telling you, the only way you can introduce all this fucking Ben-Hur is in support of direct testimony." "Remember procedure, which testimony only comes and could come on direct from Mr. Spector." "Are you gonna put him on the stand, or should I just fucking go jump under a train." "What?" "Take care of yourself." "Thank you, Ben." "People say diet is bullshit." "Diet is not bullshit." "I want to talk to you about tomorrow." "What's this?" "That's a note from Bruce." "A note?" ""My personal numbers" in case of what?" "In the case you need him." "These numbers are in New York." "Yeah." "Well, Bruce went back." "Look here." "This is the statement" "Bruce went back to New York?" "Yeah, sure." "You knew he was going back." "To do his television show." "No." "He didn't go back to do his television show." "He left me to do" "Philip." "Philip, you told him you didn't wish him to-- do you recall the closing?" "You agreed, the judge agreed that Bruce could retire before the closing." "Retire from the case?" "Yes." "Well, you agreed." "What, I agreed?" "What do you mean, I agreed?" "I agreed to what?" "I agreed to what?" "It's relevant to this?" "No, no, no, no." "No." "This is unethical." "He withdrew in open court, Philip." "You were there." "I didn't understand." "Well, you discussed this." "When I paid him $1 million to defend my life?" "You and the judge and Bruce Cutler, remember?" "You all talked about this." "I thought he was going on a trip." "Come on!" ""These are my New York numbers"?" "He has other clients." "He left me." "He left me to do his television show." "Don't break my heart." "And I paid him $1 million, and I foolishly expected from him, loyalty." "For--for what?" "For life?" "No." "For the duration of a trial, in which he pleaded with me to give him the job." "Why did he want the job?" "Why?" "Because he liked me?" "He despised me." "He wanted the job because I needed him, because I was weak." "He was strong." "He wanted my money." "I don't understand that?" "Philip, you agreed in front of a judge" "I thought he was going shopping." "Please." "Who was there to tell me different?" "Who?" "Who could have?" "I'm ignorant." "What do I know about these things?" "Who could have sat me down and told me and explained it to me?" "Who?" "My lawyer." "That's who." "Who's gone." "You let him go." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry you're upset." "I know you are." "So." "What do we do now?" "If you testify, we get to do the demonstrations." "I don't get that." "That means I've got to put you on the stand." "All right." "You do understand what that means?" "I get to tell my story." "It means they get to tear you apart." "Well, you defend me." "You ever know anyone who was disfigured?" "I mean, you know, some serious hard to look at?" "After a time--after a time, you come not to notice." "Can you turn on the lights?" "All right." "It's impressive." "All right." "All right." "OK." "The defense calls Philip Spector." "Place your left hand on the Bible." "Raise your right hand." "Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you're about to give in the matter now before this court is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" "I do." "State your name." "Philip Spector." "Please be seated." "Now, Mr. Spector, I would like you to describe, in as much detail as you can recall, the events of the night of February 2, 2003." "Uh, I had a date with a girl." "Objection!" "Could the witness be more specific?" "Could he state the name of the girl, please?" "Yes." "State the name of the girl, please." "Her name was Lana Clarkson." "Would you speak up, please?" "Lana Clarkson." "I had a date with a girl named Lana Clarkson." "Now." "Mr. Spector, did you kill Lana Clarkson?" "No." "Did you put a revolver in her mouth?" "No." "Did you suggest that she do so?" "No." "Did you threaten her?" "No." "Did you keep her in your house by force?" "No." "She wanted to stay" "Objection." "Sustained." "Did you keep her in your house by force?" "Yes or no." "No." "All right." "All right." "Good." "Mr. Spector, your attitude is..." "Objection, Your Honor." "Is this the prosecution's closing?" "As if not" "Sustained." "All right." "As we continue, and I thank the court for its patience, and I would ask Mr. Spector if he would be good enough to discard the tactic of "I don't remember,"" "as the jury, I again assure you" "Objection, Your Honor." "Objection sustained." "Mr. Spector, would you please keep your voice up?" "It's been a long day, Your Honor." "I suggest we reconvene tomorrow." "Your Honor, I object to the defense's tactic of interruption, and I ask the court's indulgence that I may close out this line of