Phil Spector -- Hung?

Posted Sep 18th 2007 4:41PM by TMZ Staff

The jury in the Phil Spector trial has indicated to a judge that they have been unable to come to reach a verdict.

Superior Court Judge Larry Fidler says he is considering giving the jury the option of weighing a possible manslaughter charge. The jury is currently considering only a second degree murder charge against the music producer.

The judge has just asked the jurors how they are split. The foreperson has told the judge they are divided 7 to 5. No word on how many are voting for a guilty verdict or how many are leaning towards acquittal.

16. Unbelievable. There are people on death row who AREN'T guilty and yet this guy who is obviously as guilty as sin can get acquitted? Justice is not just blind, it's deaf, dumb and practically non-existent.

18. If I were sobering up in the wee hours of the morning to Phil Spector, I might opt to commit suicide - BUT LANA CLARKSON DID NOT! This guy deserves to bunk with Scott Peterson. What the hell is wrong with that jury?!

19. I can't see what the problem is when there was a witness that heard him and seen him holding the gun. I can't see anything that could lead you to him not being guilty. God help America

24. Yep it's gonna be another OJ. Let me all enlighten you about that old case while here. I am in a wheelchair. Its a Quickie 2 sports model. To safely wheel as a damn strong and active "para", I have to have fingerless weightlifting leather gloves. Otherwise I burn my hands at 13 mph. I can tell you from experience that gloves exposed to rainwater from a rd surface and allowed to dry will shrink. I have a helluva time sometimes. Blood is no different. Normally those gloves would have fit OJ just fine, but the blood dried. Guilty!

28. COME ON! How ignorant is this jury? They must be made of the same stuff OJ's jury who acquitted him was. How can another obvious murderer walk free? Only in America.....
