The Trial. Well there was no trial but had one taken place what would the defence have been? Lets assume a plea of not guilty. Then the first line of approach would have been to claim that the prosecution had in fact failed to prove any case to answer under the charge of second degree murder. After all the prosecution had no witness to the crime, very little evidence and definately no finger prints. In short what the prosecution would present to the court consists entirely of frorensic evidence. Lets take a closer look at this evidence. Yes the prosecutuion can show that Nancy Spungen died from a knife wound just bellow the sternum. And yes they ( the prosecution ) can show that in all probability that wound was the result of a knife penitration like or similar to that which would be produce by exhibits T1and T2. From Rockets Redglare who delivered a quantity of synthetic morphine to room 100 around 1.30.He took several hundred dollars promising to supply more the following day. When he left some time between 4 and 5am that morning Nancy was still alive. When leaving the hotel Redglare says that he saw another dealer, Steve Cincotti arriving. Cincotti statement says he supplied Sid and Nancy with Tuinal and then left. There are at least three important questions that need asking of both Mr Redglare and Mr Cincotti. When Rockets delivered the morphine and took several hundred dollars to supply more. Did he see more money in the room? Did Cincotti see more money in the room?Did either of them see Sid take the morphine or the tuinol. If so what physical state was he in ? Was he coherent ? Was he conscious ? From the defence's point of view a close exsamination of the murder weapon is not usually in their clients best interest and when introduced by the prosecution is quickly glossed over by the defence if at all possible. So lets look at these knifes. In fact lets call Mr Leon to the stand and find out if these are the knifes he was reffering to in his statement to the New York Police. Because if these are the knifes in question then something is seriously amiss. According to Mr Leon these lock knifes were supposedly recent purchases. But that is not consistent with their physical condition. If the answer to the first question is yes then where did that money go ? It was never found. Perhaps after Cincotti left both Sid and Nancy passed out. Later still an unknown Third party entered room 100 and awoke Nancy. And in the process of a burglary murdered Nancy. The second defence that could have been deployed and in hindsight is probably the true story of what happened in room 100 that night. We know from Deborah Spungen that Nancy had predicted that she would never see the age of twenty-one. " I'm going to die very soon. Before my 21st birthday. I won't live to be 21. I'm never going
