DA: Who buys shoes, then commits suicide?
Music producer Phil Spector, on trial for the second time in connection with the 2003 death of an actress at his home, is “a very dangerous man,” a prosecutor told jurors Monday.
The victim in the case, Lana Clarkson, was “a murder waiting to happen,” deputy district attorney Truc Do said in closing arguments.
Spector, 69, is charged with second-degree murder in Clarkson’s death. The 40-year-old actress was found dead of a gunshot wound through the roof of her mouth in February 2003, at Spector’s Alhambra, California, home .
The prosecution concluded its closing arguments Monday. Defense closing arguments are set to begin Tuesday. Jurors could begin deliberating by the end of the week…A mistrial was declared in Spector’s first trial in September 2007. After deliberating for 15 days, jurors were unable to reach a verdict, telling Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler they were split 10-2.
Let’s hope they get it right this time.
