Phil Spector Appeals Murder Conviction

Attorneys for music producer Phil Spector are
trying to overturn his murder conviction on the basis that the
judge made mistakes in his trial. Spector's attorneys have argued
to the California 2nd District Court of Appeal that the judge made
judicial errors in Spector's trial for the murder of actress Lana
Clarkson in 2003. The judges on the appeal panel have 90 days to
decide whether Spector should have a new trial. If he gets one, it
will be his third. His first ended in mistrial, and the second
resulted in conviction, with Spector serving 19 years to life in
prison.
