Phil Spector Found Guilty of Second-Degree Murder

Jurors also had the option of convicting Phil Spector of manslaughter, something not offered in the first trial.

Phil Spector faces a minimum of 18 years in prison. His defense maintained Lana Clarkson committed suicide. However, prosecutors alleged Spector shot Clarkson in the mouth after she tried to leave his mansion.

The Phil Spector case went to jury on March 26. Unfortunately, there were several delays, including a juror illness.

Phil Spector is perhaps best known for the "Wall of Sound" technique he invented in the 1960s and used in his work with groups including the Beatles.
