ABSOLUTELY TAKING A BREAK HERE.....

It is April 13th, which means, there are TWO days left till the tax filing deadline. Can you imagine anyone...I repeat anyone forgetting that date? I have a new client that showed up at the door (referred by a client), and giggles, that she and her husband have mastered the art of procrastination. I didn't have the nerve to tell her I had my master's in "FUK YOU!" My nice side came out and I got all pertinent information and sent her on her way with a list of additional information to get to me A.S.A.P.

Thegrandson has done it again...stymied the doctors. They have no clue what these burn like blisters are on both ears. We theorized that the neighbors yard which was chemically treated, might be the culprit, along with other possibilities. But none make sense, as this is isolated and a bilateral symptom. So, now instead of bacitracin applied to the ears, we are going to try zovirax. For those who don't know, zovirax is the same as "abreva" sold in the stores, for cold sore symptoms. The new theory is going to treat this as something viral. If not better in a week - back to the doctor's we go. This is getting to be ridiculous.

Well, the little troll, Phil Spector was found GUILTY of second degree murder this afternoon. I say "BIG F**KING ABOUT TIME!!" Watching months of the first trial just about killed me, to have a jury then return deadlocked and a mistrial declared. There had to be two starstruck morons on that first jury - or else it was a no-brainer.

I was even more impressed that Judge Fidler ordered him immediately to jail to await sentencing on May 26th. Hip-hip-hooray! OMG, whatever will his 20 something wifey do now? During the first trial she was reprimanded many times for her outbursts, interviews and her Myspace writings. These trials have depleted the spectral Spector's cash - so he may have to divest himself of much of his holdings to push for an appeal. Little wifey may have to watch out - she was a token wife only - she may be headed for the curb in the near future. At least Lana Clarkson has been vindicated. I hate that they painted such a crass picture of the victim to save this little toad.

Now, back to last night's post - about the little thugs who stole from theson's truck. I said I would find out the name and guess what...I am a person of my word. I know the little ass's name now (unfortunately I do know who he is), and there are plans underway to try and catch him - doing something. I know the plan, but promised I would not let on to anyone. It is a workable scenario - if followed through. We shall see what happens. I'm giving it a week or so to yield results.

I'm calling it quits for now...it is Monday - my "House" and "24" viewing time. I've got thegrandson ready for bed and then it is ME time. Have a good one - and I'll catch ya ...... later............

I'M CONFESSING....MY PASSION (OR OBSESSION)...

....is crime and trials. Once I finally was able to receive CourtTV on our cable system, I thought I had died and gone to puppy heaven. I can't explain WHY I have always been enthralled by the court system (trials), but admittedly - I am obsessed.

Last year, when Phil Spector was on trial for the murder of former actress Lana Clarkson, I would not even leave the house till after 8 pm - because the trial was on the west coast. CourtTV aired until 4 pm EST, then I would get the live stream on ktla dot com. There was some relief as Thursdays was a short day and no court on Fridays, which made for a long weekend for me. Every stopping point seemed to be a cliff hanger.

I was even one of several who had a "chat" discussion and analysis through MiCR. Yes, my children were ready to have me committed. As much as I yearned for the "guilty" verdict to be returned...it seemed like eons while the jury deliberated. After 15 days - it was declared a "mistrial." I truly wanted to fly to LA and smack that little man within an inch of his life.

When the trial started - the asshole appeared in court with this wild ungodly "fro." In his twisted mind, he must have thought himself quite the "dapper dude." His "dream team" ended up costing him a fortune - to the point he could only afford ONE defense attorney on this second go-round. At one point he had Bruce Cutler, John Gotti's attorney - who was reprimanded many, many times by the judge. Essentially letting Cutler know, that he was NOT in New York anymore, and he would not be allowed to bully the jurors. It was a great moment.

Now, Phil Spector changed his appearance by the second week of the trial - and I do believe he managed to get a facelift during this period. He would still wear his bright colored shirts and ties, and long tailed coats - as if he was a genuine fashionista.

