Given that the Jacko trial is only expected to last six months, and Pete Doherty will presumably be dead by the end of the summer
(sorry, I mean he will be fully rehabilitated and living a quiet life), what are we going to write about in the CMU Daily in
September? Actually, we'll be too excited about the Bestival
(9-11 Sep) to be bothering with scandal but, nevertheless, the pop courts will continue to provide us with column inches because the long awaited murder trial of legendary producer Phil Spector will go live on 16 Sep. Spector was in court yesterday when the trial date was set, but he and his lawyer declined to comment after the hearing. He, of course, maintains his innocence over the death of actress Lana Clarkson at his home back in Feb 2003.
The prosecution (and in a civil case Clarkson's family) claim
Spector murdered the actress, Spector maintains she committed suicide.
