Tooth or nail?

Gregory Diamond, the former clerk to defense attorney Robert Shapiro, is testifying that forensics expert Michael Baden identified a white object turned over to him by the defense as a tooth, not a nail. The testimony came as the court tries to determine whether Phil Spector's legal team hid potentially important evidence in his murder case. The evidence is a fingernail allegedly taken from Spector's mansion after the shooting death of Lana Clarkson. Prosecutors in the past have said the fingernail, if it exists, had gunshot residue that could indicate Clarkson shot herself. The defense has denied having the fingernail.

Am I missing something? If the fingernail proves she shot herself, why would the defense withhold it??

This should cause a reopening of the murder of John Lennon. If he shot the studio where Lennon was recording he possibly shot Lennon.

The insane guy they arrested and/or framed is likely just a guy seeking attention and fame from his claim that he did it.

The murder of John Lennon needs to be reopened.

Where was Spector on the day Lennon died. Do his gun and bullets match those used to kill Lennon?

The defense appears to have intentionally misnamed the evidence to hide how she was killed. Possibly to hide the evidence. For example, if they say they don't have a head when a head is required then change the paperwork to call a head a foot then everyone goes chasing a foot when what they had as evidence is a head. You chase ghosts that way. You chase something that doesn't exist. This is playing dirty and it means they believe he's guilty because they are doing desperate things to hide the guilt by hiding evidence. They made the evidence invisible by claiming a tooth was a nail.

It was a tooth. They don't have a nail. If there was a nail it might prove she killed herself. But they don't have one. Because she didn't kill herself so she didn't lose a nail. They are trying to confuse the public and the jury by renaming the item. It is tooth they took and a tooth they need to give back. Her hands weren't used to kill here. There is no nail as evidence. Don't let them throw you off.

The tooth would prove that he did it. The nail would prove that she did not do it.

Or rather, if there's no nail then she did not do it.

Still, if she lost a nail grabbing his hand to push the gun away it might show there was his skin under the nail as she fought him off. Or he could have lost a nail somehow but it's his nail with gun residue which would mean he did it.

He already told his driver that he killed someone, immediatly after the driver heard a gun shot and walked to his car. We know she didn't kill herself and we know she didn't lose a nail unless it was to fight him off. He's already admitted it to his driver.

What I want to know is what evidence we can find that he killed Lennon too. He shot up the studio where Lennon was recording and was Lennon's producer at the time. It seems more likely that he's the sort who would kill Lennon, not some poor fool named Chapman. Obsessed fans don't kill their idols. A depressed, unstable music producer with a long history of pulling guns on his friends and business associates and who molested sexually his two sons might.

We should ask his sons if they believe he killed Lennon. They might give us more insight into his frame of mind at the time and his feelings toward Lennon. We should find out if Ono was having an affair with him while she was separated from Lennon. He produced her music too. She prostituted her employee to Lennon during the separation. She doesn't seem to be above an affair with her record producer. She seems sexually overly generous. Bang might know. She's the employee.
