LOS ANGELES(AP) - Phil Spector will contend the shooting death of an actress at his suburban mansion last week was accidental, a close friend of the legendary music producer said.
"I believe his defense will be that this was a tragic accident," said Marvin Mitchelson, a prominent Los Angeles attorney who has been friends with Spector for about 12 years and has traveled extensively with him.

May Eddie Eagle tear out this idiot's liver.
One thing is certain, however: Phil Spector will never go to prison, not for even one day, because of:
1) Celebrity status
2) Johnny Cochrane
3) Insanity defense. Everyone knows he has been loopy for years.
Is he really guilty? I dunno, I wasn't there...
He reached out and grabbed a loaded (cocked) .45 auto being held by a freind.
The freind's finger was on the trigger, and the gun went off.
Guy #1 was shot. Through the heart.
As God sometimes deigns to protect idiots from harm, he somehow survived, due to some excellent surgeons and probably more than one miracle.
If #1 had died instead, #2 would have most probably gone to prison at the least, for manslaughter, the most, life for 2nd degree murder.
It was only upon the recovery of #1 that the circumstances of the shooting were confirmed.
Until then, #2 was in the pokey on charges of (attempted ) murder, pending the survival or death of #1.
Too bad Spectre's victim didn't survive.
We'll never know (for sure) what happened, and why.
