Super Producer, Phil Spector, is still not out of the woods...



After Phil Spector’s trial ended in a mistrial last September after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict in his murder charges in the death of actress Lana Clarkson, attorneys are now gearing up for a re-trial based on a new witness testimony.

Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Alan Jackson’s new witness, Norma Kemper, reportedly gave investigators an account with the same locations Spector visited the night of Clarkson's death.


Kemper, who was hired as Spector's assistant in 1996, claims that he took her to dinner at Dan Tana's, the Los Angeles restaurant he visited the night of Clarkson's death. She claims that Spector became drunk and made romantic advances toward her. When she turned him down, he allegedly showed her a holstered gun under his jacket and said, "You know I could kill you right now."

Spector's defense attorneys say they intend to oppose the use of Kemper's testimony in the re-trial, along with those of five other women who testified in Spector's original murder trial.
