Jurors ask to see the gun that killed Lana Clarkson

The jury in the Phil Spector murder trial began their second day of deliberations today (September 11).

After Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler issued specific instructions to the jurors before they got down to work yesterday, the jurors asked to see the snub-nose revolver that was used to kill actress Lana Clarkson.

A bailiff then returned to the jury room carrying the .38-caliber revolver, reports the Associated Press.

It is not known how long jury deliberations will last. If Spector is found guilty, the famed producer could face 15 years to life in prison.

Spector is accused of murdering Clarkson at his Los Angeles mansion on February 3, 2003. The defence contends the actress' death was suicide.
