Spector defence: Actress had 'classic self-inflicted' wound

The gun that killed actress Lana Clarkson was not forced into her mouth and the manner of her death was “a classic self-inflicted type of injury,” Phil Spector’s lawyers told the murder trial today.

Clarkson’s body was found seated in the foyer of Spector’s suburban mansion early on the morning of February 3, 2003. She had met record producer Spector at the House of Blues, where she was a hostess, and agreed to accompany him on a chauffeur-driven ride to his home.
