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.
