Jurors Spend A Day At The Spector Mansion
Jurors in the Phil Spector trial are soon expected to hear testimony from Devra Robitaille, the fifth witness who'll testify that Spector had held them at gunpoint when they threatened to leave his Alhambra mansion—sort of like the Playboy Mansion, but with fewer big parties, more acts of violence against women, and about an equal amount of obscenely rich, eccentric, and horny old proprietors wandering around. Earlier today, the jurors got a look at the crime scene itself. From the AP report:
Jurors, lawyers and Spector himself arrived at the home, 15 miles northeast of Los Angeles, in several vans shortly before 10:30 a.m. They stopped at the home's parking area before going inside to the foyer where Clarkson's body was found, slumped down in a chair, with a gunshot wound through her mouth.
The parking area is where a chauffeur who took Spector and Clarkson to the home has testified he was waiting in his car when he heard a gunshot from inside the house. He said Spector came out and told him, "I think I killed somebody."
Regrettably omitted from the tour due to time constraints weres such castle highlights as Spector's walk-in wig humidor, and a tour of Snow White's Basement, containing the fabled glass casket the music producer threatened many a disobedient female companion with in the past.
