Phillip Spector appellate counsel Dennis P. Riordan appears to consult a higher authority (Spector seated to Riordan’s right)
The California Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District in Los Angeles today granted the request of the California Attorney General for more time to oppose music producer Phil Spector’s appeal from his 2009 conviction and life sentence arising out of the producer’s alleged second degree murder of failed actress-turned-cocktail hostess Lana Clarkson.
The attorney General represents the People of the State of California in most felony appeals arising out of the California Superior Court.
The new due date for the AG brief is August 9, 2010.
Further extensions in the briefing schedule are anticipated in light of the length of the trials (in each instance six months) and the substantial, multiple issues raised by Spector in his Opening Brief on Appeal.
Stay tuned here for the latest legal developments and legal analysis.
