Money talks and bullshit walks.
Thank God Clarkson's family isn't about to let the one-time music producer great off the hook:
But Spector's legal woes will continue.
"We're disappointed and we will begin immediately preparing for the retrial," said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley, at a brief news conference. She took no questions.
Spector, a record producer who reached the height of his fame almost two generations ago, was charged with killing Lana Clarkson, 40, an actress and nightclub hostess who was found shot through the mouth on Feb. 3, 2003.
"We will not rest until justice is done," said Clarkson family attorney John C. Taylor. The family has filed a civil suit against Spector, but that is likely to be delayed until the criminal issues are resolved.
The Spector case is the latest celebrity trial in Southern California to end without a conviction. He will remain free on $1 million bail.
