Phil Spector Update: Jury Still Confused

The jury isn’t the only one confused by recent developments in the Phil Spector murder trail, I am too and it sounds like USA Today is as well. The paper reports that the jury, still deadlocked 7-5 was confused about the judges instructions stating that "the defendant must have committed an act that caused the death of Lana Clarkson.” The act was supposed to have been pointing a gun at Clarkson, but now the judge has withdrawn that specific instruction. He gave a new set of instructions today that, according to USA Today, included examples of inferences the jury could draw from the evidence, including the possibility that Spector forced Clarkson to place the gun in her own mouth and it went off.”

Um. How many ways can you be convicted of murder? It’s a hung jury, buddy, stop making it easier. This is how the justice system works.

We’ll let you know when, if ever, the jury comes back with a verdict.
