Phil Spector Found GUILTY of Second Degree Murder

Guess that little dance of his in front of the mansion after the last hung jury was premature celebration.

Music producer Phil Spector has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the February 2003 shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson.

Jurors also found Spector personally used the firearm in the commission of the crime.

Spector and his wife entered the courtroom at about 2 p.m. His son and daughter were seated next to him at the counsel’s table.

Members of the Clarkson family, including her mother and sister, also were in the courtroom.

As of this morning, the jury had spent about 29 hours discussing the case over eight days since March 26.

Spector, 69, was charged with murder in the Feb. 3, 2003, shooting death of 40-year-old actress and House of Blues VIP hostess Lana Clarkson at his mansion in Alhambra. He claims she shot herself with his gun.

This was a bizzare case with a bizzare character who will now likely spend the rest of his days in a California prison.

Lesson learned: Don’t play around with guns, especially when you are drinking.
