ТРуля, не применяй некрасивые приёмчики, если не имеешь логичных аргументов.

Есть деньги у тех, кто или не разбрасывает их попусту - или ворует;)

Ну про типы ты же уже написал вроде... :grum: Тока не забудь про моральную деградацию и депрессию стареющей, бывшей гламурной актриссы. ;)

Миша, его деньги и он их тратит как хочет.
Твой аргумент, что деньги подобные кто имеет - тот ворует, как раз не логичен.

Серж, у тебя есть возражения по существу написанного? Ты же вот заявил, что он - "безoбидный дедушка" - это откуда?

Труля, не искажай мои утверждения. "Имеет" и "транжирит" - разные вещи. "Как пришло-так и ушло " - это не мной придумано.

Если некто "экстравагантный" - это его право, лишь бы не убивал. Но заскоки - это фон, который нельзя отметать, если расследуются преступление.

"LOS ANGELES — O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, Robert Blake and now Phil Spector.
How come prosecutors in Southern California can't seem to convict celebrities of serious crimes?
Some legal experts say it's not that jurors in Hollywood's backyard are starstruck.
Instead, they say, the verdicts _ or in Spector's case, the hung jury _ have more to do with weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and the vast ability of the rich and famous to hire the finest legal and forensic talent.
"I don't think it's universally true, but it may be as difficult to put a multimillionaire in prison as it is to put a camel through the eye of a needle," Loyola University law professor Stan Goldman said a day after a mistrial was declared in Spector's murder case.
Fellow Loyola law professor Laurie Levenson said of the Spector case: "People who don't know very much about the case will call it a celebrity verdict. It's not. It was about questions the jury didn't get answered. And it was also about resources."
/**/
Spector, the legendary music producer accused of shooting to death B-movie actress Lana Clarkson at his mansion, hired at various points such big-name lawyers as former John Gotti attorney Bruce Cutler and Simpson lawyer Robert Shapiro.
And he was able to equip his defense with a who's who of forensic scientists _ Michael Baden, Werner Spitz, Vincent DeMaio and Henry Lee _ who helped make the case that Clarkson stuck the gun in her mouth and killed herself. The jury reported it was hopelessly deadlocked 10-2 in favor of conviction.
Simpson, similarly, had his Dream Team of lawyers, including the wily Johnnie Cochran Jr. and F. Lee Bailey. Jackson had well-regarded attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr., who won an acquittal for the pop star at his child molestation trial and also represented Blake at the "Baretta" star's preliminary hearing on charges of murdering his wife. Blake was ultimately acquitted.
Levenson said that Spector's fame was so far in the past that it had no relevance. Spector's dazzling career as the recording studio wizard who developed the "Wall of Sound" and worked with such acts as the Beatles, the Righteous Brothers and the Ronettes was barely mentioned at his trial.
In fact, one member of the jury, Ricardo Enriquez, said in a TV interview: "I didn't know who this man was and it didn't play any part."
Instead, Levenson said Spector's wealth enabled him to mount an impressive defense with the facts that were there.
"It was a difficult case," she said. "There are no direct witnesses; we'll never know exactly what happened. It's never going to be like watching the crime happen on TV."
Jean Rosenbluth, a former prosecutor in the Los Angeles U.S. attorney's office and now a law professor at the University of Southern California, said the jury's 10 guilty votes run counter to the perception that Southern Californians won't convict a celebrity.
"In Michael Jackson, in Robert Blake, in O.J., there were real problems with the prosecution's case. So I don't think you can just say, `Gee, celebrities get off.' I think that those were difficult cases to win," she said.
The nature of murder or sex abuse cases, which typically have few witnesses, lend themselves to reasonable doubt, she said.
Mesereau took issue with the notion that celebrities with enough money can buy themselves justice.
"The prosecution is used to bowling over a poor defendant," he said. "When they occasionally run into a wealthy defendant who makes it a horse race, they start to say the defendant has bought justice. What they bought is fairness."
In the Spector case, he said, the prosecution had vast government resources.
"They had the Sheriff's Department, the crime lab, the coroner's office. Their forensic experts were paid for by the taxpayers," Mesereau said. "Nothing Spector did could equal what the district attorney's office had."
In the end, he said, it came down to the evidence..." ;)
