CRIMINAL BEATS Episode: It's time to take another trip to the musical dark side!
This track* by the Rolling Stones called Claudine is about the french singer and actress Claudine Longet, who never really caught a break in the spotlight, but was best remembered for fatally shooting her boyfriend, ski legend Spider Sabich in their Aspen, CO chalet on March 21, 1976.
At the trial she claimed the gun went off accidentally when he was showing her how to use it.
We'd love to hear what you think about this case. Was it an accident? Crime of passion? Planned?
*You won't find this song on their original studio albums. They recorded it for Some Girls, but couldn't include it on that 1978 album because of legal issues. The song's official release date was November 2011 on the deluxe edition of the Stone's Some Girls album.
