PHIL SPECTOR APPEALS MURDER JUDGMENT TO US SUPREME COURT

SCOTUS Justice Kennedy Spector savior?

Per an anonymous commenter on this site, Philip Spector, convicted in Los Angeles of murdering failed movie actress Lana Clarkson, has been granted extra time to file an appeal with the United States Supreme Court.

According to SCOTUS docketing information, the extension request was filed by Spector appellate counsel Dennis P. Riordan, and was granted by Justice Kennedy extending the time to file until December 15, 2011.

This signals that the United States Supreme Court may soon review what some, including this blog, have viewed as a tainted judgment of conviction infected with structural error by the trial court.
