Music Producer Phil Spector Sentenced to 19 Years to Life for Murder of Actress
Phil Spector was sentenced Friday to 19 years to life in prison for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, who was shot through the mouth in the music producer's home six years ago. Much of the case hinged on the testimony of five women from Spector's past who said he threatened them with guns when they tried to leave his presence. A prosecutor called the case "rock solid," but Spector's defense attorney said an appeal will assert that the judge erred in allowing the women to testify.
