TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

New Musical Express magazine 10-05-2004:

PHIL SPECTOR has accused police of aggressive behaviour during his arrest at his home in February 2003 at a hearing on Friday (May 7).. . .

the famed producer spoke out at an impromptu press conference, despite attorney Leslie Abramson’s pleas to the contrary. . . .

Abramson held a press conference in the hall, with Spector interrupting many of her claims.

Speaking of his arrest, Spector interjected her speech, commenting: "Broken nose, two black eyes and 50,000 volts shot through me (Taser gun) after I invited the police into my home."

He also spoke about the defence's key witness, Spector’s driver, who claims Spector said "I think I shot someone," as he left his LA home on the night of Clarkson’s death.

"He is illegal," Spector said. "He is an illegal alien threatened with deportation."

Abramson said that the driver has a poor grasp of English, and that she believes he has been given immunity from deportation through his co-operation . . .

Sydeny Morning Herald 07 May 2004 :

A coroner's report - a forensic analysis prepared four days after the February 3, 2003 death of Lana Clarkson at Spector's Los Angeles home - found she was shot through the mouth with a .38-calibre Colt revolver, and had gunshot residue on both hands. . . .

The gun had one spent round and five live rounds in the cylinder, it said.

DNA analysis of blood found on the gun's exterior and inside the barrel was also found to match Clarkson's DNA.

Autopsy drawings show that Clarkson had a broken acrylic fingernail on her right thumb, which defence lawyers are expected to argue came from firing the gun.

Other reports in the coroner's file showed Clarkson had alcohol and the prescription painkiller Vicodin in her system when she died.

Her purse, which still hung from her shoulder when police found her slumped in a chair in the foyer of Spector's mansion, contained over-the-counter cold and pain medications such as Tylenol . . .

The dead girl showed up in Spector's pool right before Faul released his own new cut of Beatles album "Let It Be," excising not only Spector's strings but also Lennon's list of replaced celebrities in "Dig It," and snarky dialog line about Faul's "audition."