To make a long story short...sort of, the second trial has been underway since late October '08. The prosecution has wrapped up their summation and the defense will be today - then on to jury deliberations. Not a whole lot changed during this second trial (I have been following a blogger who attends the trial), and I'm hoping the jury gets it right this time around. I guess my family is tickled because none of this second trial was televised (no network wanted to pay the stiff fees), which may have saved my sanity - or not.

I was a juror nonetheless, and I saw and analyzed all evidence that was presented - he should have been found guilty the first time and I hope that verdict is swift and fair this time. He may be in his 70's (with a 24 year old wife), but prison is where he belongs...forever.

OK, confession time over, I have plenty to do, so I will return....later......

MISTRIAL - IN PHIL SPECTOR MURDER CASE

For those of you unfamiliar with this lunatic - you can google various sites for pics. But during this trial his appearance changed at least 3 distinctive times. Phil Spector (and this was his 2nd "look") is a psycotic, narcicistic bastard. He has a history of pulling guns on women, as they tried to leave his house in the past, made many statements that women are c**ts and deserve to have their f'in heads blown off...yet this jury became "hung" 10-2 favoring guilty yesterday.

As theson states in his blog - I have been watching this trial from start to finish, involved in a chat room (now all very dear friends...lol) and essentially become a nervous wreck throughout this 5 month trial.

Some basic facts:
* Lana Clarkson was shot (in the mouth) in Phil Spectors house 2/3/03.
* Phil Spector came to door of his house with gun in hand, yelled at his chaffeur "I think I killed somebody!"
* 14 phones in house and he (Phil) never called 911
* Chaffeur called 911 - Police did not enter home for over 40 minutes - not sure whether a hostage situation existed
* Spector tasered by police for not cooperating - stating to police "I shot her but it was an accident. I can explain."
* Gun now laying at Lana's left foot (she is right handed). No prints on gun - wiped with wet diaper - same diaper used to wipe her face - by Phil. By the way, he wettened the diaper in a toilet to wipe all this.
* One more admission at police station - before Robert Shapiro (lawyer to stars) has him clam up.

And four years later - the trial begins. Spector has the big bucks and his defense team changed noticeably during the trial. One expert witness, Dr. Henry Lee, a forensic expert was declared "not credible" by the judge for hiding/losing a piece of evidence. One defense lawyer, Bruce Cutler (John Gotti's lawyer) was seldom seen in court, till he finally resigned a month ago. Please note that Cutler was accused of buying off jurors for Gotti.

I won't go into more detail because my fingers would be bleeding profusely in the end. But in the Court TV chat room, I made friends from all over and we all watched and analyzed testimony and evidence. (I even learned how to use mIRC.) Since we were privvy to the same things that the jurors were, the overall concensus was GUILTY. Needless to say, we were all irate and dumbfounded after yesterdays mistrial declaration.

The good news is that the LA District Attorneys office will be re-filing charges against Phil Spector and there will be another trial. I doubt that I will be watching it as avidly, maybe daily updates from CTV, because I hate to get this worked up over something that does not personally affect me - yet it is the basic premise of justice not being carried out due to celebrity in California. **Plus the smug attitude of Phil Spector, a schizophrenic, burned out, disgusting, Napoleonic troll.

I must say that, after reading numerous transcripts from his arrest to lawsuit against Shapiro, one question was asked of him, and his answer was, "well they say I am a genius...therefore..." DUH!!! LET'S GET THIS CORRECT - the term "musical genius" was applied because of the "wall of sound" he created - HE WAS NOT EINSTEIN!!! I would have preferred the term "innovator."

I could discuss this case for hours on end...but will not - aren't you happy now! We will see how the retrial goes and if JUSTICE CAN BE SERVED!

***********************************************

Mom2 is home from hospital, and to go thru outpatient therapy while awaiting an appointment with neurology team.

I must say at least while the jury was deliberating it gave me time to get some resumes out and submit a few job applications - so far the phone isn't ringing. I may have to end up at McD's soon.

Everyone stay healthy and TTFN.
