Phil Spector update

The Judge in the Phil Spector case said today that the jury will not consider a lesser charge. Yesterday the jury deadlocked. Judge Fidler told the attorneys that if he were to tell the jury to decide on a lesser charge that they might think they should find Spector guilty of manslaughter. He told the lawyers that that would be inapproriate. So what happens now? Fidler is not about to declare a mistrial, and he was clearly troubled by the impasse after a 5 month trial. Fun times!
