PHIL SPECTOR: FROM TEDDY BEAR TO MONSTER
Filed Under: Crimes and Misdemeanors > Lana Clarkson > Phil Spector > Prison
You’d never have guessed back in 1958 when Phil Spector was in the group The Teddy Bears that sang “To Know Him is to Love Him” that he’d turn out to be a murderer. Spector, 70, is back in the news and Lana Clarkson’s friends are not happy about it. Spector was convicted of murdering Lana and is in the process of serving a 19 years to life sentence at Corcoran State Prison. Citing an Associated Press story, Lana’s friends are outraged because Spector seems to be getting special treatment in prison. His 29 year old wife Rachelle is allowed to visit him twice a week and he is permitted to receive his OWN food and not partake in the prison fare. Spector has a private room and he petitioned for email access. This week Spector is being transferred to another prison, oddly named Happy Valley State Prison in Northern California. Erik Menendez is there and whether Spector continues with his “special treatment” remains to be seen.

GUILTY PHIL SPECTOR IS IN SHOCK

It’s been six years, but Lana Clarkson can rest in peace, at last. The revolting Phil Spector (whose excellent music has nothing to do with his demeanor) has been found guilty and faces a sentence of fifteen years to life for second degree murder. No one is more surprised than he is. He’s been getting away with close to murder for years, brandishing guns and terrorizing women and children. We’re betting he’s done nothing to prepare for this sentence because he really thought he could get away with murder. The world is a better place!
