‘NUTCASES WITH NO LIVES’

Varinsky also assisted the government with the Spector trial. He would not say whether Trials & Tribulations would be considered when putting to­gether the retrial, but he acknowledges that most of the blogs are pro-prosecution. Still, he describes true crime bloggers, with no relation to the cases they write about, as “nutcases with no lives.”

Regardless, Varinsky believes that prosecutors gen­erally don’t read blogs about the cases they’re prose­cuting and doubts a prosecutor would ever blog about an ongoing case.

NOTE: Paul Huebl, Crime File News, informed me that the LA District Attorney's Office was all over his blog during the Phil Spector trials. Read "Alan Jackson Is A Jackass" -

Excerpt:

Caroline said...

Jackson a jackass? You bet he is!
He needs to convict Spector and add another notch to his belt and blossoming DA career. It seems there is no level too low for Alan Jackson to stoop.

This past Wed., 7/18/07, Mr. Jackson misled the witness with false statements trying to discredit evidence that Ms. Clarkson shot herself.

Judge Fidler should have already called a mistrial or been removed for his BIAS!

The Spector trial is a travesty of justice and I fear Phil Spector, an innocent man, will go down as compensation for the unpunished crimes of OJ and Robert Blake.

Drugs & The Phil Spector Sham Murder Trials - The LA DA Glorifies Drug Abuse

Lana Clarkson:

Clarkson was forced to take a minimum wage job serving the people that she hoped were her peers. The earnings for that job were insufficient to pay for her cottage, a car with insurance, her utilities, food and her Vicadin addiction.

...

There are other unflattering things that came out about Clarkson. She often raided medicine cabinets of her friends in search of drugs for her addiction. She swindled several friends out of as much as $60,000.00 to finance a vanity film she wanted to use as a demo to showcase her act. The demo tape was an entertainment disaster. I’m sure she expected her stalled career to move and she’d pay back her friends in full. It just did not happen.

Diane Ogden:

One of the women, Dianne Ogden, died of an accidental overdose of prescription medication after the first trial, which ended in a hung jury.

What Happens When Government Uses Bloggers As Their Mouthpieces & Vehicles For Their High Profile Celebrity Sport Trials

Full Court Coverage

What happens when defense counsel and ordinary citizens blog about high-profile trials?

Some say Los Angeles prosecutor Alan Jackson has movie-star looks. Others compare him to a game-show host. But the most unusual characterization of the man who prosecuted music producer Phil Spector on murder charges likened him to a bulldog named Chance in the 1993 Disney movie Homeward Bound. “Of course, AJ is much smarter and more cautious than Chance, but overall personalities seem to fit,” wrote Betsy Ross in Trials & Tribulations, her blog that focused on the Spector prosecution.

A semiretired massage therapist who lives in the Los Angeles suburb of Sherman Oaks, Betsy Ross (yes, that’s her real name) regularly at­tended Spector’s trial in the 2003 killing of B-movie actress Lana Clarkson. She was one of at least three nonjournalists who blogged about the trial regularly, but the only one to merit a mention in Dominick Dunne’s column in Vanity Fair.

“I was trying to bring my readers into the courtroom with me,” says Ross, who blogs under the handle “Sprocket.” Her observations took a decidedly pro-prosecution lean. And Ross’ writing style often includes details and descriptions that would probably not be included in mainstream press coverage.

The case ended in a mistrial on Sept. 26, but Ross continues to write about Spector on her blog, and she plans to cover his retrial.

The Spector trial—which ended in a hung jury—is Ross’ second. Her first was the murder trial of actor Robert Blake, who in 2005 was acquitted of murdering his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley. Also a fan of true crime message boards, Ross posted her observations about Blake’s trial on the boards. Later, after copying and pasting significant blocks of text, she started Trials & Tribulations; she now posts links to her blog on various message boards.

(Los Angeles district attorney’s office spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said the office would not comment on Trials & Tribulations because of the pending retrial.)

Leonard Cohen: Decadence, Pornography, Totalitarian Control, Torture, Misogynist ...

In the face of this catastrophe, Cohen has sometimes invoked an obsessive and unsettling fascination with totalitarian control. One of his books of poetry is entitled Flowers for Hitler; in The Favorite Game, his first novel, Cohen's youthful Jewish protagonists play Nazi torture games where they take turns stripping naked and whipping one another with red string, and they fantasize about delivering Fuhrer-like speeches and inciting crowds to violence through mass hypnotism.
