No Spector trial update, sorry

Phil Spector's murder trial did not proceed on its first day after a juror broke his foot, and Judge Larry Fidler has delayed proceedings until the following week.

You might be relieved to hear it, but we can't give you an update on Phil Spector's murder trial today. This is because the case was held up on its first day because a juror fell in the courthouse car park and broke his foot, and wanted, understandably, to get treatment for his injury and return on Monday.

Judge Larry Fidler was reluctant to use an alternate juror so early in the proceedings, and has decided to wait until the chap in question can return next week. The first scheduled witness, retired New York City police Detective Vincent Tannazzo, who was in court ready to testify before the accident occurred, has been ordered to return on Monday.

Spector, as much, much previously reported, denies shooting actress Lana Clarkson at his home in Los Angeles in 2003.
