A prison photograph of Phil Spector has offered a rare view of the jailed music producer without one of his many wigs.
The mug shot, taken on 5 June, shows a gaunt, bald-pated man with long stringy hair on the sides of his head.
Spector, 69, was sentenced last month to 19 years to life for killing actress Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003.
Over the course of two trials the “Wall of Sound” pioneer turned heads with his flamboyant hairpieces – forbidden in US prisons unless medically necessary.
“They took my husband’s freedom and dignity. So why not his hair?” said Spector’s wife Rachelle. “In case you don’t know, they don’t allow for much accessorising while in prison.”
Har!
He looks worse in the courtroom pics.
Are there no personal privacy laws, in California? Can someone’s police mugshot be used this way?
#22 – sargassso – Can someone’s police mugshot be used this way?
Yes.
What a freaking loser.
Sargasso,
There is something called “public record”, and YOUR mug shot is part of it, too.
This creep was convicted in a court of law of the murder of a young stupid woman by the discharge of a 38 Caliber revolver that was placed in her mouth, pointed at her brain. Take a look at a 38 Caliber bullet and contemplate that rocketing through your palate. The cartridge, upon detonation, makes a loud noise. It made her head rock backwards, shattered. It is still not clear who pulled the trigger. But is certainly was not in HIS mouth, was it? This crud-shit deserves everything he is going to get. Posting his hideous picture is NOTHING, but I find it disgusting. Imagine him looking in his stainless steel mirror every day, getting uglier and uglier, until he is dead.
Interesting, the frealy afro looks the least crazy to me.
An evil genius
Looks like a gambler or poker player to me

I’m still trying to think of a scenario where a hairpiece would be medically necessary.

I was under the impression that arrest records are public, nationally.
Clearly this is prisoner torture…how dare they release these prison photos?
I got it!!!! The afro makes him look like Sideshow BOB.
.That guy should play The Joker in the next Batman movie
It’s funny how pathetic Bald guys are

Well, excuse me, stupid bitch, but HE took away his freedom and dignity away from himself the moment he commited the crime!
Some people are incredible lol
And yeah, he does look like Mr. Burns, only meaner
