2:01 pm: Spector entered and I missed it.
Rachelle is in the front row. A few members of Donte’s family are here it looks like.
2:04 pm: The courtroom is very quiet.
Lana’s counsel arrive along with her family. They are trying to squeeze into the front row. This courtroom is packed to the gills.
Counsel, ready for the judge? (Wendy, Fidler’s clerk.)
Fidler is telling the courtroom he will not tolerate any outbursts. “Please seat the jury and the alternates.”
The jurors enter the courtroom. The alternates are led in from another way.
The last juror enters.
Verdict forms are being handed to the bailiff.
Clerk will read the verdict.
GUILTY 2nd Degree Murder!
Find that he personally used a firearm.
Setting a date for sentencing. Weinberg asking to be still released on bail pending sentencing.
Fidler asks to hear from Jackson. People are asking for immediate remand. “Court has to consider the protection of the public,” Jackson states. He goes onto mention the pattern of violence of the convict. Jackson mentions his prior convictions and the possibility that he now may flee.
Weinberg now pleads for Spector to remain on bail again. Fidler now speaks and explains his pending ruling. He is agreeing with the prosecutions arguments.

Finally Justice for Lana. Rest in peace now lady.
Thanks Sproket…and thank you for keeping us updated on this trial.
Roxanne said it best! God Bless her family and may they find some sort of solace with this verdict.
Thankyou Sprocket,
This has been a long trial and a lot of effort for you.
But it has nearly finished. You have done a great job.
how did you feel when the verdict came in?
I feel as if it was inevitable that this was how it would go.
I too would like to thank Sprocket for keeping us all up to date on the Spector Murder Trial.
Thanks for the personal touch of your coverage Sprocket. Must take alot out of you, to sit in on those trials. Funny how the media only showed up for sentencing.
Is that a recent pic of Spector? If it is, he’s aged alot since the last trial.
Sprocket thanks for your personal coverage,justice at last served and by a jury of his peers this time not by the media at least not that I have read about on this second trial.
SPROCKET, that was some great coverage on some difficult days, this made up for all of it! The expression on his face was priceless.
John J. Nazarian, P.I.
Good verdict. Thanks Sprocket.
