Phil Spector, the music producer, compared a prosecutor to Adolf Hitler yesterday after appearing in court charged with the murder of an actress.

Spector, 63, made his outburst after pleading innocent in court to a murder charge relating to the death of the actress Lana Clarkson, who starred in a string of films including The Barbarian Queen and Amazon Women on the Moon.

He was arrested after Ms Clarkson was found shot dead at his mansion near Los Angeles on 3 February 2003. Following his brief court appearance yesterday, Spector condemned the decision of the prosecutor to seek a grand jury indictment, which eliminates the need for a preliminary hearing.

He claimed the absence of such a hearing was a violation of his rights as a California tax payer.

He said: "The actions of the Hitler-like district attorney and his storm trooper henchmen are reprehensible, unconscionable and despicable ... This district attorney is pursuing a personal vendetta."

Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the district attorney, said: "There is nothing politically motivated about this case. Ms Clarkson was killed almost two years ago. We basically want this case to go to trial."

In spite of all that I've read about Phil, it's sad to think that it's come to this. Actually, it's sad that the young lady lost her life. I do believe that Phils' mean spiritedness has finally caught up to him. I wouldn't expect a positive outcome for Phil this time! He's made a lot of enemies over the years, it looks as though payment is due for all of the bad karma.
