Legal
Spector to be sentenced today
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 29 May 2009
Phil Spector is due in court in LA later today to be sentenced for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003. Technically speaking he should face fifteen years to life in prison for the crime.
As previously reported, the prosecution are pushing for at least nineteen years, I think because they reckon he should also get four years for a related gun crime, in addition to the fifteen years for causing Clarkson’s death.
However, Spector’s lawyer Doron Weinberg has requested the sentence be reduced to just three years. The legal man also again argued Spector’s conviction had been based on “conjecture, not facts” and confirmed his client’s intention to appeal the ruling.
