Mistrial for Phil Spector

The jury has been deliberating for the last 12 days on whether or not Phil Spector is guilty of murdering actress Lana Clarkson.  The jury was unable to make a unanimous decision.  There were ten jurors that found the producer guilty, but two that did not agree.

In a press release, the Los Angeles prosecuter did not hesitate to reveal their disappointment. "We are disappointed the jury was unable to reach a verdict. We will seek the court’s permission to re-try the case and begin immediately to prepare for a re-trial."

The 67-year-old producer has denied shooting Clarkson, and making it look like a suicide attempt.  The incident happened on February 3, 2003 at Spector’s luxurious residence in Alhambra, California.

Spector started out as a musician, and rapidly started producing albums for artists such as: The Beatles, Ike and Tina Turner, The Ronettes and The Ramones.
