Spector 'has disregard for human life'

The prosecution in Phil Spector's second murder trial have claimed that the incident was "waiting to happen".

Lawyers are giving the closing arguments in the Wall Of Sound producer's retrial for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, Reuters reports

Clarkson died of a single gunshot wound to the mouth at Spector's home in 2003.

Prosecutor Truc Do said: "When he's ignited, he always does the same thing - he grabs a gun.

"In every single one of these incidents, Mr. Spector demonstrates conscious disregard for human life... Her death was a death waiting to happen in his world."

Closing statements from both sides could continue until Wednesday, when the jury will retire to consider a verdict.

Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler has said that they may choose a verdict of involuntary manslaughter, an option not open to the deadlocked jurors in the first trial.
