I put some serious thought into who should be the new lead lawyer for Phil Spector. As the readers of this blog know, I sincerely believe Philip Spector is an innocent man. I would not wish on Spector any more of the headline grabbers or legal pundits.
My first choice would be Bay Area lawyer Gerald Schwartzbach who won a not guilty verdict for actor Robert Blake. Schwartzbach is brilliant, charming and has a great style. For a second chair I’d go with appellant lawyer, Dennis Riordan who was a late entry to the old team.
Spector had lots of great experts but lacked a needed firearms expert like author, Massad F Ayoob who’s been on the right side of some nearly impossible cases.
For investigators I can recommend myself to work with a little gal Schwartzbach used for Robert Blake’s case.
The defense can't be run by TV personalities but rather great speakers that will fill the empty defense holes like why Spector relied on the limo driver to call for help and the inexcusable 40 minutes that went by before police responded. Both of these things were used against Spector and were easily explained.

Phil said...
"They'll think I killed somebody"
Adrian thought he heard...
"I think I killed somebody"
and started the whole Sherrif's response... which was not ever to ask Phil what happened... but just take him into custody.
It's now impossible for ADS to admit he may have been mistaken.

I believe this defense missed making some crucial points which point to innocence.
Next time you can bet the defense team will be new and improved and have their ducks in a row. The prosecution couldn't improve much on their presentation so I don't foresee a guilty verdict. There's really no evidence Phil shot Lana, but there is strong evidence to indicate she shot herself.
