Here’s the top of the AP story:

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

A Los Angeles Superior Court jury returned the verdict Monday after an estimated 29 to 30 hours of deliberations.

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.

One thought on “Phil Spector guilty of murder

  1. If he did it, he should be in jail for the rest of his life. But in his final mugshot – it looks like he had just been interrupted from some horrid physical torture someone set him up for.
