Spector shrinks his case load

Giving him more time to concentrate on the whole murder case thing, Phil Spector has settled with a former assistant. The pair were locked a sue-loop, Spector claiming she'd pinched money from him; the assistant, Michelle Blaine, claiming he'd shown her his penis and once asked her to book a prostitute for him.

Spector is set to get half a million from his assistant, and now all the cases are off. He's expected to invest the money in his defence on charges of murdering Lana Clarkson, charges which he denies.
