Prospective jurors interviewed for selection in Spector murder trial

JURY selection began yesterday in the murder trial of legendary music producer Phil Spector — four years after an actress who starred in a cult movie was shot to death in the foyer of his castle-like home.

Jurors will be asked to decide if Spector was responsible for the death of Lana Clarkson, who was shot in the face on February 3, 2003.

They will consider conflicting evidence about what happened before police found Clarkson, 40, slumped dead in a chair, her teeth blown out by a gunshot to her mouth. She was best known as the star of Roger Corman’s cult film Barbarian Queen. She was working as a hostess at the House of Blues when she went home with Spector that night.
