Spector case records released

POLICE responding to an emergency call at the home of legendary record producer Phil Spector in February found a blood-spattered gun, broken teeth and the body of an actress who had been shot in the mouth, according to court records.

Lana Clarkson, 40, was found slumped in a chair in Spector’s hilltop mansion in Alhambra, east of Los Angeles. Her broken teeth were scattered around the foyer and stairway, and a blood-spattered .38 calibre Colt revolver lay under her left leg, the records say.

The Associated Press obtained the search warrants and police reports yesterday from author Carlton Smith, who petitioned the court to have them released.
