Lawyer Sara Caplan Held In Contempt at Spector Trial

Former Spector criminal defense team member, Sara Caplan testified against Spector out of presence of the jury in earlier proceedings but now refused to answer similar questions in front of the jury. Judge Fidler has stayed execution of Caplan’s penalty pending full higher court appeals.

The impact against Spector is that Caplan will now be ruled as “unavailable” by Judge Fidler and prosecutors will be able to simply read Caplan’s earlier testimony to the jury.

This was just another bizarre twist in this spectacle happening in the courtroom of Larry Paul Fidler. The legal proceedings against Phil Spector have carried so much unnecessary baggage I can’t see how it will end in anything but a mistrial.

"This was just another bizarre twist in this spectacle happening in the courtroom of Larry Paul Fidler." I know what you mean! Imagine, a rich, white, Hollywood big wig murdered a woman, and he may just get convicted! THAT, I must admit, is pretty weird.

Another 'Only in Hollywood' trial.
Why on earth do we care about and/or watch this tripe? Another sign of a sick country.
Enjoy your blog Paul.
