Baudolino says FIVE FUCKING YEARS? For a case to decide whether one of the TWO people in a room killed the other one, or whether she killed herself? There are times when I despair over the future of the legal profession

Augusts1 says Amazing this is still going on when there's so much more important issues going on that need the attention of the courts. Not that the murder isn't important but Spector's lawyers have just drawn this out way too long . . . .

Robin Danar says the legal system was actually a pretty brilliant plan by a bunch of entrepreneurs a couple of hundred years ago. make the laws, set it up so there's this "democracy" thing where you get hired to take on each side of the case to be voted on by folks that have to skip work, take on the biggest paying "gigs" you can find and stretch them out, then get paid first no matter what the decision.
