Phil Spector convicted of the 2003 murder of Lana Clarkson
Phi Spector was convicted, today, of 2nd Degree murder for the 2003 death of Lana Clarkson. Clarkson was found in Spector's Alahambre, CA home with a gunshot wound in the roof of her mouth. She was 40 years old.
Spector could face 18 years to life in prison for this conviction. His 2007 trial ended in a mistrial when the jury was deadlocked at 10-2 for conviction. To be convicted of murder, the jury must be unanimous.
The prosecution produced five female witnesses to testify that Spector had threatened them with a pistol and his limo driver who testified that he saw Spector exit the house with a pistol and mention he thought he'd killed someone.
The defense argued that Clarkson's death was merely suicide. The prosecution, however, pointed out the fact that Clarkson had purchased a new pair of shoes on the day of her death. They said that a suicidal woman would not do such things. Spector will be sentenced on May 29.
Porn Actress, Marilyn Chambers, found
dead at 56; foul play?
In other news, Marilyn Chambers, a 1970's porn actress and face of Ivory soap, was found dead at her home on Sunday night. No cause of death has been determined, but police do not suspect foul play. She was in relatively good health, but seemed to have died of natural causes, sources say.
She was set to sign a contract to perform in a "tongue-in-cheek" off-Broadway production of "Deep Throat." She was happy and content with her life. Still, police do not suspect foul play. The tox report and autopsy report, however, are still not finished. More to come as this story develops.
