Phil Spector has changed lawyers, leaving Robert Shapiro for Leslie Abramson :
Abramson, who became famous for her role in the murder trial of brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, said she had been phasing out her defense practice with an eye toward retirement when she was contacted by Spector.
"I was about to hang it up when I got the call," she said. "No other defendant would get me to give up my freedom. No other defendant was someone I considered an idol, an icon and the definition of cool."
It's nice to see Leslie back on the scene. She's a dynamo and will do a great job for Spector. Marcia Morrissey, another great LA defense lawyer, will be working the case with her.
