You be the judge



So the trial of Phil Spector is winding down with deliberations to start Monday.
Spector's lawyer, Linda Kenney-Baden, completed her arguments Friday asking the jury to keep their objectivity and to not judge her client based on his appearance or whether they liked him. "We don't convict people in this country because we don't like them, because we don't like their hair or their clothes," she said.
I watched the closing arguments on Court TV yesterday and actually felt pity for Spector. The once powerful music mogul has been reduced to a shaky little weasel wearing ridiculous looking wigs. The Court TV anchor interviewed Spector's wife Rachelle and asked, "What's the deal with his hair?" (okay, maybe I'm paraphrasing) Rachelle wanted to know why the public was more focused on his hair than on his guilt or innocence. Maybe these pictures hold the answer... She claimed with a straight face that the hair on his head is real and is his. Mmm hmmm. Well, I guess technically it is made of real hair, and he has paid for it, so it's his. But come on Rachelle, Phil has been wearing wigs since the 60s.
