A bizarre interview, in which the convicted killer talks in detail about the 2003 slaying of Lana Clarkson, has been released by a former employee of the “Wall of Sound” legend.
In the interview, said to have been filmed in 2005, Spector, now 71, chats at length about the Feb. 3 shooting, which he labels an “accidental suicide.” The kooky producer — who worked with rock royalty like Tina Turner, The Beatles, and The Righteous Brothers — accuses police investigating Clarkson’s death of behaving like “drunken animals,” who broke his nose, gave him two black eyes, cracked his spine, and tasered him with 50,000 volts of electricity.
“I’m Phil Spector and I’ve been accused of the most heinous crime that one can be accused of. I’m here to dispel some the most incredible rumors that have come out about me and the act that took place in my home, which is a castle,” Spector begins, with trembling hands.
“Phil Spector could never have done this, he could never stand up and shoot a girl in the mouth with a gun, where’s my history of this?” he adds. (Don’t you hate it when people refer to themselves in the third person?) “How come for the last 40 years you’ve never heard stories about me pointing gun in women’s mouths, blowing their heads open? I’ve been functioning fine as a human being.”
The famous producer was found guilty of the murder of Lana Clarkson and is currently serving 19 years to life in prison. At his second trial (The first ended with a hung jury) five former female acquaintances testified that Spector had threatened them at gunpoint in incidents dating back to the 1970s.
Spector’s former chauffeur also offered damning evidence against the reclusive star, telling jurors that on the night of the shooting his boss had emerged from a doorway clutching a pistol in a bloodied hand, ranting: “I think I killed somebody.”
