Spector Pleads ‘Not Guilty’

Legendary “Wall of Sound” recording producer Phil Spector entered a plea of “not guilty” Thursday to murdering his wife, actress Lana Clarkson in February. The arraignment was in superior court in Alhambra, California, about 16 miles East of Los Angeles, according to Reuters. Spector remains free on bail, and was ordered to appear in court again on Jan. 23, according to the wire service. He’s charged with a single count of first-degree murder. Former O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro represents Spector.
The “Wall of Sound” technique involved layering orchestral music in rock tunes such as the Spector-produced Beatles album “Let It Be.”
