Deadlocked Spector jury pushed for verdict

LOS ANGELES - The judge in the Phil Spector trial has sent the deadlocked jury back to try to reach a unanimous verdict on murder charges against the rock producer.

Jury deliberations were suspended on Tuesday after the jury said it was split 7-5 over a verdict without saying which way it was leaning.

Spector, 67, faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted of murdering actress Lana Clarkson with a gunshot through her mouth at his Los Angeles area home in February 2003.
