Judge Rules Spector Case a Mistrial
The judge overseeing the Phil Spector murder case has declared a mistrial.
Judge Larry Paul Fidler sent the members of the jury home on Wednesday after
hearing they were split ten to two after 12 days of deliberation and six
ballots - and unable to break their deadlock. Spector was accused of
murdering actress Lana Clarkson in his Alhambra, California mansion in 2003.
The trial began in April and featured 77 witnesses. Officials at the Los
Angeles District Attorney's office state they will retry the record
producer. Spector, who was in court in Los Angeles for the judge's decision,
will remain free on $1 million bail.
