Good.

I concur! It's about time these rich bastards are held accountable. Way to many times in the past has their celebrityhood kept them out of jail! This guy did it! After reasoning the evidence, I don't know how else you can figure it.

The judge denied bail and Spector, wearing a fire-engine red tie and pocket square, was taken into custody after the verdict was announced. He also wore a "Barack Obama Rocks" button on his left suit lapel.

IIRC, this was the second trial as the first one resulted in a hung jury.

I'd convict him for this very reason alone....

US music producer Phil Spector has been jailed for at least 19 years for murdering an actress in 2003.

On Friday, Spector was given a sentence of 15 years to life for second-degree murder and an additional four years for personal use of a gun.

The presiding judge at the court in Los Angeles said Spector must serve at least 19 years before being eligible for parole - by which time he will be 88 years old.

They have his mug shot at the smoking gun.   He looks a lot better without the wig.

Phil wrote a couple of tunes for friends back in 1966......very sad state of affairs. He should have been institutionalized years ago when he abused Ronnie Spector (wife).
