Phil Spector is awaiting trial for the murder of Lana Clarkson.
British soap star Leslie Grantham did ten years for murder before he became an actor.
Sid Vicious
As ever nowadays Wikipedia is the best resource.
One nutjob would add Stephen King to the list.
Some people would add Michael Schiavo.
One of my favorites (the details are pretty hairy, according to court proceedings I’ve read) - western swing bandleader Spade Cooley -

I gotta ask – did anyone feel a twinge of suspicion at the circumstances of William Shatner’s ex-wife’s death in 1999? I’m over it now, but at the time, I wondered.
No, if he was responsible, Columbo would have caught him again.
Phil Hartman of SNL was murdered by his wife, so I guess that doesn’t count. Then there was Chris Farley, Jim Belushi, Chris Rocket and John Candy. Perhaps this qualifies SNL as a celebrity killer?
You mean John
Or he meant professionally.
And was John Candy ever on SNL? I know that he did movies with SNL alums, but can’t remember him being a cast member.
Neither Wiki nor imdb say that it was a hit and run. At the time of the accident was it reported that she drove off without stopping? If she did drive off, did the cops find her or did she come forward voluntarily?
Erm, apart from anything else, was Schiavo famous before the horrendous episode concerning his wife?
Tell that to the waiter Norman Mailer…
Chris Eubank (boxer) killed a fellow motorist in England in a car accident.
Yeah, John Rocket.
I was surprised to see Arlene Francis has killed people on two different occasions. It’s always the quiet ones.
:eek:
Wow. A genuine “Deep Space Cowboy.”
Arbuckle was acquitted.
Carlos Salinas, ex president of Mexico, murdered a 12 year old servant girl when he was only four.http://www.eco.utexas.edu/~archive/chiapas95/1995.05/msg00267.html His brother Raul almost certainly ordered the murder, in broad daylight on a public street, of his brother-in-law Pepe Ruiz Masseu.http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/mexico/family/raulsalinas.html
Both are living in extreme luxury today on money they stole from the Mexican people.
Robert Blake was acquitted too. That doesn’t mean they’re both not murderers.