questioning." "Yes." "Your request is granted." "You may continue." "Thank you, Your Honor." "OK." "Mr. Spector, you have testified that" ""I came back into the room." ""She had the gun in her mouth." "I screamed No!" "Have you asked me a question?" "I'm about to." "OK." "Where did the gun come from?" "Objection." "We've testified." "Where did the gun come from, Mr. Spector?" "You've testified that you had 9-- 9 firearms on your property to which you have admitted." "Objection." "Was it one of these?" "Objection." "Overruled." "Or is this, say, an outlier which you have forgot?" "As you forgot the incident with Debra Robertie in which you, in joking, pulled a gun on her?" "All right, no." "Wait, wait, wait." "I have a sheaf of affidavits." "One moment, please." "Of your behavior around women, with guns." "Of coercion, assault" "Objection." "Of coercion and battery, unlawful imprisonment." "Your Honor, the evidence in this court" "Incarcerated?" "Your Honor, Mr. Spector has never been accused" "Convicted." "And this is the essence of this case." "There is no legally admissible evidence, which is to say there is no evidence" "All right, all right, all right." "And I would move for a direct" "I have a tape--I have a tape of your wife Ronnie Spector, in which she testifies to your repeated cruelties and assaults." "physical, verbal, and sexual." "No, no, no, no." "Your Honor, Mr. Spector" "Shut that fucking thing off." "OK, let her come into the court." "Where did she say this in a court of law?" "Have her come in here, let her--let her come here and beat me." "Let that psychotic bitch come forward in court and swear where she can be cross-examined" ""He threatened me."" "Turn that fucking thing off." ""He beat me such that I..."" "That sick, no-talent" ""He kept me from my children."" "Turn that fucking thing off!" "If I hadn't found her" "MAN: "He locked me in my room."" "If I hadn't found her in the gutter, what do you think?" "Do you think these singers made those songs?" "I made those songs." "Your Honor." "Ah, fuck this." "Fuck this whole thing, this fucking charade." "And what do you do?" "Who are you?" "How dare you?" "Who--who do you think you are, to come in here and accuse me?" "Philip." "I understand." "I know what's going on." "Philip" "Shut up!" "Because I'm paying the lot of you for this whole thing." "I understand that this semi-talented nowhere, this backup singer, to whom I gave everything I own-- my life, her life, my children." "And to have you come in here quoting her libelous, non-sworn, cowardly bullshit!" "What does it cost her to lash out at me?" "Or you, for that matter?" "Philip, this is a rehearsal." "I know it's a rehearsal!" "Damn it!" "What do you think I am?" "An idiot?" "Do you think I'm a fool?" "Do you think I don't know what this is about?" "I've played this game a million times before." "I know how the game is played!" "I've done this my whole life." "What do you think?" "They kill men for telling the truth." "This is the truth!" "All right." "All right." "All out." "Everybody out." "Uh, but..." "OK." "I worked my whole life." "I worked my whole life." "All right?" "It's not all right." "It's not all right." "It's not all right." "It's certainly not all right, Philip." "If you go off like that in the courtroom" "And I know you put the woman up there to see if I'd go off." "This is not going off." "Not re-fucking-motely." "Would you like to trust me, Philip?" "You might want to trust me, because I'm the last person who both, "A," believes in you and "B" has the power to help your case." "Oh, is that why you brought back" "Shut up, Philip." "Now listen." "You know the difference between your different behaviors." "I act the same with everyone." "No, nobody does." "You didn't act the same around your bands." "You didn't act the same around the Beatles like you did with an autograph-seeker." "You can control your behavior." "Why is this important?" "Because if you don't, you're going to jail for the rest of your life." "The prosecution is gonna do everything in its power to enrage you because that's all they have." "That is what we are doing here today." "They have no facts." "They have to break you." "You see, if you go off, the jury will say," ""He did it now." "I'm sure he did it then,"" "and they'll put you away." "I had no trouble with the Beatles." "And you will have no trouble with the D.A." "if you recall that you want something from him and you will go free." "Now, I want something from you." "I want you to give up the pills, give up the wine for the 2 or 3 days you'll be on the stand and keep your composure, just like you did around the Beatles." "I mean, if Paul disagreed with you, did