Episode 10 - CA v Phillip Spector: The Ogre in the Castle Kills the Beauty

In Episode 10, State of California v. Phillip Spector, Lisa and Kyle talked about the murder of actress/model Lana Clarkson by music producer Phil Spector. On February 3, 2003, Lana accompanied Spector to his mansion in Alhambra, CA. Spector, who had a history of violence against women, shot and killed Lana at around 5:00 a.m. Later, he claimed that Lana killed herself. When that didn't work, he claimed she accidentally shot herself. They talked about the scandal that was the beginning of the end for Dr. Henry C. Lee, Spector's first trial, his second trial and conviction in April, 2009 and his sentencing in May, 2009. Spector, who would've become eligible for parole this year, died of COVID-19 in January, 2021.
