Los Angeles Criminal Attorney Reveals Details of Lana Clarkson Case on Court TV

With that said, it is all confusing as well as somewhat irregular to say the least to find out that Sarah Caplan – one of Phil Spector’s lawyers actually testified against former client during the motion hearings. This fact is not only irregular – it really stands out and it is somewhat difficult to form an objective opinion on the matter. People view this fact very differently and there is a lot of controversy around Caplan’s actions.

One way or the other, even though Sarah Caplan testified earlier, she refused to testify on the very same matter before the jury and there is a lot of speculating going on about it. It is important to understand that the case is becoming more and more complicated, especially seeing how Caplan was a part of the law firm that was working for Spector – the very same team that Spector fired and is now suing.

Clearing the matter is quite challenging and not as straightforward as a lot of people would like it to be. However, a former prosecutor, who is now a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, tried to comment that fact and explained that seeing how the new evidence arisen in this case, it was clear and entirely obvious that Caplan would be risking to ruin her entire career by testifying for the jury.

See, yet another person appears to be interested in clearing things up a bit. We are, of course, talking about Zvonko “Bill” Pavelic. He is a retired LAPD officer and he is claiming that prosecutorial misconduct took place in this particular case. In fact, Pvelic was working with the Shapiro team and is not calling Caplan a liar, who is doing her best to ruin the reputation of Dr. Lee. Pavelic has photos with a retired LA Sheriff’s detective, Stanley White and Sarah Caplan. They are both in the foyer area of Spector’s house, at the death scene. The photos were taken on February 4, 2007. However, Caplan testified that White was not there, in the foyer area. The photos were already given to Spector’s defense team.

Criminal lawyer considers that Caplan decided to go against the court’s orders to testify, because this new evidence would make her a witness and in these conditions it would not only ruin her reputation as an attorney – it could make things even more difficult for her in general. One way or the other, the Spector’s case is becoming very much similar to the O.J.’s and we all know how it turned out in the end.

Getting back to Caplan’s decision to testify at first, it is safe to say that she was pretty certain that her testimony will be decisive and, unless the above-mentioned evidence had not been identified, who knows how the case would go in the end.

According to Los Angeles criminal lawyer, who has plenty of experience in this field and talks from a very knowledgeable perspective, Caplan would not testify even if she were really pressured, since her actions and wrongdoings already led to a fiasco and she is swiftly losing her good reputation, which is without a doubt the worst that could ever happen to an attorney.

The situation is a very challenging one and difficult to comment upon, but, despite the missing crucial piece of evidence as well as Caplan’s words, it is clear that the case will end up similarly to the O.J. Simpson’s. The prosecution is already doing its best to prosecute Spector and Caplan could be an invaluable witness. But now that she is not testifying, the future of this case is somewhat unclear and unpredictable. The Spector case could turn out to be a grand fiasco for both the prosecution and Caplan herself.
