Julian2 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Phil Spector found guilty of murder over death of actress. Phil Spector, inventor of the "Wall of Sound" and one-time producer of The Beatles, was tonight found guilty of murder - more than six years after a blonde cocktail hostess died of a gunshot wound to the mouth at his Los Angeles home. Spector, 69, a music icon synonymous with the Sixties - and also renowned for his later work with such acts as The Ramones and Tina Turner - faces a prison sentence of 15 years to life after being held responsible for the death of Lana Clarkson in the early hours of Monday, February 3, 2003. A heavy drinker who reportedly cultivated an obsession with bodyguards and firearms after once being accosted and urinated on by four men in a public toilet, Spector declined to testify during the trial, in spite of being perhaps the only witness. The producerâ??s only statement on the shooting to date remains a 2003 comment to Esquire magazine. â??She kissed the gun,â? he said. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
