Yoko Ono will speak in defence of Spector · 2007-04-20 16:20
A 12-member jury was on Thursday chosen to hear the murder trial of legendary music producer Phil Spector.
Spector (67) is accused of shooting dead B-movie actress Lana Clarkson at his home in Los Angeles on 3 February 2003.
Spector, who denies committing the murder, is alleged to have told police officers who arrived at his place immediately after the shooting: “I didn’t mean to shoot her.”
He told Esquire magazine in 2003 that Clarkson shot herself. “She kissed the gun,” said Spector.
Yoko Ono will be a character witness at the murder trial of Phil Spector.
The widow of Beatle John Lennon will join Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards to testify in defence of Spector as he faces life in jail.
According to Daily Mail, Spector once fired a gun over Lennon’s head during a stormy recording session in Los Angeles.
Lennon reportedly said to Spector: “Phil, if you're going to kill me, kill me. But don’t f*** with me ears. I need ‘em.”
