Spector sued over unpaid hotel bills

Phil Spector has been sued by a Los Angeles hotel over unpaid bills, reports the Press Association.

The record producer reserved rooms at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites for lawyers and witnesses at his murder trial last year.

When his trial concluded with a deadlocked jury last September, the defendants vacated the hotel rooms that were reserved for the duration of the court case, reportedly failing to pay $104,000 (£53,000) in fees.

Spector will face a retrial later this year. He denies murdering actress Lana Clarkson, who was found dead from a gunshot wound at his home in 2003.
