The jury weighing the fate of Phil Spector was not able to render a unanimous verdict in the music producer's murder trial, forcing Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler to declare a mistrial Wednesday afternoon (September 26), according to The Associated Press.
All the jurors told Fidler they were at an impasse, with the foreman explaining that the panel was logjammed 10 to 2. There was no indication which way the majority was leaning.
"At this time, I will find that the jury is unable to arrive at a verdict and declare a mistrial in this matter," Fidler said, ending nearly two weeks of deadlocked deliberations in the case involving the death of 40-year-old actress Lana Clarkson.
