An actual murder conviction in Los Angeles. Who'da thought?

I guess they weren't dealing with the incompetence of Lance Ito and Marcia Clark this time.

PHIL SPECTOR GUILTY OF 2ND DEGREE MURDER

LOS ANGELES – Rock music producer Phil Spector was convicted Monday of second-degree murder in the shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson at his mansion six years ago.

A Superior Court jury returned the verdict after an estimated 29 to 30 hours of deliberations. The jury had the option of choosing involuntary manslaughter, but did not do so.

Spector's young wife, Rachelle, sobbed as the decision was announced.

The 40-year-old Clarkson, star of the 1985 cult film "Barbarian Queen," died of a gunshot fired in her mouth as she sat in the foyer of Spector's mansion in 2003. She met Spector only hours earlier at her job as a nightclub hostess.

Prosecutors argued Spector had a history of threatening women with guns when they tried to leave his presence.

The defense claimed she killed herself.

It was Spector's second trial. His first jury deadlocked 10-2, favoring conviction in 2007.

wow first oj now spector...whats next blake?

They're gonna love him in jail.

Don't drop the soap, Phil.

And don't make friends with someone named Bubba either.

Hey, what would GOODFELLAS and MEAN STREETS have been like without all of those great "girl group" songs that Spector produced?

He wrote "Be My Baby," which opened MEAN STREETS, too.

And now where he's headed, it'll be sung to him.

He has a long history of psycho behavior.

Wow, it took long enough for this process to play out. I'm sure the victim's family is glad this is over.

I remember Spector somewhat during his day. I doubt money will buy hiis freedom (fortunately). What a crappy life he'll have now. Oh, and not only that, but after looking at the video Ice posted, he's aged horribly.

TIS

Love love love his music...but dude's a psycho.
