Legendary record producer Phil Spector's murder trial has been adjourned until September when both prosecutors and Spector's defense attorneys said they would be busy with other trials until that time.
Spector has been accused of murdering actress Lana Clarkson in the foyer of his mansion outside Los Angeles on February 3, 2003.
Spector remains free on $1 million bail while he awaits trial. The 66-year-old producer, famous for his 'Wall of Sound' style of production, told the judge he was willing to wait until September so his lead attorney, Bruce Cutler, would be able to defend him in court.
The prosecutor's office also indicated they did not mind the postponement. 'It doesn't hurt us at all. We still think we have a strong case,' Los Angeles County District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison said.
In addition to his 'Wall of Sound' method of producing, Spector is best known for his work on The Beatles' 'Let It Be' album. He also produced some of John Lennon's best solo work including albums like 'Plastic Ono Band' and 'Imagine.'
According to prosecutors, Spector murdered the 40-year-old B-movie actress hours after meeting her at The House of Blues club on the Sunset Strip.
The autopsy report on Clarkson said that she died after a revolver was placed in her mouth and fired. Spector has said that Clarkson committed suicide.
