Phil Spector To Face Murder Retrial This September

More Phil Spector

Music producer Phil Spector is to go on trial for a second time in connection with the murder of b-movie actress Lana Clarkson.

Spector will return to court on September 29th after his first trial ended in a hung jury last year.

The new court date was set yesterday (May 22nd) by Judge Larry Paul Fidler, who presided over the original trial.

Spector, who is responsible for the pioneering Wall of Sound recording technique, is accused of murdering Clarkson at his home in Los Angeles in 2003.

However, his defence team argues that Clarkson killed herself as a result of her struggling acting career, reports the Associated Foreign Press.

If found guilty, Spector could face up to 15 years in prison.
