Staying in the pop courts, Phil Spector has spoken about his pending murder trial in a new BBC documentary called 'Secret
Map of Hollywood'. He is pleading a similar defence as Jacko
- that he is being targeted by prosecutors because of who he is.
When interviewed about the death of actress Lana Clarkson at his
Hollywood home back in Feb 2003 he tells the BBC show that she shot herself: "It's not for me to explain why she took her life. It's only for me to explain that I had nothing to do with it and I didn't. This prosecution is bogus. I mean it has to be because of who I am."
Talking about the way local police acted in the aftermath of the shooting he continued: "They behaved like cowboys. I had no weapon.
I'm five foot five. They came in with weapons drawn. It has to be because I live in a castle. It has to be a frame up because it's not based on real evidence. I had nothing to do with her death and three coroners have stated that. Case closed, move on, you know."
As previously reported, Spector's trial will begin on 16 Sep.
