SPROCKET’S TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS HITS THE HEADLINES. (AGAIN!)
29th January 2008
I am not sure whether or not this will come as news to the Spector Trial blogging community. This morning by snailmail from the United States comes the January issue of ABAJournal, a magazine published by the American Bar Association. It is addressed, c/o my home, to my youngest son who recently completed law school in the USA and is now back here in the UK. It contains a six page feature article entitled Full Court Coverage by Stephanie Francis Ward which kicks off with a quote from Betsy Ross (Sprocket) and goes on to describe the impact that her writing has had on the trial.
The domestic matters to which I referred in my last posting continue to monopolise my every waking hour. I have not yet had time to read the article from end to end but I can see that Sprocket gets mentioned many times. I have done a quick google and, so far as I can see, the article has had very little currency on the web. Neither can I find a reference to it on the Trials & Tribulations web site. This is strange but, fortunately, the one thing that has turned up on the Internet is the article itself which is well worth reading if you happen to be a follower of Phil Spector’s dealings with the Justice system. It can be found here.
I have to return to the domestic matters that are no less pressing now than they were three weeks ago. I have a good feeling when I read articles like that in the ABAJournal because I have always said that Trials and Tribulations and The Darwin Experience are, in their different ways, very exceptional examples of trial reportage. In any future history of the evolution of the Media they will get more than a footnote.
