Roger Rosen in 2007,
During the first Phil Spector murder trial.
Roger Rosen, who represented Phil Spector in his first murder trial in the death of Lana Clarkson, has agreed to never practice law again in order to avoid federal obstruction of justice charges.
The
New York Daily News reports:
Brooklyn, N.Y., federal prosecutors agreed to defer indicting Roger Rosen for obstructing justice because he is seriously ill, according to documents filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Apparently, Rosen informed alleged drug dealers that his client was singing to the federal government.
In December 2010, when Rosen's then-client Henry Butler started singing to the feds about the drug operation, Rosen sent notes from Butler's talks with prosecutors to Rosemond and his brother Mario Rosemond and crew member Darron Lamont Bennett.
I'll never forget Rosen. Back in 2007, he
made a complaint to Judge Fidler about my trial coverage. Apparently, Spector and his new wife didn't like the fact that I was describing in detail the outfits that the trial bride was wearing to court. Rosen made his complaint immediately after Judge Fidler accused me of being the individual who spoke so loudly in court the jury heard me. I received an apology from
Judge Fidler the following week.
