Spector Trial to Get the OJ Treatment
Anyone who thought that justice had more or less been thwarted in the Phil Spector case after four years of suspicious postponements must now renew their faith in the system: not only did jury selection begin today, but, after a month-long recess, the trial might even be on television.
Yes, television, that star-making medium that clearly had no distracting effect on Judge Ito of the many clocks in the OJ trial, or, more recently, on weeping Judge Seidlin in the Anna Nicole hearing, will now have people not playing to the camera in the Spector trial.
And thank God. For too long, too many trials have gone unscrutinized by the channel-surfing public, and countless judges who might have otherwise landed TV gigs as a result of these trials never got that chance.
And besides — if a trial is held in a forest and no one broadcasts it on every channel for an entire season, was justice really served?
