Summary
On February 3, 2003, cops were called to the home - OH EXCUSE ME, I MEANT TO SAY SUUUUUUPER TACKY CASTLE. YES CASTLE - of music producer and "legend" Phil Spector. Spector claimed that a woman had come into his home and then killed herself in his foyer. If that sounds insane, it's because it is and it is DEFINITELY not what happened. The woman's name was Lana Clarkson AND SHE WAS FREAKING AWESOME. Of course the trial was a circus. SPECTOR WORE WIGS FOR DAYS. Oh and Alan Jackson from the Karen Read case is back and has some crazy shit to say. JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE, FAM!
