Phil Spector's Trial Two Women Also Held At Gun Point

Phil Spector's trial has taken another turn after two more women claimed the legendary producer pulled a gun on them and held one hostage.

A Los Angeles court heard that Spector, who is charged with murdering actress Lana Clarkson in Los Angeles in 2003, tried to prevent one of the women, Melissa Grosvenor, from leaving his home in 1992.

Grosvenor said she met Spector in New York in 1991 when she was a waitress and had a platonic dating relationship with him for a year and a half.

Ms Grosvenor alleges that she had been on a dinner date with Spector a year later and when she tried to leave, the producer left the room and returned brandishing a handgun.

She told the court: "He walked right up to me and put the gun right up to my face and said: 'If you try to leave, I'm going to kill you'. I was shocked, I just started crying."

Ms Grosvenor later said that she fell asleep in a chair in the living room and the next morning she flew back to New York.

Another woman, Stephanie Jennings, also told the court, that Mr Spector had held her hostage with a gun in a hotel room in 1995.

Ms Jennings alleged that he slapped or pushed her before pulling out a gun.

Although she admitted that she did not believe Spector meant to kill her, she feared for her life because he could have shot her accidentally.

These claims by the two women show a dark side held in the mind of Phil Spector.
