Los Angeles - Legendary music producer went on trial again Wednesday for the murder of B-movie actress Lana Clarkson, a year after a hung jury resulted in a mistrial.
In his opening statement, prosecutor Alan Jackson portrayed Spector as a troubled man with a history of resorting to violence and armed threats when women spurned his sexual advances, as the government alleges Clarkson did.
The case stemmed from the 2003 death of Clarkson, who was found shot to death in the foyer of Spector's castle-like home in Los Angeles after meeting him that night at a club where she was a hostess. Prosecutors allege that Spector shot her in a pique of rage, but Spector and his lawyers have argued that she was despondent and killed herself.