you scream at him?" "On "Let It Be"?" "I was proved right." "And you will be proved right here if you keep your composure." "But if you don't, you won't." "I promise you that I will be prepared mentally, spiritually, and that I will make a good impression and...keep their respect." "I understand." "Thank you." "You know why?" "Why?" "Not for what they think of me, but what you think of me." "Thank you." "I take that as a great compliment." "Vicky, where's the car?" "So." "All right?" "Yeah." "I'm just saving it--you know, saving my best work for when we're rolling." "I'm a little tired, too, I think." "Best I go home and rest for tomorrow." "No, I get it." "It--it don't start getting better till it's gotten bad." "I'm equal to it." "Hey, guys, you want to see if the car's ready, please?" "I got it." "Anyway, thank you." "No." "This was a good idea." "You rest up." "We'll see you tomorrow." "OK." "So thank you all." "Let me just say I know you were paid to get me prepared." "You did an excellent job." "You were paid to perform, and your performance was perfect." "So can I do as well as you?" "Tomorrow, we'll see." "If I do, it's because of you, right?" "Thank you." "Linda, you want to go to the car?" "Yeah." "What you're doing, Linda, is good." "It's what I always tried to do, so I know what you're doing." "What am I doing, Philip?" "You're defending the artist." "I know you're not well." "I know what this is costing you." "That's what I go by." "I've met a lot of crazy people in my life." "I've met very few sane ones that I could talk to." "All right." "Here we go." "He don't look good." "He's tired." "Are you going to keep him up on the stand all day tomorrow?" "I'm gonna keep him up there till they all get used to him, after which he will no longer be an oddity but a beloved eccentric, and they'll be telling their grandchildren how they helped to set an innocent man free." "Linda, hi." "You know my wife Kelly." "Linda Kenney Baden." "No." "Hi." "How do you do?" "Honey, the tickets." "The tickets-- I'm sorry." "I'll be right back." "So how long have you two been married?" "I've been following your trial." "How could you defend that man?" "What does your pin mean?" "Medical aid for Africa." "And are you active in that?" "Yes, I am." "So you're compassionate." "All right." "So would you hire an ex-convict?" "I might." "So suppose she was convicted of, say, theft and she comes to you, she tells you her story, and you judge she deserves a break, so you give her a job, and then after a year or so," "the household money goes missing." "Do you suspect her first?" "I would of course check" "Of course you do." "No matter how much you're committed to "presumed innocent,"" "you will suspect her first." "I work in the music business." "I know something about your client." "He's a terrible man." "He's not being tried for that." "Do you think he shot her?" "I don't see how he could have." "Can you prove that he didn't shoot her?" "Well, that's not my job." "By the way" "I got them." "did you know that your husband is cheating on you?" "That's ridiculous." "And that's called "giving him the benefit of the doubt."" "It's good to see you, Linda." "You, too." "Good night." "Good night." "Do you think you'll get him off?" "Yes, I do." "If you get him off, what will you do when he kills the next girl?" "As we near the end of a long--a very long trial," "Phil Spector, once the darling of the music industry, having sold millions of records, now facing a jury, charged with the shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson." "What are we seeing down there, Patty?" "That's right, Bill." "His name is in the record books, and we all know his music, but the trial, the charge, have nothing to do with his profession but of course with his personal life." "I know this is the day that you've all been waiting for." "You've been waiting on his arrival, and here, yes, here is Phil Spector." "Ready." "Dr. Spitz, you understand we won't be getting to you for several days because" "Yes." "we will be examining Mr. Spector..." "I understand." "But I thought it was important for you to hear the testimony on direct." "Are you gonna keep him up there all day?" "JAMES:" "Linda." "When are you doing the demonstrations?" "I've got to introduce it on redirect." "Uh, excuse me." "Not 95%." "I understand." "That is self-inflicted." "Yes." "Sorry." "Excuse me." "Yes." "No, no, no." "Not yet." "Not yet." "Um, hello?" "Listen." "Hello?" "Listen." "I want to inspect the ballistic test materials tonight, OK?" "James?" "OK." "When we've got him-- no, no, no, no." "Either way." "Either way." "When he's on the stand, I-- if you see me do this..." "OK?" "this." "Uh-huh." "You