LOS ANGELES, May 29 (UPI) -- Famed music producer Phil Spector, who was convicted last month of killing actress Lana Clarkson in 2003, was sentenced Friday to 19 years to life in prison.
Spector, 69, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Clarkson at his Los Angeles area home. His lawyers, who argued the woman's death was a suicide, have vowed to appeal the conviction.
