The murder trial of Phil Spector ended today with the jury unable to decide if the legendary music producer had killed an actress he had known for only a few hours before her body was discovered in the foyer of his Alhambra mansion.
On its 12th day of deliberations, the jury of nine men and three women told Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler that it could not reach a verdict and was split 10 to 2 after six ballots. It was not known what the majority favored.
The jurors were asked by the judge if there was any hope of reaching a verdict. Each said no in the hushed downtown Los Angeles courtroom where the shaking Spector, 67, has been on trial since the end of April.
"We will try Phil Spector again," said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley. Gibbons said her office was disappointed.
So Sodaheads, do you think this is a good or a bad thing for Phil Spector (assuming hes going to go to trial again)? The trial has gotten its share of publicity, and it seems like everybody but the jury thinks the guy is guilty... so, will he be convicted next time around?
