LOS ANGELES - Music producer Phil Spector's murder trial ended in a mistrial Wednesday because of a deadlocked jury. Each juror told Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler they could not reach a verdict.

The mistrial came on the 12th day of deliberations on whether Spector murdered actress Lana Clarkson more than 4 1/2 years ago.

Spector, 67, is charged with second-degree murder. Clarkson, 40, died when a gun went off in her mouth as she sat in a chair in the foyer of Spector's Alhambra mansion about 5 a.m. on Feb. 3, 2003. She had met Spector just a few hours earlier at her job as a nightclub hostess and went home with him for a drink after work.
