The LA Superior Court has posted the 18-page jury questionnaire, which is relatively restrained as these things go. Less restrained appears to be the blame-the-victim tactics that defense attorneys apparently plan to use. Slate’s Timothy Noah has a good overview and is blogging the trial from his tv set; the LA Times and CourtTV also have blogs and a web page of resources. Amazingly, in the midst of a murder investigation, Spector decided to sue his first criminal defense attorney, former OJ-Dream-Teamer Robert Shapiro, who successfully bailed him out; the resulting civil deposition of Spector has to be seen to be believed, and probably has something to do with Spector’s decision to drop the suit in 2005. Spector is on his third set of defense attorneys.
Update: the LA Superior Court’s website appears to use dynamic addressing that prevents the deep-linking I’m doing for the jury questionnaire and briefing. They are available directly from the LA Superior Court page.
