Spector to Face the Music?
Phil Spector may soon have to face the music in court.
Spector's new lawyer, Roger Rosen, told reporters Wednesday he suspects his client has been indicted by a secret grand jury for the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson.
Spector's legal eagle, a man not to be messed with (Rosen once represented mob boss John Gotti), said he has been asked by Los Angeles prosectors to meet Monday, with Spector in tow.
"Nobody said to me, 'Your client has been indicted,' " Rosen told Reuters, "but as a former deputy district attorney and a lawyer for 34 years, I can't imagine any other reason to be there Monday morning with Phil."
Prosectors have not confirmed the conversation, but they have been working on a murder case against Spector since his arrest last year. Clarkson was found dead in Spector's home Feb. 3, 2003.
Spector has long maintained Clarkson shot herself at his castle-like estate near Los Angeles, and he famously told Esquire magazine in a July 2003 interview just months after he posted bail that the 40-year-old B-movie actress/cocktail waitress simply "kissed the gun."
The 64-year-old music producer, best-known for his pioneering "Wall of Sound" recording technique, was charged in November 2003 with Clarkson's murder after an investigation that dragged on over eight months.
Recently, Spector and Rosen thought they had bought more time by focusing on a possible preliminary hearing, in which prosecutors would have had to show enough evidence against Spector to actually warrant a trial.
But now, it looks as if the prelim is toast. If an indicment is indeed handed down Monday, the preliminary evidentiary hearing will not happen--a bad sign for Team Spector's dismissal chances (although Rosen is spinning the news against prosecutors, saying they may have a weak case).
"Phil is very disappointed," Rosen told Reuters. "He believed that at the time of the preliminary hearing we would have the opportunity to challenge the evidence. He felt strongly that there was a very significant possibility that this case would be thrown out at the prelim, so he's very disappointed that he's lost that chance."
Spector remains free on $1 million bail.
