Fifth Woman Testifies About Alleged Gunplay
The defense has conditionally rested its case in the Phil Spector murder trial, announcing that the music producer will not testify.
After that decision, Devra Robitaille, a former romantic interest of Spector, testified that the music producer threatened her at gunpoint twice about 10 years apart as she tried to leave his homes.
Other women called earlier by the prosecution described similar scenarios involving Spector.
Robitaille was called as a witness in the prosecution's rebuttal case, a move opposed by the defense on grounds the prosecution held back the witness for a surprise ending element. The judge disagreed.
Spector is accused of murdering actress Lana Clarkson in 2003, a few hours after she went home with him from her job as a nightclub hostess.
Her body was slumped in a chair in the foyer, her purse slung over an arm. She died from a gunshot fired inside her mouth.
The defense claims she shot herself.
