Will Phil Spector Get Death?

It’s been hard to keep up with the whirlwind trial of Phil Spector — if anyone remembers, he was accused of killing actress Lana Clarkson four years ago — but it was announced today that jury selection for the trial will now finally commence.

Well, in two months. (“We have to get this to trial”, declared Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler, who’s been granting postponement after postponement since February 2003, but no need to rush things.)

So will Spector, now 67 years old, be facing the death penalty if he’s convicted?

At this rate, only if he dies of old age.
