Music legend Phil Spector’s murder trial is underway, but jurors were alarmed when a bailiff attempted to trap salmon desperately swimming upstream in Phil’s hair.

When his mood turned sour, Spector’s hair would unfurl around his body encasing him in a proteinaceous shell which had to be peeled like a hairy banana for his own safety and the safety of the jurors.

Earlier, Spector had to be temporarily released so he could serve as the Seattle Space Needle.

By the end of the day, the FBI was alerted when it was determined that Spector had actually escaped and substituted a Chia-Spector in the courtroom.
