Phil Spector's lawyers seeking another trial in Lana Clarkson murder

Phil Spector's lawyers are seeking to have his second degree murder conviction tossed out on grounds of judicial error and prosecutorial misconduct.

Spector's team made the allegations in a 148-page brief that was filed on Wednesday, AP reports.

Spector, 70, has been holed up in a jail on a 19-year-sentence for the death of Lana Clarkson since his retrial last year. The attorneys claim Los Angeles prosecutors wrongly built a case for the sound maestro's conviction on the basis that he was of "bad character".

Clarkson's body was discovered in the lobby of Spector's mansion slumped in a chair with a gunshot wound to the head in February 2003 after she took a late-night ride back to the house with Spector – whom she had just met as a waitress at the House Of Blues.
