Phil Spector Faces Second Legal Action
By James Wray Feb 5, 2005, 15:15 GMT
Phil Spector is now facing a civil action from the mother of Lana Clarkson, the actress he is accused of murdering.
Donna Clarkson is said to be pursuing unspecified damages from the producer, even as he is awaiting trial.
Lawyers for the Clarkson family said: "The Clarkson family had hoped that there would be some resolution with regard to the criminal proceedings before moving forward with the civil action.
"However, Ms Clarkson and her family understand that the fair administration of justice takes time and in light of the numerous changes Mr Spector has made in his legal defense team over the last two years, Ms Clarkson was forced to file the action before (the statute of limitations expired) on 3 February 2005."
Spector is a free man at the moment out on $1million bail while he waits to be tried.
His lawyers say he neither criminally nor civilly responsible for the actresses death and have vowed to clear his name.
