Phil Spector: Equal Opportunity Pistol-Whipper

Phil Spector’s retrial for the ‘03 murder of Lana Clarkson is underway and his latest defense strategy is to show that he habitually threatened both women and men with guns.

The Times reports, in cross-examination Spector’s attorney “has seized on instances in which Spector drew weapons on men or carried firearms in the course of his daily life. [Weinberg] asked a woman who alleges Spector pistol-whipped her when they were dating in the early 90’s to recount a time when the producer pulled a revolver on a group of young men who mistook him for the actor Dudley Moore.”
