Legendary Music Producer, Phil Spector has been found guilty of the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson. It seems like this trial has been going on forever, so it’s good to see there’s some closure.
Six years after Clarkson was found dead in the foyer of Spector’s mansion, the diminutive 69-year-old now finds himself in a Los Angeles jail cell after he was convicted on Monday. His sentencing is scheduled for May 29 where he faces at least 18 years to life in prison barring a successful appeal.
Spector, wearing one of his signature suits with a long black coat, red tie and red handkerchief, had no obvious reaction. His 28-year-old wife, Rachelle, sobbed as the verdict was announced. Spector was led out of the courtroom by sheriff’s deputies and remanded to jail immediately. [Billboard]
