Phil Spector

After 5 months of trial and 44 hours of jury deliberations a mistrial has been declared. Last week the jury was sitting at a 7-5 deadlock but was sent back with the instructions to try again. Turned out to just be a couple of hold outs, according to E! News:

A mistrial was declared Wednesday in the Phil Spector case with jurors deadlocked 10-2 despite 12 days of deliberations.

Almost immediately, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office vowed to retry Spector, the reclusive producer of Wall of Sound-styled 1960s hits such as “Be My Baby,” “Unchained Melody” and “To Know Him Is to Love Him.”

Spector’s defense team was almost as quick—to register its gratitude.

“We thank the people of Los Angeles for keeping an open mind and the jury for their very hard work and willingness to share their thoughts with us,” Spector attorney Linda Kenney Baden said, per a local wire service.

Spector, 67, showed no emotion as the mistrial was declared.

The retrial by the DA won’t be Spector’s only concern at this point either. He’ll also have to face off against Clarkson’s family in a civil trial, much like OJ Simpson’s did.
