LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Music producer Phil Spector was sentenced Friday to the maximum sentence of 19 years to life for the murder six years ago of actress Lana Clarkson.

Phil Spector's first murder trial in 2007 ended in a mistrial as jurors said they couldn't reach a verdict.

That means Spector, 69, would be 88 before he would be eligible for parole.

Moral of the story is if you are going to kill someone, get rid of the body...

I don't know much about legal stuff...but how can they try you again for the same crime?

The first jury couldn't make up their minds right? That means some of them felt he was not guilty and others thought he was so it was a hung jury.

So these days the govt. can basically just keep trying you over and over until they finally get a jury that convicts you?

I think if your not found guilty you can't be charged... that would be double jeoperdy.

If it's a hung jury it's up to the prosecuter to establish the case again and try

These days? Um.... hung juries have always allowed the prosecution to re-try someone. This is not new. This goes back about 230 years. A hung jury is not a verdict.

correct.....also a person can be retried for the same crime if the different prosecutions come from state and federal.....

One can be cleared of the state charge and then the feds can come in and charge you with the same shit.

Yea, the average dude from the hood would know the exceptions to double jeopardy along with the knowledge of how to cook up crack cocaine.

Nah... I wasn't really talking about the exceptions... I was talking about how the FEDS will swoop in when the state is going to/or has lost. 99% of us lilly white suburbinites don't have a fucking clue how the deck is stacked. From what you said... you obviously know how it plays out. If you see a piece of paper with "The United States of America VS. (your name)" it's time to say your goodbyes. There is no TV show fancy lawyer footwork in Federal Court. The conviction rate is almost as good as the effectiveness of birth control pills.... not good odds.

Crack almost always goes federal since they can basically throw away the key with an amount that any junkie could smoke in a single night. Then there's always the all encompassing conspiracy laws which give the lower guys the most time since they don't have anyone to snitch on. I'm so fucking sick of my taxes going to pay for all that shit. Now, Specter..... that's tax dollars well spent.

Sorry about my mandatory minimums rant. Please proceed as usual.

correct

double jeopardy prohibits you from being tried a second time is found not guilty

if its a hung jury its like a push. No one wins so the govt gets another shot at you if they wish
