Posted April 14, 200916 yr US music producer Phil Spector has been convicted of murdering actress Lana Clarkson, after a five-month retrial. The 68-year-old, famous for the "Wall of Sound" recording technique, faces between 18 years and life in prison. He had pleaded not guilty to the second degree murder of 40-year-old Ms Clarkson, who was shot in the mouth at Spector's home in Los Angeles. Spector was remanded in custody until sentencing on 29 May. His lawyer has said he intends to appeal. "I don't think justice was done today," said lawyer Doron Weinberg. Spector had looked frail as he entered the Los Angeles Superior Court, dressed in a black suit with a bright red tie. The jury took some 30 hours of deliberation to reach their unanimous guilty verdict. As the verdict was read out, Spector remained quiet and his wife Rachelle sobbed.

April 14, 200916 yr I wonder if he's records will be banned from the airwaves, he may not be a p**** but murder is just/or almost as bad.
April 14, 200916 yr I don't think they will get banned as such, but radio stations might choose not to play them.
April 15, 200916 yr i dont really think they should ban his produced records, that would penalise the innocent artists. in reality his material is rarely played now anyway. pity such an inovative producer should end up like this....
April 17, 200916 yr Spookily these events were almost foreshadowed by a character based on Spector in a trashy 1970s movie... :angry: thats FILM richie m8! :lol: Well, if you ignore some of the craziness... When Art Imitates Life
