Potential jurors answer questions in Spector case AP Posted: 2008-10-02 18:06:22 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Prospective jurors filled out questionnaires Thursday for the upcoming retrial of the murder case against music producer Phil Spector.
Several hundred potential panelists were set to file through the courtroom in the next several days, as jury selection got under way. Spector was in court wearing a dark suit and red tie. His first trial ended a year ago when jurors deadlocked 10-2, with the majority in favor of conviction. A unanimous vote was needed for conviction. Spector is charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of actress Lana Clarkson, 40, at his Alhambra mansion in 2003. He has pleaded not guilty. Spector, famed for his "Wall of Sound" recording technique in the 1960s, remained free on $1 million bail. Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler assured the prospective jurors that their names will be kept secret from him and the public to protect their privacy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Diamond Headz" group.
