Phil Spector Guilty of Second-Degree Murder
Crazy-haired music producer Phil Spector has been found guilty of second-degree murder in a Los Angeles court for the 2003 gruesome shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson. This was his second trial on the charge.
The first jury was hung back in 2007, with an unmoving 10-2 stalemate. That was ten for conviction, two for acquittal.
But now, after just 30 hours of deliberation, a second jury has returned a definitive guilty verdict. Spector, the man behind the Beatles' Let It Be, faces a possible 15 years to life sentence.
