Phil Spector trial: Day 36
A defence expert testified today (July 18) in the Phil Spector murder trial that blood can spatter more than three feet.
This is significant because it contradicts the prosecution's argument that the blood patterns found on the producer's jacket indicate he was close enough to have killed actress Lana Clarkson when she was fatally shot.
Spector is accused of murdering Clarkson, whom he had met at the House of Blues in Los Angeles only hours before. The defence contends the actress' death was an accidental suicide.
Witnesses for the prosecution previously testified that the blood patterns found on Spector's jacket indicate he was within three feet of the actress at the time of her death.
This morning, however, blood expert James Pex contradicted that theory.
But when cross-examined later in the day, he admitted that the spatter of blood on Spector's jacket was consistent with it being two to three feet away.
However, he added that some of the blood could have been transferred from one object to another rather than spattering on it when the gun was fired, reports the Los Angeles Times.
In the past few days, the defence team has focused on scientific evidence to support its case and contradict the prosecution's claim that Spector shot Clarkson. |
Bad weather hampers Ashton Court Festival
The second day of this year's Ashton Court Festival has been cancelled today (July 15) following bad weather.
Organisers pulled the event in Bristol after an overnight downpour of heavy rainfall.
A statement on the festival's official site added: "The festival site is unsafe for the public due to the treacherous ground conditions, which have made it impossible to guarantee emergency services on-site.
"After taking advice from health and safety officials, emergency services and licensing authorities at a meeting this morning, the organisers took the difficult decision to cut short the event."
The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Enter Shikari and Horace Andy were all set to play today after performances from The Fall, Gravenhurst and Mad Professor yesterday (July 14). |
