Mark Evanier, who has done a lot of work in comics and TV, and who is widely regarded as something of an expert on Jack "King" Kirby (He’s even written a book about Kirby, as you can see here. Warning: Early Birthday Present Suggestion Alert), has a blog that is entertaining and full of interesting (to me, at least) “behind the scenes” tidbits about the history of comics.
In one of his most recent posts he discusses the Phil Spector trial. He’s stated that if Spector is found innocent he (Evanier) will go on a killing spree, as such a verdict would prove that anyone in show business can get away with murder.
He lists off the relatively small number of people he will target, elucidating his reasons for including them, and then goes on to complain about how long it’s taking the jury to reach a verdict:
But here's the problem. If there's no verdict today, there might be one tomorrow...which would mean the ideal time to start my killing spree would be Saturday. Trouble is, I have plans for the weekend. I can't spare the time to murder three people. I could maybe squeeze in one but what kind of killing spree is that? Wouldn't even make the tabloids. And then Monday and Tuesday, I have meetings all day so that won't work.
Ah yes, the eternal struggle to find the time to kill all of the people on your list.
