Hotel sues Phil Spector over $100,000 unpaid bills

LOS ANGELES —

A Los Angeles hotel is suing Phil Spector, his wife and agent for failing to pay more than $100,000 in accommodations for lawyers and expert witnesses in his murder trial.


In court papers filed Wednesday, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites alleged the defendants agreed in a written contract to reserve rooms for the duration of the trial. The lawsuit claims that by the time Spector was acquitted in September, the defendants owed the hotel more than $104,000.


The producer faces a second trial in the murder of actress Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003. He is known for his "Wall of Sound" recording technique.
