Man this guy was/is a genius. He produced the Beatles etc. What (if he's guilty, it looks ominous) has happened to him? Of course, let's not forget the victim. This is so sad. :(

I just could not believe it, so I went looking for a story:

Thanx for the heads up, Charlie! :(

Wow..that IS sad! :( He's fallen a long way, if it's true. And I hope the victim's family isn't trampled by the press because of his fame. Thanks for link, Skywalker.

I guess we tend to think it odd when a famous person shoots someone. It just seems so unlikely, as if they couldn't possibly have done it. Fame, of course, does not make a person more or less innocent and if he did commit murder he is just as guilty as the average person. It's just such a waste when a murder is committed.

Well he's now been "charged" with murder apparently....Dunno what else to say.

That is really sad indeed. :( One of the greatest producers of all time. Not much information in that article.

Spectre? As in SPecial Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion?

I do agree with you Skywalker. I don't know any statistics but I kind of guess (rightly or wrongly) that it's usually the poorer classes that shoot each other. It's such a shock that someone who on the outside seems to have it all, the world at his feet almost, can for some psychological reason be driven to an act such as this.

Obviously my words are supposition. We don't yet know he done it. There's no harm in discussing it however.

I read on another forum that the victim was Lana Clarkson, but I've not been able to verify. If so, she starred in Deathstalker(1984) and Barbarian Queen(1992) among others. This caught me by surprise as well. Even more sad.

[EDIT] Found a source with very little info:

It does not say if she is the person I think she is, but the age does fit since she was born in 1962.

Yup, that's the person you're thinking of. MSNBC has some information. I don't know if you were trying to kid or not, wellard, but he is using OJ's lawyer!
