Spector trial could be televised

The judge in the murder case against music producer Phil Spector said today he is leaning toward allowing the trial to be televised and will make a decision after hearing from lawyers later this month.

The 67-year-old producer, famed for creating the “wall-of-sound” recording technique that revolutionised pop music, is charged with killing actress Lana Clarkson in his suburban mansion on February 3, 2003.
