This just in from msnbc.com: "LOS ANGELES - Record producer Phil Spector's murder trial ended in a mistrial Wednesday because of a jury deadlock.
Each juror told Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler they could not reach a verdict.
"At this time, I will find that the jury is unable to arrive at a verdict and declare a mistrial in this matter," the judge said.
he mistrial came on the 12th day of deliberations on whether Spector murdered actress Lana Clarkson more than 4 1/2 years ago. The nine-man, three-woman panel had heard about five months of testimony.
The foreman reported the panel was deadlocked 10-2 but did not indicate which way they were leaning.
The jury reported a 7-5 impasse last week and had resumed deliberations with modified instructions.
There was no discussion about whether there will be a retrial."

I wonder how much $$ he bribed them with.

I saw the special on Dateline (i think) about the trial. I can't believe it ended in a mistrial. Phil's an incredible talent, and I appreciate everything he's given to the music world, but they should have found him guilty of something. I believe crazy can be a good thing at times (esp in a music context), but Phil Spector's craziness is ridiculous. Did the defense argue insanity?
