Phil Spector Sentenced to Jail

It's taken six years to happen, but music mogul Phil Spector will finally be sent to jail for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson. The 69-year-old was sentenced today to the maximum sentence of 19 years to life in prison for the crime. His lawyer also handed over a check for $17,000 to Clarkson's mother for funeral expenses.

 

"All of our plans together are destroyed," the mother said, reading a statement on behalf of her family. "Now, I can only visit her at the cemetery."

 

Spector's first trial was ruled a mistrial when jurors couldn't reach a verdict in2 007.
