A Los Angeles judge on Thursday set a September date for pioneering rock producer Phil Spector's second trial on charges that he murdered actress Lana Clarkson in the foyer of his mock castle in 2003.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Larry Fidler ordered Spector to stand trial beginning on Sept. 29 in the high-profile case.
The jury in Spector's first trial deadlocked 10-2 in favor of a guilty verdict in September 2007, forcing Fidler to declare a mistrial, but prosecutors immediately said they would bring the case again.
Most of Spector's defense team quit in October causing delays in the retrial. The new defense team is seeking to have Fidler removed from the case, claiming he is biased against the 68-year-old rock producer.
Clarkson, 40, was found dead of a gunshot to the mouth early on the morning of Feb. 3, 2003 after Spector's driver called police to say that the record producer had killed someone.
Prosecutors say Spector, who is credited with revolutionizing pop music with his early 1960s "Wall of Sound" recordings, shot Clarkson while trying to prevent her from leaving.
They called a series of witnesses to testify that Spector had a history of brandishing guns at women when he was drunk and said forensic evidence indicated that the Colt Cobra .38 special revolver went off accidentally after he jammed it in Clarkson's face.
Defense attorneys countered that Clarkson, best known as the star of such B-movies as "Amazon Women on the Moon" and "Barbarian Queen," had been depressed and may have killed herself.
Spector, who first shot to fame as the mastermind behind the popular "girl groups" of the early 1960s and later worked with The Beatles, The Ronettes, The Ramones, Tina Turner and Cher, did not take the witness stand in his own defense.
He told a magazine interviewer early on in the case that Clarkson committed suicide for reasons he could not grasp.
After a five-month trial in 2007, the jury deliberated for 12 days before telling the judge that they were hopelessly deadlocked and could not reach a unanimous verdict.

Spector's defense reminds me of the mass murderer who looks at the cops and says,
"I was cleaning the gun when it went off."

Phil Spector rants about his relationship with The Beatles ahead of his murder retrial
By Mark Jefferies 25/10/2008

