Spector, wearing his usual dark pinstripe suit with a red silk, a tie, was led away immediately. His lawyer asked that he be transferred immediately from the county jail to state prison. It was not known immediately prison Spector, who will be awarded.

Spector has gained fame decades ago for what became known as the "Wall of Sound" recording technique that changed rock music.Clarkson was best known as the star in a 1985 Roger Corman cult film classic "barbarian queen." She was 40 when she died.

Spector was frail and suffering 69-year-olds who 19 years can probably lives. His lawyer said he was permanently prison by focusing on its plans to appeal.

"It is this very well," said Doron Weinberg. "He is adapting to circumstances and establish awaiting with great expectations. He believes he will win the appeal."

Spector had two studies with essentially the same evidence. His first was in 2007 gavel to gavel television and spectators flocked to the courtroom. But when the jury blocked after five months trial, his legal "dream team", which sometimes numbered a half dozen lawyers rescued.

During jury selection, only a few of the panelists remembered Spector heyday as a producer and anthem of crimes, including "To know him is to love him," The Ronette of "Be My Baby" crystals "Da Doo Ron Ron" and fair Brothers " classic "You Lost that Lovin 'feeling." "Spector also worked on the Beatles album with John Lennon.

His time has passed. And Clarkson's career is ebbing. Their fateful meeting recounted in the two studies led to his death at the end of his life as he knew it. For the next six years he has spent millions on lawyers, which he wants to prove that Clarkson killed himself.

But what happened inside his house has never been clear. Clarkson body fell into a chair in the lobby. A gun was fired inside her mouth. Spector of the master key witness said he heard gunfire, then saw Spector emerge holding a gun and heard him say: "I think I killed somebody."