come from the back of the court and you pass me a note, only make sure it's not blank, because Fiedler might ask to see it, so it should say" ""Communication from Bruce Cutler" "New York." "Urgent."" "Can he keep it together on the stand?" "He's got to, all right?" "We're here outside the State Courthouse, where" "Phil Spector has just made a rather spectacular entrance." "Stay with him--stay with him as long as you can stay with him, and then get the reactions of the crowd." "Is he out of his mind?" "Follow him." "Follow him through." "Follow on Phil." "Oh, my God." "Phil Spector has just entered the courthouse." "As you know, reporters are not allowed into the courthouse, but if you stay with us, we will be out here waiting for his return." "We will be back with you." "We'll have the news of the day." "Stay with us." "We will be waiting..." "Folks, clear the way." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Let me through." "You on that side, you on that side." "Coming out." "I need you at the perimeter." "No one without the yellow pass passes." "Get back." "Give them room on the elevators." "Outside..." "What is it?" "Well, it's pneumonia, Philip." "Oh, pneumonia?" "Oh, man." "You got to take care of yourself." "Look in the mirror." "You're concerned about my appearance." "Look in the mirror, Philip." "I know." "I wanted," "Linda, to look my best today." "I know you're concerned about my hair." "My hair--listen to me." "My hair is an homage." "Philip" "To Jimi Hendrix." "Yes?" "Who suffered" "Look..." "Who suffered, who was persecuted" "Philip..." "Please, just don't make a big thing out of this." "This is not as outrageous as it looks." "Philip..." "Linda, what is it?" "It's not a big thing." "Here, let me just tell you." "I spent quite a bit of time on this." "I've been up since 4:00 in the morning, right?" "And the truth-- the truth is that backlit, this" "Listen" "Listen to me." "I know about these things." "I know these things." "I'm an expert at these things." "What things?" "Show business, Linda." "Putting on a show." "Will you grant me that?" "Sure." "All right." "The amount of time I spent with the Ronettes, the Crystals, with Darlene, with the Bobby Socks, with Tina, on their clothes, on their dresses." "One might have even whispered at the time, many things" "Philip" "One might have even-- Listen to me." "Listen to me, Linda." "One might have even whispered, "This man is queer."" "Further, had I been queer, it wouldn't have mattered because I never cared who put what into whom." "What business was that of mine?" "I'm quoted on that." "Yes, we're coming." "I presume they want us back in court." "Yes, that's it." "So..." "I want you to put your mind at rest." "When I'm up there, should they mention my hair, and they may," "I'll be proud to tell them just what I told you." "All right?" "I'm ready." "All right." "I'm ready." "All rise." "The Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, hear ye, hear ye," ""People vs. Philip Spector."" "The honorable judge Larry Paul Fidler presiding." "All having business before this court come forward and you will be heard." "Be seated." "Ms. Baden, I believe you wanted to call one more witness for the defense." "Counselor?" "Ms. Baden, I'm waiting." "Counselor!" "Yes, Your Honor." "I'm sorry." "The defense calls... the defense calls Dr. Werner Spitz." "Excuse me." "All right." "Excuse me." "Philip, we'll just-- let's see tomorrow, we'll see how it goes." "Raise your right hand." "Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you're about to give in the matter now before this court..." "Phil Spector has arrived." "Take a look behind me as his Mercedes begins to make its way down the drive." "You can see his driver going at a very fast speed while the protesters are yelling "Justice for Lana."" "Here he comes as he makes his way down the street, up to his mansion, and he's pulling up to..." "Go ahead." "No, no, no, no, no." "Stop." "Get back." "Hold on." "...on the driveway..." "I've got one for you." "All right." "Why the barbed wire?" "To keep people out." "Nobody was trying to get in." "Why does the monster live in a castle?" "Why does the minotaur live in a cave?" "I mean, he could live wherever he wanted." "Why does he live in a cave?" "Why does the minotaur live in a cave?" "To keep himself from doing harm." "But he came out." "I believe he is not guilty." "Are you sure?" "No." "But I have a reasonable doubt." "This is Brian Jennings." "Another day, another turn in the saga." "Phil Spector retired for the night to his home that that he calls his "castle."" "And we'll leave you for tonight, too." "Signing off from Los Angeles..."
