Hotel sues Phil Spector over unpaid bills

LOS ANGELES (AP) -June 19, 2008

In court papers filed in Los Angeles Wednesday, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites allege the defendants agreed in a written contract to reserve rooms for the duration of the trial. The lawsuit claims that by the time Spector's trial ended with a hung jury in September, the defendants owed the hotel more than $104,000.

The lawsuit alleges fraud, breach of written contract and other charges.

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