Warrants Detail Case Against Phil Spector

DECEMBER 10--After allegedly murdering actress Lana Clarkson, Phil Spector ran out of his mansion holding a handgun and announced, "I think I just killed someone," according to documents unsealed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The below search warrant affidavit details the record producer's bar-hopping activities on the February evening that ended with Clarkson, 40, slumped on the floor of Spector's estate with a gunshot wound to her mouth. According to his chauffeur, Spector, 63, met Clarkson at the House of Blues, where the impresario ordered an $8.50 alcoholic drink and a $5.00 bottle of water--and left a $450 tip. Ninety minutes after the pair arrived at Spector's home, the driver heard a gunshot and then saw the reclusive music power exit his home carrying a handgun. (18 pages)
