Music producer Phil Spector was charged Thursday with murder in the shooting of B-movie actress Lana Clarkson. 

Spector isn�t having a very good week. First one of the most successful albums he produced featuring his �Wall of Sound� production technique was re-released without his treatment (The Beatles �Let It Be� Naked") and now he faces murder charges.  

Spector is expected to be arraigned at 3:30 p.m.  local time at the Alhambra Superior Court house, according to a statement from the Los Angeles district attorney's office. 

The 62-year-old record producer was arrested on February 3rd after police found Clarkson's body in a pool of blood at the entrance to his mansion. Police were called out to the mansion by Spector�s driver who reported hearing gun shots inside the house. 

Spector was not charged at that time and was released on $1 million bail while the district attorney�s office decided if they had enough evidence to charge the famed record producer. It appears they do.

Spector of course says that he didn�t commit the murder; he told Esquire magazine that he believes Clarkson may have shot herself.
