Phil Spector Jury Goes to Work

After five months of trial, 100’s of exhibits, scores of witnesses, and final arguments from prosecution and defense the jury will be asked to decide if Phil Spector is guilty of second degree murder.

Spector is charged with murder in the death of Lana Clarkson in February of 2003.

The prosecution argues that Phil Spector held a gun in Lana Clarkson’s mouth which he either intentionally discharged or accidentally discharged in conscious disregard for her life.

The most powerful prosecution evidence includes statements from women who have in the past been terrorized by Spector after an evening of excessive drinking and his statement “I think I killed somebody” … pretty powerful!

The defense argument focused on the crime scene evidence which showed that Spector had no gun shot residue, no blood spatter, and no tissue on his right arm and his torso where you expect to see such evidence if the prosecution scenario is accurate.

This case is a toss-up. It will be interesting to see how long it takes a jury to come to a conclusion … if they can.

Most probable outcome … Hung Jury!
