Spector's lawyer, Bruce Cutler, made the announcement on Monday that he and the music producer are parting ways. He attributed the split to "a difference of opinion between Mr. Spector and me on strategy."
His departure comes as the defense nears the end of testimony and while Cutler was expected to return to court to provide closing arguments, someone else will have to present when final arguments take place on September 5th.
