But the trial has been straight out of Hollywood from the beginning. Spector, a former star producer, has sported an array of odd hairdos to his trial in the murder case of would-be star Lana Clarkson. Jurors are still waiting to hear from another celebrity of sorts: famed criminologist Henry Lee who should take the stand next week.
But at the same time, the trial could be launching a new star in Cutler. Among the celebrity jurors on Cutler's show will be Phyllis Diller and Dick van Patten. "It's a chance of a lifetime and I have a real nice time, and I find it challenging inspirational motivational and educational and I just hope I'm equal to the task really," Cutler said.
Cutler says he's still involved in every aspect of Spector's defense. "Everybody understands that the real trial that I'm enmeshed in, that I'm involved in, that I'm embroiled in, comes first but this comes as a good time to everybody," he said. "I'm able to do this and still able to come back to court and fight the fight.
" Cutler says the other lawyers on the defense team are very competent and the team is "multi-layered." But the Spector team suffered a set back recently. The judge ruled that a security guard can testify about damaging remarks he heard Spector make at a party a decade ago.
But the defense has only just begun and, Cutler says, he will return. "The jurors will know from me that I was on a mission and I didn't miss a second of testimony, not a scintilla of evidence did I miss," he said.