Hands trembling and eyes watering like a broken main, bonkers record producer Phil Spector lashes out left, right and centre in a bizarre interview.
He is a man with much to say – and a hell of a lot on his mind.
Spector – a legend in the music industry for creating the so-called “wall of sound” – is awaiting retrial in America for the killing of nightclub hostess Lana Clarkson.
Last year a jury failed to reach a decision and a new one has just been selected in LA.
Spector is on a million dollar-bail and could be banged up for life – but that doesn’t seem to be troubling him too much today.
Instead, he seems more concerned with settling old musical scores. Sir Paul McCartney, for one, is unlikely to be high up on his Christmas card list.
Spector was brought to London in 1970 by the Beatles’ manager Allen Klein and was given the task of turning abandoned Get Back sessions into the Let It Be album.
But while he had the backing of John Lennon and George Harrison, McCartney was in two minds – and Spector is scathing about one of Macca’s most famous ballads.
“The Long and Winding Road was a terrible recording when I first heard it,” he says.
“John was playing bass on it with all the wrong notes. There was no snare drum on it – I had to get Ringo in to play.
“It was really awful.”
Tell us what you really feel Phil.
He went on: “Paul was singing like he didn’t believe it, he was kinda mocking it. And John didn’t like the song. That’s why he played bass on it, and he didn’t know the chord changes so he was guessing.
“It was a farce and I had to do everything I could to cover up the mistakes.”
Warming up, Spector says producing the album was the recording job from hell.
“I worked with strangers in a hostile environment, hostile press, hostile people, all Beatle lovers who thought I was taking their Beatles away,” he says. “It was not an enviable task.”
“But I wanted Let It Be to be a great farewell album. I knew they were breaking up, I knew there wouldn’t be a reunion – the public didn’t.
“I was there to make a commercial album because I wanted to sell 12 million albums.
“And the public ended up buying it because I was Mr Commerciality. I wondered how I was going to put it together but I knew I could and I knew there was an album there.
“I don’t think McCartney is very secure that I went there in a few months and did what they couldn’t do in two years with those tapes.
“John was thrilled with what I did and George was thrilled with what I did, and Paul said he loved The Long and Winding Road when it was done.”
But in 2003, Macca brought out Let It Be... Naked which stripped the songs of Spector’s input – and this seems to have stung the producer big time.
He says: “I don’t know, what else could it be, except that it is a bug up his a**e? He waited 35 years to do it, I don’t know why, I don’t care why.
“Whatever the grievance, he has got me mixed up with somebody that gives a s**t.”
His hands shaking, Spector clearly does care – and the man who gave the world classic tunes like Be My Baby and You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ believes he is given far less respect than he deserves.
“I don’t get depressed cos I don’t let myself get depressed,” he says.
“It is a wasted emotion. But I’m concerned with the fact that I haven’t been made a doctorate at a college and Bill Cosby has, even Bob Dylan has.
“I think I have offered more to American culture and music than they have, or as much. George Martin, Paul McCartney are made sirs, Buddy Holly had a stamp, I love him, but he only lived three years in rock’n’roll.”
In the documentary, made by Oscar-winning director Vikram Jayanti, Spector reckons his influence extends way beyond music, and makes the bizarre claim that Hollywood legends Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro owe him their careers.
He says that Scorsese used Be My Baby without his permission in one of his earliest films, Mean Streets.
“I had never heard of this Scorsese guy and I called my attorney to get it pulled and he said it was a school project and an unknown director and to just let it go,” says Spector.
“So they told me not to get an injunction because everyone’s career is at stake – so I said they could work it out later. Fast forward to later and Scorsese is giving me the rights to other films and I am in Godfather and Taxi Driver.
“But the bottom line is that day I held Scorsese and De Niro’s career in my hand.”
As for the upcoming retrial for the death of Lana Clarkson, Spector insists people are out to get him.
He describes the judge of the first trial as a “mean son of a bitch” and admits: “I have been ostracised from the industry with this indictment hanging over me. Innocent until proven guilty is no longer a factor.”
The weird Afro-style hairdo which he sported during the trial may have done him few favours – but Spector insists it was (almost) deliberate.
He says: “It took me four-and-a-half hours to get it like that, I woke up at four o’clock in the morning and had to perm it and do everything to it. It was a tribute to Einstein and Beethoven.
“Jay Leno said it looked like I had already been electrocuted. But I didn’t mean to be that comical. We went beyond the extreme and no one pointed it out to me.”
When he is asked how he will cope if he does get sent down for murder, he mumbles: “I’ll be in a jail with Bubba, 6ft 8 Bubba and he’ll be my husband.”
Whatever you say Phil.

Jury in Spector murder trial reaches verdict
April 13, 2009 2:51 PM
LOS ANGELES -- The jury in Phil Spector's murder retrial has signaled it has reached a verdict. The Los Angeles Superior Court jury buzzed the courtroom three times at late morning Monday.
The court clerk says the verdict will be read no earlier than 2 p.m. PDT (2100 GMT).
Spector is charged with murdering "Barbarian Queen" actress Lana Clarkson in 2003. The case went to the jury March 26 but there were repeated interruptions including juror illnesses. Spector's first trial ended in 2007 with a 10-2 jury deadlock. The majority favored conviction.

Gonna throw on the box set for personal background music.
Damn, after reading that interview, I think he and Gallagher should become pen pals.
The Article actually makes me a little more intrigued by him. I've always thought McCartney was an insecure jerk jealous of the other's talents (particularly George), and the Let It Be Naked, seems to make more sense in that hindsight.
Rich White Guy vs. Media, Im guessing Rich White Guy wins.
Edit: Guilty, I was wrong.

His attorney's tried to get him out until sentencing in late May. No go. He's in jail now. 15 years to life.

That 'Back to Mono: 1958-1969' compilation is particularly excellent. I fell in love with The Paris Sisters - 'I love How You Love Me' after hearing Caribou use it in one of his tour cd remixes.
Onto disc 3 you've lost that loooovin' feeling
and a bit surprised at the lack of SOMBies weighing in on this.

Don't really know what to say, he's a convicted murderer I'll feel more uncomfortable listening to his music as a result. More so than I do with Jonathan King and Gary Glitter.
I really wasn't surprised to hear this. Obviously the guy's contribution to pop music is undeniable, but anybody who didn't think Spector was capable of this is even crazier than he is.
Probably have to stop wearing my "Back To Mono" button on my guitar strap now. Fuck that.

Many people recommend separating the art from the artist, but sometimes it's tough. Though never convicted, I'll always see Pete Townshend as a guy who might like little boys. I love a lot of the music Phil Spector produced, but will primarily see him as a murderer.
His personality and reckless penchant for guns was never a secret...for that reason, this verdict doesn't change my enjoyment of his music 'cause I already accepted the fact that he was a douchebag.
Phil Spector dies for O.J.'s sins.
(and Barretta)
Nostracoolrock predicted this verdict when the trial began.
The public was getting sick of the high and mighty getting off scott-free, especially in California.
To wit, Phil has a blazing history as a gun-nut, and, as I also predicted (ooooh---stop me!!!), every fucking story of him pulling a gun on somebody (even a buddy of mine had one---I don't think he testified, though---make that almost every fucking story) was put on display, especially the ones involving women.
I'm not saying the man is innocent. I think they were doing some sex shit with a gun---no doubt, coked outta they gourds; Phil did not stop with that cameo in "Easy Rider", ya know---and Phil is probably make her fellate one of his favorite weapons, and his shaky-assed, coked-out finger pulls the trigger.
I don't understand why he didn't get a lesser charge; accidental homicide, manslaughter, etc.
I think his defense team dropped the ball, which usually indicates that the client is running out of money.
Don't be surprised if your read, in the not-too-distant future, that Phil Spector is broke.
He will go to jail, if he doesn't flee the country. He probably should be in jail; chrissake, somebody that's always waving a gun around is going to hurt somebody eventually, good thing it wasn't a kid or something.
But OJ hacked his wife's tits off, and he got to walk.
At least, until he ran out of money.
Ju$tice.

My take as well.
Plenty of artists are douchbags, If I had to stop listening to the douchebags I'd have a half empty MP3 player.
Convicted murderers, rapists, woman beaters, paedophiles notch slightly higher than douchebags IMO.

Douchebag & convicted murderer of course but completely fucking insane for 40+ years, if not from day 1. If you were happy enough admiring his stuff knowing that he kept Ronnie a hostage for years, that he recorded the Ramones at gunpoint etc, this shouldn't make too much difference. The murdering fruitcake is just the creative genius fruitcake + (coke + time + isolation etc).

There isn't really a whole lot to say about it. The guy was once a great record producer. His Christmas album (somewhat ironically) is one of the greatest things ever recorded, IMO. But yeah, he was a whack-job and now he's going to jail. I haven't read much on this. Has Ronnie had much to say on the subject? Did she testify at all. Her's would certainly be an interesting perspective.
I guess I just don't care much about this. I'm all about the songs anyway, not the producer. Never really cared about Spector as a producer anyway and his box set tends to sit unplayed in it's sleeve for the most part, so meh, another one bites the dust.
coolrock's cynicism is even getting old to me. maybe i should quit the somb too, seems like it's a good time to do it.

he's a goner. i seriously doubt he'll walk out pushing 90 by the time his sentence ends.
19 to life is kind of a big range there. I suppose not for a guy of his age, but that's a really strange sentence.
Anyways-- love his music; hope the crazy bastard rots or at least unravels that knotted up brain of his. If you believe everything you read (and I do!), it's all for the best.

Phil Spector Beat Up In Jail For Talking Shit
QUOTE
"Phil has quite a mouth on him," says longtime pal and defender Steven Escobar. "Not everyone understands his humor. He said the wrong thing to the wrong inmate in the yard."
QUOTE
Mrs. Spector, 29, argues that "anyone who meets Phil loves him. He's so freakin' funny. He's an idol to the other inmates. They look out for him. They also know he was wrongfully convicted."
